Doesn't make any difference....truncated, parsed, dissected, dismembered....whatever one does to the paragraph--it's contradictory, assumptive, and illogical nonsense. Throws into doubt your ability to arrive at any reasoned conclusion, and support said conclusion.

It does make a difference Penny. I am surprised that a man of words like you didn't recognize this. Like I said your entries are way off sensible meanings, you're inventing anything and using big words to "justify" your false statements. I make sensible conclusions, you just don't have the intelligence to discern that or you just railroad your statements because you ignore my own statements and in order to hide that rejection you use big words.

Okay, that's your thesis.....now support it. Go find me the clear, unequivocal support for the statement that all 1300+ entries by, I presume, skeptics, are rejections of anything regarding aliens.

The ball is in your court. You make the research and read the 1,300 entries by the skeptics, including yours. Don't lay everything on me.

Don't bother....I already know you can't. Over and over again, you make egregious errors of reasoning.....and it's a pity that you can't recognize them. Your statements are such that I get the impression you're responding to a thread that only you can read. Your comments have a "slightly askew from reality" feel to them......it's like, what the heck are you reading?

I'm the one instead who's getting the impression that you're somebody's dummy. You're just shooting your mouth off with senseless rhetorics. Haven't you focused on your own statements that are askew themselves? You and the mods may not like this but you have a problem in your head. You jump in here with your vague reasons and give the responsibility of researching this 1,300+ post forum to other people.

This is the only thread you ever post in? And you've never started a thread?

I have no interest in the other topics.

Whose "sock-puppet" are you?

[edit on 19-9-2008 by MrPenny]

And whose dummy are you for contributing in REJECTING the evidences and statements of other people who don't agree with you? How much are you being paid to do this? You made the mods delete my previous answers to you because it's the truth, right? I have endured so many insults in here yet I never sought the help of anybody like deleting other people's entries in here.

You've learned the Internet trick of saying anything you want.....without the need to actually be right. And when called on it....resorts to insults.

Again...whose sock-puppet are you?

What you've described above is a description of you, Penny, haven't you noticed that? I'm telling you, see a psychiatrist.

As far as skeptics are concerned NOTHING can convince them about aliens. There is no point for me in discussing anything with you.

If "ignorance is bliss"...you must be in hog heaven.

It's astonishing how you have chosen a path so obtuse, that you're willing to cast yourself in the part of a fool only to argue a complete dead end. That's fine--on the Internet there is no integrity....except for those who actually care.

Is this Lou? Lou? Is that you?

The only complete dead end I see is your mind. There must be something wrong with you for you cannot recognize a very obvious phenomenon. The aliens are under your nose yet you refuse to acknowledge that. To be a skeptic on these matters is ignorance. If we'd follow the skeptics we wouldn't be out of the Dark Ages, and this is your own hog heaven. Who and how much are you paid to be this stupid?

NOrun...i never said those pics were authentic...I said they are being used as proof to make people believe. To me they are just a bunch of crap photos that were made for the minds that can be easily swayed.
The late astronomer Carl Sagan had a wonderful formula for measuring the truthfulness of any belief. Extraordinary claims, he said, demand extraordinary evidence.

The fact that so many are willing to believe so many impossible things with so little evidence is not comforting.

I'm sorry but I have my own beliefs. It's true there are a lot of hoaxers and they must be ignored and it is up to you to sift the false from the truth. By the way, Dr. Carl Sagan also has this wonderful quote: "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

PEOPLE OUT THERE...it is SKEPTICS....not SCEPTICS. One is a for this forum...SKEPTIC....the other for your bathroom SCEPTIC.
