Sunday, September 01, 2013 - Posting this screencap here for posterity.

I'm familiar with the Bushmaster brand but what the heck is a ".223 Buschmaster assault rifle"? Is that some new AR variant that comes with a Budweiser dispenser?

I don't normally get in to the nit picking of grammar and spelling but color me skeptical of claims of inside knowledge by someone who can't even spell the name of arguably (in a lot of people's case for all the wrong reasons unfortunately) one of the most widely known firearms manufacturers in the US. Oh that and the story is complete and utter bovine excrement.....

Don't knock it. The Dow atmosphere keeps the snowfall down in our little chemically-enhanced town.

Not the January and February I was there. I seem to remember drifts higher than my head. Unless it would have snowed even more than that without the Dow plant there? I don't want to think about that. (Those two months are responsible for my vow that if I ever got back to some place the snow wasn't piled up that deep, I would never again complain about the heat in August.)

And I wasn't knocking the Dow-enhanced sunsets. They're quite spectacular. :D
 
It's currently 5:26 PM in Saginaw, Michigan. Nothing majorly of note seems to have happened in Michigan so far. Let's hope (I, only, because I'm the crazy one) nothing happens.

What? Are you saying you're crazy for not wanting a shooting or somesuch to occur?
 
Once again, the delusional liar on the internet is wrong, and all the sceptics who told you that no 'shooting that is a bombing' would happen are right.

In fact, internet conspiracy theorists are running at just about 0% accuracy - even though one would expect them to occasionally get something sort of nearly right, just by chance (as long as their predictions were of things that had any likelihood of happening, which this one was not).

I can't tell you not to frequent conspiracy sites, you can do what you please within the law. But as long as you do frequent them, I do urge you to try to develop a bit of critical thinking and a recognition that most of the posters on such sites are, sadly, mentally ill. The voices in their heads are not real, and neither are their predictions.

When I was 21, someone told me "if there is an activity that you do that creates anxiety in you, then stop doing that activity." I found it to be good advice.


If you are unable to stop the activity, then seek out a competent professional to help you.

Virtually everyone on this board hoped that no one would be shot in Michigan. You are not the only one that hoped that. So don't play that game with us. The only difference is that everyone else on this board had the same amount of hope on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and every other day of the year. It appears that you felt that there was a greater need to hope no innocents were harmed on Friday. Please correct me if I have misstated your position.

A random posting on the internet is not evidence.

I found a screencap of an imageboard post in which somebody makes a fairly specific prediction on June 21, 2013. He or she claims to have documents that talk about a false flag operation, planned to happen on September 06, 2013 in Saginaw, Michigan. It's supposedly to be followed by a media circus of propaganda and the eventual declaration of martial law and taking away of guns due to racial civil unrest caused by that propaganda.

So, how was your day?

At what point do you start feeling like you're wasting your time kinda sorta almost believing the various wild, anonymous claims being made on the internet?

Also, how do you feel about the saying "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"?

Excellent advice.

Too bad that,looking at his history of support of crackpot theories, the individual in question will probably not take it.
 
But look out for the man in the gabardine suit, he's a spy and his bowtie is really a camera.

This is funny because I'm looking across the pit at a a bunch of my buddies who all play fantasy football...

I was thinking about how conspiracy stuff can survive even the most obvious of counterfactuals. It's a neat trick, and I think it says something important about the human condition.
