You ever notice how they always want you to prove to them what your saying is true? Not once have I had someone say they would look into something I have said to prove or disprove my statement. I think that this is because on a subconscious level they don't want to be wrong and its easier for them to discredit you when you provide the information. than it would be if they wanted to be informed and educate themselves by finding out the truth that is out there...
Or sometimes, they'll use various PC techniques. For example, when I called out the Federal Reserve on another MB last year, not only did one poster use the word "conspiracy theory", but then another poster came in out of nowhere and said how those who criticize the bankers, Federal Reserve, while throwing in the Rothchilds in it are spreading anti-Jewish propaganda. Almost immediately, this DERAILED the discussion(and THIS despite a few other smart posters who saw the FR as just that - a PRIVATE BANK).
It was alot like the OJ trial, for example, when Simpson lawyers used the race card when they had everything stacked against them, and it got OJ off the hook b/c of just that. Same here - once the other sides uses PC terms like "conspiracy theory", the race card like "racist against blacks", "anti-Semitism", etc, then all of a sudden everyone just comes to a stand-still, pretty much afraid that if they continue to criticize, that they may be indeed spewing out racist comments. That's been part of this BS Political Correctness for a quite a while now.
