once again, i understand such a statement. To display it, constantly, as if its what you are most proud of.. well thats should be disturbing. You would say the same if I had a sig that portrayed something negative.

Have you ever right clicked on a word that you typed, because it is underlined in red?
If you had tried it you would find that there is a list of suggestions (to correct your misspelling)
This is preciously the reason I am here. I know these threads don't have all the answers, but what I do find is that the information allows for educated choice on any subject. If I knew it all I would bid everyone goodbye also.

So , what are you suggesting ? You would rather that truthers get together and make thousands of posts where they all agree with each other ? Not allowing the introduction of opposing argument ?
Just how would that equate to 'investigative research' if you only look at what you want to see ?
And , before any of you go off on a tangent , I look at both sides of an argument . I used to be a truther myself , so don't start with the crap about me being a 'blind follower' of the OS .
That is the whole point of having debates , to present your position and have your opponent to counter with why he feels your position is lacking . There is no such thing as a one-sided debate .
With no input from OSers , you guys would just be setting around agreeing with each other . Please explain to me how you feel that would help your cause ?
Science doesn't work that way . If it did , we would all still be agreeing that the best way to provide supper , would be for two or three of us to chase down the target and club it to death with sticks and rocks .
Criticism is part of the program here folks . Like it or not , that's how it works .
Repeating things that have been proven to be false , doesn't help you in the least bit . If and when any of you choose to do this , be assured that someone will correct you on it .
Don't take it personal , it is the art of science .
Originally posted by MyendicaI'm suggesting, that like-minded people can have an inteligent discussion, and denounce each others points and evidence as they see it. They don't need people who already have the answer in the OS to interupt said discussion, thus not allowing them to converse and work out their own inconsistancies.

Unfortunately that is not what I have seen here when truthers are the ones posting on the threads. Here is a summary of what I see:
Man1: I have a conspiracy idea!
Man2: Wow, awesome, S&F!
Man3: Super! I like!
Man4: This makes OSers look dumb!
Man5: No way! This is crazy! My mind is so blown!
Man6: I wish I'd seen this earlier!
then, someone whose views parallel the OS comes on:
NewMan1: Wait, this doesn't look right.
Man1: You're blind if you can't see it.
NewMan1: No, I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.
Man3: You OSers are all the same, spreading disinfo.
NewMan1: I'm just saying what I see there, no conspiracy.
Man1-6: You're wrong, I don't care what you say.
and bicker bicker bicker bicker.
The simple fact is, you won't get intelligent discussion and thought no matter what you get.
Originally posted by MyendicaBut if you are right, with the OS, than you don't need to look for answers. You dont need to converse about it. You don't need to prove us wrong. If I knew something, I wouldn't spend my time telling people who thought differently, that they are wrong.

Thing is, there'd be no point for OSers to just chat amongst themselves. All they'd talk about is how they agree on how things happened, maybe refine a few minor details. A developed thread needs both sides posting to be a productive one.
