Well just because were coming up for the release of zeitgeist 2 I thought I'd try and balance your views on zeitgeist. So please watch these response videos to it debunking sections of the film using their own facts against them. I'm not trying to tell you what your views are but you should watch it its interesting.   | ||

Uhg lol. There's a reason real research requires references... So people can go look at them to make sure they weren't written in crayon by your little brother when the facts seem off instead of just taking your word for it that I'd agree they're a credible source of information. Oh well! The world's ending in 2012 anyway. | ||

LOL Could they make these videos anymore flashy? Good lord, what a squalid, shameful waste of humanity these people are. | ||

Although depending on your geographical location, It might not be Winter in December ;P | ||

Not to mention debunk videos are usually highly annoying and pointless. The rat poison analogy just made me want to smack my head on the wall. | ||

This reminds me of when Farenheit 9/11 came out, and it was stupid. And then other documentaries came out telling us why it was stupid, but those documentaries were also stupid. | ||

I thought Zeitgiest was a pretty intriguing movie, and I actually watched the beginning (the part about religion and myths) three times, and I looked some of this stuff up myself but couldn't find anything that would give it merit. So I'm glad someone actually did real research and put it on youtube  More of my thoughts on zeitgiest- the stuff about 9/11 and banks is pretty absurd, although the RFID chips might actually be the most reputable claim the movie made. Also, for the people who are wondering about december 25th- I'm pretty sure this video is correct in claiming that that particular date was chosen because it coincided with pagan holidays and the ancient church was trying to wipe them out. | ||

Putting Christmas then wipes out a pagan tradition and creates a strong Christian tradition without pissing off anyone who enjoys their midwinter festivals. If you think about it for a minute it does seem a little odd that the census across the entire Roman Empire would be called in the middle of winter. Summer seems much more likely. | ||

Since the zeitgeist site is full of sources somebody should just make a video of checking a select bunch of them and demonstrating how they were misinterpretted or bullshit in themselves. That would require actual work, so don't expect that in the near future. It's far easier just to start blathering about stuff you think you heard this one time. | ||
