What's the Craziest Thing You Really Believe?

[Robb]

You know, the thing you feel strongly about, but your friends all look at you a little funny over? For me, it's the super-secret ray-gun stuff... what's yours?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. I really believe we are the cause of more things in our life than

the effect.

[short bus president]

2. "somewhere out there

is just the right woman for you." Pretty f*cking nuts, huh?

[LTR]

3. There really are weapons of mass destruction

Nahhh, can't be.

<slaps self back to reality>

[TlalocW]

4. That I won't be...

... disappointed with Star Wars Episode 3.

TlalocW

[northzax]

7. snarf

you are naive aren't you?

[northzax]

5. the faked moon landing

I mean really, when's the last time the gubmint did something ahead of schedule and under budget?

[MisterP]

20. when Democrats have worked on it?

:D
couldn't resist

[lynndew2]

56. The faked Orgasm

On time and under budget O8)

[morningtheft]

6. Daily beatings for GW

I believe that the controllers of GW have no qualms about smacking him around in order to try to train him to remember the lies the make him say and also out of pure frustration in dealing with such an idiot. Hence limited press appearences and a lot of taped audio and taped video to test the make-up and to see if his injuries show up.

[SOteric]

8. That it's actually possible

for people to be more sensitive to one another.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. LOL crazy woman!

[iluvchicago86]

9. Leprechauns

Almost, but not quite.

[rock]

11. That predication and nominalization both eminate

from the same conceptual underpinning.

[Robb]

16. e.g. grammar? (n/t)

[Devlzown]

12. I think life on Earth is an alien reality tv show.

They spliced some of their DNA with that of some chimps in order to have some semi-intelligent creatures to make the show more interesting. They also like to start wars amongst us in order to keep the ratings high.

[chemenger]

27. And the aliens' transmission antenna

really is hidden up Cartman's ass. And the underwear gnomes really do make off with my underwear in the middle of the night.

[redeye]

13. Mine...

...is that the USA needs to be split into 5-10 nations.

[CanuckAmok]

14. That Jonestown was a CIA experiment gone terribly wrong, and that...

Harvey Milk and George Moscone (sp?) were silenced because of their knowledge of Jonestown's true purpose.

Also, that Pope John Paul 1 was murdered by the P-2 Lodge of the Freemasonic Order.

[Cocoa]

15. washing fruit is pointless

I still do it, just in case, like the way some people go to church, but I'm pretty sure it's not really doing much good.

[bearfartinthewoods]

19. i take it you have never picked veggies for a living?

i have.....trust me...wash your fruits and veggies.

[Cocoa]

24. I know

but I don't think I'll ever truly believe it's doing any good. If there's something bad on it, is running it under the faucet for a few seconds going to get it off?

I realize I'm probably wrong. When I was a very small kid, I was convinced that you only really had to look one way before crossing the street. I forget what my logic was, but I thought looking both ways was somehow redundant.

[noonwitch]

17. That people are basically good

For some reason, others look at me funny for that. It's not that I don't believe evil exists or that all people are good without exception, but most people seem to think I'm naively crazy.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. I agree with you there...

People's actions and moods are determined by their environments and situations. As those factors change during the course of a few moments even, our character is transformed.

[BurtWorm]

18. I have some unorthodox positions on Shakespeare and Jesus

I think Shakespeare was the 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere.

I think Jesus Christ was not a historical person, but is entirely mythological.

(Good question you're posing. I've been wanting to ask the very same one.)

[noonwitch]

45. Sometimes I think that Bob Dylan is a reincarnated Shakespeare

And they, with Jesus, helped write "A Course in Miracles".

[BurtWorm]

61. I'm not quite THAT unorthodox.

[booksenkatz]

21. That prostitution should be legalized nationwide

and also that recreational drugs should be legalized, controlled, taxed. BTW I am not a prostitute and I have never taken an illegal drug (yet... give me time). No one has been able to make a case to me that there is something wrong with either of these activities, and it's my belief that their illegality causes far more problems, and costs far more money, than their being legal would cause.

Excuse me, now, I have to go feed the 5" tall spaceman that lives in my garden shed. If I don't feed him daily, he bothers the cats with his ray gun.

[CanuckAmok]

36. Not "crazy", "Canadian". Welcome aboard! n/t

[JackDragna]

22. Mr. Stay-Puff lives in my closet..

..and tells me to kill people.

Kill.

Kill.

[catzies]

23. That peace on earth is possible in my lifetime

and that despite our many failures toward achieveing it, humanity will realize that we all are one and are one with the earth and we will stop killing ourselves and each other and our planet. :hippie:

[Mr. McD]

25. That a woman’s purse is a gateway to another dimension,

the amount of matter contained in one far exceeds the physical limitations of it's size.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. Hahaha!

I think you may be right...

[chemenger]

26. I have always believed that

stuffed animals have feelings. I really, really do believe this. I even get sad when I see stuffed animals thrown into a heap at Goodwill or flea markets.

So I'm a little nuts.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. Velveteen Rabbit Complex?

I confess, I've rescued many abandoned stuffed buddies and given them to my kids after a good washing.

But as in the child's book, I think it's the love we give to inanimate objects which makes them real.

[northzax]

68. oh there you go

bringing up the velveteen rabbit. and I was having a good day, too. thanks.

[bloom]

81. Once my daughter donated some stuffed animals to a thrift store...

And then when we saw them so lonely on the shelf - we bought them back!!!

[Blue_Chill]

28. That animals deserve to be treated with respect

and that the enviroment shouldn't be filled with poisons.

[skypilot]

29. That the number 9...

...or (any combination of numbers that add up to 9) is evil and unlucky--for me.

[NightTrain]

32. That a little pink man lives in my sock drawer

Hey, you said crazy!

[RushIsRot]

33. One of the rings of Saturn is made of stray socks.

Actually I know this because when I was on the Mothership, we visited there once and I saw for myself.

[Blue_Chill]

38. Next time you're up there

can you find my brown dress socks. I've bought countless pairs only have them all vanish. Tell your alien buddies to steal some black ones and leave me one frickin pair of brown.

[RushIsRot]

44. If you'll bind your socks together with a rubber band...

when you wash and dry them, you'll never lose any more. Saturn will suffer, but you won't.

[SiobhanClancy]

35. Ghosts

I am as convinced of their existence as I am of my own.

[Blue_Chill]

37. Is that considered crazy?

I had one that really wanted me out of its house. Scared the piss out of me. I have a few ghost stories actually. PM me if you want to trade.

[SiobhanClancy]

42. Some people consider it crazy

but many others KNOW better...and sure,I'd love to hear your ghost stories:)

[booksenkatz]

43. I like the way you two think...

maybe around Halloween we could have a ghost story thread in the Meeting Room... TRUE ghost stories only, or even better, ones we've experienced personally.

OK, THAT and legalize prostitution and legalize drugs (see #21 above).

>coff<

[Az]

39. That people are basically good

I keep getting stared at when I say this.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. That we can communicate with each other

without speaking, without seeing each other...simply with our thoughts. Like those times when friends call right after we've been thinking about them.

[leftofthedial]

41. belief that doing good is its own reward

altruism


I end up not only failing to benefit myself, but end up getting screwed for having done the right thing more often than not.

But I keep doing it.

[BritishHuman]

46. That what goes around comes around...

When driving, the more polite I am (letting drivers out of side roads, etc) the faster my journey goes. The good car-ma gets paid back straight away.

It works! I swear!

[TrogL]

47. that telekinesis is possible

Unfortunately, I can't do it consistently

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. That I REALLY do need to check the alarm exactly 3 times in sets of 3

and one for good measure or it won't go off in the morning.

I've tested this theory...scientifically---really.

[Cthulu_2004]

49. That the Constitution actually means what it says...

that gets me weird looks all the time.

[TheBigGuy]

50. Christ rose from the dead and really did perform those miracles.

yeah...i know alot of other people believe this too, but its odd for me since I consider myself such an Enlightenement rationalist type.

[FreeperSlayer]

51. Gore won

eom

[Raenelle]

52. I believe God loves us all--even (yuck) Chimpy and the neo-cons

n/t

[Coffee Coyote]

53. I believe...

youngred lives inside my pants.

[solinvictus]

54. Beliefs considered "crazy"

1) I believe that magick, from folkways to ceremonial, is real and can affect change in the universe.
2) I believe that there is significance in acts of kindness no matter how small they seem. I believe these acts can be for people or animals.
3) I believe that the 2nd Amendment does include sub machine guns and other such select fire weapons, to law abiding citizens of course.
4) I believe that Kurt Cobain, the lead singer/song writer of Nirvana, was probably murdered.
5) I believe, especially after recently re-reading George Orwell's "Road to Wigan Pier" and "Homage to Catalonia" that the US is heading for some bad times. Buy a rifle, ammo, and keep basic supplies on hand.

[Lindsey]

55. That we choose our lives and everything that happens to

us when we are on the other side before we incarnate over here- in order to learn whatever lessons we need to learn in this life and hopefully evolve to the highest state or Nirvana.

[Birthmark]

57. I believe...

...that Catherine Zeta-Jones loves me! Really, how could she not?

Seriously, I think that viewed from the outside (whatever that means) that the Universe doesn't exist.

[AmandaRuth]

58. ok, about 9-11

I believe that the order for 9-11 was put into motion as soon as the election was decided and that it was ordered in retaliation for the first Gulf war (in general) and the US presence in the ME (Specifically). I believe that if Gore had properly won the election, 9-11 would have never happened and even though * LIHOP, his "election" was the "go" trigger to the terrorists.

I also am waiting for someone on the national stage to point out that maybe for the health of the country we should not be electing people that raise such ire in a very crazy few that they go flying airplanes into buildings, in fact, imho, no one even remotely connected (even through just family) to the oil industry should be anywhere near public office.

I also believe that the * administration/9-11 investigation knows this, but would never release the info.

[Section_43]

59. That my animals understand everything I say.

I also believe in Sooner Magic.

[Pert_UK]

60. I believe that children are our future........

"This is my band, Sexual Chocolate! Give it up!"

:-)

Sorry......obviously oil, devastation and war are our future, children are merely a sustainable source of food.

P.

[wellstone_democrat]

62. that salt water has healing properties

that is the ocean---I know its loony but I believe that imersion in it or even smelling it is helpful for a lot of illnesses. I also think tht sitting and listening to waves and watching them will cure depression (temporarily at least)

Why? I don't know. Maybe its growing up in northern NE and knowing that a case of poison ivy usually was a long way toward cured if we happened to go to the beach!

My husband finds this belief very amusing but as he says: who knows, you may be on to something!

[carpetbagger]

63. When I was 12, I had three dreams that predicted future events.

Absolutely trivial, but quite complex, events, to multiple fine details.

Then it never happened again.

Oh, yeah, and ghosts/spritualism, but I lived in Appalachia for several years.

[CanuckAmok]

65. wwhat were the thre dreams' events? n/t

[Keithpotkin]

64. that anarchism in practice could "work"...

and would be a more humane world.

[StaggerLee]

66. The Detroit Tigers will actually see post season within the next 5 years

Flame me, I don't care.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

67. I truly believe I'm psychic.

I can tell you who's calling without looking at the caller ID...I have dreams that happen within the next week. I can't tell you who you'll marry, but I can tell you certain things about your life. :think: It's weird.
I also believe in Ghosts and stuff. My dad haunts my mom's house. It's where he died. He turns lights on and off, and he moves stuff around. And there's a Ghost house in Kingfisher Oklahoma that has been torn down, but if you go drive by it at night, you'll see lights where the windows used to be. It's freaky. :scared:
I believe one day we'll all stop fighting over dirt and start loving each other like we are supposed to. :loveya:
I believe people are mostly good, and the bad only makes the good that much more good. And that's all that keeps me going and sleeping at night.
I believe we ought to kill all child molestors because they are incurable, and have no value here on earth. :grr:
I also believe the democrats are superior because we care about others, animals, the enviroment, and we try to take care of all of them. Maybe this sounds naive, but I truly believe that we'll win in the end. :hippie:
Duckie

[noiretextatique]

69. all things work to our good

that includes bush, inc. that's :scared:

[kathee]

70. Custodial religions..

are killing society. ALL of em. Jesus and dudes like him had the right idea...if he was real, which I don't know. That Paul/Saul guy screwed up everything.

That we as a human race used to be a helluva lot smarter.And kinder.

That conspiracies mentioned and chewed on here are in general not only right, but probably much WORSE.

That America will fall as did the Roman Empire, only much further. Karma.

Outside forces.


That earth is a school, and some of us are failing miserably! No, not really. Without suffering, there can be no compassion. But I believe those outside forces are screwing with us BAD!

[AlienGirl]

71. I can't believe I'm going to admit to this...

I should know better. But on some level I am absolutely, 100% certain that the nature of people is good, and that the evil they do is an aberration; and that there is no one who can't change. I believe this despite a complete lack of scientific proof, and in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

Tucker

[Zomby Woof]

72. Only because you never met me!

:evilgrin:

[AlienGirl]

74. LOL!!

I thought you moved out of Seattle to get away from *me*!

Tucker

[tarkus]

77. But.... That's true!

Any evil comes directly from our environment. In a culture that rewards greed and competition, there are going to be a lot of greedy and competitive people. I seriously believe that a society that rewards love and equality will be full of loving, fair people.

[AlienGirl]

79. Except that it's never happened

Unfortunately, in all of human history such a society has never existed. Logically, I know it can't exist because humanity is so aggressive and power-hungry.

But emotionally, I can't shake the feeling that individual humans, one-on-one, without exception, all have the capacity to become wonderful, kind, caring people.

The contradiction between head and heart is staggering.

Tucker

[arwalden]

73. That My Hair Will Grow Back. That My 30" Jeans Will Fit Me Again.

sigh.

[Susang]

75. I believe that a new lipstick can actually change my life

I'm always out looking for that perfect cosmetic that will turn me into Catherine Zeta-Jones or Milla Jovovich. You've probably already guessed that I haven't found it yet.

(However, I did find a few that turned me into Ernest Borgnine! All I can say is, never buy generic skin care products)

[noiretextatique]

80. well...i only wear mac "desire" lipstick

the only color that works 24/7 for me :D it turns me into a irresitable MAC diva...that,and a little cleavage.
i know you are a total cutie, susang :7

[BigMcLargehuge]

76. That the Jerry Springer Show has a higher and important purpose

I am writing a story about that now. When it's done I'll find a way to get it to all my DU pals.

[GOPBasher]

78. That George W. Bush is a Dark Lord of the Sith.

I think he was trained by Darth Sideous himself. (Unless you're a big "Star Wars" like I am, you probably don't get the joke.)

[sexybomber]

82. my socks and pens are alive.

and they don't like me, so they run away.
