This is just stupid. We can go on forever saying "you're wrong and im right". Fact is, no one has all the answers, there is just too much information and most of it is false, and the only one(god) who some think has all the answers stopped talking to us 2000 years ago. Thats why you have to use your reason to discern between truth and lies.

Why are we even fighting and arguing while trying to prove how ignorant each of us is? If someone is ignorant, teach them, don't just tell them again and again how ignorant they are. Pass on your knowledge, to know someone is wrong and not teach them why, is just as ignorant.

I'm not saying flappy is right or wrong, but at least he is trying to convey a message, he is trying to pass on knowledge he thinks pertinent, either through writing, copy/paste or youtube videos. And all the responses from people like verk and ego are about his ignorance and how his definition of police state(just an example) is wrong. Who cares if he copy pasted? who cares if its on youtube? who cares about the definition of police state? Stop looking at the stupid details, stop focusing on irrelevant stuff and focus on the message itself. Im not saying believe what he says, im saying focus on the message, regardless of how much of a nut job you think someone is.

Its hard to talk to people these days because no one seems to give their true opinion on issues for fear of being ridiculed or being called ignorant or simply because what they say is not what they do(like most religious people). Well, if you got something to share, share, if you don't shut up, but attacking each other is just stupid, teaches us nothing and does not moves us forward. If you think someone is wrong, explain why you think that is wrong, don't just say its wrong and don't tell them they are wrong just because it contradicts what you you think you know, listen and analyze, then research and use a bit of reason before opening your mouth. This is a message board, you have time to research before posting your opinion, you don't need to post "you're wrong" just to post something, or because you don't like someone, or whatever reason and then get out.

Also, thinking someone is a nut job for talking about global enslavement or state police america, just to name a few, is also extremely ignorant, think about all the things we as a society have thought the same and then figured out it was actually true, like i don't know ummm, 9/11? Today most americans think it was an inside job(every poll shows it), 8 years ago though, it was the taliban and anyone who even hinted at it being an inside job was just an ignorant anti-american nut job.

When you hear someone talk, or you read an article or you watch a video and your first reaction is "nut job", research on the subject, you don't have to believe it from the get go, but you can research and come to your own conclusions. Don't just research one side of the argument though, you have to hear both sides and use your brain to decide what is what. I know that may be hard for some, and they rather just stick to what they know and everyone else is a nut job, but come on, just try.

This post is not aimed at anyone in specific, no need to reply. You don't need to reply to everything you're told, some things are just for listening and pondering about.
