    No, he's a human, or maybe a dancer.

    Can you add a bit off meat to this. You've pretty much posted the bare minimum.

    • Do you think he is an alien?
    • Why do you think he is an alien?
    • Do you think other people think he is an alien?

    No because there is no evidence or reasoning to support such a claim.
    It's ridiculous.

    The lack of evidence is evidence for the conspiracy. They have covered it up so well that no evidence has been left: Proof that there is a conspiracy

    If Obama was a Alien he'd be an alien.

    I think he's an Offaly nice human being.

    JohnGalt, send me a PM and convince me this thread isn't a pisstake. Then I'll re-open this thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Thread re-opened following PM from JohnGalt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,298 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    does this mean the OP is going to provide proof that Obama is an alien?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 259 ✭✭Veni Vedi Vici

    Exactly. Are we privy to what justified the re-opening of this thread 6th?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Hold off til he responds, if he doesnt then the thread gets locked again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,298 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Sorry, deleted what I just said as you replied. Fair enough, I look forward to his reponse. I really do :D

    He's offline for the time being. Hopefully he's compiling something worth the server space.

    Why do you reject this conspiracy theory? How do you know that this is not true? Similarly how do you know conspiracy theories which you do believe in are true? What is your standard of evidence? Have you considered Occams razor? Just wondering?

    A question isn't a theory. You've only provided a question. (in reference to OP)

    This is blatant thread de-railment.

    the deflector dish can be used as a weapon

    I don't care for your impressive Trekkie trivia lest you can speak it in Klingon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    The star trek stuff is bad enough and klingon and and I start deleting posts!

    the deflector dish can be used as a weapon

    The crew of the USS Enterprise-D used the deflector to channel an extremely large amount of energy at a controlled rate - both as a weapon against a Borg cube in 2366 (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds", "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II") and as an energy source hoping to escape a Tyken's Rift in 2367. (TNG: "Night Terrors") Although the energy beam had a greater power output than the ship's complement of weapons, using the deflector for this purpose was extremely impractical and only ever used on two occasions



    Obama is made the live long and prosper sign, its photographed, he must be an alien making us ready for the arrival of his race, the Vulcans
    And that is clearly the Enterprise NCC-1701 from the original series above Obama. Minus 3 nerd points.

    We reject it because you haven't given a reason as to why this might be true, or why you believe it to be true. The onus is on you to back up a claim that you made, otherwise how can you possibly expect us to discuss it?

    Conspiracy Theories are normally presented with reasoning as to why its plausible. Like the contaminated vaccines theory, about how the company which caused it may have done it on purpose to increase profits of the vaccines. Or the WTC7 discussion about what may have caused it to collapse. You just asked us to say why he's not an alien. As the OP, the onus is on you to say why he is.

    Lads I've deleted some of the crap. Lets keep it down. Theres an off topi thread if you want to get yore trek on.

    Based on the definitions of 'topi' and 'yore' that sentence actually reads as:

    "Theres an off Saharan antelope thread if you want to get the expedition of old activated." :pac:

    I'm sorry 6th but its hard to re-rail a de-railing train that should have never left the station in the first place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Well the OPs question seems to be: How do you decide which CTs to believe?

    My answer would be: By looking at the basis of the idea and any possible sources which may or may not tlend credence to them.

    Seems like a genuine question which he unfortunately went the wrong way about asking?

    Hi all I only signed up tonight

    The answer to your question is no he's not an alien.
    He's a puppet,a front man who is good at reading an autocue.

    Is this not a complete deviation from the title and question posed in the initial post?

    You gave him the oppurtunity to flesh out the question.

    He fails to do so here by asking us to flesh out why its not true.
    JohnGalt wrote: »

    He fails to do so here by asking a completley different question to what he originally proposed.

    Derailed.

    His original post was an attempt to get people to say its rubbish so that he could ask why thats rubbish and all the other stuff isnt?

    If so, then isn't this basically the same as the "What is your conspiracy thinking" thread thing thats recently been started?


  • Registered Users Posts: 109 ✭✭SolarFlash


    YES, he is an illegal alien.

    What?

    Anyway, more importantly, is the new charter extinct, is it a CT?

    • Claims, Evidence, Proof
    If you are stating something as fact please post your sources or any relevant links/info. Doing so will strengthen your point. Where someone states something as their opinion it is just that, an opinion. Asking "why" they believe something if fine, demanding proof/evidence is not.

    • Making the natives restless
    This is a catch-all rule for general trolling, bitching and similar. Posting in a manner purely to get a reaction from someone will not be tolerated. If a moderator feels that said poster is doing this intentionally or is the cause of the mess, then the poster can and will be infracted and/or banned. This rule will hopefully put an end to the bitching going on in here of late.



    IMO, FAIL on those 2 points.

    This crap doesn't help if CT wants to be taken seriously.

    Thats exactly my concern. Again I reiterate that a question is not a theory.
