    Okay, let's be serious.

    Suppose you do see everything the elite have going on?

    What's the harm enjoying your life?

    I mean, honestly, what do you recommend - sitting at home with shades drawn and fretting?

    Please tell me what you suggest.

    Enjoying life means different things to different people. For some it means accumulating wealth and material things. For some it means getting wasted everynight. For some it means actually living life by gaining knowledge and wisdom about the world you're living in, while hopefully gaining insight into yourself in the process. For most people ignorance truly is bliss, but some people (albeit few) prefer to go through life conscious as opposed to in a perpetual dream state. My enjoyment in life comes from understanding my existence as opposed to immersing myself in all the mindless entertainment designed to keep people in an ignorant, easily controllable and docile state.

    Well, the conscious still deserve a little vacation and fun time. Wouldn't you agree?

    Of course, and I would not argue against that. I like having a bit of mindless fun from time to time. I just don't make a steady diet of it. Most people enjoy living in a state of perpetual adolescense, whereas some people prefer a little more substance outside of what's put in our faces. There is a time and a place for fun.

    Always aware here of everything...but what is the point in concentrating on reality others have imposed on others.....? The world is full of choices......cut what does not work....gravitate towards what does and create your own reality....others do. Why should anyone live their lives in their shadows.......I have my own light to shine....That is how I look at it.....follower here...no way.....never.

    I'm going to need you to substantiate that claim with some viable statistics.

    People with doomsday messages are never worth the attention of logical individuals, for the messages being presented are in no way ever logical. The OP is a prime example; a bunch of hooey with no substance.

    As long as no silly doomsday messages are involved, go ahead.

    Having fun and enjoying yourself, even if it means not concerning yourself with things beyond your control, is still preferable to wasting your life on ridiculous conspiracy theories, paranoia and ineffectual cynicism.

    Just because you think it's 'truth and wisdom' or 'substance', that doesn't make it so... and being stubborn about it and dismissing anyone who doesn't agree isn't going to help you to figure anything out.

    That is your opinion. That is not my opinion.

    As for the second sentence, the exact same thing could be applied to yourself. Hypocritical, perhaps?

    Why are you posting in this forum then? The question applies to everyone who takes issue with so-called conspiracies, yet is adamant on posting in a conspiracy forum anyway.

    If alternative viewpoints annoy some of you so much, then why the fuck do you read these threads, much less take the time and effort to respond to them?

    It looks like you're the one who's being dismissive since you're the one posting in a forum which has opinions you're at odds with.

    It's not alternative viewpoints in general, PR. You kind of make it sound like that (or maybe I just read it like that but still). It are certain specific viewpoints that just happen to be alternative for one reason or another (but mostly it seems because they fit in the conspiracy box).
    Why do people read such threads (and post in them), out of interest me thinks. Interested to see if the poster actually makes some sense, and if not completely how he handles some critical questions. Kind of a strange question. You really can not see why people post in threads with topics they have a conflicting opinion about? ;)

    Of course it's an opinion.

    And yes, the second sentence can be applied to me... but I'm pretty certain that I put a lot more effort into backing up my comments than you do.

    You're right that people are allowed to be as clueless and as they want to be... but it's telling that you chose the 'if you don't like it, leave' route instead of actually responding to my criticisms.

    Have a great time being the champion of freedom and truth while the rest of us blindly regurgitate whatever the mainstream media tells us to. Since everything is so black and white, I guess it's the only possible thing to do.

    I wish I lived In Middle earth. At least there it really was black and white. JK! I would not like such an unnuanced and simplified reality.

    Maybe you need to move man. I feel really bad for you if you think there's no communities

    I am part of a community so I know there are communities.

    I agree with the various posters who have said to create your own reality. The system we live in is bullshit for the most part, I choose not to buy into.it as much as possible but I also choose not to devote my life learning all the depressing, anger inducing intricacies of it. Its a system upheld by men who choose to create their own greedy, fucked up reality - if you spend your whole life delving into conspiracy theories at the cost of your own enjoyment and happiness aren't you giving up your own power to the powers that be?

    the only way to truly be free is to create your own world and focus on what makes you happy.

    The Forum is Mind Trips.

    That makes it pretty plain where Hip Forums stands on Conspiracy Theories; doesn't it?

    It's not like Conspiracy is in the Latest News category.
