November Stundie Nominations

[LSSBB]

Yes. I wonder if Robert will also make an admission and an appology? Or if he just expects it of others?

Just like Fonzie.

uwkU8-d1gIk

I wonder, will he jump the shark next, or has he already done so?

[EventHorizon]

Robert Prey not understanding Irony...








So when somebody makes a joke this happens...


Yes. I wonder if Robert will also make an admission and an appology? Or if he just expects it of others?

I'm kinda proud of myself here. I went fishing for Stundies and I hooked a HUGE one!

[carlitos]

Clayton Moore takes homophones for $200, Alex.

Which is the problem in protesting in the first place. What is their objective? What is their reasoning for disrupting campus peace?

Their objective is that they think they're being heard. It's called the heard mentality.

That's actually pretty clever, really. Is there any chance it was deliberate?

[Myron Proudfoot]

The bank has $X in deposits/other assets.

The bank must hold onto at least $0.1X of said deposits/assets.

The bank may lend/invest not more than $0.9X of said deposits/assets.

thank you. :D

[Tomtomkent]

Oh boy....

That is the drawing provided by the Warren Commission for the purpose of mis-leading the public as to the fatal shot to the head.
Does he have any evidence for that? Evidence specified as:
Evidence for the Warren Commission misleading the public other than your word. Even you must realize that your word is about at the lowest ebb it can reach.

Well...
But in your heart, you know I'm right.


I'm sorry? That has to be a "no" right? Or has this thread suddenly become Star Wars and we can discern the truth by searching our feelings or feeling the ******* force?

[carlitos]

That's actually pretty clever, really. Is there any chance it was deliberate?

Honestly, it's tough to tell. That poster shows moments of lucidity.

Now that is confusing. Is CM showing utter ignorance or making a pun?
One would be a definite Stundie, the other remarkably clever.

Hard to tell.

[LSSBB]

Truth doesn't need proof.


'Nuff said.

[Harte]

"I dare you to cite 10 items total that have been found in all the Old Kingdom pyramids combined. I know you can't because I've done the research. Please cite your evidence for tomb theory other than a sarcophagus."

To which I replied:
"Please cite your evidence for existence other than your physical presence."

Harte

[Robrob]

Why do that when the US went to the trouble and expense to build atomic bombs?

I suspect that the top leaders knew that building an atom bomb was an impossible project from the start. So the Manhattan Project was just a charade to fool the people. Remember how 'miraculously' the Manhattan Project just 'happened' to be completed just in time before the war was totally over.

I rest my case...

[Robrob]

It's almost not fair...
About as miraculous as finding your car keys just before you stop looking for them...

No, the war was already practically won before the atom bombs were used. So the timing of the completion of the project is suspiciously timed.

[Kid Eager]

This one's worth a nomination simply because it's so crass:

Fair enough,

I too have trouble understanding why you want to smash children to death on rocks with soft policies that draw people here on dangerous journies, but that's what you want and lucky you will get to see it again I predict.

[sylvan8798]

You need a link Harte :)

[Klimax]

This one's worth a nomination simply because it's so crass:

Don't see much of stundie and most probably context is missing. Not that it is too clear post either...

That discussion you took it from is strange anyway.

[Sword_Of_Truth]

Anders Lindman is racking up almost a nomination per hour here:

No. It's not about obedience. It's about critical thinking. Truth needs no proof.

It's not really funny, but it's short and stucking foopid.

[Tomtomkent]

One has to wonder why you would open a thread asking if there are hidden messages in the media, or if you may be psychotic, if you...
.... hate hearing that I sound psychotic.

the full quote for context (it's about the plenty of evidence he has for telepathic broadcasts.....)

Remember the quote that family guy said about not talking about the machine. I think that the people that hear these broadcasts may be persuaded not to discuss it. I could tell you what they say but I hate hearing that I sound psychotic.

"It's the truth officer!"

"Oh, well in that case you're free to go."

I'm not in charge but posters like that are fish in a barrel, almost too easy to count for a true stundie.

[Brainache]

From a discussion about the paparazzi stalking of author J.K. Rowling's children; apparently fictional characters deserve their privacy too?

Except for the fictional Harry Potter, whose life is exposed in pain staking detail. Hmm, I'm getting conflicting messages.

"Pain Staking Detail."

I don't remember the pain stakes in HP...

[slowsmile]

"Pain Staking Detail."

I don't remember the pain stakes in HP...

That would be the cruciatus curse..........

It's in the Adult version.

[000063]

I doubt if your "load paths" are all in one basket.He tries so hard to look clever, really he does.

[Longfellow]

I thought they meant Klingon Painstiks (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Painstik) in a bit of cross-genre action but perhaps not.

Heh. I picture a wizard trying to use the Cruciatus curse on a Klingon only to have him laughingly say "You call that pain you Hu'tegh petaQ? I endured worse during my Rite of Ascension"

A sub-class of Poe's Law? Can't tell the difference between a pun and language misuse? Clayton's Law?

[Stacko]

Shouldn't it be called Spindrift's Law then?

[Cl1mh4224rd]

I'm not sure this should qualify, since I'm not sure that Anders Lindman isn't just the most prolific troll I've ever seen, but...

Before humanity (or space aliens) came into being no evidence existed for how Earth orbits the sun, yet the truth of that fact existed even without that evidence.


Apparently gravity didn't exist before any species became consciously aware of it; planets orbited stars simply because planets orbited stars.

Actually, I'd vote to give him a pass on that one. I think he's delving into the realm of quantum mysticism, a legitimate topic of debate. Whether that was intentional or not is another issue.

[akama1]

Anders brings a new version of evidence to the table, it does not exist till we observe it

http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?postid=7798351#post7798351

A simple way of explaining why evidence is not the same as the truth is to show ONE SINGLE example of where this is not the case.

Here is such an example:

Before humanity (or space aliens) came into being no evidence existed for how Earth orbits the sun, yet the truth of that fact existed even without that evidence.

Q.E.D.

(Actually, it's an incredible hubris to believe that your evidence can alter the truth in any direction.)

Scratch this one, Anders has admitted he is a troll in the same thread

[Alferd_Packer]

Again, that is a legitimate premise of quantum metaphysics.

Or rather that things exist as quantum probabilities until an observer is present.

[TjW]

Really? I would have taken it as an argument that evidence is a theoretical construct of an intelligence. Under this interpretation, it wouldn't exist for Anders.

[Oystein]

I nominate:

Would RedIbis be so kind and tell us what he thinks happened most likely on 9/11, if terrorists did not take out the airline pilots and fly planes into buildings and a field in Penn.?

Even though it's been brought to your attention multiple times, you still pull out the old 'what really happened' gambit?

Apparently, in Twoofer Land, "what really happened" (i.e. "reality") is just a toy used for gambits. Truthers are not interested in reality, only in da Twoof.

[jaydeehess]

Too common for a meme and thus too watered down for a stundie for my liking. It follows "proof, proof , we don't need no stinkin' proof'.:D

More from the troll who earlier agitated for reducing the age of consent...

You have proven beyond doubt you are a troll Ivor. I've made some posts here which are destined to AAH or worse, but the games you are playing are antithetical to this whole forum.

If you drink milk you probably don't have a problem with animals being sexually exploited by humans, at least as long as the human isn't enjoying it.

[carlitos]

Again, not eligible because non-evolution isn't a conspiracy per se, but wow.

You missed my point.......

By clairvoyant I mean if you were a reptile and clairvoyant and you were becoming a bird, you WOULD KNOW you were becoming warm blooded before you were warm blooded. If you were a clairvoyant reptile you WOULD KNOW that your lungs were becoming one way air flow lungs a million years before they became one way air flow lungs........


But reptiles are not clairvoyant, and such is not allowed.......

[jadebox]

You missed my point.......

By clairvoyant I mean if you were a banana and clairvoyant and you were becoming food, you WOULD KNOW you were becoming edible before you were edible. If you were a clairvoyant banana you WOULD KNOW that you would have a handle and fit just right in a person's hand before you had a handle and fit just right ........

But bananas are not clairvoyant, and such is not allowed.......



Sorry ... that quote just reminded me of the silly banana thing for some reason.

Is Robert maxed out yet on Stundie nominations for this month? Can I get this one in under the wire?

Yeah, well Facebook is probably a little more reliable than the mainstream news media.

The man is a fountain of gems like this.

[jaydeehess]

Wow,, uh, just WOW!

If one were to check my own facebook page one would have an incorrect idea of when my birthday is and what year I was born. I chose NOT to have that info available to the entire world so I LIED! In fact every website that asks that question gets a different date from me just because I feel like it.:p

If the people who you claim inspected the ruins and debris did so carefully, how did they fail to see evidence for molten metals, which was found and reported on in both the dust deposited by the fallen buildings as well as in the site's debris? And if they did see such evidence, why would they have attributed this to the plane impacts and ensuing fires, when these fires couldn't come close to producing the temperatures necessary to melt and/or vaporize the metals?

If one believed the information on my FB account were serious and reliable, one would conclude that I really would love to own underpants made of knitted wool with a long slim extra leg for my penis. Well, it ain't so :D

I like how this person is careful enough to use "metal" instead of "steel", but then still uses the "fire couldn't melt X" talking point. So now we have a bizarre—and I'm sure unintentional—claim that the fires couldn't have melted any of the metals present in the towers. Awesome.

[carlitos]

Starting off December with a bang:


Remember the Bubonic Plague of the 15th century? Remember the vaccine that ended the Plague?? No? Neither do I. What does that tell you?

[Tomtomkent]

As it isn't like the half of the population who survived didn't get out alive because of the natural process that Vaccines rely on.

I wonder why he chose that, and not the Black Death, or any of the other outbreaks of varying plagues?

[triforcharity]

Since there is no December thread yet ****AHEMMMMM!!!!!!***** *Cough TRAVIS* cough....

Here's a doozie from our very own Clayton Moore.

Blah, blah, blah. Whenever it can the media beats a story to death.

Every minute detail is reviewed over and over. Every witness is interviewed over and over. Every statement is examined and reexamined for possible new twists and turns for MORE story lines.

Not so WTC7. Or 9/11. Or the Pentagon


Wait, so you mean to tell me the 24/7 broadcast from NYC that went on for weeks, wasn't the media? Who the hell was it then......:boxedin:

[Alferd_Packer]

“verbatim” redux, birther style
youarejoking: The Court has said that subject is to monarchy as citizen is to republic.

"The term "citizen," as understood in our law, is precisely analogous to the term "subject" in the common law, and the change of phrase has entirely resulted from the change of government. The sovereignty has been transferred from one man to the collective body of the people, and he who before as a "subject of the king" is now "a citizen of the State." State v. Manuel (1838), 4 Dev. & Bat. 20, 24-26., as quoted in WKA

ksdb:
"precisely analogous" does NOT mean "exactly the same." You want it to, but it doesn't. There are fundamental differences.

Waterboarding isn't torture, no wait it is, no it isn't, yes it is!

I feel quite free to do neither, since the burning question of whether waterboarding is subjectively torture or is effective has no bearing on my position.

Quote:
Sheikh-Mohammed didn't seem to think it was all that torturous, having endured it 183 times without (according to your sources) giving up a damn thing. And there are also assertions afoot that he mocked waterboarding as a torture method and made light of it.

Quote:
Now, if you can only show where I actually denied that waterboarding is torture

Those terrorists were waterboarded in an attempt to extract life-saving information from them. I don't know why the Japanese waterboarded. But I do know they did a lot of torturing out of pure meanness, such as tossing Chinese babies up in the air and skewering them on their bayonets.

Quote:
Bush's counsel could recall the words of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, veteran of 183 waterboardings and derisive mocker of the method, to cast serious doubt on the torturousness of it. There is not even sufficient evidence that Bush knew waterboarding was subjectively torture in the minds of many (it's greatest victim Khalid excluded), when he authorized it.

Quote:
Bush allowed waterboarding after being advised that it was not torture. Then he ordered it stopped when it was suggested that it might be deemed torture.
