just curious

Posts: 140

this is my first post here in quite some time. I still hold all the ideals I held when i was here before.
I am just frustrated. I got into a political debate on another forum and i brought up 9-11. my suggestions were laughed at by moronic sheep that dont even have the balls to CONSIDER that they might be wrong about the government. this is a fact of life for people like us and one that i accepted long ago, but just today I realize that we will never change the majority. people fear change. and because of that we as a species are doomed. nobody can escape it and really i am envious of sheep as ignorance really is bliss. but just like we cant change how those people think, we are cursed to not be able to revert to that simple state of mind. so, what is the point?

Self assess.

We're all smart, and all stupid in our own ways. For example, I would never use "just curious" as a title of a thread. Razz

-It's an eyesore for me, but that's because I've spent a lot more time on forums, and you've likewise spent more time on 9/11 stuff.

Forums are moderated, and appeal to differing people. It's kinda like bars.. we have sports bars, bars that older people favor, bars that have loud music, etc. They all have drinkers, but appeal to different crowds. We can't base the general consensus of a nation off of one moderated internet forum.

Do you consider you may be wrong? Most people using the term "sheep" are worse than the people they're finger pointing at. This isn't to say you are, but it's something to always be mindful of.

There's a great book that I should brush up on called:

How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie

Here's a shortened condensed:

Anyone frustrated with trying to influence people should read this book.

i consider that some of the evidence is over exaggerated but there is just too much of it for me to accept what uncle sam says happened.

Many people don't give the time to look past controlled opposition. It's the same way in health / alternative health. In this case, they saw through the controlled opposition and are done looking I presume.
