Yo! Here be the August Stundie nom thread

Cracked mocked this one. (card #8 on that article).

Wait, so this guy thinks that we're not allowed to disagree with each other or debate? I'm confused.......

I guess he's trying to say that we should all be nicer to each other when it comes to political discourse, which would be a good sentiment, except it comes off as "only I am allowed to be rude and insulting!" He also thinks the First Amendment says things it doesn't say.

The sad thing is, there are plenty of people on the Internet who seem to think exactly that. I've seen them complaining when they were banned from websites. They don't seem to understand that websites are technically private property, in a sense, and someone could kick you off their property if they don't like the way you tie your shoes.

Dumb Canuck that I am, I thought it was the right to speak one's mind and not be prosecuted by the gov't for doing so.
Scorn and ridicule from other citizens afaik, was never addressed given that such scorn or ridicule would be included in the right to free speech.

But wadda I know, I don't live there!

Freedom of Speech means you can say (with a very few exceptions) what you want and be free from the threat of Government prosecution;it does not mean what you say is free from consequences.
You have a perfect right under the First Admendment to go into your bosses's office and call him a dumb SOB to his face,but that will not protect you from being fired.

From an thread on Scientology - One must first be a believer in something in order to properly evaluate research and facts about it.

The bridge starts with Life Repair and progresses through twenty steps to clear. The courses give over half the gains.

If you don't know for certain that the Emeter works, then discussing even the first step - Life Repair - is folly. Discussing OT is absurd.

Every Scientologist knows with 100% certainty that the Emeter works in the application for which it was designed.

That's 100% certainty! There's no room for other opinions. Scientologists have a solid belief that the Emeter works.
If you don't believe in the Emeter, get a demonstration in Scientology.

A prerequsite for these discussions is a belief that the Emeter works. If you don't believe that the Emeter works, you won't believe in anything else, so why argue?

Arguing Scientology with a person that doesn't believe that the Emeter works is like arguing a newspaper article with someone that doesn't believe that people can read.

It would be insane to discuss Scientology with anybody that doesn't believe that the emeter works.
It only takes moments for the Church of Scientology to give you a demonstration of the Emeter and an hour for an Introductory session. It is insane to discuss the emeter to anyone that won't avail himself of those opportunities. A demonstration is worth a thousand words to each person that wants to know.

I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race when I hear a scientologist speak. The dumbest of the dumb.

You know, that's the best part. If it were trying to be even slightly realistic you'd think they'd have electrodes attached to your scalp to monitor the various regions of your brain. Holding a "can" in each hand to make an analog monitor needle swing up or down is pretty much a party trick. :rolleyes:

Come, sir: not just *any* can:

I know the David Icke forum is easy pickings for the Stundies, but this post by "moonchess" is a classic;



http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=218836

It's matrix programming on a grand scale, I posted this earlier and it's just one example:

In 2008 the Olympics was held in a country known for exploiting workers with practically slave labor conditions and being a huge human rights violator. But, because the Olympics was held in the country it's like the entire world was endorsing the horrors of the country.

In 2012 the Olympics shifts to a country that's far from perfect but probably a world leader in human rights and worker's rights.

In 2016 the Olympics will be held in a country known for exploiting workers with practically slave labor conditions (and actual slave labor) and being a huge human rights violator. But, because the Olympics will be held in the country it's like the entire world will be endorsing the horrors of the country.

Do to the superficial thought process of most people they'll link the British system and government to the Chinese and Brazilian systems and governments and think of them as being equally good and valid. When you realize this trick had to be intentionally planned, it's about as evil as it gets in my mind.

This is a fantastic example of how we're herded into the matrix reality and how and why we think it's normal and good. The programming is happening on a level that most people can't even imagine much less comprehend.
 
mhaze uses a couple of novels about things that have never happened in real life to support his case that a dictatorship could occur. But they were made into movies!

mhaze said:
No to almost all the above responses to the OP. A dictatorship could easily arise as the result of dire circumstances. Two books that come to mind regarding this happening in England are "V for Vendetta", and "Children of Men", both of which were made into movies.

The Emeter does work. Just as a baby knows that gravity works when he drops things on the floor from his highchair and squeals with delight as he watches gravity pull the object towards the floor. The baby does not need to read a scientific explaination of gravity or know that v=at. The baby just knows that gravity pulls things towards the floor.

Yeah, we could easily become a facist dictatorship in real life, just as long as:
1) Women stop giving birth for some reason that never entirely convinced.
Or
2) Thatcherism continued down the extreme right wing into satire, via the events that remain unexplained (except in terms of propogandar). Though V reflected a nightmare of where certain trends might lead, it was clearly not intended as any kind of prediction.

Besides, to my mind V will always be a weekly comic, that happened to be collected in book form later. Sorry folks.

God, that is idiocy of the highest order;but because it is not conspiracy oriented is does not qualify for a Stundie.
