October Stundie Nominations

[apathoid]

First one! From atavisms (Stundie part bolded):

My opinion is not uninformed there are just many things I have no clue about.

Unintentional acknowledgment of the way things actually are FTW!

I just stumbled on that post accidentally. Naturally, my first instinct was to come here and see the lucky one was. I had hopes that maybe this one slipped through the cracks....I shoulda known better. Gotta get up pretty early in the morning to beat you guys.

From over in Religion & Philosophy (don't ask), there is this exchange.

From what I hear, on what you would probably consider conspiracy mongering radio, all the new people Obama has appointed to head whatever departments of government that oversee how medicine is run, are telling all the new people becoming doctors to not take the oath. The suggestion on these radio shows is that they want to save money by administering death instead of care, if you are not considered a productive part of society, just like the Nazi's.

At the risk of being repetitious, do you have a credible citation for that claim?

It is not all like that, this comes from even the more reputable shows, like Coast to Coast.

Reputable? I think Ethnikos' first description of "conspiracy mongering radio" was a bit more apt.

Over in the "Freeman Movement and England" thread, this poster demonstrates a failure to grasp the concept of historical sequence:

Yes, and the unelected monarchy of England invaded the USA and killed lots of Americans. It happened in the War of Independence. Did you forget that ?

Hahaha yeah. If you go to amazon.com and look at all the books talking about how 9/11 was an inside job, and then look at all the books that say it wasn't an inside job, you'll notice that the non-conspiracy books are given fewer stars. If you look up the 9/11 Commission Report it has 3/5 stars from 210 reviews. If you scroll to the lower end of that page you'll see TONS of written reviews giving the book 1 star. It's hilarious if you read them.

...We also have books like "Debunking 9/11 Myths" by Popular Mechanics it only has 3/5 stars, and it's opposing counterpart called "Debunking 9/11 Debunking" has 4/5 stars. If you read the reviews for David Icke's "Alice in Wonderland..." they constently gave it 5 stars.

So yeah based on the public response from people who actually look at the evidence and draw their conclusions, WAY more people just agree it was an inside job.

From the David Icke Forums, aka Stundie Central.

God, I hope not! She has enough trouble, what with Lizards for In-laws, and all, poor dear.

No, the monarchy of England are werewolves. I saw it in a documentary about a man in a blue police box.

Nominated, because it highlights the failed thinking of CT believers:

[...] the language of speculation (aka, what helps further truth and science)

 

[jaydeehess]

Nominating Tippit for fighting the good fight against narcissism:

Hmm, it explains why two 911 Conspiracy Deniers on the Blackvault have told me that I have a large ego due to my illustrating that they were wrong.

Welllll,,,, actually he only off on when it occured. England invaded the USA during the War of 1812-1814

Whenever it comes up that the head of state of England(or for that matter , Canada) is the Queen, an unelected person, I simply ask the nutbar to tell me the last time that he Queen, or any English Monarch moved against Parliament.
Oddly, I don't recall any response along those lines.

Oh, I know, but he seems to think the United States of America existed pre-1776. (And by the way we're still a little peeved over the Brits making Dolly Madison do all that work.)

Apparently this moon hoaxer on city-data.com (pronounce it like the Chinese restaurant owner on South Park) is unaware that The Onion is a spoof...

And newcomer Especially outdoes himself in this rant from page 4 of the thred that Horatius has a link to:



The mind truly boggles.

There's a marital spat in your Vatican English soup.

TITANIC HIGHT 175 FT

FLIGHT 175 HIT THE NORTH TOWER

TITANIC RIVETS USED = 3,000

9/11/2001 = 2,819 Total Death Toll

19 = ALLEGED HIJACKERS

19-3000= 2981 same numbers as 9/11 death toll

2819
2981

ALSO WHEN YOU USE ALL 8 NUMBERS YOU CAN ALMOST MAKE 9/11/2001

The titanic snapped in half before it sank to the bottom.

And Just think of the tops of both of the wtc towers as the body of the titanic.

JUST ANOTHER SMALL COINCIDENCE

Numerology is so 20th century.

9/11 Truth Movement Forums.

Are you allowed to post over there? They rejected me when I told them it was none of their business what other forums I posted to under what screen names.

 

[TjW]

Oh, it's gotten better, if weirder.
In the context of the Titanic disaster and 9/11 being related:

The 9/11 and the Titanic have one thing in common. Both incidents were engineered by the Society of Jesus.

ROFL The Pope did it!

The attacks were carried out by the US Military-Industrial Complex, US/Israeli Intelligence, and the US Newsmedia..

Apparently, the Israelis have a time machine.

That's just one giant parody forum, yes? Please say it's so.

3,000 rivets in the Titanic? No wonder it sank

9/11 Truth Movement Forums.

As a big fan of 'creative maths' myself, can you tell them they are just the matter of a factor of 10^3* out and see how they incorporate that?

[Horatius]

Okay, I'm not sure if this qualifies for a Stundie, as it's not really about CTs, but it's certainly in the Stundie tradition of absolutely stupid, self-debunking posts:

You don't have the right to benefit from your work. You have the right to create your work.

You heard it here first folks, your boss doesn't have to pay you, ever.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

From someone called "Anarcho-Capitalist" no less...

 

[R.Mackey]

Well, I have to object. One does not have the "right to profit," i.e. others may judge your work to be worthless, and if so, you're out of luck. Just because you work doesn't mean you get paid, unless you have a contract that states that you do.

One does, of course, have the right to seek profit by one's work.

It's a fine distinction, practically a semantic difference, sure.
