"extremely zealous complacency"? Like that makes a lot of sense.
You guys can't even admit when you get your grammar wrong. Any serious debate is hopeless.
Yea... sorry. At work and lazy.
Anyhow... rabid complacency...
rabid means violently intense.
complacency is satisfaction with an existing situation.
[if you're gonna knock my grammar you might wanna check dictionary.com]
so... rabid complacency would be an intense contentedness with a situation, to the point of being irrational.
SOOO... lets get back on to my small point.
I was just trying to say that it is just as silly to be intensely content with a situation to the point that you block out any rational counterpoint, as it is to be in intense disbelief of any situation to the point of making conspiracy theories.
Sorry... I guess I was a little too obscure.
*EDIT* for the record, I never said my grammar wasn't wrong... it was and is. I'm at work, and trying to talk on the phone whilst rattling these off. Sorry.

"Rational" being the key word. The 9-11 conspiracy theory is SO absurd, SO outlandish, on SO MANY levels, it's beyond being open to "rational" debate, IMHO.

Well, "for the record" grammar and spelling, are two different things. You might want to use "dictionary.com" to look up the difference.

Debating you and your little dorky friends about your conspiracy theories is all good and well, but I'll choose when and where I put up personal information about myself on the Internet, not anyone else!
So take the reference to my age that's in your post (Junior's quote) OUT of the quote. I already told him to take it out of his post too. It violates board rules anyway...
lol

"Chickenhawk", lol. So I take it then that you and Junior were in the military, and you've both seen your fair share of fighting, right? Why don't you wait to meet me in person before you decide if I'm as "chickenhawk" as you like to think?
i find this ironic considering you jumped into this thread head-first calling people who had a different opinion from you idiotic. people who resort to ad hominem attacks do so because they are frustrated with their inability to articulate their thoughts or because they realize their viewpoint doesn't hold water on its own merit. idiot is an ad hominem attack. chickenhawk is not. chickenhawk is a real term that refers to a pundit or politician who sits around beating war drums on the sideline, but has never served in a war or has avoided serving in a war. like i said before, look into getting a dictionary.

You are really something else, you know that??
My reason for wanting it down has to do with identity theft, which I've had happen to me. I try to keep as much personal information about myself OFF the internet for this reason. You're more petty than a little child, seriously.
Whatever...it's in the hands of the Administrator now.

Gawd... so we're coming to this...
Ok.. you corrected my grammar... I was correcting your word definition (since you had thought I was misusing rabid)... Never did I say or imply they were the same.
*EDIT* I actually see how you could've gotten confused... it WAS poorly worded. My apologies.
Second, isn't it just as outlandish to turn the other way and say EVERYTHING is fine... nothing is wrong... all just coincidence?
[bear in mind that I never made any indication which side of the fence I sat on]

Yes, it is fine to turn away when everything in a given situation is as it appears to be. When it can't be refuted by both common sense, as well as a multitude of facts, then any further merit one would lend to that which is irrefutable would be, by definition; "Outlandish".
Hi Packistani! I like seeing you in the one type of thread we can both agree on!
It makes me respect your opinions on other matters, because at least you are not insane! (albeit, just plain wrong sometimes, lol )
