They believe that the devil isnt allowed to lead some overt conquest of Earth so he takes a more subtle route and grabs you in ways you wouldn't anticipate (Somehow, God is ok with this I guess? I mean he's omniscient so he must know)

Also I'm not sure if it's the same in some EU countries but in at least some parts of Canada dental service isn't covered unless it's an "emergency". Edit: Also many poorer countries use more flouride in their toothpase. We have less of it in ours because it's designed assuming you're going to get a certain amount just by brushing with the tap water. In developing countries where this isn't the case many toothpaste brands will jack up the amount of flouride. So we're really consuming the same amount of flouride all over the world.

Vorpal Cat posted:Also because fluorides are a naturally occurring compound some places in the US not only do they not need to add any fluoride to the water, they actually have to remove excess fluoride from the water. At least part of the idea to use Fluoride came about because some rural Appalachians had really lovely looking teeth but they were reasonably healthy medically speaking. They realized it was because their water had a shitload of fluoride in it.

Remember all the news media reporting from the empty seat on the flight he was supposed to be on to... Venezuela I think? Yeah he originally wanted to go to Iceland. Understandable, but obviously they were not gonna deal with the fallout of holding him.

An eagle can see really far away in intense detail because it can move fast enough to catch a mouse on the ground. A human with the same skill wouldn't be quite as useful.

It's really bizarre because the Dungeon and Dragons and Harry Potter hysteria comes off the presumption that magic is real and has very serious consequences. If spells were being published in mainstream books you can get off of Amazon I'm pretty sure it'd make national headlines and DnD would be the most popular hobby ever instead of something weird nerds who don't bathe do. Think of the military and scientific applications.

Farm Frenzy posted:has there been any research done into how people can feel reasonably uncertain about the official version of something, only to then unconditionally believe the first contrary argument they find on google? Yes actually: http://www.academia.edu/1207098/Dead_and_alive_Beliefs_in_contradictory_conspiracy_theories University of Kent did a study that looked at people who believe in 9/11 and Princess Diana conspiracy theories. Frequently people would believe multiple theories, even ones that were mutually exclusive (People would agree with the possibility that Diana was killed by MI-6 and also that she staged her own death). Basically, people feel in their gut that the official story isn't right, and they accept that as 100% true even without any evidence, so they look for any proof of something that backs up their belief. I think even the best of us a're more biased to accept a study that supports a conclusion we already agree with.

If we can do it with external scanners and they're supposed to be so far beyond us, why the impromptu colonoscopy? It's commentary on our society's fears of the gay agenda and otherizing gays by representing them as alien life forms.

My Pop, in his retirements years, has taken to watching lots of documentaries and has for some reason taken a shine to the LC videos. Dunno why, he's usually more skeptical than that. Anyways, any links I could send him would be cool. http://conspiracies.skepticproject.com/articles/zeitgeist/ This is a good review of Zeitgeist which tries and extrapolate a much larger conspiracy but Act 2 is all about 9/11 with similar talking points to loose change, so the site does similarly.

Kugyou no Tenshi posted:I can't help but highly recommend reading the Part 1 debunking, too, if only because it points out most (but not all) of the various oversimplifications and manipulations of historical mythology the filmmakers used to justify their "point", such as it was. It alone makes for a great case against the rest of it, and hammers home the idea that the people spreading these statements aren't above literally revising history to fit their narrative. I will never not find Jesus = Ra funny as hell. Aside from them making some stuff up about Ra wholesale the entire thing hinges on a pun that only works in English. Son of God = Sun God!

Well the whole "natural born citizen" part is tricky because it's ill-defined. Theres a couple different arguments about what it means but so far its been irrelevant because every one whos been elected to date has been born on US soil. Had John McCain been elected it would have possibly been a debate since he was born in Panama (but on a US army base). It's totally true that it's racism though because HAD John McCain been elected the same fuss would not have been raised.

Republican Vampire posted:Yeah it's almost as if rather than reading words letter by letter we instead just sort of glide over them and, in the process, fill in a lot of blanks with questionable accuracy. I think most people don't like saying their memory is faulty. Our memory is supposed to be the only objective personal truth of our personal reality, so the idea that it could be incorrect just feels wrong. Our mind does its best to convince us what we remember must be correct, too, so we end up doubling down. This sounds like a pretty typical new age wackery to me rather than anything truly insane.

twistedmentat posted:There is inherent racism in the Ancient Aliens thing, because it mostly focuses on non-white civilizations. There are things that talk about the Norse and the Greeks, but for some reason most of the focus is on non-whites. I wonder why? I disagree because Stonehenge is a biggie for most alien nutjob conspiracy theorists and I'm pretty sure Britons count as white. These things cover cultures all over the world and the majority of the world isn't "white", so when you're looking at it as just "Whites" and "Non-white" of course you're going to see more instances of non-white people. If you could break them all down into smaller groups I'm sure it'd be a lot more even. For example I don't see many alien theories about China, despite all the seemingly anachronistic technology they created. RagnarokAngel fucked around with this message at 16:46 on May 1, 2016 |

Short version is when wiki leaks released John podesta's email people cherry picked a lot of DNC emails that basically said "hey let's get some pizza" and 4chan was like "hey these guys really like pizza. Nobody likes pizza this much...it must be codeword for child prostitutes!" And it snowballed from the claiming all these emails were just coded references to sex acts. That's it. There's literally nothing there but they wanna make their opponents out to be kiddie diddlers for maximum evil.

Lightning Lord posted:Isn't Pizzagate basically based on the incorrect premises that no one likes cheese pizza and that everyone is aware of and uses 4chan code phrases in their lives? It all relies on cherry picking out of context photos to say "doesn't this seem weird guys???" In absence of actual evidence like missing children, let alone finding any actual children tied up there. Or the place having an actual basement. If you say that "cheese pizza" is code word for "child prostitute" without any evidence, you've labeled the premises from the start and any mundane conversation looks weird.

High functioning autism is also a diagnosis du jour right now to explain a kid's bad behavior, much like ADHD before it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the illness is a fake (nor is ADHD), but sometimes parents feel helpless and want a diagnosis to help explain why their kid is acting a certain way.
