We aren't any better, I'm afraid. We like to think we are, but we aren't.

Hey, man, just look at East Timor.

Oh, it was so nice of us to "liberate" them... It was such a "humanitarian" thing to do...

Let's not mention that Alexander Downer was the Foreign Minister at the time, and he went on to bug the discussions with East Timor over maritime borders so he could f**k them over. He then gave a whole bunch of mining rights in our new, fair *cough* maritime section to Woodside, who he then ended up "consulting" for in exchange for a f**kwad of cash.

I mean, East Timor now trying to sue us because we balkanised them and raped their country and stole all their resources...what a load of malarky. We wouldn't do anything like that...

We all understand that there are people and money who pull strings.
But how does it change your regular Joe's life. We just get on with it and do the best for ourself and our time on the planet.
I am sure there is also some shit that goes on in the criminal world too that would be intruiging but again has no effect on our own personal existence.

Yeah, I don't care.

i don't care about the thousands (millions?) of people that are trafficked throughout the world by these people. I don't care about the bullshit wars that send our boys overseas to die for. Or the innocent civilians of the counties we invade. I don't care that millions have people have been used for organ harvesting, or that children are sold into sex slavery...

I don't care that the CIA has been the world's premier drug running institution for 70 years...

I don't care that we miss out on billions in tax revenue so Apple and Google can pay nothing...

(Here's a crazy one...) I don't care that most of the UFOs we see are probably government black projects, which means they probably have some kind of free energy, so why the f**k are we still using oil?

I don't care that drug manufacturers own politicians and run their businesses for cures that they can profit from rather than prevention or even cures that actually work and are affordable...

I don't care that foreign aid is a scam used for personal profit of the elites...

I mean, I get to go to work and watch footy, so what's it matter to me? None of these things have any effect on my personal experience...

How do those poorly supported, possible exaggerations impact you chicken boy?

Lets assume they are legit. Even if they are I struggle to see how it is of substantial relevance to your existence?

Have you been probed by an alien?

Has the no beard party shaved you?

Have your rights in any way been impinged?

Give us some detail.

Don't forget Big Food. Look up the story of Dr Gary Fettke, and hear what he has to say about the Seventh Day Adventists.

Unsure how true any of these are.
With drug manufacturers I have friend who have worked in this field. They would get paid to develop and improve or create new drugs. If they found a cure for something are you suggesting that their boss tells then not to tell anyone? That is bullshit. Especially these days. Regular people like you and me are working for these drug companies to develop things not some secret group of people that they own.

Well, just on the crazy one - the UFO one - if there is free energy (or whatever) out there then are you really trying to say this doesn't affect our lives? Really?

We're tearing the f**k out of the planet for stuff like oil and uranium, creating significant pollution, reaming the economy.

Not to mention how easy travel would be, how cheap it would be...

And the wars we fight over energy? Fake wars have definitely affected my life, personally, and not in good ways.

In general, if you think that the planet, the human race, and all of the individuals that make up our species haven't been affected by all of the stuff that we mention then you truly are...well..do I use the word ignorant? Blind? Stupid?

None of those are meant to be offensive, just honest.

Good point. I agree that oil companies would be hiding things. It's even fact there is a tyre that Japan invented that never wears out. But these manufacturers bought the formula in the 80s think.
HJ do you think the fact 6 billion are breathing oxygen would have an effect?

I also saw a video on how glaciers are melting but it's being outweighed by snow dropping in Antartica. Just at a different area and how poles are shifting. I grew up on a farm and have noticed fruit trees coming into blossum earlier.Is it possible that our winter will become summer?

Also seen a video that suggests 95% of the ocean is unexplored which I guess means we know little about what's going on down there.

I asked you to explain how they have affected you. You just said they have and that I am stupid. You didn't give any of the detail I was after.

Tell me how you think your list has impacted you. I'm genuinely interested in how you think it has so try and answer with detail rather than pathetic generalisations and insults.

Here you go @Hollywood Jesus.

Here's your chance to say something sensible. You can't just go on a an unsubstantiated rant and then respond without evidence suggesting that the person requiring further detail is stupid or doesn't get it. You havent even made a point yet so there isn't anything of substance to be misunderstood

Explain yourself properly smuggy. I've even made the job easy for you and showed you where to include sensible commentary...

I care about the thousands (millions?) of people that are trafficked throughout the world by these people [HJ to explain which people]. I care becuase it personally impacts me in the following ways [HJ to provide detail]


I care about the bullshit wars that send our boys overseas to die for and the innocent civilians of the counties we invade because [HJ to explain why]. Further it personally impacts me in the following ways [HJ to provide detail]


I care that millions have people have been used for organ harvesting, or that children are sold into sex slavery [HJ to provide evidence that supports this claim and highlight the personal impact it has had on him]

I care that the CIA has been the world's premier drug running institution for 70 years [HJ to provide evidence that supports this claim and highlight the personal impact it has had on him]

I care that we miss out on billions in tax revenue so Apple and Google can pay nothing...[HJ to provide further evidence. HJ to clarify who 'we' is. Is it him?]

Tbh on the UFO thing, it's a stretch to suggest free energy based on a few, generally unreliable, witnesses seeing something they almost certainly exaggerate and misidentify

The US navy stuff is interesting and a different discussion to most redneck UFO sightings, but to say "free energy" based on seeing weird lights that appear to move fast is still a big leap of logic.

It could be, but he has a chance to explain himself properly.
