To clarify that, the presidential elections of 2000 & 2004 were fixed
so that Bush could pay his way into the White House,
screwing the USA and the majority of Third World countries
twice over!

Evidence, ple ... uh ... hmm ... never mind.

:wink:



there is pretty good evidence....just the country is so lazy, they don't do anything. ohio was suspect and florida was VERY suspect (not to mention improper procedure throughout the whole thing in the state)

Oh, I'm not disputing any claims regarding the fraud that was perpetrated on the American people during the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. I just wish that there was something us lowly peons could do about it - something legal, that is.

there probably is but no one cares enough to do anything and at this point, it'd be more a symbolic apology to the world and short of delivering their heads on a stick, we'd still look as stupid as we collectively are.

already debunked as a fake.

Reading that article, it strikes me that just because someone can make an efficient modern replica, doesnt automatically mean that what they are copying is fake.

Yes, but just because someone says it is from Jesus, doesn't mean it is neccesarily true.

Quote:
Lets assume that we are speaking of the genuine offspring of god. The son a GOD. I think its quite feasible to reason that normal rules do not apply, especially when speaking of someone who rose from the dead 36 hours later. Why would anyone think that His image on anything would be formed by something as mundane as perspiration and facecream? Hasnt anyone noticed they are using scientific technique in the same sentence as resurrection from the dead? Am I the only one who finds this odd?

There is no consensus on what is its origin and how it was made, it has been suggested that it was created by Leonardo Davinci using a primitive form of photography, as an example.

Scientists have proved water is on Mars.

People who believe The Moon is made of cheese are very stupid.

Venezuela has the cheapest oil in the world.

Bosnia has the most expensive oil in the world.

A cloud of carbon dioxide DID kill roughly 1000 people
in the African country of Cameroon in 1984.

The 2000 election was a little odd since the electoral system backfired and someone made a big deal about how hard people punched their ballot. However I feel that the 2004 election was fully legit.

Regardless:

Secrete societies are very real, however they have much less control over world affairs then people think. And of course no one group (no, not even the freemasons) can really be said to "rule the world".

The moon landing was legit. However since we pretty much know everything about it at this point theirs no sense in going back unless we end up using it as a staging point for mars. I think NASA's constellation project will do just that.

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, who acted alone. Proper examination of the famous Zerpruder film, and the background of Oswald confirm this.

9/11 was not a government conspiracy. A government-planned operation would probably be rigged to have minimal loss of life but appear to be an attack anyways. Even staging a foiled attack of large enough scale could give sufficient justification to go to war.
