Tom Cruise Goes All Xenu Upside Matt Lauer's Head

if i were an evil bastard in charge of a "religeon" like that i'd pay people to monitor forums and argue the **** out of anyone that disagrees with my religion :eek:

Hmmmm, wonder why there are no 2-day drug rehab clinics then.

because certain drugs leave you with dependencies and work in different ways, for example (totaly made up but just to give you an idea of how it works)

when you take drug A it pumps all of chemical B that makes you happy into your brain then after you take it you feel god awfully depressed for a week or two unless you take the drug again to blast your brain out again, but as you do it more and more the kick becomes less and less and the more you do it the less of chemical B you have left so it's harder to give up.

Yeah, you actually might want to dust of that old copy of Dianetics, and you might actually want to read it. Give you some information. And if you did read it and didn't get it, make sure to clear and misunderstood words you have in the book, because that is the result of your non-understanding.

ROFL
This is classic!
I love Hubbard: If the "tech" doesn't make sense, it's not because I am a crackpot, it is because you didn't understand me. Here, buy this other book that will explain the misunderstood words to you. Still don't understand? Read it again. And again. Don't ask anyone to help you, because they might not understand it either.
All this from a pulp fiction writer that started his own navy because the real Navy kept kicking him off boats.

I am Cruise of SCN. Lower your standards and power down you vocabulary. Your financial stability and emotional gullibility will be added to our own.
Resistence is futile. You will be assimilated.
 
Waste of time...

Hey, nothing against anybody here, but this thread is mainly a waste of time. Everyone has their own different opinions on drugs and stuff, but that doesnt mean any of use should convert anyone else's ideas to their own. I myself think drugs don't work, and that's the end. This could be debated for hours on end, but why waste time. It's fine to have a joke about the situation, but don't critisize or trash or undermine what you don't have a full understanding of. I have to say though, Tom schooled matt pretty well... :cool:
 
Two thoughts:

1) Is Nicole Kidman smart for cutting herself loose of this nutjob? Or is she a moron for staying with him for so long?

2) Does anyone else think it's incredibly appropriate for a modern religion to be founded by a science-fiction writer?

The differences might be huge, but they are not fundamental. Where the rubber meets the road, it's really no more crazy to believe in aliens and volcanoes than God and angels.

Uh, volcanoes are real. :p
 
I had a theory, and it was just confirmed.

SoccerBoy- You have one post, so let me get this strait, you JOINED the forum to say that this thread was pointless. Wow.

Italian Artist- You have 4 posts, all in this thread. Wow.

And lastly Restless~native- You have more than 1/2 of your posts in here, so I don't have a problem. Just mighty peculiar that so many n00bs took notice to this one particular thread.

That's why threads like this are usually tossed in the Political forum -- to keep n00bs from signing up just to cause problems.

I thought things were put there to keep people from reading it. :p
 
"Ridiculousness" fits here!

Actually, I happened to be doing a Google search without the intention of coming up on this. However, upon reading the idiocy and the unwarranted criticizing that was occuring, I decided to give you guys some competition. Also, since when does typing a couple of posts in the beginning qualify anyone as a noob?! I am not going to begin to insult anyone on the matter, because I know I wouldn't want someone to be insulting me. However, I know that the many lot of you are criticizing Tom on one interview. And what's more, I bet some of you are simply backing up others on here, without any actual experience or knowingness in the matter! Also, on the matter of Scientology, can anyone tell me what it is, 'cause I'm confused. I mean, what's Scientology about?

i think it's safe to summaries the first half of that post as "i am wrong but i dont want to admit it to myself so i'm going to hide behind blind faith"

:cool:

We call you a n00b because it says so on your profile. Don't get all "ridiculous" on us.

EDIT: Oh and there is a little thing called free speech, forums tend to talk about a lot of things. You telling us not to talk about something as an outsider to the forum is what I was talking about, surely you know what I mean. Instead of us arguing amongst ourselves, you come in and argue against us all.
