4chan begins preparations for December 21 trolling operations - Polidicks

[quote]just because they think the world really is ending; like say, murder, robbery, anarchy. [/quote] But the thing is they already do think it's ending. The people who are moronic enough to believe in that have already eaten the hook off someone else's line -- it's not like "End of the World in 2012" is something that was cooked up last year. It's been whispered in their ear for years on end. They're going to find things that substantiate their belief whether anyone makes it or not -- again -- because they're morons. If you want to change their nature, make them laugh at their superstitious beliefs; that's the best way that I know anyway. But besides, it's all good fun. War of the Worlds didn't end the world even though it sent a lot of folks into panic; now we laugh about it and those who took it seriously laugh at themselves now that they see the wizard behind the curtain.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;38908777]Dude, stop stressing about conspiracy theorists. If it really comes down to it, just link them to this thread, or any live threads on /b/ about it.[/QUOTE] No, I hate these conspiratards, and they ruin everything.

If you really believe that they're "damaging the reputation of science and pharmaceuticals" I think you need to take a break from the internet. :(

[QUOTE=Kljunas;38908896]Why do you even bother with them?[/QUOTE] Because I care deeply about science and am a defensive person. Science is really one of the only things that matter to me. Its my life and I don't tolerate people damaging it.

[quote]Maybe you don't live in the US? Its very common here.[/quote] I live in Bonham, TX. The people you're talking about as 'dangerous' are only dangerous because people are listening to the microphone they're spouting from. The majority of those listening are morons. If you're worried about those morons with this silly 'lights in the sky' thing, then perhaps you ought be more concerned about the likes of Rush Limbaugh and other folks who are actually in a position to do something actually dangerous. Most people take Flu Vaccinations because they have evidence it works -- they can see it for themselves. The thing is: They can choose to disbelieve as they're moronic -- but more often than not they'll see reason when they come to see how silly something is. Lights in the sky is pretty silly. Colorado blowing up and people going there and [b]seeing[/b] that it didn't blow up is pretty silly. Honestly, you're quite the stress-able person.

TonyP you're crazy.

How is something like this? [img]http://i.solidfiles.net/1505963d07.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Xieneus;38908965]TonyP you're crazy.[/QUOTE] No, if I was crazy I'd be on the other side of my beliefs.

[QUOTE=overpain;38908821][img]http://puu.sh/1Dc1R[/img] Am I doing good?[/QUOTE]"Lol end of the world #Strangelights #2012 #endoftheworld" would've been better imo.

Nah guys i think you're all being mean. He's just dumb.

They don't mean any harm, they just don't know any better. It is the conspiratards who are responsible for convincing them of those things.

Oh come on. First you say "GUYS DON'T THEY'LL TAKE YOU FOR SERIOUS BECAUSE THEY TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY" and now you say that? Would it make you feel better if in every 'falling star' or 'strange light' we placed a tiny disco ball? Does that make it 'less serious' than 'and suddenly lights in the sky'?

[QUOTE=TonyP;38909083]Most people who think Obama is a secret Muslim are just innocent, mislead, naive folks, and I feel very bad for them.[/QUOTE] Like fuck they do, you have a vocal minority screaming like morons.

[quote]Most people who think Obama is a secret Muslim are just innocent, mislead, naive folks[/quote] Let me whisper a secret to you: [i]They're morons and they, like Mulder, 'want to believe'.[/i]

[QUOTE=Firgof Umbra;38909142]Let me whisper a secret to you: [i]They're morons and they, like Mulder, 'want to believe'.[/i][/QUOTE] A lot of them are morons true, but many are just naive and mislead, otherwise decent people. You shouldn't place the blame on the victims, they can't help that they are naive and gullible. Place the blame on the conspiracy theorists who mislead the gullible innocent with their advertisements and constant commenting online.
