On the Banksy art scam. It wasn't that folks didn't know they weren't Banksy based, they actually thought they were copies/reproductions of Banksy art (not worth as much) and they turned out to be expensive originals!

HTH

Oh Banksy...

I voted no on shape shifting, but Odo can do it on Star Trek's Deep Space Nine.

My favorite Harry Potter character can do that. Legit.

The 40 to 50 minute mark of today's show made me fall in love with Chemda all over again. So well handled and talked through. And when she jumped in with "Coincidence!", I swooned. Almost finished another great ep (yesterdays was good times too) but the last 10 minutes is getting a bit kooky mcgoos.

Thanks for wording the poll this way instead of including the word "believe" somehow. I was sort of getting frustrated with Chemda's saying she didn't believe in these things. Saying "I don't believe in..." always feels like giving the other side too much credit. Like maybe ghosts exist, maybe shape shifting exists, but I don't believe it. No. These things are made up. So thanks for giving me that uncompromised option.

The government shutdown is preventing anyone from making a statement, but most speculate that the food stamp idiots will probably have their future benefits garnished. They'll be quite upset when they can't feed their kids next month because they ate steak this month. They still had to swipe their cards, the part that told them their balance was broken, the records exist.

Abu Graib isn't so bad because terrorists got stacked into Pyramids like they probably deserved. It's bad because we're the best country in the world, a beacon of freedom to the oppressed. Hard to make that argument with a straight face when pictures of people with American flags on their shoulders are circulating showing them walking unknown naked dudes like a dog.

Saying you don't believe something is the same as saying it's not real, just less dismissive to other people. It doesn't make for a good discussion to say "That's not real," in response to things that other people genuinely believe in.

I really believe in aliens and alien abductions. I know they are real. I also know that some people (however misguided) don't believe in them. So in a discussion with a non-believer, I wouldn't say "I'm right and you're wrong," even if that's how I felt, because you make fewer friends that way.

I find that most people who say they have an open mind to the paranormal are actually looking for the paranormal. A pretty big difference. If you have an open mind you would look at all the possibilities. If you look for the paranormal all of a sudden you will see it everywhere. You could be thinking of a girl you knew and letting your mind wander you might look at your girlfriend and for a split second think shes someone else. But if your wanting a mystical explanation you will think, "she shape shifted" rather than, "I had a vivid day dream."
