I bet your father (if he has passed or you are an orphan, all apologies, honestly) would beat the hell out of you if you talked to him like you do to many people here.
I never said I was better than anyone. That would be ego. This is simply what it is, an unnecessary social situation on ATS in general that leads to the harassment and ridicule of otherwise normal people.
I bet this will only anger you and I am expecting a standard response to what I have to say. I love pleasant surprises, but you don't see anything wrong with your behaviors. That is the problem, and my browbeating you will do nothing but confirm to you my own stupidity through your own world view and perspective.

No, people are not entitled to harass, bully, and torture others for their own amusement, and that is exactly what you are defending.

You don't realize how dangerous and unproductive that mentality is. If someone doesn't like what they see or hear, no one gave them permission to act in a psychotic fashion to get their jollies off at someone else's expense.

It is immoral for people to behave the way they do under the pretense that they can say whatever they want and can do whatever they want to silence that which doesn't suit them. Many are so blinded by their rage and arrogance, that you can literally QUOTE THEIR OWN WORDS and they will not even notice that they just said it, because they are too busy trying to attack you for attacking from their perspective.

People do not just have free license to say and do whatever they want without consequences. Most are just haters and have given in to their own antisocial desires, as they take everything they can from everyone else.

Try and see for yourself how they behave some time if you are willing to witness the S-Storm focused solely on yourself. There is only the illusion of free speech, and as long as stupid, rich, bullies run society, these antisocial, anti people mentalities will rule.

Like in the chemtrail threads, am I supposed to believe they are up there testing every contrail and suspicious tank on every plane?
Another perfect example is the norway lights.
What, were they actually there when the missle was fired and followed it and they know exactly for sure what happened?
we arent that dumb.
We reserve judgment,
So many things are not a conspiracy at all, but so many things also ring with some amount of truth.

ok, let us look at "chemtrails" - Where are the pictures of these planes with "suspicious" tanks? Where is a analysis of any contrail showing these supposed chemicals they are supposed to be spraying. Where are pictures of these planes getting filled with chemicals? - you make the claim about chemtrails, so how about backing that claim up with even one fact - other than "I say they are "chemtrails so they are"
Another perfect example is the norway lights.
What, were they actually there when the missle was fired and followed it and they know exactly for sure what happened?
So were the people claiming it was a UFO, HAARP, black hole, stargate etc etc. there? What evidence do they have to make their claim? A failed missile was launched at the time the trail was seen, other missile launches have produced a similiar pattern
we arent that dumb.
We reserve judgment,
except you do not reserve judgement, you state it was not a missile!
So many things are not a conspiracy at all, but so many things also ring with some amount of truth.
then why not post that truth? most here simply say it is a conspiracy, then post no facts at all to back that claim up.
Like the current demonstration of the "perpetual motion machine" the orbo. those who claim it works ignore the jury that investigated it and said it did not do what was claimed, they ignore that a battery is powering it, they ignore the video footage that shows the machines and batteries being replaced on the live feed - they have no evidence at all that it is working as claimed
And what happened to the Steorn demo talk on the 19/12/09c - funny how the live had no sound, then cut out!

dereks, are you able to see or not? The internet is teaming with pictures, videos, websites, analysis, and stories about chemtrails. Just open your eyes man! There is this really cool site on the Internet called GOOGLE! You can go there and type in words like "chemtrails" and you'll be amazed how much shows up. Then click on "images" in the upper part of the website, and you'll see lots of photos.
you would have been one of the ones calling his theories crackpot science, and refusing to read his papers with an open mind. You would have patted yourself on the back as to how smart you were, and you would have been 100% wrong!

I agree. I have recently been checking out the debate threads. Cool stuff.
You should attempt a debate thread with those who are putting out these
tactics.
More info here:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
It would be cool to show in the user signature, info or profile that reflect:
*Challenges made
*To whom
*Inclined
*Declined
*Link to debate (if it happens)
I think it could give more insight to a members integrity for the truth.
If a poster keeps posting "hoax" or "not possible".. blah blah blah
Then let it show that they are not capable even of defending or debating
their stance. And if they accept your challenge, then let the debate begin.
In the future, people can choose to just ignore posters like this, since they
may not have anything to logical to offer. Deny their ignorance and don't
even take their remarks into consideration.
I am not saying that this should reflect ones intelligence, but it could reflect
their willingness to participation in an intelligent discussion.

here we have someone who believes everything they see and read on the internet must be true, a real agent of ignorance!

There you go again, making things up. Pathetic really.

Of all the great inventions and discoveries of Nikola Tesla, nothing stood out with greater potential benefit to the whole of humanity than his discovery of Radiant Energy in 1889. The series of observations that led to the discovery of Radiant energy initially grew out of experiments that Tesla had conducted in an attempt to duplicate the results that Heinrich Hertz had claimed to achieve in affirming the existence of electromagnetic waves, the discovery of which Hertz announced in 1887.
While replicating Hertz's experiments, Tesla experimented with violently abrupt DC electrical discharges and discovered a new force in the process. Only after conducting exhaustive experimental trials for the next three years, did Tesla announce this stupendous discovery in a paper published in December, 1892, entitled "The Dissipation of Electricity".
Incredibly, most academicians of the day completely missed the mark in understanding the true significance of his paper. Noted scientists such as Sir Oliver Lodge, mistakenly thought that Tesla was referring to high frequency AC electricity in the operation of the Tesla Transformer, a huge blunder that remains to this day in the misnaming and misinterpretation of the Tesla Coil.
The transformer that Tesla referred to in the 1892 paper did not operate on magnetic/electric field induction created by alternating currents. It operated in an entirely new domain of physics based on abrupt discharges of electrostatic potentials and the subsequent release of kinetic Radiant Energy from the omnipresent ether.
Tesla was now operating under entirely new rules which he referred to as "dynamic" electro-static forces and had, by now, completely abandoned any further interest in the AC waveform.
The genesis of the Lodge misunderstanding, however, began a few years earlier with the publication of certain mathematical formulas by a brilliant Scotsman named James Clerk Maxwell.

I have a youtube video of a cellphone turning into a gremlin when placed in the microwave.
There you go again, making things up. Pathetic really.

This forum has hosted evolution debates many times. There are entire college courses just on evolution. Evolution has plenty of evidence. Just because you would prefer to keep your head in the sand, hiding pleasantly in ignorance doesn't mean that the evidence does not exist.
I myself have spent hours trying to convince people like yourself to get an education and it typically has no effect whatsoever. I suggest you begin with the question of why you must continue taking antibiotics even after you start feeling better. Ask your doctor or do a 2 minute google search.
You won't do this simple task however because you prefer to remain ignorant. That's your choice but I won't remain silent as you try to spread your ignorance to others.
If reading is too complicated for you, I suggest searching Google video for a PBS miniseries called "Evolution" - probably one of the best compilations I've seen. Perhaps you are the one with an "idea held dearly." Evolution is a fact and it is observable in real time. In the long term, it is recorded in our genetics and the fossil record. Almost every bite of food you've ever eaten has likely been produced as a result of selective breeding and agricultural engineering (manmade evolution that is driven by our own demands). To argue against evolution while simultaneously reaping the benefits of man's harnessing of its power makes you nothing less than a hypocrite.
