There is some edge of truth to a lot of the conspiracy theories... and i am taking the one about world banking system rather serious... also some others regarding US and EU governments. But you always have to remember that the conspiracy theorists can refer to extreme and often fictional facts in attempt to prove their point of view, so you need to refer to most of their propaganda with a touch of skepticism and do your own research before taking their words as a fact.

As for both of the Zeitgeist movies... i think the 1st one illustrated very well how misleading the conspiracy theorists may be (especially the 1st part of the movie - about the Christianity). I found the new Zietgeist movie to be much better done and quite interesting material to watch... especially where they are bashing the monetary system, since i have thought about this problem for many years now.

So the bottom line - i think these movies are good enough for watching and might give you something to think about, just don't take take stated facts there as indisputable truth straight away.

*THREE DAY OLD PUPPIES WILL KILL YOU* *cue the thumping heart beat style music.

*I CAN PUT UP SCARY PICTURES, MUAHAHAHAH! *

See, you can make anything sound "Scary"... please, get a life people, if this is your form of how you get educated, then you’ve become a “iti-net” (Person that is dumb enough to belive things post on non-credible internet sites, you do know there is a law that prevents news (REAL NEWS ORGANIZATIONS) from publishing lies, scary or misleading articals and headlines, THE INTERNET IS NOT (Unless you go to an acridited site like CNN, NBC, CBS, NEW YORK TIMES, BBC) NOT A VIABLE SOURCE…..

YES< I’M YELLING, BUT …. lol who cares...


Oh and I bet you visit this site each day?

DEBT MONEY

or go here to get a loan that you DON'T HAVE TO PAY BACK...

BANKS CREATE MONEY OUT OF NOTHING

Ha ha ha,

and I bet you belive in this:

We have no GOLD reserves, LOL!

Jut so you know without that "Excessive reserve" the modern world would not exist, so time travel back to 1450 and eat and sleep well. Back to the days PRIOR to the loan and reserves system. Don't like it, there are a few countries that can show you an example of how they live, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and when we see you get your head cut off on TV, I’ll just laugh my ass off, good luck with that!

The planet was here billions of years ago, we just happen to be the current "bus riders" on the planet at this time, 10 billion years from now, ... we’re all gone…. And the only thing they got right in that “movie” is yes, we’ll all fall do to our own doing, so know this, the world we know will fall, but until then , PARTY!!! W00t! LOL!

The funny thing about conspiracy theories is when people who want to believe in them so desperately try hard enough 2+2 can appear to equal 5. This is of course when you realize that you're actually supposed to have drawn a second loop under neath the second two being added to the first two because the mathematician that invented the simple law really had a whisker on the original notes suggesting that there's always a "hidden" curl to make the second two a three. Therefore, 2+2=5.

Sometimes I think we still benefit from even the most outlandish of conspiracy theories. They are usually a string of unrelated facts, held together with extremely illogical suppositions and laced with a flood of someone's overactive imagination.

But in that mosh pit of illogical theorizing, there is frequently the one or two unpulicized and overlooked facts that find the light of day because of the rantings of the inexplicable believers.

If it weren't for all the conspiracy threories about JFK's assassination, there would far less known about the CIA operations in Cuba, Marilyn Monroe's realtionship with JFk and few other tidbits about Dallas in the early 1960s. not that all of this is worth much, but some of what has been brought to light is valueable.

So I say "Rave On, you gullible loonies." The rantings of lunatics are sometimes the only voices of sanity, tortured by those who refuse to see reality as it is. The true challenge for us is distinguishing which is which.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.

no mate. i was just talking about people being hostile towards me in general.

fair enough. i see some people just like to believe what's in front of them. i like to think there's more to things always, i don't like to just sit here and be shat on by the rich, i actually would like it for my life to not be a waste of time.

i'm sorry if people feel differently, no need to be hostile tho, as this is just my opinion.

Everyone feels the same way. We all want to think there is more out there.
