I’ve received literally thousands of comments on this blog since it started in November 2011. Although I get a chuckle out of many of them, a handful rise to the level of the truly epic. On this page I’ll post some of the more noteworthy comments I’ve received.

Drew Colwell (Jan. 17, 2012) was nice enough to accuse me of causing wars, suicides and psychological depression:

Depression is caused by people like you, suicide is caused by people like you, wars are started because of people like you and its all because people like you make it too hard for the rest of us to accept who we are. It creates a division in our communities and country that will be very hard to eradicate because its exactly what the people who have created and control this very fucked up system we call America want. What is your personal gain searching for the wrong in this video? Is it your day job? Or do you just have nothing better to do in your pathetic life because you thought that your career was going to fulfill you and are confused that it doesn’t?

Aqeela Sherrils (Feb. 12, 2012) actually appears in Thrive toward the end. He is evidently a believer in “Afrocentrism,” a worldview whose more extreme versions manifest themselves in a conspiracy theory that African peoples once possessed advanced technology that was stolen by European colonizers, who (of course) rewrote history to erase any evidence of Africans’ achievements. Here his is spouting this rather unorthodox reading of world history:

Are you really serious with these questions? or is someone paying you to say these simple idiotic statements. Ancient Civilization had no electric light, air crafts or heating??? Where do you live, in a cave. How do you think they built the Pyramids, with shovels and hoes? If you think that this euro-centric world view that you hold is the truth, then you are sadly mistaken. Do some research sir. The Ancients had Aircrafts, Space-crafts, Ocean Vessels, Heating, Electricity, Lasers, etc…everything we know, we STOLE from them and claim it as technology that we invented.

Myles O’Howe (March 26, 2012) is a cannabis activist with his own blog filled with bizarre conspiracy theories related to the suppression of hemp and cannabis, which he sees as a miracle plant that can cure everything that ails human society. His comments on this blog have been legion, but here’s a choice excerpt, calling me a Nazi for not caring one way or the other about cannabis legalization:

All this anti pot fascist mindset is why BLOOD FOR OIL wars and WHY THIS WORLD ISNT THRIVING. Some history on Du pont will clear things up. Dupont patented process for making paper from TREES and poison the SAME YEAR THEY MADE HEMP ILLEGAL 1937. Every year Millions of lives are lost around the world from the lack of food or medicine. Hemp is the best food source, and the best medicine. Hemp is the most superior resource on earth, why can’t ending cannabis prohibition be more popular than voting? People who don’t care about ending cannabis prohibition are just like the racist KKK bastards who DON’T CARE ABOUT particular “races” PEOPLE WHO DONT CARE ABOUT WEED DONT CARE IF IT GETS LEGAL OR NOT WE DON’T WANT LEGALIZATION. Legalization sounds like the corporate takeover of the cannabis industry via government legislation (over-taxation, over-regulation and over-control) We need repeal of an unconstitutional law that has filled our prisons with nonviolent cannabis users. The prohibition against marijuana was unconstitutional from its inception. We don’t want legalization of marijuana which leaves the government to control and regulate it. Thomas Jefferson was a hemp farmer. In early Colonial times people could pay their taxes with hemp! Repeal obamacare is popular why not repeal violation of human rights? it took 13 years to end alcohol prohibition, and its too many decades later its time to turn things around WTF no more violation of human rights and propaganda directed to divide society based on 1 plant get real!

Stratoblaster (June 2, 2012) was another frequent commenter, particularly on crop circles. After lengthy arguments he finally went off the deep end into 9/11 Truth territory, posting videos to the ultimate world-class 9/11 nutbar–Dr. Judy Wood, who believes that secret beam weapons from outer space destroyed the World Trade Center towers. You just can’t get nuttier than this theory.

Here’s a link that ties many of the subjects we’ve rattled on about: 911/Thermite, Tesla, energy, and possibly an tangential explanation of a non-benign use of a similar type of tech related to the circle formations. Human? probably… If its new tech, its pretty sad that this is what they did with it. She’s got more degrees than you n me put together (yup I only have one) BS,MS, PhD~VirginiaTech. Try not to get angry o.k. ? and another (I know coast to coast is only for crazies) and her website: http://drjudywood.com/new.html maybe it relates to those pretty pictures in the grass. Maybe not. We aren’t suited to contemplate the mysteries universe together, it seems. But I’ll keep trying.

Jay (May 24, 2012) was kind enough to let me know that he finds my blog very entertaining–and then turned around and threw the ever-present accusation that I’m a paid agent:

ha ha ha. . you don’t fool anybody buddy. we all know who’s interests you serve no matter how many times you say you work alone. what’s funny to me is watching your paradigm sink. that’s about all I have to say about this comical blog and i’m smiling the whole time. laughin atcha’…… : D and yes you are a ‘paid disinformation agent’.

Jon (May 2, 2012) is evidently a fan of Austrian economics. But more entertainingly, he believes I’m downright “evil” for writing this blog:

I would truly love for the author of this evil website to “debunk” anything written by Ludwig von Mises. Perhaps being by actually reading “Human Action”. Of course, this website is probably set up by the powers that be, and this comment will likely be rejected.

SAM (April 25, 2012) is the winner, providing my all-time favorite comment I’ve ever received on this blog:
