What’s the weirdest thing you’ll admit to believing?

Weirdest thing I’ll admit to is believing that what I do or wear or whatever somehow influences how the Heels play. I realize it makes no sense but I’ll still move to a different seat during a game if we’re screwing up or stay where I am if we’re winning. Stupid, I know, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stop doing it.:confused:

Same. Hey, sometimes you just gotta go where you go, and do what you do.
 
So here's something I'll admit to believing. It's possible to love sports too much. Like, to an unhealthy level.

I shouldn't care as much as I do about UNC sports. Taking an L in an Olympic (non-revenue?) sport hurts but only in the postseason. Every basketball and football loss is way worse. I love football more than basketball but no loss is as painful as losing to K and these bitches. It's THE RIVALRY. So I'm taking a night off, just to see what it feels like.

Please respect my journey (<--- I learned this in corporate diversity and inclusion. It's impenetrable. Come at me.)

I’m with ya. It frustrates me to no end to lose to dook but if it’s at cameron with the rat f-bombing the refs into submission, and seeing and hearing those twinkle-fingered nerds with their cheer sheets ... it really pisses me off. So it’s best for me to record it and watch if we win; delete if we lose.
 
Well, strum, I expected a response from you to my last post in this thread by now. Either something along the lines of "I'll be damn, I suppose there wasn't anything blatantly sinister behind Jack Ruby's actions after all" or a show of utter doubt. So which is it?

Both
 
What a cop out.
Well, I'm sorry. I didn't really read what you copied and pasted. I haven't read the full Warren Report and I don't plan to anytime soon. It's really not worth debating because, frankly, I don't give a shit who shot the man.

As I said before; If the Warren Commission Report satisfies you... that's great. I wouldn't trust any official government report or official government summation of anything. That's just me. If you do, that's great.
 
The Warren report along with everthing else should be enough for anybody
 
I somehow believe if UNC is winning, and I am wearing a certain shirt, or watching on a certain device I must keep watching, or wearing said device, or shirt. I have thoroughly tested this theory; everytime i change devices, or shirts we lose.

Copied and pasted?! Go f-ck yourself.

If my tutorial in American history is beyond your abilities of comprehension, fine, but don't falsely accuse me of plagiarism, you simpleminded schmuck. Admit it, you just hate being wrong all of the time.

Come "ere... lemme give you a hug and a kiss.

I love being wrong all the time.

Oh, and was that "your tutorial?" It wasn't "beyond my abilities of comprehension" because, as I said, I didn't take the time to even try to read it. Were you writing-out what the Warren Commission Report said? If that's what you were doing, then what's "right" about that? That's you repeating something you trust is the truth. Yay! As I said, for the 3rd time now; If you trust the WCR as the truth... great! It doesn't make you, or them, right or wrong. It means you trust their story.

Why wouldn't you take time to read it? Are you afraid of learning something? Maybe you forgot to fill your Adderall prescription this month? It was essentially five short paragraphs, concise enough that a middle schooler could ingest it in under a minute. I always read your somewhat long-winded posts when you're going on about the imminent demise of American football. I don't agree with your argument but at least my brain isn't too lazy to dip into a good dose of strumabsurdity.

My post came 90% from what I already know, but in order to be 100% accurate about the timeline I referred to two sources from my bookshelf: Gerald Posner's Case Closed and Vincent Bugliosi's 1612-page tome Reclaiming History. The timeline itself, while included in the publication of The Warren Report, is based on eyewitness accounts, Dallas Police records, and Western Union. I suppose those individual entities were all in cahoots as part of the official government cover-up, eh?

You condescendingly insult people who aren't as paranoid about the government as you, and then you do the same to every maladjusted neurotic who believes the oscillation of the tides is controlled by something other than nature. The sad part is, you're stuck somewhere in the middle in a hypercritical bullshit no man's land. You say you "make it a rule to never trust what 'the government' tells me"? Really? Bullshit! I'm sure you heed the weather forecast every now and then which means you allow NOAA and the National Weather Service, both government agencies, to dictate whether you wear shorts or a sweater or a raincoat, or when to cancel your beach trip because a hurricane is threatening the coast. You buy into what the government tells you more than you're even aware of, so check the superiority crap at the door, bud.

Okay... you win. You are absolutely right.
 
Well... This thread just took a left, and right turn.
That's a pretty good analogy, raider. Strum is like a 90-year-old Grandpa Grunt who has no business owning a driver's license, tooling down the highway and crossing back and forth between lanes while swearing at every other driver on the road.

LOL

I'm the exact opposite! haha
 
Hey, Strum, today's official weather forecast for your neck of the woods calls for a high in the 60s and mostly sunny. I guess you'll want to bundle up in your heavy winter coat, hat and gloves, and of course your galoshes.

Never fall victim to government lies!!

I'm relieved that you're finally trusting the Trump administration now. I was worried about you.
 
Neither do I. Especially the weather. They get that wrong a lot.
You specifically wrote I make it a rule to never trust what "the government" tells me. There is a significant difference between sometimes and never.

As for weather forecasts, I would say they nail it on the head or come close about 90% of the time, which isn't "getting it wrong a lot," especially when you consider all of the variables that come into play. Quit quibbling, you big whiner.

I never trust "the government" when it comes to entities like the FBI, the CIA, and the major parties. Those institutions have agendas. They have to maintain their control and stay relevant, no matter the cost. They do just as much harm as they do good, in my opinion. I'm trying to pinpoint the PARTICULAR factions of government that I would never trust. When I hear "the Weather", I don't consider that "the government."

I don't feel like I'm "whining" at all. You're a helluva lot more unhinged over this than I am. I've tried to acquiesce, and even concede that you're right, you win, you get the prize, whatever it takes so you feel better about it.

What about the Supreme Court? Do you trust their integrity and authority?
I trust that they are doing what they believe is right, or best, or whatever. I also believe they are just as prone to the same pitfalls of people in power. I like to believe they're doing their best. I like to believe that everyone is doing their best. However, when you get put into (or, especially when you seek-out) places of power, it gets much harder. And, their power and influence is a target for being bought.

Institutions like the CIA and FBI are literally built and borne out of deception. If you want to trust them, by all means, trust them. Stop trying to convince me that I should trust them. I'm not dragging this out trying to get you to stop trusting them.
 
I believe is that there really is a cure for cancer but it isn't being used because there is way to much money being made from treatments that don't work!

There's more money, in general, on people being sick than people being healthy. It's a stacked-deck when the motivation is already in the direction of "wanting" people to be unhealthy.

If you take doctors, one by one, I'm sure they want to do all they can to help people (most of them). But, the overall institution is sort of running on an objective to maintain sickness instead of health.

You trust they are doing their best, but then you lose faith and would only like to believe as much. Then you acknowledge they are prone to corruption, then conclude their judgments in America's highest court are up for sale.

Strum, I don't think you know if you're coming or going.

I've never bought into this conspiratorial theory, at least not on any widespread level. First, as we all know there is more than one form of cancer, with a multitude of different treatments and different cures. So saying "a cure for cancer" is a bit overly simplistic.

More than that, however, is the idea that while there are some unscrupulous people in this world who value the bottom line more than life itself, there are also more than enough individuals actively involved in research who can see more profit in saving millions of lives than mere dollars and cents. I believe these are the people who, if they are not the one actually finding such cures, would blow the whistle on anyone suppressing cures for financial gain.

It depends on if I am coming or going. I usually know then. Your knowing what I'm doing isn't really of much interest to me.

Are you implying they (Supreme Court Justices) are infallible? Did anything I say fall short of possibility? Do you believe that court appointees are NOT open to influence and corruption? Same with the FCC, or any department. I like to think they're not biased, but I know they are, and I know they have an agenda. Otherwise there'd be no conflict over the whole thing. Of course we, as citizens, HOPE they aren't. But, we know they do.
