The Venting Thread

[DJEtzel]

Oh for god sake, you CANNOT be serious. Those are two clips edited together, nothing like that ever aired.

This is the original clip about the Boston Marathon:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tGBdBs5LVaY

It does not involve a bomb whatsoever.

Wow, you're gulliable. Do some research. That's several episodes combined. The bombing is of bridges and the marathon is in a car. All be it all bad taste, it's not a prediction.

Seriously, I... lol

I'm so serious. I'm not gullible, I'm open-minded. It's too much of coincidence even though they were edited together from the same episode. They did air on tv, That is NOT from two separate episodes, just two different parts of the same episode. TWO explosions? Maybe one and I wouldn't piece it together. But, I don't believe this for a minute isn't foreshadowing. Laughing at me isn't really going to do a whole lot?

I think that all of the people who haven't questioned a thing are pretty gullible too, they're just the majority, and that wasn't my vent.

Apparently I'm scheduled for an education program this Saturday 7am to 7pm out of town, and also scheduled for customer service training the same day with the same job from 8am to 11am. Um, I really cannot be in two places at once :wall: I know it'll be fixed, but it's irritating when it's clearly posted on the schedule and the computer where I work and when I work. I really hope I stay assigned to the all-day education program because I've really, REALLY been looking forward to it.

But, I don't believe this for a minute isn't foreshadowing.

In my experience, although foreshadowing is common in literature, television, movies, and the like, it's not "used" in real life because real life is not written with the future in mind. It just...happens.

First the "We Saw Your Boobs" song, now this. Clearly Seth MacFarlane wants to be our overlord. Who knows what he is capable of.

Sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence. Especially when it is manufactured (edited) to look like more of a coincidence than it is.

My thought though is that it IS. Just as there were SOOOO many episodes that very closely resembled the 9/11 attacks on different television shows months and years prior.

Just as there's a bit in the batman film (where there was an attack) about Newtown, Connecticut.

There are just too many cases of such "coincidental" foreshadowing of events that DO happen, broadcasted by major media networks that are all being controlled by the same groups of people, that I don't believe it isn't done on purpose by our government. And quite frankly, that makes me so sick it isn't even funny.

I think our history was and our future is already written so much more than we can fathom. And I'm not sure why that thought makes me an idiot anymore than the thoughts anyone else has on the matter.

fyi; that episode was not written OR directed by Seth Macfarlane.

Best comment ever.

 

[JessLough]

Because it is absolutely foreshadowing, because people have never, ever copied movies before.

As someone who watches a lot of family guy..that is two different episodes sliced together/two every different parts.

The marathon had NOTHING to do with the bombings in the episode. peter drives his car through the marathon (hitting a bunch of runners but no explosions)

How could he be there, in his car, while also making the phone call in his supposed turban outfit?

The episode was OBVIOUSLY sliced and edited.

Basically Peter goes skydiving and has a neardeath experience.. decides to convert to islam. That's when he is making the supposed phone calls and you hear the two BOOM noises. Nothing to do with the marathon.

The whole episode for whoever would like to actually watch it instead of spewing whatever some ridiculous youtube conspiracy video tells them

I live here. There is still blood on the streets.
Enough.

I'm going to take this moment to say that you are one of my fav people on this board. That is all.

Heh heh ...

I love Seth, I find him refreshingly funny that he ain't afraid to make fun of anyone. America (& the world) NEEDS a guy like him to remind us to have a sense of humor & to not be so sensitive! He'll be makes fun of the south all the time & you don't see me boycotting him & wanting him gone.

I hate what we have become as a country so sensitive & afraid of offending people! It didn't even involve an explosion! What about all the jokes & skits he made about the war in Afghanistan (like the episode where Brian & stewie I list & get deployed. He has also made fun of 911 & even suicide bombers

Maybe because he's from Boston (I think??? Correct me if I am wrong)

I have said and aren't arguing that they are edited together..? But they are from the same episode nonetheless and I don't think it's a coincidence at all. I've seen the WHOLE episode. You aren't arguing the point I'm trying to make. And that's not what the video is trying to say or DOES say, either!

I don't think it matters that you live there, that doesn't mean you know who did it anymore than anyone else? I mean, first responders have been interviewed for all of our major attacks and report differently than what the news covers.

 

[JessLough]

She's not saying that she knows more than you. She's just too kind to say that it is absolutely disgusting and pathetic to go around posting videos trying to fear monger while its still so fresh/going on.

That's not a vent!


But aw shucks, thanks. *kicks rock*

Disgusting and pathetic to want to know who did it, and to be SAD and MAD that it happened this way? That makes no sense.

Do you KNOW what fear mongering is? Because you throw it around a lot.

Fear Mongering is the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end.

That's not what I'm doing at all. None of you are afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not trying to reach any goal or change your minds. I stated that I was disgusted and sick to my stomach because I *think* our government did this.

 

[Beanie]

Do you know a lot about how the human brain works? It's a very funny thing.
There is a website out there that asks people to record their memories of things. "Where were you when you heard JFK was shot?" "Where were you on 9/11?" Every year you are to go back and record your memories... and EVERY YEAR your memories are different. Even though people say "I remember EXACTLY where I was on 9/11," the experiment has shown that over time our memories change and no, no, we do not remember it "exactly."

Someone I know was just arrested for something and interrogated by the police for three hours. Do you know why she was interrogated for three hours? Because the police know that you are scared, intimidated, and will say things... and that over the course of just THREE hours your story will change and they will try to use that against you. Is it because you are lying? No. It's because that is how your brain works.

It is especially how your brain works when you are under duress.
A first responder to a horrific attack on civilians is under duress.

Also people's individual circumstances and past will colour their memories and perceptions. Two people can be standing right next to each other and witness the exact same thing, and yet their "experiences" will be unique.

The human brain is an amazing thing.

Fine. Even if it's not a coincidence and some sick asshole stole the "plot" from a cartoon, who the hell cares? How does it matter? How does it change anything? Other than giving you fear-mongering conspiracy theorists something to carry on about, it doesn't MATTER, because we can't shelter everyone from every television program, movie or book, or any other form of media that might give someone who is already that deeply disturbed a "plan."

The point is, nobody knows as of yet who is responsible. But the idea that some clue or mysterious coincidence is found in a family guys episode is ridiculous.

At it's worst, somebody copied what they think they saw on the episode. People mimic what they think they saw on movies and tv all the time, it does NOT mean that the episodes/movies themselves are some mysterious foreshadowing of what is to come. it's a COINCIDENCE.
and more importantly.. WHO CARES?! what does it solve, what does it prove?! nothing.

It's like when you get a car and all of a sudden, you see that kind of car everywhere, because you are LOOKING AND NOTICING what you didn't before.

If we dig around in the media from the last few months, we would find patterns of all kinds of things.

I saw an episode where someone got into a car accident and a week later, so did I.Does that mean the episode caused it or was foreshadowing to the event?
Of course not.

I was at the race, I was there. I'm not saying I know what happened or who did it (obviously) but I am saying, that this was a tragedy. And to start pointing fingers at family guy episodes and spinning conspiracies about islam or the government is not doing ANYONE ANY GOOD.
The downward spiral of people pointing fingers and finding blame is toxic.
It doesn't need any help.

I just wish people would let the police and bomb squads do their jobs and focus on helping eachother rather than pointing fingers and trying to find some conspiracy in it all.

and it is fear mongering. I was scared, I am scared, people are very scared. This happened on a street I walk down everyday, it happened 30 feet from where I was standing in a safe city during a public event.

 

[JessLough]

Yes, it is absolutely disgusting and pathetic to be posting videos and being absolutely apathetic towards people that are currently living this tragedy. I mean, look at how you treated Fran if you think you aren't. SHE's living this in her own town. On her own goddamn street.

Of course, the government made that Family Guy episode. Of course.


No, you're not afraid of the government at all. :rofl1:

 

[DenoLo]

None of you are afraid. I'm not afraid.

That's nice, I for one AM afraid. My home has never in my life felt unsafe until yesterday. Give the conspiracies a rest while we piece our community back together.

You should tell all your friends that the police have no right to badger & intimidate anyone just because they are "scared" I would tell them to excersise their fifth amendment & excersise their right to an attorney, it says that you HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!!

As soon as you say "I'm not saying anything without a lawyer present, I wish not to answer anymore questions & I am invoking my right to be silent" they cannot ask you anymore questions til your attorney arrives.
