idiocracy in action..the future of america.

I agree that their reaction was over the top. They should have given you your meds and sent you on your way. Having said that you violated their belief their systems just as if I were to go into a bar in Berkeley and argue that obama was a muslim plant (agave, aloe, take your pick) and wanted to convert the US to islam I would be accosted and threatened. As Robert Anton Wilson said, both the left and the right are looney tunes. Well he didn't quite say that but you get the drift.

I was called a terrorist and threatened to have cops called on me for disturbing the peace. So here's the story, a few nights ago I was at a small local bar by myself just hanging out attempting to let go of some stress. The bar contained about 20 other patrons and there was no music playing. There was a small group of people at the actual bar talking about the economy and politics and things of that nature.
I listened but did not comment, until I heard 9/11 come up. I asked the gentleman who was speaking if he had ever heard of the 9/11 truth movement? He said no, I asked him if he wouldn't mind hearing some of my views on the subject, he agreed.

I proceeded to tell him that I believe the tragedy of 9/11 was carried out by the government as a false flag operation.

It should be noted that at no time did I ever engage in any type of threatening behavior or comments that would have given anybody any reason to call me a terrorist, I was polite and respectful at all times during this debate, too bad I didn't receive the same in return.

What I find most worrying about this is the 'terrorist' knee-jerk response.

Ok, so they may disagree with you. Ok, so they may even feel offended that you are challenging something they believe in.

But - to jump from that to labelling you a terrorist shows that the hysterical hype of the MSM has really worked on many. It's like they've been inclucated into a mob mentality.

What I would really love to see is for something to break which is so big it can't be ignored by the MSM, something which will shock people into realising that they have been seriously lied to, something which creates a chink of doubt in their blind faith.

i thinks so

what?

I too have wrongly being called a terrorist!

This reminds me of an incident I went through about two years ago on a chilly evening in October. I had been out at the pub (thats the bar for those of you who are stateside) with some chums, and gone back to one of my esteemed associates houses for an after hours beverage. Having consumed my fill of rum , I decided to walk along the sea front, back to my home. Its a gorgeous walk on a clear night, looking across the Thames Estuary to the lights of the far shore, moon glistening on the rolling tides, the sound of ropes and lines striking the masts of the small boats which moor near the near shore.
Now, at this point I feel it might be an idea to mention my appearance. Im five foot eleven inches tall, and at the time I was a skinny little rake of a chap. I have long brown hair, and a long pointy beard, which is copper under sunlight. On the night in question I was wearing an urban camo bandana, a thick moleskin coat and urban camo trousers. It may also be a good time to mention that I am a proud Celt. That is to say that my family hail from Wales, both my grandfathers are from there, and I have a bloodline which floats around the four corners of the British Isles, so Scots , Irish, Welsh, are all a big part of who I am.
In any case, I was walking home , minding my own business when a police car pulls up along side me, and the window rolls down. The policeman inside ordered me to stop (yes, I got pulled over while walking... gota love it) and turn to face his car. I did so. He then asked me if my name was *something unpronouncable in Arabic* . I told him that, no it wasnt, and told him my name. He asked me to step forward to the car and have a look at something. It was one of those most wanted posters, detailing the names and known aliases of wanted persons, along with thier photographs, and so on. The fella he though I was, was third from top of the page. The policeman asks me " Do you know any of these men?" . Of course, I didnt, and I politely informed the officer that I didnt know any of those gentlemen then I proceeded to ask him, why it is he had stopped me. He told me flat out "You look like a terrorist." I told him, that A) I am a Celt, and utterly bound to this land, and have a duty to uphold its laws and its people, and to prevent any and all threats to it , and that B) I was disgusted by his apparant inability to see that you ought to have a better reason for stopping someone other than "He looks like a terrorist", and if he didnt get the hell out of my sight, I would take his officer number, and make a complaint.

This makes me . How can they accuse you of being a terrorist? Isn't the Constitution all "freedom of press"?

So you walked into a bar insulted every one there in a round about way by implying they're morons for not believing what you do, and to top it off you do this in front of a active duty marine?

I wonder why on earth they reacted the way they did.......
