    So what? Being born without sexual intercouse would no doubt be considered immaculate, due to the certain stigma surrounding sex as being impure, and we cant have our saviour coming into the world by such dirty behaviour.
    I mean shit, it's not like I called it the Alien Touchdown Conception.

    True. Weirdly funny to think that stigma was what probably started it all off.

    no i don't know where, but why do you need to download if you can just watch it?

    and relayer, what you said about Krishna; that some think he is made up so dumb people have a personification of a higher power...same thing with Jesus...yet another similarity

    so really, let's all stop paying taxes...they can't put us all in jail, can they?

    I have a strong feeling Zeitgeist is complete bullshit, I watched it a little over a year ago and was slightly worried/convinced of its validity, but I was still pretty skeptical. Then I took some government and law courses at school and realized that Zeitgeist was pretty uninformed. Of course all the things I learned at school could be bullshit, but I highly doubt it. People that make videos like "Loose Change" and "Zeitgeist" probably just haven't been to college yet.

    Maybe thats what they want you to think




    you really think the government wants you to know that the income tax amendment wasn't properly ratified?

    See now you're just sounding like a paranoid conspiracy nut, these professors have studied the tendencies of the economy and how it works for at least 6-8 years. And to get a doctorate in the field of economy, you have to have a fairly strong grasp on how the government operates. For EVERY professor at EVERY college for the past 40-50 years to not catch something like what these (more or less) "kids" are claiming in their shock video is extremely unlikely (you might have to read that sentence a few times for it to make sense, I can't word it much better than that haha).

    These professors (at least mine) designed the classes themselves, hell most of them even wrote the book that I read out of. So you can't be a conspiracy nut and say "duuude, the government just TELLS them what to teach." The professors have done all the research themselves and teach their findings. Now unless the government is involved in some kooky conspiracy that involves paying off college professors to keep their mouths shut about the "real truth" of taxes and all that other bullshit, there's no way Zeitgeist and Loose Change are the least bit plausible.

    I mean it's common sense, how the hell could it have not been caught before this, is our generation so arrogant to think that they're soooo much more intuitive and smarter than those before us? Do you think people didn't question the government years ago? Of course they did! To me, this just sounds like a classic case of jerks on the Internet trying to scare people about something that, if you think about it, and use your common sense, could never logically happen. You can believe it if you want, I'm just retorting the comment of "don't believe everything the government tells you" with the comment "don't believe everything a crazy conspiracy theorist tells you." Simple as that.
