Wow. Holocaust denial, 9/11 conspiracy theory, anti-semitism and blood libel, crackpot AIDS theories, crackpot anthropology; it’s like all the stupid in the world fell into that website. No aliens, though.

Ah, never mind my last post then. Glad I didn’t spend the time reading it.
[QUOTE=Lemur866]
Gotta disagree with you there Colibri. Most of the stuff on that site isn’t even wrong. Is it wrong to say something like, “Tuesday is actually orange, not green like the scientific consensus”?
[/QUOTE]
Perhaps you’re right. That site is in some dimension orthogonal to those where “rigth” and “wrong” have meaning.
[QUOTE=Smeghead]
I decided I’d give this an honest chance and read until I found something that was obviously, incontrovertably wrong.
It probably says something about the site that I didn’t even get through the first word.

Oh, but it gets better. You have to read more. The links are priceless. I decided I wanted to know the “Untold Story” behind the Waco tragedy. I swear, the tinfoil hat brigade is more predictable than a bad murder mystery. For those of you who want to find out for yourselves, I’ll put it in spoiler tags.

What I’m trying to figure is whether Spooky is truly stupid, trolling, or joking with us. Any ideas?

Y’know how every year, psych 101 students are given an assignment to make some outrageous or controversial comment to a group of people and study the reactions? Yeah.
[QUOTE=Lord Ashtar]
I’m sure Spooky takes this stuff very seriously. I’m also sure she’s confused as to why nobody believes her.
[/QUOTE]
Her only posts have been in this thread and the one she’s complaining about having been closed. In this thread in particular, it seems to me that she’s been tongue-in-cheek, but maybe it’s just that the only real wacko I’ve been exposed to is Lekatt. I mean, maybe it came across as tongue-in-cheek to me because I just couldn’t believe she’s serious.

If the OP is genuine, I’d find it hard to believe she got accepted to college.

Those are not mutually exclusive possibilities. In fact, since if **Spooky ** is either trolling or joking she has not made a very good job at it, I would say the first one is virtually a given whether or not she believes any of it.
I read through a few of the stories on that site and it is now bookmarked, I always like to have something entertaining to read on a slow afternoon.
My favorite one so far is the True Story[sup]tm[/sup] behind the murder of Rasputin.
The following is paraphrased to heighten the entertainment value:
He was killed by a conspiricy of gay British Royals to prevent him from saving humanity from all the evil things that happened in the 20[sup]th[/sup] century. Naturally the Illuminaty didn’t want him preventing all of these things from happening since they need turmoil to control the world. I think the Rothchilds played into this somehow as well.
