I know my opinion dosen't count for much But I like to read this thread..

Noo...CA.

That's not the case. Not the case at all! That's not Noodly.

The whole point of this thread from way back when was to explore these 'nutty' ideas.

Why would you say your opinion doesn't count for much? That's crazy talk...

CRAZY TALKING! :-)

Knigtmate, you've had about 4k views on topics that are diverse that everyone can participate in. But, of course, 'everyone' means 'everyone'.

It's entertaining even for folks that don't feel the need to post here.

Get Noodly...I'll post new topics almost daily for you just like the past weeks.

------------------
I wnt you to know that if this thread becomes too much of a magnet for those strange hippy types to use drugs and experiment with their 'alternate realities' then it will be reported to the proper authorities....hehehehe

LOL....things don't come across quite well over the internet Knightmate.

I lost interest after a while when you made the other thread which was of a similar nature (that was 2 mos ago?) so don't want to debate it. This thread rocks. It just got diluted at that point.

You and I discussed it the day you created it and I told you it would be a winner. It's always been one of my favorites.

Just remember, every cogent, rational and calm disagreement isn't personal. It's the nature of BIGFOOT. And if that doesn't sell you...blame it on Misfit. :-)


Ok....It's ALL Misfit's fault. LMAO

I understand what you mean about the thread being diluted. Unfortunately, it seems that all of the other threads have been doing a rather quiet fade lately. I am very happy to see this one is getting rolling again.

Actually Robert, THIS thread is the " similar thread " you were referring to. I made this one to tone down the philosophical end of things a bit and just have a more light hearted spirit here. The other one was just getting a bit too heavy.

Not saying that we have to cut out philosophy and such things altogether though. Certain people wre getting a bit obnoxious about it though. lol

I am glad to see that you still like this thread. Hopefully a few more people will start posting again.

For those of you who have recently started posting here...WELCOME. For those who were here before WELCOME BACK.

When you get a chance do you wish to post a 'what's on whacky radio' posting?

Since you've got slowdowns I might can do it. See, I left this thread for a while and the whole world went to hell...lol


And WHY exactly did you leave the thread? Were we not rational enough for you?

You can't go anywhere man. It's bad enough that Enigma ( my main conspiracy cohort ) is going to be gone for a while.

Tonight on Wacky AM...
Cyber tech expert Charles R. Smith will discuss current military operations worldwide and how new weaponry will change the nature of conflict. In the 1st hour, Dr. Marc Siegel will provide a bird flu update. Guest Host: Ross Mitchell (email)

I am not sure that Mitchell will be hosting...the dude that is on KFI right now has been saying that it will be Ian Punnit.

Knightmate,

There's a thread CA made about the mid east crisis you may want to visit.

In the meantime, here's a simplistic rundown of the situation. Hezbollah, is a militant Shiite terror group existing in Lebanon, just north of Israel. They are backed and supplied by Iran and began launching hundreds of rockets on Israeli cities. Israel had had enough and hit back into Lebanese territory (where Lebanon, who is fairly 'westernized') is both unwilling/unable to control this army. Syria, to Lebanon's North had occupied Lebanon as 'friends' until the burgeoning liberal attitude of democracy took hold when the citizens saw what was possible in the region with elections happening in Afghan and Iraq. They , some say, want an excuse to get back in the action. China sold alot of their missiles to Iran which in turn furnished them to Hezbollah. There's alot more to it than that of course, but check out that thread. Supposedly Iran has specialists in Lebanon helping these attacks on Israel, including the ship they hit the other day, in order to distract from their own nuclear arms program.


Nicely done Robert. Thanks for clarifying ( to a point ) things for me. We all know that I need things to be as simple as possible. lol

What is the name of the thread CA posted on? I am too lazy to look for it. That and the fact that my laptop is VERY slow.

Message 369008 - Posted: 16 Jul 2006, 4:29:44 UTC - in response to Message 368926.  

Here is a conspiracy theory that I heard last night. Iran and Hezbolla ( Spelling ) are in cahoots with the recent attaks on Israel.

It seems that with the G8 conference happening, Iran wants to draw attention away from itself and the fact that they want to develope nuclear weapons. So they are in contact with Hezbolla (sp?) and basically told them to do something to get some of the attention off Iran.

Not saying I believe it, just another of the many conspiracies that seem to abound these days.


2 Facts.
The missles and rocket launchers come from Iran and Syria, The personnel
lobbing those rockets are Iranian.


Ok. I never heard mention of what nationality the people doing the attacks were. All I heard was that Hezbolla was involved. I don't know if that group is Iranian or Syrian or a combination of many nationalities.

Thanks for the info Captain.

I heard a reference to this story on a radio show earlier this evening.

So in posting it, are you stating that you are considering the story true? If not, WHY not?

And by the way, WELCOME. Things have been pretty dead recently due to the wonderful weather ( or a complete lack of interest, not sure which just yet ) but I am pretty sure it will pick up again eventually.


Sorry for the delay. I haven't been visiting the fora much lately.

After seeing a few programs on this matter and visiting a number of websites I have little doubt as to the authenticity of this event. It seems to me it could be a good example of a conspiracy. U.S. ship attacked, no consequences to the attackers. There have been wars started over less.


No worries Tek. Nice to see ya.
