So there is no evil? Well, let's hope you never come home and find your wife being throttled on the floor by some jackass. Let's see what you do about the evil THEN. I’ve heard it all before.

Whereas those who have had the luxury of stable, linear lives seem to be handicapped in that area. On the other hand, I believe that it's what one learns from the experiences they have that's important, not so much the experience. I believe alcoholism was the best thing to ever happen to me, the military the worst. Ironic. One can learn to be a better person recovering from alcoholism, ones experiences in the military render them unworthy of decent company. Congratulations on gleaning all possible from all your varied experiences. Takes a man to do that.

The kids can download albums I can look at and it's a way to communicate and get news quickly you can't get anywhere else. Internationally. Besides, I have nothing to hide, except maybe my OPINION...which if I can't THINK it, WRITE it or SAY it, then we're all phucked, aren't we?

Do you think we are so eager to get funding for our research we are desperately clinging to a false orthodoxy so as not to threaten our grants? Or maybe you believe we work for an evil UN and government conspiracy out to create a massive bureaucracy that must hide the truth. Maybe you believe we're out to destroy freedom and liberty and steal everybody's money and this is the lie we're promoting so we'll have an excuse to do that. We've heard all these here before. They are the Anomaly Homilies. It answers the eternal question, why would anyone want to ignore the truth that is so obvious to me? but you don’t believe us?

This isn't the board for this discussion either, but I'll say I still hold the same opinion of your source. Look at it this way, if the oceanic crust of the Indian Ocean had lifted by 2000' over a broad area, that would displace sea water, and the entire sea level would rise at least several feet. We haven't seen that, have we? and I’m surprised you do, considering the big banks that own it now, and all your data, too.

He gathers all the data from open sources...the one you called 'crappola". The bouys down in Indonesia were online for months, and he would go to them for the readings and report back....as soon as the sea floor continued to rise after 3 months, they were taken offline....just like the radiation maps/links after Fukishima....I'll see if I can find one video where he goes through it.
