What's the Craziest Thing You Really Believe?

You know, the thing you feel strongly about, but your friends all look at you a little funny over? For me, it's the super-secret ray-gun stuff... what's yours?

the effect.

is just the right woman for you." Pretty f*cking nuts, huh?

Nahhh, can't be.

<slaps self back to reality>

... disappointed with Star Wars Episode 3.

TlalocW

you are naive aren't you?

I mean really, when's the last time the gubmint did something ahead of schedule and under budget?

:D
couldn't resist

On time and under budget O8)

I believe that the controllers of GW have no qualms about smacking him around in order to try to train him to remember the lies the make him say and also out of pure frustration in dealing with such an idiot. Hence limited press appearences and a lot of taped audio and taped video to test the make-up and to see if his injuries show up.

for people to be more sensitive to one another.

Almost, but not quite.

from the same conceptual underpinning.

They spliced some of their DNA with that of some chimps in order to have some semi-intelligent creatures to make the show more interesting. They also like to start wars amongst us in order to keep the ratings high.

really is hidden up Cartman's ass. And the underwear gnomes really do make off with my underwear in the middle of the night.

...is that the USA needs to be split into 5-10 nations.

Harvey Milk and George Moscone (sp?) were silenced because of their knowledge of Jonestown's true purpose.

Also, that Pope John Paul 1 was murdered by the P-2 Lodge of the Freemasonic Order.

I still do it, just in case, like the way some people go to church, but I'm pretty sure it's not really doing much good.

i have.....trust me...wash your fruits and veggies.

but I don't think I'll ever truly believe it's doing any good. If there's something bad on it, is running it under the faucet for a few seconds going to get it off?

I realize I'm probably wrong. When I was a very small kid, I was convinced that you only really had to look one way before crossing the street. I forget what my logic was, but I thought looking both ways was somehow redundant.

For some reason, others look at me funny for that. It's not that I don't believe evil exists or that all people are good without exception, but most people seem to think I'm naively crazy.

People's actions and moods are determined by their environments and situations. As those factors change during the course of a few moments even, our character is transformed.

I think Shakespeare was the 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere.

I think Jesus Christ was not a historical person, but is entirely mythological.

(Good question you're posing. I've been wanting to ask the very same one.)

And they, with Jesus, helped write "A Course in Miracles".

and also that recreational drugs should be legalized, controlled, taxed. BTW I am not a prostitute and I have never taken an illegal drug (yet... give me time). No one has been able to make a case to me that there is something wrong with either of these activities, and it's my belief that their illegality causes far more problems, and costs far more money, than their being legal would cause.

Excuse me, now, I have to go feed the 5" tall spaceman that lives in my garden shed. If I don't feed him daily, he bothers the cats with his ray gun.

..and tells me to kill people.

Kill.

Kill.

and that despite our many failures toward achieveing it, humanity will realize that we all are one and are one with the earth and we will stop killing ourselves and each other and our planet. :hippie:

the amount of matter contained in one far exceeds the physical limitations of it's size.

I think you may be right...

stuffed animals have feelings. I really, really do believe this. I even get sad when I see stuffed animals thrown into a heap at Goodwill or flea markets.

So I'm a little nuts.

I confess, I've rescued many abandoned stuffed buddies and given them to my kids after a good washing.

But as in the child's book, I think it's the love we give to inanimate objects which makes them real.

bringing up the velveteen rabbit. and I was having a good day, too. thanks.

And then when we saw them so lonely on the shelf - we bought them back!!!

and that the enviroment shouldn't be filled with poisons.

...or (any combination of numbers that add up to 9) is evil and unlucky--for me.

Hey, you said crazy!

Actually I know this because when I was on the Mothership, we visited there once and I saw for myself.

can you find my brown dress socks. I've bought countless pairs only have them all vanish. Tell your alien buddies to steal some black ones and leave me one frickin pair of brown.

when you wash and dry them, you'll never lose any more. Saturn will suffer, but you won't.

I am as convinced of their existence as I am of my own.

I had one that really wanted me out of its house. Scared the piss out of me. I have a few ghost stories actually. PM me if you want to trade.

but many others KNOW better...and sure,I'd love to hear your ghost stories:)

maybe around Halloween we could have a ghost story thread in the Meeting Room... TRUE ghost stories only, or even better, ones we've experienced personally.

OK, THAT and legalize prostitution and legalize drugs (see #21 above).

>coff<

I keep getting stared at when I say this.

without speaking, without seeing each other...simply with our thoughts. Like those times when friends call right after we've been thinking about them.

altruism


I end up not only failing to benefit myself, but end up getting screwed for having done the right thing more often than not.

But I keep doing it.

When driving, the more polite I am (letting drivers out of side roads, etc) the faster my journey goes. The good car-ma gets paid back straight away.

It works! I swear!

Unfortunately, I can't do it consistently

and one for good measure or it won't go off in the morning.

I've tested this theory...scientifically---really.

that gets me weird looks all the time.

yeah...i know alot of other people believe this too, but its odd for me since I consider myself such an Enlightenement rationalist type.

eom

n/t

youngred lives inside my pants.

1) I believe that magick, from folkways to ceremonial, is real and can affect change in the universe.
2) I believe that there is significance in acts of kindness no matter how small they seem. I believe these acts can be for people or animals.
3) I believe that the 2nd Amendment does include sub machine guns and other such select fire weapons, to law abiding citizens of course.
4) I believe that Kurt Cobain, the lead singer/song writer of Nirvana, was probably murdered.
5) I believe, especially after recently re-reading George Orwell's "Road to Wigan Pier" and "Homage to Catalonia" that the US is heading for some bad times. Buy a rifle, ammo, and keep basic supplies on hand.

us when we are on the other side before we incarnate over here- in order to learn whatever lessons we need to learn in this life and hopefully evolve to the highest state or Nirvana.

...that Catherine Zeta-Jones loves me! Really, how could she not?

Seriously, I think that viewed from the outside (whatever that means) that the Universe doesn't exist.

I believe that the order for 9-11 was put into motion as soon as the election was decided and that it was ordered in retaliation for the first Gulf war (in general) and the US presence in the ME (Specifically). I believe that if Gore had properly won the election, 9-11 would have never happened and even though * LIHOP, his "election" was the "go" trigger to the terrorists.

I also am waiting for someone on the national stage to point out that maybe for the health of the country we should not be electing people that raise such ire in a very crazy few that they go flying airplanes into buildings, in fact, imho, no one even remotely connected (even through just family) to the oil industry should be anywhere near public office.

I also believe that the * administration/9-11 investigation knows this, but would never release the info.

I also believe in Sooner Magic.

"This is my band, Sexual Chocolate! Give it up!"

:-)

Sorry......obviously oil, devastation and war are our future, children are merely a sustainable source of food.

P.

that is the ocean---I know its loony but I believe that imersion in it or even smelling it is helpful for a lot of illnesses. I also think tht sitting and listening to waves and watching them will cure depression (temporarily at least)

Why? I don't know. Maybe its growing up in northern NE and knowing that a case of poison ivy usually was a long way toward cured if we happened to go to the beach!

My husband finds this belief very amusing but as he says: who knows, you may be on to something!

Absolutely trivial, but quite complex, events, to multiple fine details.

Then it never happened again.

Oh, yeah, and ghosts/spritualism, but I lived in Appalachia for several years.

and would be a more humane world.

Flame me, I don't care.

I can tell you who's calling without looking at the caller ID...I have dreams that happen within the next week. I can't tell you who you'll marry, but I can tell you certain things about your life. :think: It's weird.
I also believe in Ghosts and stuff. My dad haunts my mom's house. It's where he died. He turns lights on and off, and he moves stuff around. And there's a Ghost house in Kingfisher Oklahoma that has been torn down, but if you go drive by it at night, you'll see lights where the windows used to be. It's freaky. :scared:
I believe one day we'll all stop fighting over dirt and start loving each other like we are supposed to. :loveya:
I believe people are mostly good, and the bad only makes the good that much more good. And that's all that keeps me going and sleeping at night.
I believe we ought to kill all child molestors because they are incurable, and have no value here on earth. :grr:
I also believe the democrats are superior because we care about others, animals, the enviroment, and we try to take care of all of them. Maybe this sounds naive, but I truly believe that we'll win in the end. :hippie:
Duckie

that includes bush, inc. that's :scared:

are killing society. ALL of em. Jesus and dudes like him had the right idea...if he was real, which I don't know. That Paul/Saul guy screwed up everything.

That we as a human race used to be a helluva lot smarter.And kinder.

That conspiracies mentioned and chewed on here are in general not only right, but probably much WORSE.

That America will fall as did the Roman Empire, only much further. Karma.

Outside forces.


That earth is a school, and some of us are failing miserably! No, not really. Without suffering, there can be no compassion. But I believe those outside forces are screwing with us BAD!

I should know better. But on some level I am absolutely, 100% certain that the nature of people is good, and that the evil they do is an aberration; and that there is no one who can't change. I believe this despite a complete lack of scientific proof, and in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

:evilgrin:

I thought you moved out of Seattle to get away from *me*!

Tucker

Any evil comes directly from our environment. In a culture that rewards greed and competition, there are going to be a lot of greedy and competitive people. I seriously believe that a society that rewards love and equality will be full of loving, fair people.

Unfortunately, in all of human history such a society has never existed. Logically, I know it can't exist because humanity is so aggressive and power-hungry.

But emotionally, I can't shake the feeling that individual humans, one-on-one, without exception, all have the capacity to become wonderful, kind, caring people.

The contradiction between head and heart is staggering.

Tucker

sigh.

I'm always out looking for that perfect cosmetic that will turn me into Catherine Zeta-Jones or Milla Jovovich. You've probably already guessed that I haven't found it yet.

(However, I did find a few that turned me into Ernest Borgnine! All I can say is, never buy generic skin care products)

the only color that works 24/7 for me :D it turns me into a irresitable MAC diva...that,and a little cleavage.
i know you are a total cutie, susang :7

I am writing a story about that now. When it's done I'll find a way to get it to all my DU pals.

I think he was trained by Darth Sideous himself. (Unless you're a big "Star Wars" like I am, you probably don't get the joke.)

and they don't like me, so they run away.
