If people were 100% rational, would the world be better?
RE: If people were 100% rational, would the world be better?
I don't give a shit if you are Atheist or Hindu or Buddhist or Muslim or Jew, name me one cat that gives a fuck what you think? If you don't know the cat, it will run from you, but if you feed it, it will react to you. If I suddenly stopped feeding my current cat, it would get stressed out. It would seek to survive.

In regards to 'In Search Of.' I'd be blaming the "Barnum effect" that broadcasters want to make moneg off other's lack of credulity that goes back, dare I say, centuries of marketing and "Buyer beware".

 As for the "X Files" a better torch barer for Kolckak's 'Night Stalker' legacy I can't think of.

 Cheers.

If it were legal to kick in the crotch the creators of the conspiracy show X-Files, I would. And fuck Jerry Springer and fuck WWE and fuck Duck Dumnasty!. And especially FUCK THE ORANGE TURD!

I am not against escapism. But I am against crap that implies it is real.

Do you understand the concept of ‘fiction’?

Well..... that turned, or returned, as much like I expected it would. Sadly.

The worst part of our species, is that unfortunately, as much as we have the capability to cooperate and have empathy, we are really no different than any other species in that we can and will con and hurt others for our own advantage.

If there is any justification for Guantanamo Bay, the creators of the X-Fakers deserve to be there.

Again, I look at the show "X-Files" as competing with WWF, now known as WWE, and Fucks News. They were simply targeting the same audience that sells psychic hotlines for 5 dollars a minute.

P.T. Barnum was at least willing to admit you could point to someone's toes, and say, "Your shoes are untied".

As I think someone already pointed out, but I think it needs more emphasizing: the X-Files was fiction, portrayed as fiction, promoted as fiction, and sold as fiction. Anyone taking it as factual or attempting to pose as factual is clueless on the matter.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

What? You mean the X-Files wasn't a documentary?
