Of course, those rumors that circulated in Europe in the early '40s of huge death camps in Germany were obviously only believable to wacko conspiracy nuts because no government would ever do such an evil thing as build mass murder chambers disguised as showers.
Seriously, Boogieman, Crazieman, Pirate Ragnar, Paladin2, SaxxonWoods, TheDon, Hetty Fauxvert, gdani, and all the rest of you "realists" who know better than to believe tinfoil hat conspiracies of organized wickedness on the part of corrupt governments --
Looks to me like a LOT of you need to bone up on your real-world history.
Finny, you’re one of the most gullible idiots I’ve ever had the displeasure of being acquainted with.
And that’s putting it politely.
A&&holes like gdani, however, deserve it when reality smacks them down.
For the longest time, a poster I thought was a loosely-hinged conspiracist -- Askel5 -- was predicting that Gramscian communists would be seizing control of the government. I laughed at her.
Then came Obama.
I laugh no more.
Certainly, there are many corrupt, evil things our government and governments around the world do. That is a fact, and has been a fact my entire life (and well before), no matter who has been president.
That does not, however, mean I buy into a "theory" that President Obama has an army of drug-addled zombies available at his disposal to commit mass shootings whenever politically convenient.
Some people are nuts. Some are evil. Some are both.
I’m not saying they *wouldnt*. I’m saying I think that successful orchestration to produce the intended result at the right TIME is as yet beyond their capability. JMO.
