Crackpottery!OMG! A mod will lock this thread!yomamma said:So I got this CD by a "Motivational Speaker" Sam Meranto...I haven't listened to it yet, because I have no reason to...but just by the CD cover I can laugh at at how much this guy is trying to scam people..I laughed for a long while at this...(The colors are annoying, I know...)

Faith healing might exist...It might be form god but It might a form of confindce or somthing like that.Mk said:It is heartbreaking to me. How could you laugh? The naive are paying him to help them. Kind of like how if I saw a faith healer on the street, I'd knock him out. Damn you, son of a *****! I wish the government would stop these guys, it is counter productive to society, and they get rich by taking advantage of you.
Of cource it has it's going though a slow a painful death.yomamma said:So...this thread's gotten SLLLOWW
Do you really want the government having that much power? I would prefer the freedom for stupid people to loose money, then give freedom to a government. No good will ever come of that, no matter how excused it might be.Mk said:It is heartbreaking to me. How could you laugh? The naive are paying him to help them.

C'mon man, its not like 1942. Big brother is not going to watching us.Do you really want the government having that much power? I would prefer the freedom for stupid people to loose money, then give freedom to a government. No good will ever come of that, no matter how excused it might be
I don't care, that argument could be used to shut down nearly any business in existence. Casino's would be gone, all forms of cigarettes would be gone (you're slowly ruining you're health, shouldn't the government protect you from it), most hard liquors could be removed from shelves. Once you go down that road it's hard to say where to stop. Besides, what about freedom of expression, speech and religion? To say that the government can stop you from claiming to faith heal is directly contradictory of this, since many people genuinly believed that they have healed themselves with faith. Freedom means we must take responsibilty for our actions, not come crying to the government to protect us from ourselves.Mk said:C'mon man, its not like 1942. Big brother is not going to watching us.
How do you know? What examples? Democracy would not let us go very far at all.Once you go down that road it's hard to say where to stop. Besides, what about freedom of expression, speech and religion?
Right on man! Maybe we should start an anti-con artist vigilante group. Of course once things get going its hard to stop and control. But that is also what freedom is about, we don't have to come cryin to the government to protect us from ourselves..Freedom means we must take responsibilty for our actions, not come crying to the government to protect us from ourselves.
Well, what about the fact that people genuinly believe in faith healing as a religion? Can the government say that you're religion is a hoax and stop you from trying to practice it? I don't care how stupid you may think it might be, it's their consitutional right to practice whatever religion they might like. Now, as for those people taking advantage of them, it is impossible to prove that without proving their religion is false. Once again, this cannot happen according to our constitution. I could claim that I am god and try to make a cult around me and get a lot of money. Granted only stupid people would probably join and support me, but the government cannot say that whatever religion I make is wrong.Mk said:How do you know? What examples?

I'm just trying to say, like how we have the FCC monitoring drugs and toys companies put on the market, maybe we should have an XCC making sure to get rid of con artists and scammers. Right now the FBI does that, but that isn't what they're trained to do, and they don't bust many.

Wasn't there one person who managed to escape, a couple months ago? I forgot who is name was, but he didn't last long in the outside world. This place changes people: I doubt if I could ever integrate into society again.yomamma said:You never leave...
