I think that one of the problems is you are not interested in disagreement at all.

it is not enough that I win; everyone else must lose - Genghis Khan


I have been found wrong on several occasions here. There are 2 responses I could have

Absolute denial

or

Reexamine the facts.

I'm not an expert on everything, and those that are experts on given fields have corrected me on more than one occasion; graciously, politely, but definitely...;) I consider them learning experiences, and feel smarter afterwards.

I have a gimlet eye towards conspiracies; if they work, we don't hear about them, and if we hear about them, they're not working.

I suspend belief that the same government that did Bay of Pigs, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Abu Ghreib has the coordination to pull off...missile attacks?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidenct - scientific maxim.

You could be right, but it would need more proof. If you can document it, we're all ears.

I can do reiki from across the room with no problem.
I guess it is rather hard to find a reiki master as good as mine.

Reiki does not cause the need for regular medication to fade.
Reiki can reduce the needed medication by speeding up the healing process, yes it can.
Here recently I used reiki on my cousin in the hospital.
He is doing better now but he is still a jerk who hates my guts.


...in your form and practice, mmstick. If you wish to discuss things, then you must keep an open mind as well; if you will notice, I specified that it was in conjunction with a physical therapist to help alleviate the problems without the addition of more medication. The individual who has worked on me has been extensively trained; while they may be different, I don't accept your dismissiveness of how another does their practice. And in my experience, proximity had a beneficial effect. C'est la vie.

I do not represent myself with experience nor do I represent myself as a figure who is older. Even my profile can say- Age: 15.


Now you say you're age is a lie? So how can we believe anything you write?

Yeah.. 15 was a tough age for me too. Seriously, I was pretty volatile, and I'm a pretty laid back guy.

mmstick, if you can't handle the criticism and the fact that people just won't believe you, then the politics forum is definitely not the place for you, sorry man.

Hmm, it does seem like I've really matured in two years, because when I was 15 I came across as more rude and stupid than right now. However, I think argument from age is an incredibly bad argument. I might as well claim old people suffer from senility or something.


Age really changes you as a person. When you reach the ripe old age of 25 you'll see the world different than you do now. It's unavoidable.

What? What points to the fact that I said that I am lying at my age. My profile says: Age 15
My Xfire profile says. Age 15.
Look it up please.

What I was saying was that I know older people have experience. That is why I listen to all adults.
In school I did everything my teachers told me to. I was the only one in class who actually listened to people.
I do nothing but listen to people. The information I give is from older people! I didn't conjure any of this stuff myself.
This comes from the minds of my elders.

I've started threads about psychic ability's and gotten the same response.
People are entitled to voice there opinion's but if they are personally attacking you just pm a mod.

But I don't want you to leave I want you to stay and make more topics about the paranormal.

I enjoy such things a lot!! !! !

I do a form of healing that involves telekinesis and remote viewing. I know some people don't believe me. But I heal all that time and the people I heal believe and I believe and that's all that matters.

I don't come on forum's to prove myself and when people ask for proof I never provide it.

The reason for this is because 1, I don't feel I have to justify my beliefs 2, they wouldn't change there view if I did prove to them, and 3,I save my healing ability's for those who need it and use it for healing rather then proving something.

and I offer my services for free to any member her who need help. just pm me .

You should ignore the people who try to debunk you eventually they will go away and can continue your thread without arguments.

I'm 25 and I still feel like screaming my head off sometimes.

One thing that can make people angry is pain. It's not always their own immaturity.

That would be awful!! ! I get the feeling mmstick will hang out for a while more though. Just hope the c*nts that have 20 years or so on him will retract their teeth a bit and not keep trying to big up their own flaky egos.

I've been swearing off these dumb troll societies for two years now. I find that I gravitate back to them with ever decreasing frequency, so don't feel discouraged if you relapse. It takes time to break away from very bad habits.

I've had individuals endeavor spend weeks tearing me down in any way that they could, no matter how underhanded they had to be. They like trying to make my views look bad by getting me to behave like a distraught emotional wreck. Believe me, I know where you are coming from.

Quote:

About half the people on these dumb boards ARE nothing but repugnant trolls. I've already encountered one here. You know what that jerk did? Honestly? He took a phrase where I dismissed the idea of treating people as subhuman or undesirable as inherently ridiculous, and he trimmed it so it would look like I was being arrogantly dismissive toward a legit argument that I actually agreed with. I honestly don't understand people who were born with no conscience at all.

The only credit to his name is that he isn't nearly the worst bottom-feeder I've run into. I've met some who have turned mendacity into an artform. One time I had one of those fools convince everyone else on the forum that I held some horrible view that I didn't, and after that every post I made there was ignored except by him and other trolls who liked to pick on people they knew they could screw with.

That's why I was as harsh as I was on that guy. After you've run into enough people like that, you realize it doesn't pay to be soft on them. Anytime you do, you just get burned.

Welcome to Pet Peeve Land. And frankly I've known a number of NT people who have more of the beneficial qualities of AS than most of the schmucks I've run into here.

Whoa. Okay, warning: intelligent thought ahead. Brace yourself.

Next time you see your therapist, ask him or her to help you work on the 'theory of mind' issue that comes with AS. Maybe this stuff actually does work for you, but nobody here has that information. All they have for it is your word. Against that, they have a great deal of information that tells them this stuff is utterly impossible and totally disproven. I don't know whether you are telling the truth, making it up, or just victim of wishful thinking. I really don't, and I ask you to be understanding if I go by ALL of the information I have at my disposal, NOT JUST your word of honor. I honestly mean no offense in being skeptical of this kind of thing. I have said the same thing to Christians who feel devastated because I did not convert to their beliefs after they made a noble demonstration of their faith.

It sounds like you have been treated unfairly. Buddy, I have been there. I truly have, and I know your hurt.

AND WILL YOU IDIOTS STOP CALLING ME A SCHIZOPHRENIAC! I HAVE A PROFESSIONAL ASPERGER'S DIAGNOSIS AND I AM NOT A SCHIZ!
They were trying to call you schiz? You are right: that is pretty low, man. The worst thing you can do with a REAL schizophrenic is to be all harsh toward him over his delusions. The way they were treating you tells me they didn't think this at all. They were just low, miserable people who really were born without any conscience. I've run into a few too many people like that.

And the worst thing is that I'm usually too tender-hearted to try to fight back. I just get upset, and I self-destruct. The kind of people you are talking about are the kind of people who like to take advantage of other people's decency. They see any kind of honesty or kind-heartedness as a weakness in you that they can use to take you for a ride. They are like those fools who have contempt toward people who are charitable and trusting yet spend every minute of their lives trying to see how they can take advantage of them. There just aren't harsh enough words, man.

A lot of these troll societies also have a case of TPS (Tall Poppy Syndrome). I've had cases where unruly mobs would try to accuse me of being "pompous" because I used too many big words, and I've even been attacked for using peer reviewed journals to support my views instead of arguing with the dubious news articles they preferred to use. I've see it all, man. You get some real bottom-feeders around these kinds of places. They like to set a low standard because they know they're pathetic in an honest discussion.

I notice that guy has posted recently on that thread where I ripped on him. I wonder what he's said to try to weasel out of his BS now. The only good thing I'll say about the guy is that I don't think he's been at this crap long enough to develop any skill at doing it. I only hope he comes to his senses soon and realizes the kind of path he's on. I hate people who are calculating like that. I hate them. I honestly hate their guts. I don't like to be like that, but I don't know how else to think about someone who wants to be that kind of bottom-feeder.

People who are tender-hearted by nature haven't taken time to learn the calculus of being cruel toward other people. When negative emotions come out, they come out very messily. It ends up degenerating into screaming, shouting, and stomping of feet. Trolls like to single out people like that because it makes honest people look bad.

I've seen how bonafide lowlifes operate, man. They don't get like that because, when they take a shine to hurting someone, they feel like a dog chasing a rabbit. They don't get mad or upset because they get some kind of sick thrill out of causing social humiliation for a perfectly decent human being. It's how they get their rocks of, so they aren't losing control. Real goons are always like that. One thing that makes me sick is seeing demented pieces of filth screwing with people who are inherently better than themselves. It makes me sick, sick, sick.

When you encounter people who react like that kid did when a troll is on them, take it at as a good sign about that person's character. It means maybe there's something there that deserves some kind of love.

Trolls are a kind of sub-human vermin. If you don't keep them down, they take over, and they lord it over everybody. I've seen good boards go down because a bunch of those goons managed to cozy up to the admins. You'd be surprised at how often that kind of thing happens. One thing about people who are born with no honor at all is that they always have a kind of superficial charm. It's all schmoozing, but sometimes good people fall for it. I'm for real, man. I've seen them take whole communities down and leave the forums barren except for them and their cronies. They destroy everything they touch. The really sick thing is that they know it. The only thing that gives them more pleasure than messing up a good thing is knowing how much it makes decent people feel sick to their stomachs.

Hey, if you don't like what I research then don't flame it.
I just wanted to talk about my experiences at first to see if anyone else has any similarities.
Well I was wrong. none at all. I just get called delusional and delirious.
So I want to talk about those 600+ areas across the US that FEMA has placed millions of plastic containers in case of a biological attack.
I gather summaries from various sites and place comments from myself beneath each one.
What do I get!? I GET MY POST DEMOLISHED THAT'S WHAT!
ALL OF IT! PFFT! FORGET YOU IGNORANT JERKS!
So I have an open mind and I see that the 9/11 attacks don't add up.
I submit a video showing all of the official records (there isn't any unofficial records. wonder why :roll:) and it even had trajectories, lines, angles for the simpletons who need to have things pointed out to them. Flame. Nothing but flame.
Every time I post something I just feel worse and worse. You know what.
I think I would rather leave this ignorant place and stick with my friends at Xfire.
I see how people tend to discriminate NT's here. Stop calling them that. They are humans nonetheless.
My NT friends on Xfire have a general overall intelligence much higher than the crap I get here.
Why because instead of being closed minded and ignorant, they are open minded and think critically.

:cry:


you know why there are wars?

because your fellow-man isnt as easily convinced, as your other fellow-man would hope.

thats why palestinians go "hey, give us some land. we promise, we will use it wisely." and the israelis go "scew that, we got this land fair and square, as a gift!" and they are now resorting to qassams and merkavas.

you arent gonna yell people into submission here, in palestine, or anywhere else.
state your opinion, let others state theirs. if you dont like it, join the army, and wait for the war.

for the record, i have no idea who you are, and i think todays world is full of backstabbing conspiracies. why wouldnt there be conspiracies? its human nature to rip everyone off, and keep horrible secrets.
breathe in, breathe out, keep posting :]

This warrants repeating.

Ive learned this the hard way on an old forum where even the moderators are trolls.

This quote is important to remember mmstick. If you keep this quote in mind every time you are personally attacked you can remember they are just doing it to make YOU look bad.

Don't let them get the pleasure of it, just pm a mod.
I have seen alot of trolls try to get me to respond this way. I don't respond at all, I just pm a mod and they are extremely helpful and WILL deal with it as soon as they get the pm. They don't mind if you pm them every time you have a problem , they actually prefer it. And they WILL deal with it fairly.

I have found the mods here to be pleasant and very understand and fair. They don't pick favorites and treat everyone with respect.

I hope you can get through his rough patch, I wish you luck mmstick!! stick around you make nice topics!! !! !! !! !

I think internet forums are pretty horrible by nature everywhere you go. You are often dealing with distasteful personality disorders, groupthink or just the miscommunications that come from typed conversation. Many people just can't accept that people are disagreeing with them. It escalates and escalates.

Political forums are the worst. I find both right and left political boards just too full of one track thinking. Discussing issues tends not to be welcome as they expect rote agreement and often get confused if you want to kick the ball around. They are largely for the choir and they only want preaching.

But 9/11 conspiracy is frowned upon on most sites. Ive seen it get people banned on several sites. I think there was a time there when 9/11 conspiracy fans were hijacking threads left and right and steering them to their favorite subject. I don't mind a specific thread for it, I just dont want to participate.
