This world is surely big enough that things do exist without our seeing them..until we actually run into (or over) one.

at the same time, humans have a weakness for believing nonsense. (Consider astrology.) It’s important to recognize and compartment the stuff of tabloids and superstition.

Unchecked belief leads to real social harm, like scientology and Republicans.

white trash falls to it's own level...thousands of good worthy causes, and this fucking white trash wants to save a plantation house...because even famous magats are still racist pieces of fucking shit, and of course, fucker carlson has to get into the act, no other...i don't know what to call fucker...he's not a journalist, by any means, he's not an entertainer, at least as far as i'm concerned....no other shitty lack of personality would give this freak of nature a forum to spread their racist garbage. next week they'll start a campaign to save statues of confederate war criminals...

I do believe that there are questions unanswered and I believe in facts. I have an interest in the pursuit of same, to either prove or disprove them; that is the fun in it for me. I love nothing more than to disprove and bust people; I am no National Enquirer reader, I assure you. Alas, there are times I need my RIU friends' knowledge that I lack. + it's fun to discuss/debate which often leads us elsewhere and I enjoy that too.

There's a plantation house where after black slave uprising and killing a bunch of white people, they got caught and killed. Slave owners made casts of everyone hung. They displayed those casts in front of the house where they still remain until today.

“people imagine them” is not (by my lights) tautologous with “they exist”. The dividing criterion is some sort of internal consistency. That’s why I brought up the comic-book universe. Why wasn’t Tony Stark bitten by a radioactive iron? ;)

You've got some crazy things in the deep, deep sea we've explored 2%; there's no saying an animal cannot live in the stratosphere and hunt on earth.
