Which is actually good... if they had claimed to believe in none, I could have started posting the 'skeptic movements' conspiracy/hoax theories they have invented to try and explain away psi claims

i can not review my choice but i intended to choose "None of the above AND I do not believe psi exists."
as it came out it seems i chose "None of the above AND I believe psi exists."

did i check the wrong box ? , or is this a conspiracy ?

it also seems strange that three people chose : "None of the above AND I believe psi exists."
i think , most proponents here believe in at least one of these conspiracy's

I haven't voted. The closest that I don't have much trouble believing is the government/alien thing but it would be more that the government either actively encouraged or simply did nothing to discourage belief in aliens in order to keep government military secrets secret.

Not sure if that's covered by that option.

Skeptics often misreport and make mistakes so I think I would opt for the former

Thanks for confirming materialists are conspriacy theorists

Of course it is ... tick that box unless you have decided it is not a serious possiblity that military/defense organizations have been playing psychological games with Russia and even their own public.


'The public's right to know is the Russians' right to know. The Russians read our newspapers, magazines and journals very carefully indeed' - former CIA director Richard Helms in a 1978 David Frost interview.

He must be wrong, our defense/inteligence organizations wouldn't ever conspire against their own public's knowledge would they?

..."In war-time, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies" - Winston Churchill

i maybe would have voted for this conspiracy :

A Dalek Conspiracy Revealed On QI?

David Mitchell: It's like trying to police a country with Daleks!
Jimmy Carr: Which would never work with the disable access we got now. The Daleks can get everywhere.
David Mitchell: Jimmy, are you saying that you think that disable access is a Dalek conspiracy?
Jimmy Carr: Yes. That is *exactly* what I'm saying.

The last Dalek episode I watched, the darn things could fly!

Very funny clip though. Most Canadian humour involves remote villages and duct tape...

Does anybody else think that the original Dr Who(s) were much better than the more recent revival, which seems to have lost any believable tension - the actors just seem to be hamming it up!

No way. The new Doctor Who is wonderful. Excellent casting, writing, and visual effects. It is different though.

Nope
The new ones are better in so many ways: plot, drama, humour, visuals, someone dying or getting lost in eternity...every week. And the 'companions' are so much more interesting.
