I said I don't know what CO stands for. Excuse me for not phrasing it in the form of a question, Alex. Your response rather than being polite was: "You are completely clueless. and Terrapin jumped in with his usual agreement.I am not going to bother to look up what we were discussing. My fixation on what is the example? You are talking in riddles. |

Brooklyn: Why on earth are you responding to these bozos? Their have nothing of value to say and by always answering their posts you are falling into their trap.

So you can go back to whatever conversations you want, whenever you want. YOU joined this conversation of your own volition. You seem like an intelligent guy.Really? REALLY? Is that you professional opinion? Can you name five things that BrooklynBus has spoken intelligently about? Because SheepsheadBites seemingly disagrees and they fired him. The TA seemingly disagrees as he didn't last long as the "head of Bus Planning" after such a supposedly promising start to his career. Surely he's never spoken intelligently about dirt roads, as he has been amazed to see so many of them out west. Surely he's never spoken intelligently about the installation of bus stop signs, as he was confused about who installs them. I can go on and on. I've read many of his posts. Have you? Can YOU say anything intelligent and accurate about BrooklynBus's posting history here? If not, then why are you acting all high and mighty like you know what's going on here? Because you clearly don't. Here's an idea - why don't you try reading this thread from the VERY BEGINNING and see what really happened? I mean, don't you find it at least a little bit odd that no respected long-time members of this forum are rushing to BrooklynBus's defense? That should tell you something. And before you get all indignant - you see that BrooklynBus's handle is a hyperlink? That's a link to his email address. If you wanted to give him some advice without starting a brouhaha here, you easily could have EMAILED HIM PRIVATELY. But instead you chose to publicly disparage other members here when they did absolutely nothing to you, nor to anyone else. Good job. |

Technically, that is no longer true as Larry, RedbirdR33 is a respected long-time member of this forum and he is now rushing to BrooklynBus’s defense. So you should say no OTHER.The explanation for that is that many people have decided to now avoid this thread because they’re afraid of the arguments.

I agree with you (and disagree with Terrapin, so this post is impossible according to BrooklynBus). He continues to be fixated on the minor side argument of probability (of age), and still doesn’t understand it, so that has wasted a lot of time. Now he claims that he asked what a CO was before yesterday, and this thread is way too long to go through the trouble of proving or disproving that claim. |

You don't know ESP is bullshit, you believe that it is. Nothing is supernatural in the true sense of the word, because whatever exists must be in accordance with the laws of nature, whatever they are. But those laws may not be quite what you (or I, or anyone) believe them to be. |

The laws are exactly what I believe them to be. The only thing that would change in my belief is that gaps in knowledge will be filled, so that the currently known laws of the universe will join additionally known laws and we will know more about the universe. ESP is not a part of it. If it were, there would have been conclusive experiments showing it to be real and repeatable.Also, there are laws of the universe that are known to many humans but not to me because I am not an expert in the field. I know enough though to know ESP is bullshit. |

I want to add that unlike ESP, claims that aliens exist are plausible. There could well be aliens that have visited Earth but are good at hiding from the public but not that good. The thing is that the claims of alien encounters and abductions are all bullshit.That being said, I’m not going to believe in the unlikely scenario of aliens visiting Earth until there is some convincing evidence of it. There isn’t. |

To rule out a priori the possibility that some of those yet-to-be-discovered laws will support currently unknown mechanisms by which psychic phenomena can function is the height of arrogance. So we will have to agree to disagree.Since this discussion really has nothing to do with rail transit, it really should be dropped from this forum. To create some kind of relevance, I will mention that one dream I had that came true involved seeing the roadways serving what turned out to be BWI Airport rail station in Maryland. |

If there were psychic phenomena, then one could say that there is some unknown mechanism by which they function. But every example of so-called psychic phenomena which has been scrutinized has been found to be bullshit, so why would there be some mechanism that supports something that doesn’t exist?I don’t agree. The discussion has veered to where it has and that is not adequate enough reason to drop it. I think by now everyone knows we’re no longer discussing any blackout and anyone who stumbles upon this board will quickly be so informed. |

Posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Dec 1 11:51:55 2015, in response to Re: Today is fifty years since the big northeast blackout, posted by Spider-Pig on Tue Dec 1 09:51:42 2015. I have heard about some pretty convincing testimonials about abductions that they target specific individuals and return to check on the same individuals once every ten years, much like the way we tag animals and follow them. So it isn't that far fetched.Since relatively few individuals have come forth with these stories, it's easy to dismiss them as being nuts. Some may even fear coming forward for fear of losing their well respected jobs. What if the same thing happens in the animal world? One tells another he is being tracked by humans and that animal communicates it to others and all dismiss the stories because the only believers are the few who ave actually seen the tags which are probably under like 1% of the animals and very rare. |

Yes, it was meant as an example of a psychic dream. I dreamed of riding in a car over a roundabout series of ramps and connecting roadways. A month or two later, I was in Maryland for a cousin's bar mitzvah, and a ride in my uncle's car at the train station matched that dream very closely. It was an interesting experience, in that what I felt in the car started as a sense of déjà vu, but then I remembered where I had "experienced" it before. |

I have had at least two dreams where the next day I was someplace I had never been before that matched the locale of the dream.Even more eerie was a dream I had that I was going to lunch with two friends from work whom I usually ate with. In my dream I was carrying a briefcase under my right arm and a map case under my left arm. The next day I found myself with those two friends standing in the same place I was in my dream, when something felt familiar and I remembered my dream. I realized I was carrying the same briefcase under my right arm but had nothing user my left arm. I breathed a sigh of relief that I was not carrying a map case under my left arm like in the dream. Then suddenly I hear one of them say "take this" and low and behold he sticks a map case under my left arm. At that point, I made them stop and insisted on telling them the rest of the dream which was eerily similar to what actually happened. it was a very strange uncomfortable feeling. |

No I would't say anything about mice.I would just say it would be logical for you to oppose giving an experimental drug to people based on your previous statement that anything that has not already been proven by science is "bullshit." Experimental drugs have not yet been proven safe or effective through science which is why they are labeled experimental and usually used only as a last resort which is what happened in my friend's case. He was very lucky. (One colud even make an argument that God had a hand in it and wanted to live. But as an atheist, I will not try to make that argument with you.) So it stands to reason that you would be against using an experimental drug not proven by science since you believe it would be "bullshit". If you really do beleve it should have been tried, you are not being consistent with your previous statement or your previous logic. |

That statement is totally ridiculous. The fact that people with certain mental health issues (being nuts) is greater than the population who claim to have been abducted isn't relevent to anything.My analogy between aliens tracking certain specific individuals and animals being tracked by humans is a very good analogy. That is not to say that all claims of abduction are legitimate. I am sure that there are some who believe they were abducted and are certifiably nuts. There is also the possibility that the process of being abducted made them nuts. From the stories I have heard, the process is not a pleasant one and they never would have given consent if they were asked. It is not like being in the company of friendly ET aliens and actually quite scary. As far as evidence, I read of these people going to doctors who have removed implants (to preevnt future abductions) and science could not explain what these implants were. Either the substance was unknown to man or no one could assess what the implant was. Would you actually expect these cases to be widely reported in mainstream news? No one wants to cause a panic or fear. The terrorists are enough right now for the public to deal with. |

Since you haven't cited any actual cases, I don't know who these supposed people actually are and I just assume that they must be crazy for believing in something so preposterous.2. You say it is. It's not. Like I said in my other post, humans actually exist. You're really digging the hole deeper now. Do you really believe that you will be respected by people if you admit to believing in alien abductions?

The problem is that transit views are sufficiently esoteric that people might believe some "crazy ideas" in that field. His post about aliens can be used as an all purpose way of discrediting his claims like the Ology of Terror on OTChat. |

Intelligent alien life almost certainly exists somewhere in our unfathomably vast universe. To think that our planet, out of the untold numbers of others that may support life, is the only one inhabited by sentient beings, is silly, because we cannot know this for a fact at our current stage of development.That said, however, we are unlikely to have been visited by such intelligent creatures, or, in fact, to meet any in our lifetimes, simply because of the astronomical distances between us and any planet harboring an alien civilization. Time and distance aee what makes alien abductions or visitation implausible, not merely declaring such entities don't exist. |
