Give over. We're not here as a replacement for Digg. If he wants to post a full list of his bookmarks, then he could at least provide some context.

The context is the thread. It's not a random list of bookmarks, it's a set of related news items. There is no need to write a paragraph for each link, the structure of the thread doesn't require it. So what if that makes it not like a normal discussion - the great thing about internet forums is the flexibility of expression they give. If you want a 'real' discussion on apocalyptic events, go start a thread with lots of paragraphs in it; if you don't want one, then you're just whinging for no good reason. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Related? Not in any meaningful way:

- Volcano in Alaska
- Earthquake in Russia
- China says thanks for helping after an earthquake
- Earthquake in Greece (which, according to whatsisname, is a news story that hasn't hit the mass media, but he links to CNN)
- Link to a 3 year old article that seems to be about Russia selling arms to Iran and Syria, but which then starts going on about "Zionist oligarchs" and alliances between Brazil, Russia and God I lost all interest.

Now, I can see the way the earthquakes and volcanoes are related, but where does the conspiracy-laden rant come into it? He certainly seems to think so, considering he said "A techy would post 2 links on surprising natural events, and another on a (now) known important political manouvre, and leave the lads here to make up their own minds." Is he saying that the Zionists have got an earthquake-ray and are planning to take over the world by shaking it to bits?

That sort of post won't get you very far on this forum. You're listing lots of unconnected things and implying by your tone that they add up to a point. But you're leaving the point to the readers' imagination (in order to avoid being argued down) and suggesting that you will be proved right by future events. That kinda stuff works on stupid people. Unfortunately this forum has a disgustingly high proportion of smart people. So unless you talk about specifics and actually set forth a reasoned argument, you're fucked. So here are some questions for you. Please answer in normal English. What have sunken cities got to do with anything? What have civilisations and planets got to do with anything? What have the Mayans got to do with anything? (with the sort of foreknowledge people attribute to the Mayans you'd kinda expect they'd have put up a better fight really) What 'races' are 'lost'? Which extinct beings do you mean? By what mechanism was Nostradamus able to know the future?

Ok, now that's interesting. I agree that a lot of mythic writing tends to point to something different to our current understanding of world history and I wouldn't be surprised if something closer to the mythic turns out to be true. It's fairly established now that the human population was reduced to a few thousand a long time ago which kinda explains the gap where the indo-european culture/language is supposed to be. Or explains why all our stuff has common roots, rather. I wouldn't be surprised if those shared myths are talking about real events.

They're all apocalyptic events - big natural disasters and the increase of war. It's all the build-up to Armageddon, or might be (but probably isn't). And he's now expanded onto a more general scope of [future] extinctions, not just the one from the Bible. Whether or not it's bollocks isn't relevant to whether it's interesting. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Yes, fine. But you can only see that connection now that he's started explaining himself. Before that, it was a load of unconnected links. Which was my point.

No, the connection came with the (original) thread's title, "53's Horseman Thread" (as in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) and was confirmed with the first couple of URLs. Anyway, I'm not going to continue going on about this; if you want to, may I recommend using a lemon. :) `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

You should try Zattoo, it gives you all sorts of crazy TV channels that you wouldn't normally see. I particularly like Russia Today 69, also known by its French name soixante-neuf (sixty-nine), is a sexual activity. In this position, two people orient themselves such that each person's mouth is near the other's genitals, simultaneously performing oral sex. This position can be performed in opposite-sex or same-sex pairings.
