Does thinking for yourself automatically dub you as a conspiracist?

[faye]

I fail to see how letting your imagination run wild and believing in an elaborate stage of events with the most tenuous evidence would be thinking for yourself in fact that would be the opposite.

People who are saying conspiracy theorists "know the uncomfortable truth" that everyone else are "afraid" to admit are taking real liberties with the word Truth here. Truth are things which are correct and actuality; with scant evidence the "uncomfortable truths" become not truths at all, but at best runaway speculation without much merit behind it.

yeah, right. there are never governments or others who don't want the truth to be exposed about their devious and dodgy activities. everyone is up front and honest.
where did you say you got your education?

riight so because governments are up to devious activities; the truth is making up fantastic speculations of what those devious activities are without any actual evidence to support it right?

Says the pervert who advertises soft porn on this forum.

says the pervert who thinks forcing women into marriages and thus coerced into sex is not rape.

Its not just woman = honor of the man but also the other way around. For example woman have also taken revenge for their brother's or husbands murder by killing the murderer. When a male member of the family is to scared to fight for the family's honor, the women usually steps in and forces the man to do his job or she will and its always shameful in pashtun culture if the man does not do what the woman will like fight for the family honor or provide for the family.
I have seen many Kochi women carry guns with them at all times. They will not hesitate to shoot you if you cross them.

When a baby girls is born, it is considered not as joyous as a baby boy because they know the girl would one day leave them, the boy will always stay with the family. The girl is considered a temporary member of the family while the boy is considered a permanent member. During weddings the brides family including the bride is always seen crying.

What fabricated baloney ....Yasmeenah tell me you're not falling fir Khushal's made up garbage?

Ohh, RTR, I hope you aren't getting jealous

Seriously, please don't expect me unequivocal statemet that you or someone else are righ in this matter because I don't have such competencies.
What Khushal wrote is similar to what I read in a Pashto book (Khadim) and to what I heard from Pashtuns. I don't know if such wievs are biased or not.
One of my Pashtun friends from Afg sends his little daughter to a private school and help her doing homework etc. Another one let his daughter refuse marriage proposal. Wife of another one works in Kabul etc. All of them respects their wifes and daughters. One of them even seems to be under wife's thumb.
I also know from my Pashtun friends that lack of respect towards women, and generally low social position of women is a fact.

So if Khushal says that women are respected I, have no right to deny, because he is a Pashtun and I believe that such knowledge comes from his experience. Plus, my friends also confirm his words.
The same with you. If you say that situation of women is bad, I also know you say the truth.

well, you aren't one of those with an independent intelligence, since you are mentally colonised by over education. hence other peoples knowledge.

If there was no evidence for the conspiracy’s there wouldn’t be any conspiracy against the subject matter in the first place.

No.

exactly
Because a, you are a dumbass and b, doing so proves you an idiot. You don't have the courage to face either one of those realities.

[Manzareh]

Paranoia doesn’t come from thin air, there is reasons for paranoia when people are paranoid, unless they suffer from mental conditions ovcourse, but if you think everysingle person that speaks up against the government has a mental condition then i suggest when you put down those English literature books, please take the time to pick up a mental health one, it may save your life.

[DaZahroJaam.]

I am not going to remind you of the fact that I am currently enrolled as a student pursuing education in a medical field because that would be snobbish and you are pathetic enough as it is but one does not need to read medical books to understand what paranoia is. And I don't care for the legitimacy (I doubt that is any) of your thread, I am questioning the trash that you have been quoted on. If you weren't such a dumb ass, you wouldn't always assume things on people's behalf.
Good day

Untrue; because when something exists independently of peoples perception; it's not their knowledge, but simply knowledge itself. That's what critical thinking helps you attain. And you're bound by other people's knowledge yourself; you use a computer and other modern amenities, you speak a language which was taught and made up by others.

Conspiracy Theories aren't people following independent knowledge, it's just an excuse for people to justify made up delusions.

Khushal is deliberately lying ...seriously think about it, Pashtuns celebrate a son's birth and not a daughter's because the daughter is with them temporarily and son permanently? Why wouldn't they be more celebratory of a daughter then since her time with them is shorter and thus more precious and rare? And secondly; most Pashtun women are forced to marry their first cousins who live in the SAME Village as them. So how will they be temporary. Thirdly, the son will have his own family, his children and spouse will take away from devotion to his parents naturally.

SO many inconsistencies in Khushal's narrative; I'm not jealous, but I did not think you'd be so easily swayed by pretty words while ignoring whether or not it makes any sense.

Khushal is basically like the CENTCOM for Backwards cultural beliefs. JUst like CENTCOM inflates unrealistic portrayals of U.S. Military Expansionism , Khushal tries to create a picturesque scenario.

Furthermore notice Khushal never supports anything he claims he experiences with any INDEPENDENTLY corroborateable evidence? Usually that's when people are making stuff up.


I'm just saying don't stop your critical thinking just because it sounds good.

this statement doesn't make any sense
