Anyhow, Jim Jones was a programmed government tool. Oh come on. Emphasis on the "especially" I guess. Um, does the War on Terror ring a bell? I would say there are a lot of extremist Muslims in Gitmo who would argue that we took them seriously.

Gold is a lousy long term investment, banks are still lending money, food will be produced and grocery stores will continue to be well stocked. I talk to bankers on a regular basis. They all tell me they have money to lend. They are being more circumspect about lending because the economy is tight, but for anyone that can reasonable be expected to pay back a loan, they have money. We have money to lend. And we are still lending, though we may have become a little more cautious - and rightfully so.

I enjoy Alex Jones too, in moderation. I don't think he's a nut because he can back up his conclusions with facts that really can't be explained away by what the corporate media says. It's just that he sounds like he's going to burst a blood vessel and that gets me cranked up too. Oh, for heaven's sake. If you really think this, there's no hope for you. Ditto the rest of what was said. You don't know what you're talking about; people who do have shown you this. And yet you persist. Conspiracism is dangerous. It's willful ignorance. You think you have inside information, but qualified people can tell you that you're wrong, and you call them just sheep duped by the "corporate media." If structural engineers are wrong in their line of work, people die. People have not died from buildings built by those engineers--ie, all of them--who accept that 9/11 was Big Frickin' Planes plus Big Frickin' Fires collapsing, yet they use the same principles that let them see that to build other buildings. Oh, I know. You're going to say that I don't know what I'm talking about, that I'm being lied to by the mainstream media, or whatever snide little dig that you think improves your standing around here or makes you feel better at my expense. However, you are wrong. If it makes you feel better to be in a secret little world where you know better than everyone else, I suppose there's nothing I can do to fight your delusions. But I will stand at the ramparts of logic and evidence and fight to show others where you are wrong, and thank the Gods that there are people more informed even than I who stand there with me.

Nice response, gillian. You should save it as a macro and then you can follow me around the board and post it after everything I say. It'll save you a lot of time and effort.

Dead Hoosiers, that was uncalled for. If you don't want people to express their own opinions on what you say, don't make your statements on a public forum.

While big-time "terrorists" like Osama bin Laden (Tim Osman), can't be found by thousands of troops armed with the latest technology.

It just seemed like Dead Hoosiers was saying that Gillianren doesn't put any thought into her replies and I think Gillianren's replies are well thought-out.

But I thought it was a well thought out but very disrespectful and insulting post, that's all....but on the other hand, I see the sh*t flying in both directions, so from this point on I will stay out of it. Continue on...

The trick is to make your most insulting post the last one on the page, and make sure someone else posts right after you. That way the insulted party might never even see it.

re dh and gillian:
I was drafting a reply to DH's comments when I was called away. (stupid work. why must it interfere with my internet?) I would have said approximately the same thing, but without directiing personally. I agree with DH that G's comments were a bit much.
DH brings a viewpoint to this board that no one else brings. Well, maybe Rusty, but even DH thinks Rusty's theories are bit whack. Wrong or right, it's part of the intellectual check and balance here.
This is one of the most polite boards I frequent, which is amazing considering some of the stuff we bring up.
The IDEA of conspiracy thinking: back to that.

Osama bin Laden (Tim Osman) Just because I'm curious... Do you actually have evidence that Osama bin Laden ever went by the name Tim Osman, or are you basing your entire belief in this on a solitory story told by J. Orlin Grabbe with zero supporting evidence and which even truther sites have to admit that they can't in any way verify, even though they are happy to spread it all over the net verbatum?
