This forum is full of cowards!!!

[Nucular]

Ooh oh oh I want to be namechecked by those... those... big... buffoons! Yeah, that oughta do it.


Anyway, I wish they'd admit to what country they're from and join here, if only to demonstrate that they are indeed allowed on. And I want to hear what they have to say.

I don't think believing 'official explanations' is the default position; it's just that most conspiracy theories are silly.

Also, I think 9/11 was probably MAS. The freefall physics sounds like just the sort of thing he'd dream up, if he was a dastardly terrorist.

This is hilarious, they're actually proud of the threads here they've inspired!

Apparently, they don't know they're being laughed at.

And Roxdog, since you're monitoring this, why don't you come over here and back up your boys Alek and Graham? They're getting killed here, they could sure use a genius like yourself to start whooping JREF butt. Maybe bring your "MIT engineer" bud along....

Hmm, the "Loose Change" thread only has 11,819 views, compared with such giants as 'The REAL Spawn of "The Thread That Will Not Die"!' at 144,398; "Top Ten List challenge" 214,578.

Even in this section they are hardly tops:

They're still a young forum, not used to large membership and lurker base. I think their high is Jref forum is full of cowards... at less than 3000.

Well, Bigfoot probably has better evidence in support of it.

...god, that's a phrase I never thought I'd have to utter about ANYTHING.

The "JREF Forum is full of cowards" thread over at the Loose Change Forum is apparently closed. I had just registered at the site and was going to post, but discovered that it had been moved "under the bridge" whatever that means. Their language over there was a little hard to understand for someone who is my age.

Also, it was closed with a threat to ban chipmonk stew, apparently only for asking questions and failing to be convinced. They must not like dissent over there.

 

[RandFan]

Yeah, I can't post either. I love how we are called cowards and then they close the thread.

What is with this whole us vs them BS. JREF isn't monolithic. I've debated a number of people on this forum.

And what the hell is with the sophomoric "you got owned". My kids all have MY Space and that is the way to win debates over there.

That is so highschool. Dear Ed, grow up folks.

An example of mature debate from loosechange.

Oh this one is grand. I tried to respond but no go. And they are complainging about not being able to register here. Makes you wonder, any way. Some Einstien who considers himself a skeptic posted the following.

This is not an inferno.

THIS IS AN INFERNO....

So, anyone catch the difference between the two besides the apparent difference in intensity?

Maybe they all go to school on the short bus...???

A night picture of a fire will look much more intense than one during the day.

Thanks Fowl, they missed it over there.

CMS,

With the condescending way you dismiss opinions out of hand I am under the impression your mind was made up prior to coming to us and have no intention of engaging in an honest, intelligent debate.

I am moving this thread to the 'under the bridge' forum. If you chose to continue your mission here, please do so in that forum.

If I find or hear of you in the general forum again without a change in opinion, I will be forced to ban you.

WOW! This from the people that were moaning that they couldn't register. And WE are cowards.

As if those who buy into the CT were not dismissive out of hand and didn't have their minds made up.

Yeah Rand, I tell you what, it must be one shakey faith in their CT to have to ban and suppress so much.

We don't ban for dissenting opinion - even when the dissenter's mind is made up before coming to this forum.

Something for those idiots to think about.

 

[RandFan]

Update, I can post now. I want to post a poll to see how many folks believe in woo-woo but I know it would go over like a lead balloon. Anything outside of the mainstream seems to be simply labeled troll. It wouldn't be scientific but I'll bet most there buy most conspiracy theories, psychics and other nonsense.

Alek, do you think I could post a poll?

 

[Orphia Nay]

Way to go, chipmonk stew! What's the opposite of you are pwned?

Oh, wait, isn't it you ro><><0rs or some such?

They are obviously unable to tolerate logical points of light and wish to remain in their paranoid blindfoldedness.

 

[articulett]

You may be familiar with one of the more archaic terms for the group, The Illuminati.

I like Illuminati...it has nice ring...

I've also heard it defined as the "new world order" and the Bildeberg group? Or am I mixing up my foil-headed friends? It is getting hard to keep my CTs in order.

I hope they're not onto our secret plan to osmotically implant information in their brains via the internet...we really must be more discreet--

And one of you posters made an area 51 reference--you know that's verboten. The place DOESNT EXIST. Area 50--I agree is there. Area 52--a definite maybe.

 

[articulett]

I know this is way off-topic, but an interesting page about what happens when a tall thing falls so that the top of the object would go faster than freefall can be found here.

Thanks Beleth....a great site. It helps me to "see" physics.

That's right. It's called S-4 Groom Lake nuffin else

Can anyone think of a conspiracy theory that turned out to be true or somewhat valid? It would help their cause if they had some sort of example to point to, because there are a lot of paranoid schizophrenics on the planet...and schizophrenia is not amenable to logic...

 

[articulett]

I used to believe in them until I started to price the damn things. I mean, the more inaccurate they are the more they cost! What the heck kind of weird crypto-capitalism is that?

Accuracy schmacuracy

You can get cheap plastic beachball globes. And www.earth.google.com is free.

I can't see how anyone can doubt that conspiracies do happen, I would class events such as Watergate as proof of this.

(ETA) And I suppose even events such as the "Roswell incident" - there was a conspiracy after that to prevent military secrets being exposed.
