LOLOL... I hope your son grows up to have better sense than his daddy.
You continue to evade demonstrating the wildlife enumeration literature showed evidence in favor of bigfoot. But you made that claim.
I'm not falling for the act. It's a little better than
bigfootbookman's, but it is an act a lot of the 'footers play, pretending to be open-minded and seeing "both sides".
oopise! I see
Volsquatch already chastised people falling for the act. Right. The fun is the power in manipulating other people. The more you get them to bend over backwards, begging you at your feet to be reasonable, groveling - the more power you feel.
The important thing about this act is to feed your targets just enough phony "progress" to keep them on the hook before they finally get sick of you.
Every day of the week we are out in this stuff because we live here. About twenty yards to the left is a dead moose carcass. The two-year-old understands why he's dead but the one-year old is not mature enough yet.
My wife and I spoke about the things so important to us while at this spot, and one of the most important of them was how lies and deceptive behavior are copied by the children and handed down through the generations.
The irony of your ad-hom is that we don't lie to our children. We do not manipulate with the cheery face and feigned light humor masking the ugly deception and malicious intent underneath. Learning how to toy with people is indeed something you learn as a child, and something you pass on through the generations: not a belief in bigfoot, but the dark art of manipulation.
Look how the google fingers suddenly work when the need arises to defend bigfoot: you can find the year the patent is made on landscape ties. bully for you. What it proves is exactly that
Volsquatch said: alternately playing dumb and being intelligent according to the manipulative need.
I look at these children and think how awful it is to turn them into people that smile at your face while they are underneath full of hate. See the smiley in the quote above? That is what manipulative people learn to do: show the smiling face as a lie to cover their true intentions.
And it seems so harmless - oh, it's just a bigfoot story. But what the literature tells us is that this isn't some isolated thing that happened once in your childhood. This is a trade you learned to perfect by watching it practiced by the adults. And it turns the child into a copy of the parents.
I congratulate you on being pretty cunning about the act - a lot of people here have fallen for it. But it is a pretty hollow victory if you have children. Because just as your parents passed this "gift" on to you - that gift will have also been passed on to your children. Not belief in bigfoot: the gift of toying with people, and feeling the power in manipulating them through deception.
That is the universal character trait of all that is woo: it cannot be defended by anything but manipulative, deceptive argumentation. So there is a self-selection bias in who will practice defense of woo. It is something I never got proficient at, and neither will my children.
