"Who's going to decide who and when a person's going to die?"

You, asshole.

@gravyboatK Actaully, no; I spend my time going to work and in my free time I read the gov't own words on their mind control orograms as opposed to you who sits in ignorance and types comments making fun of those who do have a significant amount of time spent researching the crimes against humanity that are programs like MK Ultra. While you laugh, you don't really see that in their own words the modern day psychological field is almost entirely based off of the research they did.

I can't believe they destroyed precious rain forest to build their Nut Hut.

@StollandSon Do you sit under a bare lightbulb writing angry, paranoid letters to the government?

@Chacoco2221: God, what a deluded freak that guy was. 

[DLarson1083]

@StollandSon Yeah she is totally stupid, much like her husband.

everyone needs to look up Tim Carter interviews. he says it himself- this was NOT a mass suicide. it was a mass murder. people were FORCED to drink this poison; they had syringes that they would use to squirt poison into childrens' and seniors' mouths.

"If there was an event, and Jim Jones' people showed up..they'd do so within minutes and by the hundreds. They'd be enthusiastic. Despite outside forces not approving of their practices." We have this today, people. It's called the WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH....
