So, how come you keep avoiding your incorrect claim that cloud seeding is top secret in the States?

Chaff isn't particles. Particles wouldn't work if they're too small.

Oh man, shut down on the radar claim.
P.S. I notice you totally avoided Unicinus' post showing you were wrong (again). Care to comment on that?

China publicized their cloud seeding efforts for the Olympics.
Do you have evidence of it being broadcast on the nightly Beijing weather forecast?

It seems like we all have our own definitions. "Chemtrails" isn't in the dictionary, you know?

You claimed it didnt happen openly in the states, and now you are changing the parameters of your definition.
Why not just admit you were wrong?

Are you just arguing semantics for the hell of it? From seeing many of your posts, one might definitely be lead to believe that..
Chaff may not "be" particles, but it most certainly is made of them. Just like contrails may not "be" chemtrails as defined by your conspiracy, but it most certainly is a trail of chemicals in the most literal of senses. i would ask you to prove that chaff is not made of particles, and also prove that condensation trails are not made up of chemicals.
Now, beyond all of that we have evidence that other types of chemicals have been dispersed into our atmosphere as well, right? No one denies cloud seeding, crop dusting, chemical experimentation (though not enough to cause damage!), etc. However, once it comes to the "CONSPIRACY," all of a sudden the idea becomes outlandish. i am just trying to make sense of such a viewpoint, as i can not find any rational reconciliation.
Honestly, im starting to think the "debunkers" are the real conspiracy theorists, where words that have been around since before jet engines are now being exclusively defined by some conspiracy that rests entirely on that very type of engine. "Debunking" is not seen to me as a activity, it is seen as a mindset. One that will approach literally everything beyond ones realm of current understanding as something that needs to be "debunked." No evidence will ever suffice, period, because of the mindset of the individual. The evidence is never perceived as a possible "mind-changer," but rather, is looked at as "how can it be debunked?" Not necessarily a "bad" thing in and of itself, but when we limit our own definitions to the very topic we are debunking, it is essentially shooting oneself in the foot. We can easily debunk anything once we make the terms personally subjective in a way that supports our present bias. In fact, that is the very basis behind debate as well as lawyers and courts in general. However, once science begins claiming absolutes instead of possibilities, it renders itself meaningless by the nature of that very claim. Though, obviously, i do expect more courtroom antics than actual scientific pursuit on this site!
i just cant understand how a conspiracy theory that debunkers find fraudulent is willingly given the authority to define terms that were around before its inception. Beyond that, using those very definitions to "debunk" the initial notion itself! It is really just the strangest thing to watch.. Could you perhaps explain your thought processes on this? Because simply put, the actions of the debunkers make zero sense to me (about as much as conspiracy defined chemical trails ), though im trying and most certainly curious. i think coming to a better understanding would help everyone on the topic (any topic, honestly), though obviously, everyone must be willing and open to it... i mean, you do know there are more than two sides to any one topic, right? Of course, that would make it significantly harder to "debunk." And of course, by saying anything like "well, you view it differently than the rest," we show our true colors quite clearly. Not so much interested in anything but argument against a viewpoint that is just as subjectively biased as the other.
Oh well, figured id try in yet a different way. Though, i expect most to "debunk" and argue whatever i say, as that is simply the nature of the mindset. In the end, it is the perspective itself that is of interest to me, so perhaps it is just off topic, but i dont see it more clearly than on a thread such as this. Minds were already made up before they went into this thread, right? So, attempting to insinuate that the "proper evidence" would sway ones opinion is disingenuous at best, especially considering the definitions of the terms used beyond the niche conspiracy. From where i see, both "sides" are just as enraptured in the conspiracy as the other.
edit: huh, interesting how as i was typing that, a strikingly similar conversation was happening in the thread.. its a conspiracy!edit on 11-6-2011 by sinohptik because: (no reason given)

The concern has nothing to do with it being a conspiracy. It has to do with taking a logical and balanced look at the evidence. Some people claim that there is a connection between solar activity and earthquakes. There is no conspiracy there, nor is there evidence to support it. I "debunk" that subject as well.
However, once it comes to the "CONSPIRACY," all of a sudden the idea becomes outlandish. i am just trying to make sense of such a viewpoint, as i can not find any rational reconciliation.
I have no idea what you're talking about. The persistent contrails seen today are the same as the persistent contrails seen almost 100 years ago.

Incorrect. Evidence convincing evidence can be furnished. A single, properly taken sample from a "chemtrail" would do it. You would think than in the more than 10 years that "chemtrails" have been researched, there would be some real evidence. Instead all there are are poorly conducted tests, subjective observations, and finger pointing at past actions and proposals for future activities. None of which can be used to logically or scientifically support the claim of a global scheme to do...something...by spraying....something.
No evidence will ever suffice, period, because of the mindset of the individual.
When was the last time the US government made an announcement that they were going to manipulate weather to make it sunny for a public event, ever?

Funny, since the rest of your post is an exercise in semantics:
