Fixed.

That wasnt very nice.

[Triball]

OK, so what's it about?

[habbywall]

Scroll to the bottom. Look at the similar threads. It's the exact same title only Shaun correctly spelled ZeitGeist. Use the search feature.
Or just click the link I posted.

[thayr]

Nah, I see where he's coming from. I'm a lurker anyway who doesn't use the search function.

[unifreak7]

I really liked that video too. I like this post also, i'm glad a different thread got to the top. I think more people should look into this.

I liked the movie too, not so much the beginning, cause there were facts easily going against what they were saying, and also from doing some searches, some of those gods arent even on the internet, so I could learn anything more about them. But, that is besides the point, as I am not here to have my beliefs questioned, nor will I question yours.

I really enjoyed the 9/11 part, that was the most interesting for me. The ending was somewhat scary really.

[Jerrick]

...

Have you watched it, all of it?

[monkeyman]

Yeah, I watched it the first time Shaun posted it. I also watched that other movie (not Loose Change) that he linked to one time, and I've seen Loose Change.

That said, I still don't believe any of it, and I think it's completely freakin' ridiculous. And sadly, I'll still be called a closed-minded, authority-worshiping idiot Republican from Texas by almost everyone who believes it.

I didn't post that cartoon because I think the theories are absurd. I posted it because of what it says about conspiracy theorists' complete lack of reasoning. No matter what you say, or any evidence you bring to the table, it's just dismissed, normally with lovely ad hominem arguments. To quote from a PM conversation with Shaun, the most outspoken theorist on the forums:

Sorry it took so long for me to long at who I was speaking with. You're from Texas, i guess that's enough said right there.
Marry to your cousin and everything actually is alabama and the southern states. Texas is the most republican state I can think of, along with some of the most vain (Everything is bigger in texas). There are a lot of houses with wheels down here for sure, I wouldn't agrue with that, fortunently mine is not one of them. And I was alittle bit serious. Bush came from that state, now steriotyping is wrong (though we only have like 4 black people living in this town it's hard to really get to know other races) but Bush is from texas, and he is a pretty big influence of your state, being the president and everything.

Does any of that sound like someone who's confident in their position? Why the heck should I put any stock in what someone says if they have to resort to stereotypes to defend themselves?

[Jerrick]

Haha, the quotes made me laugh.

I was just wondering though, because some stuff in that movie was pretty convincing. Some of the stuff could be debated easily, but other stuff in there were just so clearly shown, no defense could prove it wrong really.

Then again, I am not completely on one side or the other, I find both sides fo the story interesting, and listening to both gives me the best understanding.

[The UniSLAB]

yeah that unifreak guys is a total douche bag. However is sounds like you said he had a lot of mobile homes where he lived and was married to his cousin. So who's using stereotypes I must ask? Both perhaps?

No, I was trying to make a point, not actually thinking he lived in a mobile home with his cousin.

Holy crap, dude. Are you serious? Are you honestly trying to say that I'm completely pro-America because I live in Texas? What the hell is wrong with you? You live in South Dakota, are you married to your cousin? Does your house have wheels?

you could change a few words om that soliloquy and it applies to religion.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

religion isn't evil.
It can be interpreted in evil ways though.

[Det-riot]

religion is, in my opinion, just a guide for morals backed up with lies.

we created god long before he created us.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

Hahaha. God has almost nothing to do with religion.
S/he can be a symbol which is what she is for me, but religion is supposed to be a way to heal hurts and spread love.

But it gets mis-inturpreted (sp) so it's used for the exact opposite.

[unifreak7.2]

2bites of abby a day keeps your family doctor at bay!

[mawesome]

You could also nail him to a wall. That'd keep him at bay.

Or at least in his garage.

[unifreak7.2]
