This is a discussion and you are bringing nothing but scorn to the table .

Go in peace

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'inner peace'.

It is still a discussion with me trying to note that it should not be in this particular subsection of the ATS forums as it doesn't bring anything but conjecture based upon only opinion - perhaps a thread about the specifics of what changed you would be in order and allow for dissection of whatever info blew your mind.

Again with the peace thing there at the end...I don't get it.

No, disclosure will not come soon . We can produce all the evidence there is and TPTB will find a way to debunk it to protect themselves from losing face.

Your country is on it's knees ( economically speaking) and the only reason the U.S hasn't been wiped out by another superpower is because the rest of the world knows that America has First Strike capabilities. They can launch an attack and bring the world to its knees in seconds, thats how far advanced they are .

LOL

I see you are a creative writer on top of an ex- skeptic. Ex skeptics are the worst!

I've got money problems but this doesn't put me on my knees! Same goes for America. It will take a lot more than owing money to China to put this country "on it's knees." First strike capabilities? It's a heap more than that they are afraid of. Getting wiped off the map probably.
Who was going to wipe us out you think? Any guesses?

Disclosure will happen soon, within 2 years. Betting the farm.

I don't get it either. This is one very odd duck.

Or are you just attacking because he or she does not share the same beliefs as you?

I did, I was pointing out the language they were using. No skeptic, former or otherwise, would use such language.

You use the term "attacking" as a code-word to mean "any disagreement", employing it as a red-herring argument to distract from the conversation and any points you do not like. It will not work.

Certainly not, you are simply making a statement of personal belief. But I was not addressing you, rather the person who said asking for facts is trolling.

So do skeptics have a separate language? Did you all attend a school for skeptics?

But you made no points to the OP but attack. The truth is in your post.

I'm afraid your'e the last person to accuse anyone of trolling.

Jeez so far me and the poster are the only ones actually discussing the topic here!! everyone else is in serious flame and troll mode tonight!

I never 'bashed' any skeptics as you so eloquently put it.

You compared skeptics to "religious nuts" that is an attack, and hypocritical of you.

I must certainly did not. I said he was not a skeptic or a fence-sitter. He may not have believed but that is far different than being a skeptic. Once you are a skeptic, you never stop being a skeptic no matter your beliefs.

Look through this thread and see what 'cogent' arguments have been provided by skeptics (including yourself).

Such as Moriarity's responses? Such as mine pointing out the logical fallacies employed, demonstrating his professed skepticism was anything but?

I did not accuse anyone of trolling.

Only the simple and closed-minded think that disagreement is trolling; often the accusation of "trolling" is used by people such as yourself in order to shut down and distract from arguments they do not like.

You may be right about the flame and troll mode thing. however the topic isn't about the YouTube video - it wasn't even mentioned in the OP.

I suppose I'm more horses for courses just now.

Yes, there is a language skeptics use. And that language does not include the use the logical fallacies, such as that employed in the opening post.

Please, point out where I attacked him in my post.

edit on 5-5-2011 by WingedBull because: (no reason given)

I think you'll find I like this thread and gave the OP a S+F. It was you who joined in accusing the OP of never being a skeptic.

But anyway, as someone mentioned this thread is being ruined with our posts so I think we should call it a day for now.

So? Disagreement is not trolling.
