You said: "I didn't suggest we should be more like computers. I simply implied that if people understood logic, were rational, and had good analytic skills (all left brain functions....) then they could perhaps discern between conspiracy theories and real life. Now that would be cool."
It's derogatory...conspiracy theories...aren't real life?! I was saying that when is it not real life to question known criminals.
I honestly don't know why you're concerned how I responded. Maybe you can help me understand?





It occurs to me that you may not be able to tell the difference between a conspiracy theory and real life. Earlier, you called it 'going down the rabbit hole', I believe.

Well, thanks for that! Next time I need an answer to anything...I'll be sure to ask the all knowing god...JCL. Seriously? Such a crappy thing to say. If I'm not worthy of your intellect and intelligence...why do you keep coming back for more?
Sheesh, you've helped me see one thing that I can't prove to be factual.

*Can you prove that the Nazi's didn't use fluoride on the concentration camp prisoners????


"Disagreement....cleanse the thoughts of those who question....genocide". See what you did there? You just said, or at least suggested, that those who don't agree with you are like murderers.
*******************

NO! I said: "If you attempt to "cleanse" the thoughts and expressions of people that question ANYTHING...isn't that a form of genocide?"

You're taking my words out of context.





I don't want to debate what you call potential truths. I want to debate real truths. You know, like true ones. A complete lie is a 'potential truth' I suppose. It might be accidentally true. But why don't we just call it what it is, an unsubstantiated claim that doesn't pass the litmus test, to use a phrase from earlier in this thread.
***********************

You've missed the entire point of my thread...it's about lack of trust for those that "tell us the truth" and yet are found poisoning our water, food and air. The rabbit hole is an exercise in exploring various theories that run far and wide. What's hard to understand about that?


Of course conspiracy theorist is a derogatory term. But it is more polite that whack job or nut, two other phrases that have been used in this thread to describe your ideas.

I've already said I don't care what people call me. I'm not perfect. I have serious concerns about some of our most basic needs and how they are being abused with various chemicals.
