the whole toilet seat thing is very simple.What if it's 25%? 30%?
And yes, I deliberately steered clear of the "toilet seat needs to be down so I don't haveta look where I put my bare butt at 2:25am" female psychology angle...but thanks, Deer-drah.
...but I find it very hard to accept the notion that this kind of stuff is always bad...
Grinch!I view things in the aggregate. I'm sure there a reasonable chance that this droll satire might be useful perspective for a few people, but the net result is bad because of the negative effects I described before. And you could probably have reached those few people without sowing large amounts of confusion and bunk-reinforcement elsewhere.
hint: its probably not a good idea to bring up the "fair for everybody" arguemnt with your spouse/girlfriend or youll find yourself holding a scrub brush 3x a week.so it's fair for everyone,
Leaving aside the fact that my girlfriend currently lives on a different continent, I also have Ulcerative Colitis, I am used to using a scrubbing brush, at least in that room of the house.hint: its probably not a good idea to bring up the "fair for everybody" arguemnt with your spouse/girlfriend or youll find yourself holding a scrub brush 3x a week.
and talking of Aggregate, I ALMOST feel slightly sorry for those people who think they have found a dogging site when they see the words FREE HARDCORE on a sign by the side of the road, and are disappointed to find completely the WRONG kind of slag on offer.
I'm guessing a lot of CT people think that ICA site is intentionally confusing, but actually exposes the truth to the public in a way which could be easily denied.
i agree. hence all the tinfoil hat pics floating around. (and my signature).Maybe it's my stubborn nature, but I have a real aversion to having to give in to people's whims just because they take their beliefs so seriously. I say there's nothing wrong with lampooning such ideas, exactly BECAUSE they take themselves so seriously. Some of these ideas out there are practically begging to be parodied, so I'm not surprised that that's what's actually happening.

but to think mocking or lampooning is going to change people's minds is kinda a cop out. No matter how you slice it, making fun of people isnt heroic or productive. It's just making fun of people.
That's the problem with satire, you are asking the reader to distinguish between the real and the joke. So a chemtrail believer will take much more of it as "real information", and will totally misunderstand the intent of the writer.

Tony OrlowYes, Stephanie, but it includes real information. It's a weird mix. I *almost* like it.

In my opinion there's nothing wrong with asking the reader to distinguish fiction from fact. Get those gears of the mind grinding!
it's a rather long (time wise) 'joke'. which is odd in itself.It's a way of letting off steam for those frustrated by being accused of mass-murder and treason. It's not meant to be helpful, just a private joke made public really.
Apparently they have offices at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center http://www.eventective.com/USA/Tenn...Gaylord-Opryland-Hotel-Convention-Center.html
and have nice taste in office furniture

All this chemtrail thing is a hoax, why waste time on it "debunking" it if it all is a joke
...and in some people's minds, assertions that sit unrefuted gain credibilityI've heard they "ICA" have offices in Walmart restrooms. All this chemtrail thing is a hoax, why waste time on it "debunking" it if it all is a joke. Just take a deep breath and go on with life.
...and in some people's minds, assertions that sit unrefuted gain credibility
(on the mistaken theory that they are [sigh]..."irrefutable.")
Makes the world a dumber place...

Today, all those who posted to this page with outrage at the ICA’s ‘SRM technologies’ must accept the fact they have been duped. There is no ‘ICA’. There never has been and there never will be. But you accepted at face-value what you were told on the internet. Yes, YOU.
You shouted at the rational voices "Do your research!”. You attempted to post outdated and long-debunked videos of contrails and clouds. You posted claims of patents and ‘operations’, calling others ‘shills’ and ‘disinfo agents’. You accepted the delusion that was posted here; that planes are covertly and deliberately spraying noxious substances from planes.
You accepted on face-value the most ludicrous and obviously manufactured pictures, which in most cases could be easily shown to be false.
The creator of this page, (yes, it’s primarily the work of one person) and others, have laughed long and hard at your lack of critical thinking and gullibility. Others have joined in the satire, particularly those in the aviation industry, and for that, I thank them very much. For those who are sitting on the fence about ‘chemtrails’, you now see how easy it is to fool a ‘chemtrail’ believer.
I trust that you who have been duped will learn from this experience. In future, be as critical of the ‘alternative media’ as you are of the mainstream media. Fact-check from reliable sources, places of learning, schools, colleges and universities.
For all the ‘chemtrail’ believers who got it so very, very wrong, I leave you with this quote. If you want to know who wrote it, do your research.
"The joke isn't designed for the fool at all. It certainly isn't created to be helpful to him in any way. If a fool can't see a joke when it is played on him there is no help for him, after all he IS the fool! Being foolish is what fools are good for, that defines them. Even though the joke is of no value to the fool, those who see him being fooled get a reminder of the way they are personally foolish (yes all of us are foolish sometimes) and vicariously grow by the experience. We all laugh at the fool and strive harder to not become one ourselves.”
From the ICA, thank you for your support, over and out. - PD

That's really laying it on thick.
