This person was obviously not alive 20 years ago. Probably not even 15 years ago.
 
I don't need to post anything, I'll just invite you to where I live. Perhaps we can people watch at one of the TWO walmarts in our town of 50,000, that place is mecca for idiocy, or at least they employ mind control...
 
I think the video is just a joke.

Sounds like a person in her 30's or 40's. Obviously that person has not paid close attention to sprinklers or mists of water drops on a sunny day.

And this person can vote, drive a car and own a gun. :rolleyes:

Or perhaps the video is a joke.
 
I wonder if she home schools her kids

Oh my bad. I have my sound turned off by default at work. When I saw the captions, I just assumed there was no sound.
 
I really hope that is a joke. Otherwise there is no hope for humanity.

If it's a joke, then she's a good actor.

Who wants to bet she's a Ron Paul supporter?

I support Ron Paul. : (

Her attitude that 'they' ruin it for 'us' oozes out of the ground from everywhere and not just around our sun and moon. She ought to vote for Ralph 'whatever the heck' Nader. He won't do anything about those visible spectra that have cropped up in the past 20 years, but he's sure to crack the whip on the metalic oxide salts that cause them.

The narrator summed it up in one of her lines:

"We as a nation have got to ask ourselves what the hell is going on."

She's right about one thing: this wasn't happennig 20 years ago.

She's just wrong about what.

What wasn't happening 20 years ago is that any fool with a grade school education could point a video camera, express their opinions and have it posted to millions of viewers.

20 years ago only your friends and neighbours knew you were a fool.

If she's a bad actor, then it's is not a joke.

So she's either being serious or she's a good actor.

Every good technology has its bad side too. It seems one of the bad sides of the internet, especially the easy access to it now, is that not only can the idiots post their opinions and share it with millions of viewers, they can also find all the other idiots of the world and form their own cheering squads, support groups, and generally convince one another they aren't idiots. 20 years ago, the idiots were kept pretty isolated from other idiots and were told they were idiots by everyone around them until they shut up and stopped bothering people with their nonsense.

The video was posted on youtube by somebody other than the narrator, since it is entitled "Woman doesn't know about light refraction". Usually joke videos have much worse acting than this one. But it's puzzling to me how the poster would have gotten this video from the narrator, since they are obviously not friends ... unless it is a joke. Weird.

It reminds me of a scene from Dr. Strangelove, when the crazy general explains why he knows that fluoridation of drinking water is really a communist plot to poison Americans. Since he becomes fatigued from "the physical act of love", there must be something in the water. LOL.

That video is posted by someone other than the narrator, but the narrator has a multitude of other bizarre videos posted to Youtube.

I'm not sure if the sprinkler video is legit or a very good imitation of her typical performance.

None the less, I give her a lot of credit for diligent experimentation with her video camera even if she needs either a better selection of reading material or a lower dose of whatever medication she's on.

She shouldn't spend so much time looking straight into the Sun. It can't be good for her eyes.

Or he just got the video from her website and uploaded it to Youtube. Or ripped her Youtube video and re-uploaded it.

Her youtube main page has a long diatribe about government/corporate conspiracies:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dbootsthediva

Also, lots of comments by people posted there, so at least she has heard what people think of her ideas. (Whether she chooses to believe other people over her own imagination is another matter.)

That sprinkler rainbow video is turning up in places other than youtube:

http://whatthecrap.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/sprinkler-rainbow-conspiracy/
I guess she had posted a downloadable version of it somewhere at one time, and these people simply saved a copy of it for themselves.

Yup, all possibilities. (Though I didn't know you could rip youtube videos)

You can rip videos off of Youtube.

If this woman is serious, then you know what is really sad?

She probably showed the video to some friends and family. Everyone she showed it to must have agreed with her and thought she had just uncovered some brilliant evidence for chemicals in the environment, gov. mind control drugs, aliens, etc. Otherwise someone would has stopped the video from being put on the internet in the first place.

That's the really sad part. If this is serious, there arepeople who will believe her or do already.

If this isn't a joke there is only one response: :smile::cry::smile::cry:

On the other hand, if it is a joke: :smile::smile:

That, or they just gave up trying to talk her out of it because they know she has a few screws loose and it was easier to nod and tell her to put it on YouTube than it was to try to explain light refraction.

See that? I bet DARPA is now replacing all dboot videos with harmless websites to cover up the scam.

Hm. OK. I find it easier to believe that dboot is doing all these tongue-in-cheek.

I think a bona-fide fool, who really believes what they were doing, would not be able to discover so many anomalies without evertually seeking a bigger picture to bring everything together. It would not be in the best interests of their credibility to produce so many disparate videos.

But it would in the best interests of a hoaxer to make each video look like a stand-alone discovery (makes it seem more real).

Which would the general public be more likely to believe in a video:

One guy who stumbles across a bunch of little green men in a field and videotapes it?

or

One guy who stumbles across a bunch of little green men in a field six times and makes one long videotape of them?

The isolated incident surely seems more plausible to many.
 
  • #29
Hmmm. I'll respectfully disagree with you, Dave. I think a joker would just make one or a couple videos and be done, not wanting to spend an inordinate amount of time on it.

But dboots has made lots of these videos, over a 1 year period. That indicates to me a real belief and obsession with this whole conspiracy stuff.

That's my opinion, anyway.
