I would agree that we all are uniquely different, when you simply parrot infowars you aren't demonstrating your unique difference or your ability to think critically.

Its one thing to be "uniquely programmed differently" and another to foolishly believe anything that comes along,
Endless posts that are little but lies and insults. Starts countless threads where the title is a lie and the supporting article is either some RW online blog such as Breitbart or InfoWars or from a reputable source but does not support the title's lie.

On the plus side, BB keeps this forum lively.

I suppose like P T Barnum said long ago "There's a sucker born every minute" still applies....It would take an idiot to buy this crap, but luckily for Jones idiots are plentiful.
Hey, he needs those three Rolexes! They don't come cheap!

We may be getting somewhere??? But I doubt it.


In your case, you were not thinking for me, you stated how you feel very well.
I agree that you and I are different. Aside from that, I was being pretty sarcastic, although I would still give you a beer, because I'm cool like that.

Since you seem to be open to talking, let me drop the sarcasm for a moment.

I don't much care for conformity, either, for its own sake. When my beliefs align with those of others because they are honest embraced, that's not conformity, it's just coincidence. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. I don't really care much.

I'm not sure what you want "them " to learn. To appreciate Alex Jones? To agree with your comments? To understand your point of view? That last I can appreciate, even if it does not lead to agreement. It's good to try to understand why people feel as they do. That empathy thing, right?

Where do you think we may be getting, and why do you doubt it? If it's bringing me around to your political views, you are probably right. If it's having a civil conversation, in which ideas are exchanged, that's a worthy goal for any two people to have, and I'm on right on board (with more beer, even.)

As for thinking for you (or anyone else), I would never presume, although I might try to persuade. *grin* And I pretty much always state how I feel. I'm oddly flattered that you think I did so well.

And here is the problem with the left and why they have become the loser party.

Quit thinking for everyone else, like no one can think for themselves and you may make some friends back.

Those who buy into the Alex Jones BS like sex-trafficking pizzerias and over-priced supplements being any more effective than the same thing offered at any store are hardly thinking for themselves.

Agree. To write about thinking for oneself and Alex Jones in the same post is just silly.

Alex Jones makes his living selling overpriced supplements, whistles, and other bibs and bobs to the rubes who repeat the nonsense he blathers about like it's the gospel truth.

What a bunch of idiots.

Or, as a modern day P T Barnum would call them: My retirement fund!

“He can sell 500 supplements in an hour,” a former employee told BuzzFeed News this spring.
One estimate by New York magazine — which uses some back-of-the-envelope calculations based on the number of reviews of supplements on Jones' Infowars Life Store — suggests that, with an average supplement price of $30, Jones could haul in $15,000,000 in sales over a two-year period on just that one supplement. A second, less conservative estimate from the magazine puts the figure even higher — nearly $25,000,000 without including repeat customers (of which there are likely many).




He's an idiot alright..... A wealthy one at that.
Because morons make him wealthy. Same ilk that pay for the National Enquirer.
