Society & Culture the " MIND=BLOWN " thread

No, no it isn't at all. Handguns are incredibly inaccurate - forget Hollywood, they're very difficult to use well.

e.g. first firing training with Austeyr - easily hitting groupings within target from 100m away
first training with Browning pistol - hitting 50% of the target (and not everyone achieves this) from 25m away.

It's much easier to hit a stationary target from 3m away with a handgun than it is to hit 90+% of people in the head who are running around fearing for their lives with a rifle.

I don't really care about, if it happened or if it didn't. neither should anyone else until we have the high moral ground. Currently we're standing in blood in a very deep pit. It curdles my blood seeing an "Australian" survivor of the holocaust recounting what went on for them. The genocide against aboriginals still continues in this country, thats the only holocaust we should be worried about. Not sure how you can survive nazis then come here and do onto aboriginals what was done onto you.

Let the white guilt flow through you

You'd be surprised.

than it is to hit 90+% of people in the head who are running around fearing for their lives with a rifle.

What if they aren't running around?

Pittsburg
New Hampshire
Vegas
Boston
Phoenix

Only parts of Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Philly and parts of NY and California are really bad out of that lot right?

Parts of Denver are pretty rough. San Antonio was rough as guts just outside of down town. Plus the ones you mentioned.

Is that being narrated by the same guy from the gas chamber video?

The odds of a person being born at the same time (generally speaking, not to the day) with the same DNA sequence are 140 trillion : 1
So the fact that you are, who you are is amazing.

Not really. the chances of being born with DNA is 1 : 1

DNA sequence, not structure, don't be a wise arse.

It's like Lotto. It's not amazing that six numbers come out, it's only amazing if they are the same six you picked.

Matthew Priddis is the only player to have represented West Coast who was born in 1985.

1983: 8 players
1984: 8 players
1985: Priddis
1986: 7 players
1987: 7 players

He shares this distinction with Shane Ellis (1960), Ross Glendinning (1956) and Robert Wiley (1955) who joined the club in our early days as mature aged players.

Aside from the strange "behaviour" of electrons when they are measured, along with the ongoing evolution of the theories of quantum physics, the only thing that has blown my mind is when I came to the realisation that 9/11 could not have occurred as per the official OSB/KSM/19 hijacker account. Not going into long details or replying to any retorts here on this issue, nor advocating any further discussion thereof (not the thread for it, people already worked hard to move on from the Port Arthur massacre), but suffice to say, when I actually realised - mind blown, even cried a bit etc. Not sure how they did it or who exactly was involved, but that is beside the point when one comes across countless facts that conflict with the official story. Changed my whole view of the world.

Heres one i dropped on a mate a while ago.

If you are trying to catch a fly on a window or fly screen, blow on it and pick it up with your fingers. Your breath should be strong enough to stop it from flying away.

I've never heard of anybody else doing this, i just figured it out as a kid when we used to have fly killing contests.

Before you cast judgement I would watch it, the numbers don't add up. And most people who don't believe the official story think that the holocaust did happen, just not to the extent that we are made to believe.

I would just warn you that the whole "it happened but not as bad as we thought" IS actually a common Holocaust denier technique. Instead of outright denial, they take a more subtle approach by conceding that some killing of Jews occurred, but downplaying and minimising it as much as possible. The numbers are lower than reported, most the deaths were natural causes or fortunes of war, it was isolated killings by individuals and not a widespread program, it was really no worse than [insert real or imagined Western atrocities here], etc, etc.

In this way, they try to present it as a legitimate academic argument about numbers and extent, rather than explicit denial it happened at all. "I'm not one of those crackpots that say it didn't happen, I just want a legitimate debate about it!". I haven't seen your video, but I assume it says alot of this kind of stuff?

Anyway, just saying you need to be careful. Just because someone acknowledges it happened doesn't mean they're not what we would call a denialist.

The video actually presents logistical reasons as to way the Shoah was greatly exaggerated

Please watch it, I posted it like a month ago, I can't remember the specifics. If you don't want to watch it there's no point discussing it
