This topic and for that matter the entire site is almost suffering from a variant of the stockholm syndrome.
If you are interesting in group dynamics and how people influence others, you should read Moscovici's work on this matter. He's one of the pioneers in his field, in social psychology.
studies by Moscovici and others appear to demonstrate that the minority can influence the majority if:
* the minority disrupts the established norm and produces doubt and uncertainty in the mind of the majority
* the minority makes itself visible, focuses attention on itself
* the minority shows that there is an alternative, coherent point of view
* the minority demonstrates certainty, confidence and commitment to this point of view
* the minority signals that it will not move or compromise
* the minority implies that the only solution to restore social stability and cognitive coherence is for the majority to shift towards the minority
It's true.. it's fascinating to watch so many people in such poor state of mind and the inability to filter out the truth from fiction. But then the flip side is that, those who are paranoid and have weapons on them, are people we should all fear... they could be your neighbor who'll go postal any minute now. They need very little to blow up and use anything as an excuse to go out and murder or get rid of their pent up emotions of insecurities and disillusioned realities.
Sad really...
But this place is, if nothing else a great study.
OMG - hadn't even thought of that - thank you very much for pointing this out...appreciate the heads up....Was wondering why certain people were waxing so hysterical with their accusations....makes much more sense to me now.....
It's all fake and we know it .. The op may not know it if he is mentally challenged ..

I see a general pattern in this thread..... quite a few saying off-topic things, talking to the OP in a harsh way, making posts that contribute little or nothing to the thread, repititious and disruptive. Many of those recently joined...... some of them the day or day after the OP's post was made here in the public forum. Coincidence?

Posts like that are EXACTLY what I am talking about.Was there need for that sarcastic comment?Why are you people letting emotions cloud logical judgement and maturity?

We've seen your link multiple times, I think most people here are just trying to avoid the Christian agenda blatently associated with that site, and you as well. This thread is about aliens, not Jesus. And I think it's terrible to take advantage of a time when someone is scared and unsure, such as an alien encounter, and try to convert them using fear.
You are using one non-credible guy who IS TRYING TO SELL STUFF as your proof, over and over. Now stop advertising that site over and over and over. Please.
