Don't argue. Just say "Yes, you're right!" That will drive them mad. [:D] My stepmother told her father to say that to her older sister who tried to boss him and others. [:D]

One conspiracy theory I can certainly buy into as of late, is that our civilization is slowly and insidiously being taken over......by dumb people.

Zovs -> RE: How do you deal with nutcases at work (5/5/2021 9:51:09 AM)
Well you just have to ask your self “ Are you going to take the Red Pill or the Blue Pill?”

I dont have that problem I am retired. Unfortunately for me right now I am in rehab and my room mate keeps fox news on 24 hours a day. I am conservative but generally dont watch any news, to biased to depressing.

Everyone has a right to voice their opinions. Everyone also has a right to politely not listen. Excuse me, but I have something I need to.

This is no conspiracy theory - it is a proven fact. Not dumb people but rather ignorant people. Willfully ignorant since many of them do not want to do their own research and thinking. Some people have appeared to be punished for thinking differently than what someone in charge wants them to think. Many people also don't like to discuss a banned topic here.

My favorites scene in the movie is where Joe is trying to convince the Cabinet Secretaries to put water on the plants. The sad part is that I have had real life conversations where the individual used similarly circular reasoning. quote: Joe: For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff. Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes. Attorney General: So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops. Joe: Yes. Attorney General: Water. Like out the toilet? Joe: Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea. Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. Attorney General: It's got electrolytes. Joe: Okay, look. The plants aren't growing, so I'm pretty sure that the Brawndo's not working. Now, I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow. Secretary of Energy: Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet. Secretary of State: Hey, that's good. You sure you ain't the smartest guy in the world? Joe: Okay, look. You wanna solve this problem. I wanna get my pardon. So why don't we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave? Attorney General: Brawndo's got what plants crave. Secretary of Energy: Yeah, it's got electrolytes. Joe: What are electrolytes? Do you even know? Secretary of State: It's what they use to make Brawndo. Joe: Yeah, but why do they use them to make Brawndo? Secretary of Defense: 'Cause Brawndo's got electrolytes.

I want to take some old toilets, fill the bowl and tanks with dirt, then put flowers in them in the front yard. [8D] Those electrolytes might be too much for the plants, it can kill them.

Yeah, I have a woman who is always whining about how her brother tells her conspiracy theories. Hey lady, I don't care. My boss and I have a good relationship. She knows I'm not "telling on someone" because I know she won't do anything to her. She got a good laugh about the conspiracy theories. Apparently the same woman has complained about people talking about politics. LIKE SHE DOES.

As soon as someone says "You need to do your own research" I see a red flag. It's usually followed by a push to visit some quacks' YouTube channel that will explain all about the Rothschilds and the Lizard people and how "The Jews" are running everything..........[8\|] Turn away and ignore them, they cant be reasoned with.

We can all trust David Glantz, his research is impeccable.

“There was no telling what people might find out once they felt free to ask whatever questions they wanted to.” ...maybe some people are more affected by the disconnect between what they are told and what they see and experience? Not a few conspiracies turn out to be fact, not a few facts turn out to be lies. I don’t blame people for thinking. You don’t have to listen, nor agree, but that does not make you wise nor them fools (or the other way around). i’d suggest keeping an open mind.

Zovs -> RE: How do you deal with nutcases at work (5/6/2021 11:41:17 AM)
The definition of conspiracy is meeting and plans done in secret, that happens all the time in the government, it’s all one big conspiracy.
