I never mentioned time travel and it has nothing to do with this scenario. So no, nothing to say about it.

If I was naive enough to think your statements had an inkling of sincerity, I would accuse you of the same confirmation bias you accuse the tin foil hatters of.

When confronted by a skeptic or dissident, questioning any official dogma, you search the internet for anything that validates your opinion. Lump as much in as you can to seem intelligent and hope that works.

But I'm not that naive.
I know it's just your job.

Say hello to your "mates" (i.e. the other agents in your department, who spend all day attacking thought criminals).

" It's the internet, so it's not like the crazy man can stab you if you enrage him. "

That's true for now. But what about the future....or the past or something.

For all I know I will have had been stabbed in the past and won't know about until the future or may have had been stabbed in the future and didn't know about until the past. Its a frightening thought.

To continue the fun....

Oh right, the Time Lords of CERN are altering the past without the use of time travel. Because they're wizards or something.

Anyway, my last point about time travel wasn't about THEM coming back; it was about YOU going forward so that you can prevent them doing whatever it is you imagine they'll be doing before they get the chance to do it, thus preventing them from ever meddling in the past (by whatever methods) in the first place - thereby preventing the problem from ever arising, and eliminating the necessity for you go to forwards. Which of course means that they're not prevented from meddling in the past (by whatever methods) in the first place. So you'll have to go forward to to sort it out; thereby preventing the problem from ever arising, and eliminating the necessity for you go to forwards.

... f#%k, sorry, got stuck in a time loop there. There's a trick to getting out of them; it's turtles all the way down so you just hitch a ride one of their backs. Shouldn't work but it does, infinite regresses are always a funny thing. Odder still, if you try to hitch a ride on one of Zeno's turtles, the magic doesn't work and you get shot with an arrow.

//When confronted by a skeptic or dissident, questioning any official dogma//

You haven't questioned any official dogma, mate. Even if we were to agree that quantum mechanics is dogmatic... at what point have you questioned it? You hid behind your misunderstanding of it for a while, and hoped that people would just take it on faith that you knew what you were talking about. And now that you've cottoned onto the fact that we're not all ignorant on the subject, you've decided to recast yourself as some sort of maverick who questions the 'official' version of QM.

Except to do that, you actually have to propose an alternate hypothesis. The difference between a crank a dissident is that a dissident has an alternate hypothesis which he is happy - nay, eager - to have roundly criticised. A rebel without a hypothesis is just a crank, I'm afraid.

Actually, that bit is true. You've rumbled me, I'm afraid. There really is a Government department who spend actual tax-payers money to employ a bunch of grumpy old nerds to go around 'extraordinarily renditioning' cranks, con-men, conspiracy theorists, shysters, charlatans and snake-oil salesmen for 're-education'. And we've had you under our eye for some time, my lad. Mind how you go...

No seriously, there really is a Government department like that. It's not just a pleasant fantasy that I imagine to make the world seem slightly brighter. Would I lie to you?

Blah blah blah blah blah

Enjoy the karma of all traitors.

Got this in an email today.

For those who don't know about Australian history, here is a condensed version:

HISTORY OF AUSTRALIA

Australians originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters and gatherers.
They lived on kangaroos on the plains during the summer and would then go to the coast and live on fish and mussels in the winter.

The two most important events in all Aussie history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.

These were the foundation of modern Aussie civilisation and together were the catalyst for the splitting of Australians into two distinct sub-groups:

1. Liberals, and
2. Labor.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture.

Neither the glass bottle nor aluminium can were invented so while our early Aussies were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night, while they were drinking beer.

This was the beginning of what is known as the Liberal movement

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting, learned to live off the Liberals by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing.
This was the beginning of the Labor movement
Some of these labor men eventually evolved into women. They became known as pooftas.

Some noteworthy Labor achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that the Liberals provided.

Modern Laborites and Union leaders drink imported beer and they like their beef well done.
Sushi, tofu and French food are standard Labor fare.

Another interesting, evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
