If you were all that smart, you'd know that there were people, even 500 years ago, who theorized that the planet was round. People were burned as heretics for lots of other things than their theories of world topography/shape, chiefly their religious beliefs. If you weren't so absurd, you'd use another example to try and illustrate your own opposition to the mainstream. You've used that one repeatedly, and I can only gather it's because it's the only comparison you know.

Well, let's see. You'll say that images of Roman fasces in our capitol are because they're fascist and will base that on the fact that that image was chosen for use by Italian fascists and because the word "fascist" itself has the same root word. But if you were able to step back and look at the image itself and learn some art history--as you need to do with the spread eagle, too--you'll see that the fasces symbol of power and jurisdiction is far older than Italian fascism and that that image, like the spread eagle, has been used over and over again by various civilizations in architectures throughout history, not all of them fascist. Ask any art or architecture historian to confirm this for you and he will. Only conspiracists believe there's anything inherently sinister in that image. You conspiracists believe there's sinister meaning in classic visual motifs because your paranoiac minds desperately need to attach dangerous meaning where there actually is none. Just like you do here.

Little tip for you, GS. I'm a lot smarter than you can even fathom.

Hey, I agree with you for once!

GS
you are one of the reasons conspiracists have a bad name.
grow up, be more open minded and be skeptical of all, not just the government.

oh poor poor great spirit you my friend do not have issues you have subscriptions.



p.s. have a bad one:jointsmile:

I think GS watched V for Vendetta too many times.

o for christsake these symbols have been around so fucking long

i mean jesus hilter just stole a whole bunch of shit from other cultures and people

i mean honestly the eagle has been the symbol of america well over a hundred years before hitler


i no it makes people sad to think but
IN 2 YEARS BUSH WILL NO LONGER BE IN OFFICE
HE IS NOT SOME SUPER GENIUS
HE WILL NOT TAKE OVER THE WORLD
HE IS JUST RETARTED

for fucks sake please get over these fucking ideas
they are not revolutionary or even intellegent

Hmmm OK

Lets look at the UN symbol, its Blue and White (Colours of Israel) and the centre of its map point is some fantasy Nazi idea of the origin of Aryans too.

How fucked up is that? LMAO

Well then, the sky is falling for sure :stoned:

GS: Seriously - let's say you are right, Bush is going to welcome Armaggeddon (let's say he's an End Timer and he's taking the Bible literally) there will be weaponization of/in space and aliens will be blamed next (once those damned terrorists are all out of the way) to keep mankind enslaved in fear forever in some global orgasm of Neo-con political militairy industrial black-ops uber power doublethink takeover? You know, because Jesus says it's OK...

Pfft! Not while I'm thinking this sharply! They won't pull the wool (or tinfoil for that matter) over my eyes!!

Or at least lets blaze one together and agree its all really screwy for sure, but talking about it on a pot forum won't change the world ;)

Yah I agree with Birdgirl, and everyone else who thinks your fucked in the head. The eagle is just a symbol, its a powerful looking figure, and people recognize it and like it.... wow, like why would a government use a symbol that people like! you totally opened my eyes to fascism, and there amazing interconnections because of that eagle!, GS.....:yippee: :rolleyes:

unless your just doing this to piss us all off, cuz your an idiot, that seems likely too.
