He didn't have a point. He just signaled that he can't think independently. The video is a summary of what we were told happened , through the mainstream media. The story is absurd , which means it's not actually true ! Th

For the record, the video summarizes what we were told happened , through the media. I shouldn't need to connect the dots for you, and you shouldn't dismiss me as some crackpot lunatic (even though you've been programmed to)

My guess is that he's a psychopath and just making things up for his own enjoyment. Maybe he's a Narc and just wanted more attention? But either way, think about what I said about the article. If you're being intellectually h

Alright, but if governments work for the people, as we're told, then they'd also erm.. "regulate" news organizations and make them actually serve the public. You know full well they could , if they wanted to. That wou

I call bullshit. This guy has 100k/yr in income but no savings at all? And his much highlighted Nissan 350 Turbo "pro street" was bought on credit? Where did the money go? He had people renting his house, presumably for a m

There's some merit to the idea != all charismatic people are psychopaths.

I already acknowledged your point. You could do the same for mine.

Alright. Often there's only one person in the car though, and what I said applies to other things too.

The state punishing people for not wearing seatbelts represents the idea that people need to be protected from themselves, by force. If we go along that road, what's next? Should police officers be everywhere, ready to snatch a beer fr
