oh kiss off....and don't take things so seriously! Hey I heard it on the radio from someone I trust to pass on legit news, the joke's on me...I'm not familiar with the Onion! :naughty:

What were you're fooled too...did it bruise your ego? Chill bean....lighten up and have some fun.

I knew the letter was too good to be true...:roll1:

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

OK! I get you. Your right. It is satire! lol

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Thanks Karen, I wasn't familiar with the Onion....some of us have to learn the hard way!

No wonder it was so surreal...at first I thought someone at the station wrote it as a joke, did a google search pulled up the page with Rush's name and wooowooo! Figured he must've wrote it after a bottle of Jack Daniels and hit send before he could take it back!

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Malloy is not a journalist, he's a talk show host...there's a difference. I don't know if he was reading something passed on to him...or what. Trust me, Mike Malloy will hear from me, he's usually right on and is one of the few that operates with some integrity. He's not a right-wing-nut or anything like that...

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

im actually not going to lighten up, this is indicative of a serious problem of people regurgitating info and others reading it and doing the same.

granted, no its not a big deal in and of itself, but when i see this and how everyone started discussing this as fact including yourself AFTER the link to the onion being satire--it unnerved me that people do this and is indicative of the whole conspiracy world on the internet.

its just a small micro example of the macro problem and why 95% of people regurgitate the same grey/reptillian ****, the PTB dont have to work hard to misinform people because you readily do it yourself with zero fact checking and investigation. no wonder people love B and K's journalistic style of "if someone says it , its true" its because the bulk of you follow the same edict.

with this in mind logic would indicate about 95% of the conspiracy memes, and accepted truths are either much different or alltogther wrong, yet people (who are brainwashed by our culture to be non thinking repeaters anyway) will defend utter bull-s-h-i-t just because they "read" it or "heard" it.

i could come up with an elaborate scenario of D.U.M.Bs and my experience with other dimesnionals and if it was well written enough i bet the bulk of this forum would believe it, all i would have to do would be highly detailed and cough up some things ive read elswhere, and then suddenly everyone believes it and worse than that theyll spread the bulls-h-i-t that ive told them and then it spreads like wildfire.

your post is just a reminder for me that i shouldnt even be on these forums because the level of discernment is appallingly low.

You can STFU now Kent...

You take things way too seriously, I got it....did you see my other posts, stop poooing all over self and go clean up! :mfr_lol:

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh

good luck "ascending" starseed

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

No you shouldn't and you can take your attitude with you too...

You are not a very nice person, are you ClarkKent? :mad3: You seem to think you a bit better than others, so go. You take your self and life way too seriously...or negatively. Not sure, and I don't really care... but I didn't deserve your attack.

Bye, bye...

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Perhaps its time for you to ascend into heaven and then come back to us as Jesus. Humanity really needs to be saved right now and I think you are just the one to do it.

I'm starting an elect clark kent to be Jesus (Superman) campaign.

Personally I think The Hulk would be a good one to save the world but I think Ill write-in Hercules because I liked the cartoon when I was a kid.

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Hey Everyone...

Whoops! I'm sorry about my oversight on the Onion, but lets keep things in perspective and remember the story is about Rush Limbaugh. We're not talking about the collapse of the dollar, a major earthquake or plane crash here...Limbaugh falls in the category of "soft news". Hardly anything to take seriously and little more than water cooler gossip.

As an individual with a background in radio and journalism I know the importance of checking sources, if this were a "hard news" story I would've done more investigation to verify legitimacy. But common now...we're talking about a bloated, drug addled talk show host who's visceral hate has done more damage to this country than can ever be quantified.

I got a good laugh when I realized I'd been had...ouch! Unfortunately while I was trying to respond to others CK was taking this whole thing way off where it didn't need to go. Hope I didn't come across mean...that's not my nature.

He was annoying me with his pettiness, we all make mistakes and most everyone who's seen my previous posts should Know I operate with integrity and don't throw things out there that are misleading or in the category of disinfo - I get just as frustrated with that **** as everyone else.

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

I'm going to jump in here without judgment.

First of all, we're going to attract some agent provocateurs if we don't clean this up ourselves.

I've been bitten by some of these memes also. I think we all have. I do my research on all of these topics, but it's nearly impossible to be on the ball 100% of the time.

That said, we need to have a high bar of standard here. As it has been exposed, this topic obviously does not make the grade as it is a parody.

As I've heard Kerry say before quite a bit, as above, so below. The microcosm does represent the macrocosm. This is nearly 100% expressive of Camelot interviews. We have one person who unknowingly spreads some information. Then we begin the telephone game where one person spreads it to another and another until it seems like everyone is just a big mouth-breader.

This kind of cr** will be proliferated until someone raises their hand and calls bullsh**, but so many people will have already become emotionally invested in the story that they will fight even though they have no leg to stand on.

Let this thread stand here as an example to Avalon of how these things work. Let the people of Avalon see it in its light for what it is.

There are serious things going on in the world and we must be careful as to how we represent ourselves. When any of us speaks in the mainstream, we are already given the moniker of "crazy" or conspiracy theorist. If we are going to disseminate any message, it needs to be that of truth and for that very reason each of us must hold our contact to a much higher standard than we would when having a drink with some friends.

When I submit reports that I'm not sure about, I use language like "may be", "potentially", "as reported", etc. These are small things, but they make a huge difference. The difference being that of me saying I saw this happen, I witnessed it with my own eyes, I know it's real vs. I heard this report or this story and it seems compelling, but I really don't KNOW.

Let's stop the in-fighting and focus on some of the bigger issues that need attention.

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Can you tell us what forums you are going to because I want to be on the right ones too! Please tell us because I want the high level of discernment that you possess and Im willing to do anything to get it.
:sneaky2:

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

OK, that's enough please. Respect each other is the number one forum guideline.

It would be great to have a way to teach people to be more discerning. It is one thing as we learn as we age - we make mistakes and learn from them.

Some also learn that being kind will get you a lot further than ridicule.

Once you've been exposed to a piece from The Onion - you see the tipoff on the next one is it's so over the top - your brain goes - what? Is this This Onion?

What are some other tips on being more discerning?

Re: "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

This has been a very strange thread to read through just now. Was wondering if people had forgotten the meaning of the word 'parody' until I read that. Maybe not a bad idea though.

You know the end of that saying right?

I really don't mean to come off as condescending here, but did you read the whole thing? There's like 10 swears in it.

Indeed, this isn't a big deal in itself, but certainly indicative of a larger problem, and I'm with you all the way up until...........

Easy killer, don't forget what you wrote earlier in this very thread.

:thumb_yello: Agreed in full. I'm here less for info, and more to interact with people who are very kind and open minded, which may lead some to be a bit gullible, but hey sometimes it's tough to keep your mind just open enough that it doesn't completely spill out!


Word.

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Let us be kind to one another.

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

The Onion is a great site!

I cant believe I got sucked into this thread like that even though it said "Parody" at the very beginning!.

I think one thing we (I) have to do is just simply pay attention.:blush-anim-cl:

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

It didn't. I saw it too and the word Parody was somehow (?) added later.

--sjkted

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

This is somehow turning out to be a worthwhile exercise. Everything is here to be seen, unlike who knows what happens with the Camelot hot air (I mean whistle) blowers.

First post was made at 4:15AM today.

At 4:45AM, Karen mentions the Onion is a site for parodies.

At 4:53AM, the original post is edited by Karen.

Karen: did you edit the title of the thread?

--sjkted

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Yes, I did and I forgot to put the reason why the edit was done -
I was trying to get people to wake up to what was going on with that piece.

I come back and hour or two later and the whole deal has gone bonkers with people slinging insults at each other. Bill Ryan has given some input the last few weeks, to take this forum to a higher level, and we are going to see what we can roll out in the next few weeks, or who knows how long, it's really tough working with an all volunteer team.

What you do want the community of the future to look like? This thread?

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

Oh yes, you are right.

I really do need to pay more attention!

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

With all due respect, if Bill Ryan wants to take the forum to a higher level, he needs to give an adequate response to the Cliff High issue. There were some very real issues that have been brought up in respect to that that are reverberating around this forum and on the greater internet. I wrote him a very genuine response that I put quite a bit of thought into. I was respectful to him and I raised some important topics. Bill Ryan stopped responding on this forum shortly after I posted.

I realize he is likely very busy, but what I wrote and the comments from others were quite a bit more than fan mail. They deserve an adequate response, if Camelot and Avalon are to be taken seriously.

Quite frankly, this is not an edict that can be given from above. As above, so below.

--sjkted

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
 

I think people do come here to find real answers and interesting conversation.

This kind of thing will happen when people make mistakes when posting thread titles. Things can sometimes be confusing enough as it is.

However, I for one will consider the issue resolved and will endeavor to pay more attention in the future (and not stay up so late).
