I agree with you that most are fakes but I have seen sometime ago a documentary that examined plasma balls (freak weather phenomena) and even showed footage of one doing some artwork on a crop. This phenomena is know and to some point replicable in the lab...
See Ball lightning @ wikipedia
So to me there is no intelligent design behind the crop circles beyond the humans and simple forces of nature it is interesting that the natural ones generate geometric shapes but geometry is at the core found all over natures creations from the shell of snail to the distribution of galaxies...
Even when you looks at a mirror you should be reminded to marvel at the simple fact regarding symmetry...

I have already said in the OP that YES.. SOME of the circles are made by the circle makers!
I EVEN GAVE YOU A LINK!
But you obviously did not reserve any judgement before watching, and you clearly don't want to change your narrow-minded view point. The fact of the matter is that there are hundreds of thousands of these circles all around the globe - did the circle-makers make all of them?
I HIGHLY DOUBT IT - People just don't have the time, resources or money necessary to continuously make these all year round.
Try expanding your own mind and not just agree with what the majority may think.edit on 3/4/2012 by Kluute because: (no reason given)
Those done by pranksters don't even come near the detailed designs of the true circles and as I keep saying - prove it!
The guy standing in the snow who supposedly did the circles demonstrated - why isn't he filmed actually completing one?

Another interesting aspect of the video is that the one element that I see that's missing from the discussion of the crop circles is that they are not circles at all, but spheres. In hyperspace, a two-dimensional circle becomes a three-dimensional sphere. These crop formations may not be intended to be looked upon as mere 2D depictions on a 2D canvas, but full, three-dimensional (hyper-dimensional) constructs in hyperspace. I think they take on a completely different meaning and the 3D makes them mechanically functional there.
Spirograph is a geometric drawing toy that produces mathematical curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. The term has also been used to describe a variety of software applications that display similar curves, and applied to the class of curves that can be produced with the drawing equipment (so in this sense it may be regarded as a synonym of hypotrochoid). The name is a registered trademark of Hasbro, Inc.

Your attempt to pigeon hole people who know that all the circles are man made will not change any ones mind.
It amazes me that people long for these designs to be made by aliens. The idea that hyper advanced alien races cross the vast emptiness of space to arrive at our planet and then try to communicate by flattening grass in cryptic nonsense patterns always close to a road, at night in fields where there are track lines passing though every connected part of the design while no ones watching in the summer months when its warm enough to be out all night messing about in fields...
Aliens only want to send cryptic communications at winter time??
It doesnt matter how much you try to find reasons for these patterns not being man made they are simply fake. There is no friendly alien race trying to warn us of our impending destruction by our own hands its just a few guys having a laugh at the expense of anyone who will fall for their jokes.
Even when the people who fakes these things come forward and admit to them theres still people out there who dont believe them..humans have an inbuilt need to find order in patterns and are susceptible to finding links that dont actually exist.

So because you say they are fake then that means they ALL are?!
