lol you say that but you don't follow it. Just because a guy with a joint in his lip is telling you something doesn't make him any less of an authority.you say debunk...i say pure shit
do you follow blindly with the rest of them?
think for yourself, question authority
I am just saying, just because the dirty hippy sitting next to you says that 9/11 was an inside job doesn't make it true. I accept that what we understand happened, really did, not because I saw it on the news, but because I looked at both sides of the issue, and sided with the one that has the most evidence.i question my own thought before i think them
how about that
I have never -repped anyone or even messed with the rep system here. Frankly I could care less about it but I do know that you have to be a "premium" member to see who is repping.....theres no dirty hippy next to me telling me anything
i will not discuss 9/11 with you for the fact that i was -repped by you last time i expressed my own opinions about the matter
so believe what you will, and i will do the same
Why are most stoners so quick to buy into conspiracy theories? I see more crap that is so easy to debunk on this forum than any of the other "non-pot" forums I go to. I love weed just as much as any of you but I hate the "stupid stoner" stereotype more than anything.
Most forums deal with a specific subject matter and usually will ban/drop someone who rants on about off-beat subject matter. When you go into a forum such as Toke N Talk in particular, you are in an open subject, free thinking forum. It is somewhat different to the usual. For example, where else can you find a 'longest thread in history', or a 'two words game' thread?Why are most stoners so quick to buy into conspiracy theories?

I got spat at by an 80 year old bloke once. Muttered "dirty hippy" as I walked past. The fact that I lived without govt handouts etc and bathed daily made no difference. I was wearing a sarong and had long hair and a beard.Oh, and folks, 'dirty hippy' is as offensive to some people as 'Black bastard' or 'jewboy' is to others
I hear ya Gryphonn. I remember I was about 15 and I had shoulder length hair and was walking down my street one day,and a couple girls maybe 5 or 7 were on the street,since it was a quiet street and as I walked by they said "our dad says you are a hippy bum" . then they sort of laughed and walked to their house. This is something I will always remember for sure,since suddenly I started to wonder if thats what many people on the street thought of me. Im sure there are many others who have had worse experiences than that though,especially back in the 60s. Anyhow I just thought if I was ever going to talk about it ,this would be a good time.

It's different.
I would certainly argue that it is not that 'most stoners' are gullible. We may well be more willing to listen to an argument before passing it off as bullshit though...
...I think that's called an 'open' mind...
