Emerson, Thoreau and even H. L. Mencken

Morihei Ueshiba, Lao Tzu, Rumi, there are really just too many to list

Bill Hicks was big Chomsky fan btw, ironically (in some senses).

I'm thinking that perhaps that was before Chomsky became a left-leaning gatekeeper.

Remember, even Alan Greenspan used to speak out in opposition to the Federal Reserve and then look where he wound up.

I think that they often try to bribe you before they try to silence you through other means. They have plenty of slush-funds to do that with so that part of it is definitely not a problem.

My friend's dad was offered like $500K just to spy on the Venezuelan's and it wasn't until he turned them down a second time that things got ugly for him (i.e. - physical, political and economic retribution.)

That's because it was actually from the 19th century. If you had clicked on it you might have noticed (on the following page) the link that says, "Who's this in the picture?"

Seriously. Every time he comes back to the PDD he proliferates the front page with threads that he posts the same quotes, insults, and apocalyptic jeremiad bullshit in.

Any time I can shill out misleading information to all the sheeple on behalf of the global government, I leap at the opportunity!

This is by no means a comprehensive list, but here's some awesome stuff that came from China: Paper, gunpowder, the compass, early printing, Lucy Liu, Toothbrush, Kelly Hu, Porcelain, Lynn Chen, Suspension Bridges, Kung Fu, and Jackie Chan

What about Bruce Lee?




Posted by Trancer-X on Apr-06-2008 10:27:

I like how the perception management clowns follow me from thread to thread and then complain about my posts. lol

It's just good to know that I have such diehard critics as well as fans

He's Turkish. Have you seen him speak?


Posted by Trancer-X on Apr-07-2008 01:22:

The Count of St Germain, Sabbatai Zevi (before he thought he was a messiah) and Athanasius Kircher

didn't really understand the nature of this thread did we? must be because you're far too intelligent to grasp such simple concepts.


Posted by Trancer-X on Apr-07-2008 01:54:

It's not hard to see that people are just trying to bring you down to their disturbingly low levels when they proceed to follow you from thread to thread, casting pointless and baseless insults.

I didn't even have to click on that ignored post to know that's probably all that it is.


Posted by Trancer-X on Apr-07-2008 01:58:

more...


Arthur Schopenhauer, Francis Bacon and Robert Fludd

Are you really that small of a person that I've grown to be so important in your life?

Aside from simply having you on ignore, I don't even have to click on your posts because I know that you couldn't possibly have anything even remotely intelligent to add here.

All you ever spout is flamebaiting blather and it's really pathetic.


Posted by Trancer-X on Apr-07-2008 02:16:

Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy), Jacques de Molay and Raymond VI of Toulouse


Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Apr-07-2008 02:19:

Just my way of pointing out that this thread is about choosing 3 people, and only 3, to have dinner with. The thread title isn't "if youre trancer, please keep posting and posting and posting any and every person you've ever encountered to defeat the entire purpose of this thread".

Ibn al-Haytham - the pioneer of the scientific method.

Stephen Hawking - you all know who he is.

Oh noooes, Shaolin you are way out of bounds!! The thought police are going to come and get you for blatant disregarding the thread title!!

Watch out

You use "thought police" in such an interesting way - I'm pretty sure this whole argument started because you were the one saying only certain beliefs are ideologically acceptable for intelligent people to have. If that's not thought policing... well shit, I need a new dictionary.
