well, i give up… it’s a fact … you are all educated stupid …
i dunno, i’m kind of tired. i have one last proposition for you …
if enough people believe that i am right i will win the $1,000,000 …
i am willing to sign some sort of contract that would force me to give $950,000 of this money to the survivors of the Iranian earthquake … if you could find it in your heart to believe what i have said in these threads the children of Iran would benefit at least as much as i would if i received $50,000 … if you think $50,000 is unfair that is alright too … i will be satisfied with $1.00, $0.10, $0.01 or whatever amount you decide that i deserve …
go read what James Randi has to say … this man is wealthy; he has obviously profited immensely with his obsession with skepticism and when it comes down to it he’s not really that nice of a guy … maybe you think i’m a jerk too but those kids who are suffering deserve better …
Speaking from some considerable experience with LSD and peyote, I concur with Daniel that the notion that hallucinogens “enlighten” the mind of the user is utterly false. Watching walls melt and having telepathic conversations with the sofa are subjective experiences brought on by altered brain chemistry; they are not real. The walls are not really melting and the furniture is not discussing Nietszche; those events are delusions.
If you really want to be "enlightened, take a calculus class. Math explains more of the universe’s workings than any amount of illicit pharmaceuticals can.
. . . Does anyone else picture Question in a beret and goatee and playing bongo drums while a woman in a leotard does Interpretive Dances behind him?
You want to learn how to balance force and energy better? Get yourself a copy of Meriam and Kraige’s Engineering Mechanics (in two volumes). Read em. Do all the problems. Right now, you’re just a flake, slinging big words around with no real understanding of how this “truth” you speak of works. What your drugs have taught you to be wisdom, others know to be a babbling fountain of shit.
Learn something real. Clean yourself up. Come back. Bring Pie.
It’s yin, not ying.
Dude, if you’d read his site at all you’d know it’s not his money. He offered some money to start, and others have pledged money over the years into a trust fund. That money can only legally be used for this award, so your whining about the Iranian victims of an earthquake is pointless. It’s like griping about how scholarship funds are going to send students to college instead of helping the earthquake victims. If you were bitching that the Red Cross decided to buy Humvees for their staff members and took that out of their relief funds, you’d have a point.
I’m confused about the OP’s rant. He believes that James Randi owes him $1, 000, 000 for. . . what, exactly?
From the JREF site. . .
Eseentially, if one can perform a supernatural feat, such as telepathy or telekinesis, the applicant can perform a test under lab conditions and get the money.
What Question fails to understand is that one cannot be a claimant by spouting fuzzy, drug-induced hippiespeak, “Dude, like, wow, we’re made of energy, man.”
Have you ever looked at your hands, I mean really looked at your hands?
Question, why stop there? Why not demand that Mr. Gates give 50 billion to the orphans of Iran?
You’re picking on Randi because the charity work he’s doing – making life more difficult for con artists, hucksters, and lunatics who want to bilk folks out of their money – offends you. Not because you are sincere, but because you’re trying to be a pain in his ass the way he’s a pain in yours.
Requesting the money from Randi is stupid: it ain’t his, and it’s already doing good in the world. Request it from the Hiltons, from the Gateses, from the Waltons. Leave Randi alone.

Wrong. Read the website again. If you can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event, in both preliminary and final trials, then you get the million. According to the rules, a successful result should be evident to any observer. Belief doesn’t come into it.
What power or event will you be demonstrating?
If you successfully pass the JREF challenge, you can do whatever you want with the money.
Wow, dude! Look at that! It’s different sameness. I need to go start a thread in GD! :rolleyes:
I decided to eat those words to make them even more a part of me
but they came back on me!
urp
We all have the same hands. We have a hive hand.

Do any of you remember Justhink? Mr. Hink and Question should get together sometime. That’s a conversation I’d like to listen in on.
Dude, you’re like sick or something.
Hey, I was right! He is the Timecube guy!
Fuck you! Stop posting, or I’ll collapse your waveform.
This thread is my first encounter with the much-maligned Question. But I must say I hate him for the link in the OP. He has forced me to agree with Brutus. For that I hold much enmity towards him.
He addressed that in the Reincarnation thread 
:
But if that isn’t enough to convince you, consider the following nuggets of wisdom which will undoubtedly make converts of even the most hardened skeptics:
One day later:
HOLY SHIT! HE’S RIGHT! But it gets even more paranormal than that!
So from this we can draw the earth-shattering conclusions that parents make babies that eventually grow up, people need water to survive, and someone got a whole vial of LSD for Christmas. Fascinating. Mr. Randi, I think you owe this man some money.
