Not everything is a conspiracy theory. But I like to discuss things that are. Like I said in another thread, it would be great for all involved if 99% of the conspiratorial things that I question turn out to be wrong.

I didn't mean it to be confrontational or judgmental. I'm glad you hope that you're wrong about it all. Discussing things is one thing but I feel a lot of people, sometimes yourself, take things WAY too far into left field with some of these theories of what is really going down. I'm not that much of a sheep either. I'm fully aware of the kind of dirty awful things governments/organizations, ours to the umpteenth degree, have done in the past. I just think it's unhealthy to think there's always a man behind the curtain trying to f*ck people.

Not to mention that countless people I've met who claim the government is lying to us and to not believe what you read. I ask them where they came to that conclusion and they point to Youtube and a user named frostedflakes89

Guy with hockey mask and a combover: Yo.

Yeah, no, he's definitely still there.

Fluoride is extremely bad for you, and it is added to most public water supplies. It has zero health benefits, which leads many to conclude that it is added for nefarious reasons.

Your roommate is gonna shit his pants when he learns about atrazine.

Omg, Merit is that one dentist out of every ten that disapproves every product.

Cut him some slack. It's actually always 4 out of 5.

He's always the first one to offer another theory on something even when it's pretty cut and dry what happened. I think it's an urge to be different than others. My friend is a great musician and a decent artist. He's always trying to be unique and throw out a perspective that he can really only call his own. That and an overwhelming urge to be correct all the time. It's almost like an inferiority complex.

If you have to constantly stand up and shout "I'm special", well, how special are you?

It's also out of fear of a chaotic and uncontrollable world.
It's way more calming to think that everything bad happens because of THEM than admitting that the world is ****ed up and complex and the reason for its ****tiness is often the sum of everyone's individual ****tiness and there's not a lot we can do about it.

Gulf of Tonkin

Operation Northwoods

Watergate

Pedogate

9/11

MK ULTRA

Roswell

Operation LAC


These events fail to ingrain trust in the U.S. federal government.

As far as I know, fluoride is only harmful in concentrations so high you will only ever reach those level if you live in an industrially fluoride contaminated environment.

I know various places in Africa have problems with too high levels in ground water, which can potentially cause some side effects like brittle bones or something. Long time since I read about it, so you should Google the details for yourself.

If both of these statements were true (most water supplies, extremely bad for you), why aren't people dropping like flies?

It builds up in the body until it leads to a toxic amount. You also have the incremental damage that it does to the brain.

Some of those are legit, some are conspiratard bull****.
But sure, **** the government. Still doesn't mean every schizophrenic blowhard's unfounded ramblings must be true.

I like it as well. I found a strategy guide for MK Ultimate walking home from school in the 90s, and that's not code for I stole it cause I actually did find it... I think, and I read that **** way more than I ever played the game. Good game though.

Shoot Trump in the head and eat his brains like Mayhem. That's how I feel about it.

Frownland 09-07-2018 03:22 PM

They ate the brains? I thought they took skull bits and made friendship bracelets or something dorky like that.

MicShazam 09-07-2018 03:23 PM

I wonder if brains even taste good. Isn't it just fat?

Frownland 09-07-2018 03:27 PM

Cow brains are pretty delicious. It has to be eaten with some kinda veg to cut the fat though.

MicShazam 09-07-2018 03:30 PM

I'm not super into the idea, but maybe I'll get the chance if I ever visit a moderately fancy restaurant. Gotta try everything once, right?

Yup they cooked and ate Dead's brain. Allegedly.

Doesn't even need to be fancy. Just gitchu a cabeza burrito at a Mexican place. Though I imagine the ones you have out there are a bit different from SD's.

I think it's a really uncommon thing to find in Danish restaurants. I Googled a bit, just out of curiosity. Confirmed one place that had "taco Cabeza", but that was with cow tongue. Never had that either, but it's just a muscle, so I imagine it tasting much like regular cow meat or maybe the heart would.

I just glanced at the thread name and can't remember it got from there to me talking about how what part of a cow would taste like.

Frownland 09-07-2018 03:49 PM

That's just how it goes sometimes. Cabeza is the whole head, so it's about 50% brain.
