Is Obama a puppet?

A bit off topic from the rest of the conspirators here, but you should look into Bryce. I use it almost exclusively to create 3D art. It's extraordinarily intuitive (at least the Mac version is, can't speak for Windows), inexpensive (the full download version is about $100 US), and fun to use. I've been using it since version 3, and am able to supplement my income with some of the pieces I've created. My only beef is that its render engine is sloooow (especially pre-version 5) but if you have a fast computer it's not intolerable, especially if you have dual processors. Check it out at: DAZ 3D - Free 3D Software and 3D Model Providers

I have Blender, but haven't played with it much. For basic modeling I use one called Wings 3D, which is a good, and free, vertice modeler. I also use Poser a lot for figure modeling, but it's pricey. If you're a college student, you can get it at a good price, usually, through your student bookstore.

Thanks Tock. Might be useful if you wish to render a Virtual President. Although it would also need to come equipped with a realistic Believable Platitude Generator if if was going to be convincing.

Lets try with a Virtual President of United Nations. Can we Filosophers ?

YES WE CAN ! THX TO OBAMA

your logo looks kinda Maori. Its Nice (:

Its pretty slack just to dismiss everything as nonsence 'conspiracy'
When all throughout history conspiracy has been proven fact. but why now that we in the 21st centuary people dont have sinester hidden agenders?

All over the world our rights are being broken.

In new zealand for example there is 7 different agencies who can walk into your house with no reason at all and just have a wee noisy if they feel like it. One of which is somthign to do woth food i think?

And im pretty sure this goes against the human right which is you have the right to be left alone.

Im sure its far worse in America, but i cant really comment sence im not American and dont know too much about it, although i do know that in america if your "suspected" of being a illegal imagrent, they can arrest you hold you for as long as they want, not call anybody. No doubt this is due to "homeland Sercuraty" You know that little thing which means everybody in USA is pretty much powerless to what come of them, allowing for politacal opponents or anyone for that matter who challenges USA to just dissapear but ya know at least its legal...

Conspiracy or fact? law?

Its a fact that the government looks at your texts and listens to your phone calls.

In new zealand we had a station that was collecting everybodys texts, some kiwi actavists blew it up and got of with out charges because it was violating human rights. so is this conspiracy or fact?

If you have a choice of explanation of something happening because of a conspiracy, or because of a stuff up, the answer is nearly always a stuff up. Organising a conspiracy takes an awful lot of brains, planning and organization. Usually bad stuff happens because of the lack of all the above.

I have no doubt there are sinister forces trying to rig markets and rule the world. But they are out in the open. It is the banks, the arms trade, the lobbyists, the big business interests of various kinds. But you know what? I believe that with Obama, what you see is what you get. I don't think he is the puppet of sinister forces, a marionette who just mouths the words and does as he is told by some unseen master. I really don't believe that at all. Someone said he is 'waving a sword at a tidal wave'. That, I am prepared to believe. It is quite possible that the economy is already so broken that Obi Wan Kanobe couldn't save it. But all of the stuff about secret forces, and signs, and prophecies, is a waste of time. If the economy collapses in a couple of years, it is because we are using too much energy, borrowing too much money, and trying to live beyond our means.

Remember this saying: we have met the enemy. And he is us.

Yes, so do I. That is exactly what troubles me.

In the movies, small groups of people pull off complicated heists with barely a hitch, robbing the CIA headquarters or a Las Vegas casino. In reality, the people who spend years planning to bomb times square can't figure out how to make the bomb detonate and get caught a few days later.

Jeb and Jeep speak true: Conspiracies are real, they do happen, but never quite as neatly nor as profuse as popular lore suggests. With each new person, connection or element in any 'plan', one exponentially expands the likelihood that leaks and failures will plague large scale efforts into a flop.

I think the expansive popularity of conspiracy theories stem from individual skepticism and a need to place neat, Hollywood-ized boogiemen in the seat of responsibility for our ills; otherwise misfortunes feel random (we just love by-design ideals).

This, to the extent it's true, is probably something we're all guilty of (I'll rail on big corporations, the piggishly-rich or fundementalist vitriol any day of the week). We can't discount them categorically, but I think a healthy understanding of the Human Ability to Dork things Up is in order when looking at the likelihood of any conspiracy theory.

Thanks

I like the idea that all things are important, even the spaces in art that aren't being used goes back to philosophical point that "nothing is just as important as something"


@Ticktockman thanks, I bought bryce 3d about 10 years ago and played with it, I wonder if it is possible to upgrade it now. I doubt it since it looks like much has improved since then.
