Quote from: "BeTheChange"I agree that the beauty of a forum like this is that we get to see a whole myriad of ‘colors’ in the different personalities and perspectives. What I don’t agree with is that it is ever ‘ok’ to dismiss someone, or say an unkind word, or be rude. Is it difficult at times to keep emotions at bay? Of course. Am I perfect? Far from it...I am probably the least ‘perfect’ here. But that doesn’t mean that we should just accept violence because we haven’t learned to overcome it.I’m not sure if any of you have ever heard, or read, Krishnamurti (he is the gentleman who you see giving a speech at the beginning of Zeitgeist). He is someone whom I admire tremendously and who stands as a prime example of “one of the greats” that everyone should “study”. There are plenty of youtube videos of him, as well as a wealth of books by him, for anyone interested. Here’s a quote from him about violence:“Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper...”I am in no way suggesting that anyone should be a ‘doormat’ and have people walk all over them. There will always be people that come at you or try to disturb your peace of mind. But there are ways of getting your point(s) across without resorting to ridicule, dismissal, and/or rudeness. In fact, it takes much more strength of character to rise above anger than to give in to it. How are we supposed to ‘change the world’ or ‘make that change’ if we cannot even remain respectful on a forum (no less dedicated to a man who stood for peace)? As for building an army...if I were the one building it...I would much rather have soldiers that do not ‘react’ in anger as soon as the wind changes direction...because they may inadvertently shoot the one(s) whom they are trying to defend.With L.O.V.E. always.overreaction.IF cotw was Michael Jackson and he came here to say he's dead... then I'm proud as hell that I had the guts to stand up and tell him to GET LOST.And all the wet blankets that wanted to hear him out about how *he* was dead....? In my opinion FAILED that test.If you're gonna go through 15 months of clues and inconsistencies and discrepancies and then throw it all away because some ANONYMOUS source spouts off a bunch of 3rd hand knowledge, well, you FAIL.

Seriously, I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time...Prejudice IS ignorance, you just proved that. Before you judge - READ IT ALL, instead of quitting after TIAI Revealed, Part 3. You have 19 more posts to go. Let the evidence speak for itself, and then come back to talk about people screwing around and someone losing his credibility unless he reveals himself.
