You people have shown me that when someone tries to even speak their mind, you have to put me down because of my spelling and grammer then to even comment on the facts of what I was talking about. I guess that is what Americans are coming to nowadays, just because I was talking in text message form in the post people think I was on dope or something. How are you going to sit there and post about my grammer, but nothing on the facts that were coming from my mouth. Out of everyone on the post board, I didn’t read one that was trying to talk about the facts only on my grammer. If you can’t say anything about the topic on hand why are you even on the message board. It must be scary thinking about what could actually be true but no one wants to say anything about it. One more thing, I know people didn’t repsone to anything about the FBI or the goverment but I have somehting else to say about that. You’re going to trust the goverment and FBI after all the stuff that they tried to cover up and keep away from the people.

Don’t mind these folks; they can be rough on newbies sometimes. C’mon y’all, let the man post! Oh, and the link in my post had another fellow who had some inside info on the massacre…don’t know if it’s related, but it might provide some insight.

Could you post some facts, as in your friend’s name, the Sheriff’s name, even the town? Otherwise your post is pretty must useless rumor, which no informed discussion can be based off of.

First of all im not a semi-literate i was tired as hell when i wrote my first post. And not all things can be explained with “reputable sources” or modern day science you would know that if you had any commen sense at all. I bet my s.a.t scores are double yours.

Attack from the 3rd dimension, and An Arky thank you. i did real good in all my classes in school except english (spelling wise i mean).

laugh my ass off. I cant do it alone it needs to be the mass publics opinion. If you look it up it says something like if we feel like the goverment is’nt working in the favor of the people then we can replace them with one that is.

I dont belive in having to have hard proof evidence, not everything has it. I belive in seeing it makes it true and the word of a trustworthy person (not everyone). I know his grandfather is’nt liein because he had know reason to lie. He’s known me since i was a baby, he’s my godfather. And if you are religious then how do you knoe Jesus and Budda and all others are real? Theres know proof! does that mean they dont exist, no it doesnt (not saying they are or arent real). You shouldent belive something just cause a scientist or a book says its true.

Without sources or facts that others can doublecheck, we have no reason to believe your version of the events.

I once saw a magician vanish a lady right in front of my eyes. I guess that makes it true. Why would he lie?

1. _Common_ sense is exactly what compels us to disregard your tales.
2. Would you _please_ use a spellcheck of some kind? Your posts are starting to give me a headache.

o and did you not read my post? NOT EVERYTHING has souces you can check. go out and find sources that Jesus and Hellhounds exist. Bet you wont cause there is none! Does that mean they dont exist NO IT DOESNT! Im not trying to force you to belive this im just saying you wont find any real info on it cause there is none. O and if you belive that the creator of the movie got the idea from ed gein and standing in a hardware store then you must be dumb. Think about it why a chainsaw? why not a hacksaw ot a sledge hammer or skill saw? The creator of the movie just wanted credit for the idea.

I know that that statement was directed at Oakminister, but my SAT scores were 719V/772M. Since it’s impossible to get more than 800V/800M, it’s not possible for your SAT scores to be anything close to double mine. There are many people here whose SAT scores are more than half of yours. In fact, I suspect many people here have SAT scores that are far more than yours.

O.K., where do I look this up? More specifically, where do I look up the place where it says that we can do the following?:

\> o n did u know that we can march to the white house n kick the president n all  
\> the goverment workers out n destroy the laws that they made nd replace them  
\> with who we see fit.

Where does it say that all we have to do is march to the White House, and they will allow us to kick out the President and all the federal workers and get rid of all the current federal laws?

You know, you got off to a pretty shaky start, but it looked like you might just be able to pull yourself out of it and engage in some real discussion…and then you decided to go off in this direction instead…

I’m actually a bit disappointed.
