DarthDickheadus:AmericanSith User ID: 1503533 United States 12/07/2012 06:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | seriously, sometimes I read stuff here (and have to some further research to understand more) and I am blown away because I feel like I am reading stuff written by some brilliant people. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28867210 And yeah, I see the BS too, I just skim by that. Well, seeing as that I am the resident bullshit artist, I'd have to say that the brilliance so often displayed at GLP is a reflection of a collective intellect that is curious about the hidden world that so many so often fail to see. For example, imagine if Tesla, Einstein, Faraday, Ghandi, Churchill, and others had had a place like GLP to share, debate, argue, and laugh. If our world leaders weren't such egomaniacs, they'd be here too. Yes, I vehemently disagree with the rabid animal rights activists, however, what better way to change the minds of people poisoned by the anthropomorphic bullshit of Disney and Pixar than comparing a squirrels death to that of a starving African baby? Plus, there's all this delicious doom! (GLP aka American Jedi) Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth. Kenny Powers If you steal the dreams of others long enough, sooner or later you'll end up in a nightmare. American Jedi Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29300892 Australia 12/07/2012 07:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its called paying attention in school as well as learning how to hustle and bang like the con artists that were busy skipping school.. Quoting: sinco No way, I was a mediocre student at best. I was a deep thinker / day dreamer then, and as I grew older I channelled it into reading alternative theories, but not so much into believing them, I like testing them and see if they stand up against my own belief system. School doesn't make you smarter. Thinking, reaching out to people, debating and reconciling your own ideas, , makes you smarter. |

Burt Gummer User ID: 7702124 United States 12/07/2012 07:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ^^^THIS^^^ For me as well but I don't necessarily think that it's the ultimate answer. I believe that there are many well informed people here that can sift through the BS and put the pieces together. It's more about having common sense and being able to filter out what doesn't make sense. ^^^ This....to both answers. ....and the understanding that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. Understanding how and why things work is important...especially in keeping other people (and governments) from manipulating you. Taking a step back for a second..... Much of the the public school system (and govt funded univeristies / colleges) in this country are a DELIBERATE disaster that produces mostly drones who do not have the skills to see what is really going on. They are never taught reasoning skills or to look beyond what is being displayed to them. They cannot see the propaganda even when the truth is obvious. Charter or private schools are generally the way to go. There are a few exceptions here and there with good teachers and curriculum, but most of the public education system it is a vast wasteland that does not teach the proper skills....and it also is a large component of why the USA is falling so far behind in everything.
