Dae,
Thank you for the wonderful reading. I will place these links next to all the other works of non-fiction in my collection like "Alice in Wonderland," "Moby Dick," and "Harry and the Hendersons" LOL
PS. You could have posted them all in one post
Thanks again, you have been quite entertaining.

Well, go to Africa and ask any Zulu about the Tokoloshe, and they almost certainly will know what you are talking about and describe the Bear.
Yeah people also tell stories of sasquatches, yetis, giant ground sloths, lochness monsters, quetzocotals, huge anacondas, goat sucking aliens, mothmen, etc, etc, etc.
Just because people in Africa (a continent with a predomantly tribal history and lifestyle, with lots of different religions, stories, etc, etc) tell stories about this big teddy bear, doesn't mean it exists.

First of all, the Sasquatch has been proven to exist quite extensively. Ask any genuine Cherokee about it and they will describe its entire history and origin in Atlantis.

I also would like to thank you for the wealth of interesting theories. I'll peruse them at my leisure.
What I want to know, and this will probably be my last addition to this thread because it's damn ridiculous, is why should I believe in this theory? Why should I believe this over my religion, over Area 51 theories, over the grey theories, over theories that aliens are insectoid in nature, over theories that there are no aliens, over theories that say sasquatch is an interdimensional being, over theories that the Illuminati began as a group of scientists and turned into a huge banking organization, over theories that Dick Cheny is a robot (thank you, National Inquirer), etc.
Do you catch my drift? There are a lot of theories out there, some are more nutzo than others (ahem... Dave Icke...) so why should I subscribe to this reptoid nonsense? You tell me because it's reality, and even if I don't accept it, that doesnt matter. Well I'll tell you that none of this is real, and you're following some crazy delusions, you're being led as some kind of sheep by people who are into writing a lot of books so people like you will buy them and they will make lots of money.
In the words of Agent Smith, "Why, Mr. Daelume? Why, why, why? Why do you persist?"

No offence intended (no really), but is there anything that you do NOT believe?

There is simply reason to believe it--because, well, it is reality. I know this for a fact, and I'll at least attempt to convey that to you.

Of course, like most other ignorant mind-controlled Westerners, you probably think that anything coming from an African must just be a 'tall tale' or an 'ethnic story'.
Why doesn't anyone just come out and admit that they're racist?
You would listen to Dan Rather spew his lies, but not to every Aboriginal person on Earth.

Your problem is that you are not sceptical enough about mainstream ideas.

Dae,
I don't think I'm being ignorant at all. In fact, I'm pretty positive I am denying ignorance by choosing not to believe fiction and searching for real proof.
I also don't think people were laughing when you mentioned other moons in the manner you perceive. Sure there are other things orbiting earth, but when you speak of moons people tend to think of something larger. These smaller asteroids which you call moons do exist, sure, but stating that they are inhabited by aliens requires a new degree of proof.
There is a sliding scale for proof here and it really is quite simple. The more sensational the claim the heavier the burden of proof required. It's a simple fact. Thus, when you make claims that are exceptionally sensational you are required by members to provide an exceptional amount of proof, beyond heresay, personal experience, and websites that are less than credible.

You have no idea how many people here would disagree with you. But please inform me as to what I believe that is a lie since you seem to know so much about me even though I do not believe I have ever spoken to you before.

You'd have to tell me what you believe about the world in general first. What is your belief regarding: Politics. The Bush Administration. Aliens. Genetics. The Foundation of Reality. Evolution. Paleontology. Anthropology.

How so? Have you seen these creatures or the effects of their actions on some part of your life?

So you claim to know me by making blanket statements about what I believe and then ask for all the my viewpoint on things that you have already condemed me on? You are a piece of work my friend. I suppose this nonsence explains why you are averaging: (112.2 messages per day)
