Windflier, I click on these threads to debunk the nonsense and lies that UFO charlatans spread and that you and others so breathlessly repeat.
I’ll clue you in to something I’ve told your pal Quix many times. I DO read all the GARBAGE by the UFO and other conspiracy charlatans. I ENJOY conspiracy stuff, UFO stuff, Coast to Coast stuff, etc. BUT, and here’s the big BUT, the Sir-Mix-A-Lot BUT. I ALSO read the other side, the logical and scientific side, the plausible explanations, the experiments.
Most conspiracy folk DO NOT WANT to believe the plausible, human, scientific and logical explanations for things. I KEEP SEARCHING for the big WOW but as of yet I HAVE NOT FOUND IT! I’m not trying to ruin your fun, but I don’t want to see FR turn into a hot house of all these wacky, conspiracy stuff.
I’m sorry if I and others spoil your fun, but there’s other sites dedicated to this kind of nonsense with more wild-eyed true believers. This if FR, a conservative site, a supposedly more logical and thinking person’s site than a DU or Kos, you will actually find a much better reception for this stuff over there as they are obviously more “open minded” (gullible) to this kind of nonsense.
I’d bet a whole bunch of you won’t post your true views of 9/11 for fear of being banned, one FReeper friend of ours told me he still “has questions” as to what happened on 9/11, but refused to elaborate. The conspiracy mind wants to believe the fantastic and enjoy the ride, that was me when I was a teen-ager, but no more. I have this nasty habit of reading tons and tons of stuff on a lot of subjects, and have since I learned to read. I also have this habit of not wanting to make a fool of myself, so I read some more.
I’m waiting for any of this UFO stuff to be proven, but yet, none of it can get by my BS meter, when and if it ever does I will be the first to admit it and trumpet it loudly. I’ll even fly to Quix’s house and buy him a beer.
Bob, I'm not "breathlessly repeating" any "nonsense" or "lies". I'm acknowledging the evidence about these cases that has been collected for at least half a century now. That's all.
You haven't once seen me advance the theory that aliens are performing high tech surgery on these animals, have you?
If anything, I'm trying to bring this subject down to earth in true Freeper fashion. I continue to exhort everyone who will listen, to simply acknowledge the many thousands of reports from qualified observers. That's all.
I haven't once asked anyone to pay the slightest bit of attention to any of these reporter's theories about who is doing this, or by what means. Not once.
As a conservative, I care about the truth. Period. I simply cannot ignore thousands of reports about this phenomenon from people who are diligently collecting the evidence and swearing to their testimony of the same.
Apply just a small amount of logic and reasoning to this, and you have to come away believing that at the very least, these people have observed something real and tangible. Who is responsible for causing this is anyone's guess. We have no evidence for that at this point.
However, there are mountains of evidence about the phenomenon itself. Of that, there is no question.
