You've got three options and must choose two.

1. Drop the hostility.

2. Accept someone can be familiar with ideas without having studied the same curriculum as yourself.

3. Piss off.

Amadd I like you and I think you have a good heart with good intentions.

You remind me of a post I made on a different website recently, I think it might have been before you even came to this website.

It was something about people who think they have all the answers after watching movies like Zeitgeist who then only discuss it with other people who are on a similar thought train to themselves and consider everyone else sheep or ignorant. They subscribe blind faith to unproven theories (like religion almost) and sit around all day talking about their theories amongst themselves without trying to educate others or help people they deem to be subservient to evil. It was on an uncensored website though and far more profane.

Instead of insisting people watch a 2 hour film, why not use your knowledge to help others and educate them and allow them to ask you questions which you can then educate them with your answers and insight? It's almost like Zeitgeist has scared you in to submission or fear has shut your mind down.

Hes not joking.

There is no such thing as free speech in Australia. We have sedition laws.

Amadd, there are hardly any people here who have seen this film. You are not going to get a great discussion on the film. Go to a conspiracy oriented website with a large membership, or at least a forum that has over 5000 members if you want a decent discussion on this film.

I do believe in Freedom Of Speech Amadd. You are the one who doesn't. You refuse to discuss an ideology with someone who hasn't studied the exact same doctrine as you. You are a hypocrite.

If you want some film discussion go take it to the movie thread in secret womens business. If you want to discuss conspiracies and try and help people, you are more than welcome to post here.

Sorry I got off topic Amadd.

I suppose you would prefer that individuals lost their sense of individuality and just conformed to set standards and rules and never deviated from the course?

We have another thread in here somewhere with a similar thing where someone posted a movie link and I said I will discuss it with you if you give me a brief summary of it. And they did. I might go resurrect that thread.

Anyway Amadd, I can address your points in your post, can you be polite and do the same for me?

Hello Weaser,

I'm happy to be able to respond to your post without fear of deletion.
Thankyou for resigning your position. You've done yourself proud.

Now keep in mind that it is you who is making such big deal of watching or not watching Zeitgeist 2, and still you rattle on.

Of course I won't be bothered trying to discuss with you the points of the movie/doco that I was interested in discussing, but a few of the points that I am/was interested in were as follows:

Are we making the most of our available resources?
Should we be relying on ourselves and our local communities more than we rely on "the system"?
Will there be a day where religions will be seen as being archaic, and will therefore be updated with more modern and knowedgable philosophies?
..or whatever else.

I think I've outlined enough times the idealisms involved in the Zeitgeist 2 movie/doco, and also the fact that it's just a collaboration of known ideas and theories, but you seem to choose to put the whole thing into the category of some messianic message where religious people must fear the wrath of God or the devil if they watch it.

Like almost anything put forward for consideration, there's angles (not angels) involved, and the creator wants you to see a point of view.
The main point of view that I see, is that we have enough resources available already to be living in a better place without wars, starving and suffering. However, as you've proven, there will always be those who have no idea of how to present leadership; there's a
big difference between wanting lead and wanting to control.

I doubted from the very start that I'd be able to discuss anything much with you that is of personal interest, mainly because of your unfounded defensiveness, and of course, the simple fact that you haven't even seen the subject of discussion.

I won't bother picking apart the critical review that you've entered, but it's probably less critical than the downside review that I've already posted:

I did however, think that the "technocommunist rat poison" statement was a bit rich considering the world's current situation.
Free trade capitalism is really kicking butt for us all atm isn't it?
Next will be capitalist cries for more government control over how "free trade" operates.

I don't believe in divine intervention, but I do believe in possibilities for the (most probably) distant future.
If you consider how far we (humans) have come in just 100 years as far as outgrowing a barbaric nature, then we're probably doing sort of OK..relatively speaking of course.
But nobody's talking about changing the world tomorrow!
I'm more interested in what people would consider a utopian society to be. Fresco's vision doesn't
go far enough as far as I'm concerned.

And so I get a bit idealistic at times...so what?
Where else should I discuss my idealisms rather than a "Fringe, or a Spirituality" forum?
You discuss UFO abductions here don't you?


IMO, the next time that you find yourself jumping up and down, and waving your arms in the air with your boobs jouncing to an hysterical beat because of something you haven't even seen, you might like to remind yourself that most people can think for themselves...and they do.

Do you mean that you didn't read the part about the boobs jouncing to an hysterical beat? ...sometimes I just crack me up
