thread- can you FORGIVE us: "Yes, we can and we will. We are starting a domino effect right now. We cannot get to anywhere good in the future until we let good of the old. As more and more people get excited about the future, that excitement will be contagious. With such a positive outlook, there will be no more room to hold on to what has happened in days past." |

As I stated above, it does happen from time to time. Everyone makes mistakes. I certainly make enough of them myself, to preclude my judging others. The question here is whether we learn from them or continue to repeat them. --sjkted |

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
i know the last part of what i said was harsh, but it was more me being mad at myself for giving more credence to info ive come across on the web, when my gut says people are easily taken in and spread untruths easily.
as small as this was it, it was a wake up call for me to realize that my gut was right-my angry tone was because after calling attention to the initial blunder, and karen CHANGING the header to "parody" and posting a link to the onion, it was STILL being discussed as legit, so yes i seemed like a nut waving my hands. didn mean to offend particular people but again like i said sadly this is indicative of the whole conspiracy world PC in particular, and reminded me that i should follow my instincts that 95% of what i read is way off and really not bother with forums and stick to the little research that i find interesting and not highly speculative realms such as this. again no offense was meant, but yes, like cliff high's problem with bill- this is the same arena and issue, and its a big one and people need to be responsible for the well intentioned actions. again the anger in my posts was really me mad at myself, i tried not to insult and name call, which is easy to do Last edited by clarkkent; 01-26-2010 at 11:47 AM. |

Re: Parody "I Don't Even Want To Be Alive Anymore" Rush Limbaugh
Lol Clark,
I can understand your exasperation. I start from the point of view that I know nothing and I can verify almost nothing. You may have read some of my own skepticism of posts here. Particularly the fear based ones. I got about a third of the way through the Rush L article before my own scanners started to go...'wait a minute', this can't be for real, surely?' I started to scroll down to add my two penneth, and then found that you had already done so. My feeling is that people are so much in need for something to believe in, outside of their own normal life, that it's all very exciting to want to believ in anything that is out of the ordinary. Of course , there must be a lot of truth in UFOs and all the other goings on. But the biggest truth I'm learning at Avalon is that for some, concentrating on the external far outweighs a desire to look to the internal. All a good story needs is a believable known fact and then something extraoridnary attached to it. In this case it's 1) R.L is an ***hole 2) He's seen the light and is asking for redemption. So my hot tip if anyone is looking for falsehoods, try this 1) find the believeable fact, 2) look for the stretch of your imagination - the pulling of your chain if you will. If an article has both of these in spades, likely it's a story...not the real thing. The truth is out there, and it's mostly more boring than fiction. Want to write me a good story of your day yesterday? K Last edited by Kulapops; 01-26-2010 at 11:59 AM. |

It seems like all you ever do if ridicule people on here for believing whatever they chose to believe. Don't you have anything better to do? |

im from the uk and as soon as i saw the onion link i thought hang on isnt that a satyrical paper with humerouse stories? i bought a copy off a guy in chicago airport, still have it upstairs. i often scan down to see links vefore investing time in reading posts. this one instance saved me considerable time pheew .
