They're not imaginary rules. It's the standard for argumentation within any discussion. Anyone who has studied philosophy knows this.

If you want to be taken seriously with an accusation, you have to provide proper argumentation.

What's your point? That doesn't make your contentions devoid of accepted standards at all.

Your last two posts have made absolutely no sense at all to me.

Brenton, why will you still not answer any of the contentions made here regarding the conspiracy aspects of the Zeitgeist movement? You brush it away with "that has nothing to do with anything." Kind of like how Scientologists brush off criticisms of the Xenu stories claiming "that's not really Scientology." Um, yeah, it sort of is.

If conspiracy theories have nothing to do with the Venus Project or the Zeitgeist Movement, how come the Zeitgeist Movement shares the same name with a film that almost all viewers recognize immediately as a conspiracy film? I mean, seriously, you don't hear people say, "Oh, Zeitgeist, those were those movies about that Venus project thing." What you do hear is, "Oh, Zeitgeist...yeah, I learned from that movie that Jesus doesn't exist, 9/11 was an inside job and Jewish bankers control the world."

How do you explain this, and how come Mercorla or whatever his name really is continues to push these theories through his movies?

Because The Zeitgeist Movement doesn't have conspiracy aspects. The official Movement materials are our lectures, the orientation guide and any media posted on thezeitgeistmovement.com. Do you see ZI on there? No, you don't.

Because the name 'Zeitgeist' is now incredibly powerful and attracts a large audience. A different name means lots of people not being able to identify with it at all.

You hear a mixture. In my experience, most mention The Venus Project. ZII has definitely garnered a lot more attention than ZI.

how come Mercorla or whatever his name really is continues to push these theories through his movies?
He hasn't made a conspiracy film since ZI, so I don't know what you're talking about.

I think Brenton is unwilling to totally disregard the first movie because it appeals to his prejudices. Especially the first part.
Too bad for you that I'm incredibly sympathetic to Christianity in applicable forms.

I think you're incredibly sympathetic towards Christianity's ideals, but I don't believe you're sympathetic towards Christians at all. I've read a few posts of yours that give a much different impression than your reply.
Many of my friends are Christians mate. Again, too bad.

Look who is talking Mr. Homophobia as Leverage.

And notice yet again that rather than try and validate your contentions you turn the topic to me. Weak as hell.

Oh whatever, are you really going to try to claim that?

There were a number of times where I had to stop myself from telling you to quit being such a sissy when you were crying about being attacked. I was very careful with my language towards you.

You can kiss my ass Brenton. You know how many American liberals are willing to talk about homophobia in the black and Hispanic communities? Not very damn many. Real easy to talk about gay rights in ZM echo chamber, go tell people to share civil rights and then come accuse me of homophobia.

You asshole.

I don't believe you. You wouldn't have brought up my sexuality if you hadn't thought about behaving in a homophobic manner.

I'm not crying about. I'm just pointing out that people aren't capable of engaging in intelligent discussion if they have to revert to discussing me.

I certainly don't believe you. The only people I've seen bring up homophobia in that way are bona fide homophobes.

Not really. You wouldn't have brought it up in that context if you hadn't thought about it.

I don't think that and neither does The Venus Project. Sorry.

Nope. I just told you that based on experience the way you brought up homophobia would suggest that you are one yourself.

"You wouldn't have brought it up in that context if you hadn't thought about it."

So are you reading my thoughts or making a wrong assumption based on personal experiences?

Because it can't be both.

@Muertos: FINE! ;_;

Well you're wrong in this case. You can think I'm lying to save face on an Internet message board if you desire.

Now Muertos can yell at you for not answering because I am going to bed.
