Btw, there's no way for me to know if youy're military or a republican cheeleader ired and paied for by the republican party, but i know that you spend way to much time and energy trying to debunk the truth. If you don't believe in a conspiracy, why don't you go and do something you like? You obviously don't like conspiracies and you obviously rather trust your government. So why don't you go on with your life and do something you really like?

You're doing this full time danmet! You think we wouldn't figure it out? Really?
:roll:

Well, since I've gone over my reasons for being here several times and several of those times were directly to address you, I am not going to bother anymore as you obviously either can't comprehend what I write or wish to ignore it to continue your personal attacks against me.

And it doesn't really take all that much time or energy to debunk your supposed "truths". You can't come up with anything new, so basically I am just restating the real, proveable truth over and over again as you regurgitate the same old tired lies. I have more than enough time to debunk your silly theories AND do my full time job. ;-) Life is good!

Why should I believe anything I can't see with my own eyes. Why should I believe what the Associated press is telling me. How do I know for 100%, that I'm not being lied to.

Have you ever read Plato's allegory of the cave?

Plato: The Allegory of the Cave, from The Republic


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plato, the most creative and influential of Socrates' disciples, wrote dialogues, in which he frequently used the figure of Socrates to espouse his own (Plato's) full-fledged philosophy. In "The Republic," Plato sums up his views in an image of ignorant humanity, trapped in the depths and not even aware of its own limited perspective. The rare individual escapes the limitations of that cave and, through a long, tortuous intellectual journey, discovers a higher realm, a true reality, with a final, almost mystical awareness of Goodness as the origin of everything that exists. Such a person is then the best equipped to govern in society, having a knowledge of what is ultimately most worthwhile in life and not just a knowledge of techniques; but that person will frequently be misunderstood by those ordinary folks back in the cave who haven't shared in the intellectual insight. If he were living today, Plato might replace his rather awkward cave metaphor with a movie theater, with the projector replacing the fire, the film replacing the objects which cast shadows, the shadows on the cave wall with the projected movie on the screen, and the echo with the loudspeakers behind the screen. The essential point is that the prisoners in the cave are not seeing reality, but only a shadowy representation of it. The importance of the allegory lies in Plato's belief that there are invisible truths lying under the apparent surface of things which only the most enlightened can grasp. Used to the world of illusion in the cave, the prisoners at first resist enlightenment, as students resist education. But those who can achieve enlightenment deserve to be the leaders and rulers of all the rest. At the end of the passage, Plato expresses another of his favorite ideas: that education is not a process of putting knowledge into empty minds, but of making people realize that which they already know. This notion that truth is somehow embedded in our minds was also powerfully influential for many centuries.

<-----------Points to the waving southern cross tucked under the Union Jack. Nup no republican cheer leaders here. Besides it is still almost winter and I have not shaved my legs... So I aint puting that outfit on for anyone

but i know that you spend way to much time and energy trying to debunk the truth. If you don't believe in a conspiracy, why don't you go and do something you like?

I dont enjoy anything more than defending the truth

You obviously don't like conspiracies and you obviously rather trust your government.

Not my government - points to that pesky flag again

So why don't you go on with your life and do something you really like?

Repeat phrase - points to above for repeat answer.

You're doing this full time danmet! You think we wouldn't figure it out? Really?
