Describe an ideal or belief you have that the majority of folks would consider "out there"

again...spill...

well i mean i believe in pretty much all conspiracy theories ExCEPT the Kennedy assassination ones. Oswald acted alone.

also, i think some people think reincarnation is pretty out there

and "The Secret"

I don't think they are particularly out there, but I certainly have very different views to a lot of my colleagues on political issues, especially things like immigration/animalrights/terrorism. and i also have a different take on a lot of historical events, and the nature of social reality to most people, but we won't go there

but i avoid discussing anything controversial at work because it REALLY isnt worth it

I seem - like the person above - to have a different take in almost everything, but most of the time I am too lazy to discuss. Some of the things that I believe that people find me weird for saying:

- That there is no time
- That there shouldn't be borders or countries
- That corruption is a lot bigger than we imagine
- That certain people or a certain establishment, is constantly pretending to do something for the poorest people in the world to let us think its a problem that we all wanna solve, when not only it would be easy to solve but they are profiting from it

and many other things

i agree with you mallory. there shouldn't be any countries

and i dont know if its related to your thoughts or not, but does anyone else think its strange that poverty levels were decreasing right up until LBJ declared his "war on poverty"?????? The amount of people in poverty has been rising exponentially since this "war on poverty" began . if it's not sick, i dont know what is

one of my friends was shocked when i pointed out to him that a lot of borders (for example some of the north african countries like algeria) were drawn pretty much arbitrarily (hence the straight lines) and have little to do with geography or ethnic considerations.

related to that i think free movement of people (between/across borders) should be a fundamental right

I agree. The idea that we should be restrained to a certain area/nationality just because we happen to be born there by chance is not only opposing the human nature, but also only good for those who want to restrain poverty and wealth, in order to maintain exploitation. It's a pretty old fashioned idea.

indeed.

i dunno, i said perhaps there should be legal prostitution in the UK so prostitutes could have rights etc. my friend was a bit like

if brothels were legal though, it'd be safer, better conditions etc. it's gonna happen, be it legal or not.

i'd agree with that as well, it is never going to be eradicated, so at the very least it should be effectively policed for the welfare and protection of those involved. there would be a lot less people trafficking if this were the case

its very similar to the abortion issue in that sense

i believe the illuminati exist, but i dont know if theyre shapeshifting reptiles. *willl look into it*

i think heroin should be made legal on prescription to registered users.

i used to be really open minded about the reptilian thing. i read some of David Icke's books, & at the time it sounded plausible. i started hanging out at the forum on his website & after a while some of the BULLSHIT that people were coming out with really put me off. there are some serious wackos who tend to be really into the way out conspiracy theories, like, people who need psychiatric help...real paranoiacs (does that word exist??)

anyhoo, there're clips on youtube where people say that Bush's eyes are turning reptilian, therefore that's proof that he's one of them. i don't see it myself.

it is always the extremists that ruin perfectly good ideas for the rest of us.

I really don't want to go into the reptillian thing. I tried to reda one of his books I found by chance, it was shocking in a way and made me laugh hysterically.

Anyway, about prostitution, abortion and drugs. I believe that freedom requires tollerance. If we want freedom to be what we want to be, we have to grant freedom so other people can be whatever as well. We gotta protect their rights, and protect their freedom even if we don't agree with it.

This is what I don't get about religious people. They should be glad they live in a free country in which they are allowed to choose their own religion rather than have it forced upon like in the old days. Why don't they cherish it and grant other people the same freedom? Why do they want their beliefs mixed with laws?
