Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2007 5:06 am Post subject: Making money from the unknown |
|
|
Seeing as there is seems to be alot of threads on the supernatural/paranormal/aliens etc it seems like a hot topic.
Anyway how could you make money from this? What would be the best way to legally exploit believers in pseudosciences/strange beliefs?
I don't mean obvious things such as becoming a psychic or a medium. Since i have almost no marketable skills(unless I want to work on a golf course..)and I don't want to go back to Uni, point me at the money.

No, that's not it. JMO changed the title of the thread from what it was, 'How can I make money from psuedoreligions recruitment' , to what you see as his interpretation. My response to 'How can I make money from the psuedoreligions recruitment?' was: "You could crucify yourself (seeing how you so gleefully gave me the piss on the 'Are there ghosts?' thread, along with Mindmetoo). I'd pay to see that. You could be wearing a pith helmet and holding a clipboard, an 'inexplicable phenomena debunker/investigator'. As you are dying, asphixiated by your bodily position nailed to the cross as it were, you could call out to the heavenly father and ask him to forgive yourself for trying to make money out of this stageshow (hoping there would be no divine response, evidence for your atheism). God (or gods) would realize you have little to no spiritual life and are on a mission to squash that bug. They'd allow you to hang, exhale your last fetid breath, and thank you for inspiring people to spirituality by your 'crack reporter' crassness. So what are you, a Super Atheist? In debating with you I get an idea of what you're like, what you're after. Ultra atheism? Mindmetoo is into computer programming, this pure, clean, scientific language of computers. You are into debunking the Catholicism of Ireland via whatever comes into your path. I'm into finding god, as well, and not as fiercely opposed to any god as you seem. Is science and computer science godless? Sure seems to be a cross to bear. Anti-Irish Catholicism a cross to bear, and rebel against? It's all over you.

You seem young. How would you make money from this? How would one make money from encouraging spirituality? You assume it's a money maker all-round. You're having a field day with this. I have to thank you because I think you're torn, you hate believing/religion. But you don't want to conform with what will take you home because it 'defies rationality'. So much so that you want to make a fool of anyone who believes in any form of spirituality vulnerably outside of the accepted norm, which did you and yours so much knuckling down harm. Relax!

OK lets exclude religion from this altogether.
Basically i'm not asking for serious ideas. Just funny things that you think people would buy if you marketed it right.
For example could you create some kind of product to battle fan death? Maybe a fan meter wich beeps red when there is danger. this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.
Lets not get into a dicussion about Irish catholicism or I'll make you all watch Angela's Ashes 80 times. Nobody wants to do that. |

Note; JMO has deleted his posts because Mindmetoo isn't around to back him up at this moment. In the flush of victory over the forces of ignorant belief in the supernatural he can't follow thru and mock his way into asking for ways to make money at it, truly.
And he doesn't want to talk about religion which is accepted belief. He wants to heckle unaccepted belief, which is what religion was before it became religion. And it's understandable, in this day and age, that the transactions of souls would involve money, he and I understand that. He wants to know how he can make money from deluding people and obtaining their souls. Or their money. Or just obtaining their attention. He's implying that some higher force, like Irish Catholicism which is what he grew up under, is threatening us all. And so he must save us all from that ogre. And be an ogre in the process.
The irony is you're honest, JMO, and have some spiritual awareness, unlike Mindmetoo who just wants to cut the fat. He'll go off to his computer job with is salary and Star Wars toys on his desk and know his computer languages (and, supposedly, the salary at the end of that ultimate number, pi, is 'God'. And that's entirely up to him, and his computers). The irony is you're Irish, and vulnerable to any word containing 'God' in it, and the 'holy ghost'. Like if I said, 'have some chilli and the holy ghost' you'd take my head off, even if it was my homemade godless chilli.

By deleting your posts you're making me look like I'm talking to myself, without an opponent, aggressively. When in fact you've gone off to whatever comforting armpit atheists go to after they've harrassed believers 'for being stupid'. My advice to you is to attend to the half of you that rebels, yet is so ingrained in, worship. The alternative, derision, you've amply demonstrated, whch is why I fascetiously recommended you crucify yourself by the hour.

What? I took out religion because too many people would get pissed off by it and the thread wouldn't be fun. I personally believe religion is just as ridiculous as believing in fan death.

my parents, aunts and uncles are catholic. My friends, siblings, cousins are mostly agnostic, athiests or just lax catholics. even most catholics I know from home are pretty skeptical in nature. Indeed I have never really rebelled against catholicism, i just stopped when i realised i didn't believe.

I don't know where you got this.

This is becoming my new signature I think.

Obtaining people's souls! That sounds cool.

I deleted them because I wanted to get back to the point of the thread...
BTW what movie did you watch to get your impression of Ireland? |

No, you deleted the threads because you weren't keeping up with the blows, and it's a deul. And what's the point of your thread, anyway? Mockery? 'How can you make money from deluding people to believe in psuedoreligions'. Oh, that sounds dangerous, 'pseudoreligions'. I can hear the 'koolaid' references, the 'why can't Seoulunitarian get a date' references already. Those 'terrorist psuedoreligions'! Why did you delete the posts you made? To keep your background, Irish wannabe/don't wannabe Catholiscism out of it? Am I getting too close to the burr that grinds you? Heaven forbid you're human. This strong religious background keeps you in the fray, and I appreciate it!. As long as you don't continue to delete your threads to misrepresent the all important, to-the-jugular debate you seem to favour instead of weakness. Have you noticed me deleting threads? I ought to but I don't. Got any more tricks, cheating up your sleeve? Hey, you're just in it for the anti-Christa, right?

Yikes. I deleted them because I wanted to stay with the point of the thread.

Yes the point of the thread was mockery, just like every thread about fan death is mockery. Thats why my example was a fan death meter/alarm. It was meant to be a funny thread.

I've explained why I deleted the posts. This thread was not for a debate but for a funny ideas such as fan death alarm.
If you want to debate something we can. What would you like to debate, then define your position. |

Ok then, I'll think of some 'funny' topic to debate. What would you suggest, 'hello kitty', 'pokemon', 'Mickey Mouse'? It's obvious you don't give a flying chit about spirituality and are just acting out some kind of post-natal/adolescent upbringing steeped in cram-it-in-to-your-ears-bullpunkey Irish Catholiscism. And, if you want to post in your sig some quote that represents me as anti-Irish and therefore prejudiced realize you're grasping for straws. Since you deleted your posts at the beginning of this thread (which is cheating^^), and now you're whining about me being 'politically incorrect' (or correct(?)^^) by insinutating Irishmen are spiritually clogged and resentful (at the very least ^^). Ok, you're spiritually plogged which applies to alot of suffering people, any suggestions? I mean as an alternative to derisions. You can just disappear for six months to Thailand in a Buddhist monastery for less than 1,000 dollars U.S. THEN you can come back as a farking authority on what's giving you skid marks, how's that sound you hyprocritical, attention getting, aggressive clog?

Sounds peachy. Although I'd rather go to thailand and lie on a beach and drink. I'm not sure how im hyprocritical though.

i told you several times why I deleted those posts. Its in my sig because it is funny. Now what would you like to debate?
You like talking about Ireland so we could do a debate on the relative merits of the two time all ireland winning kerry and tyrone teams of recent years. I could argue about that for days. You take Kerry and I'll take tyrone. |
