I definitely understand this statement my intentions may have been a little unclear and can see why one might immediately assume that since it is my first post my troll potential is extremely high with the added troll potential of the movie Zeitgeist one could have replied with a fuck off troll without reading any of the OP. ---

If you see a hostile ambulatory stick, and one that’s on fire, no less, you wouldn’t forsee a risk? Personally, I’d be all like “Woah, a flaming hostile ambulatory stick! Forseeable risk! Forseeable risk!” ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Then you’re stupid. He repeatedly referred to the friends that were taken in by the movie as idiots. Yeah, he said they were idiots who believe in a movie that has changed peoples’ lives all over the world, and who have irrefutable evidence showing the movie is true and are able to shoot down any arguments against it. No way anybody could mistake that for positive buzz. ---

Yeah, I was thinking someone hijacked him too. It just seemed soo sureal to see that written down. I just can’t believe anyone would write that, unless they are one of the people who completely believe everything in that movie. Which may be. Either that, or he’s just a giant jackass who needs to grow up. ---

> [@Captain\_Amazing](#): > > Well, I read the OP, and I still thought you were pimping the movie. Really? Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t see that at all. Seemed like he was quoting his friends- and the OP was him quietly shaking his head in disbelief that his friends felt that way. ---
