I till require proof.
You can require until your head fall off, it doesn't mean it will makes any more sense.
Also, as shocking as this seems, there's more to life, and the universe in general, than taxes, pig flu, mobile phones, Katie's devorce, and a six foot hole in the ground.
I agree with you, but I still don't see it as a reason to believe anything I lay my eyes upon. Being a skeptical and critical thinker is not a bad or a sad thing, you know. Kinda, the opposite.
Just cause us dumb Americans would shoot first and ask questions later, does not mean all people in the world are dumb hicks like us.
As commendable is self-deprecation is Americans, it's kind of wasted on Putin's government, really.
I always look for proof before believing in anything. The monuments on Mars, for example. There's soooo many mathematical properties, as well as hyperdiamensional geometries, that no way in hell can the stuff on Mars, my good friend the face included, can merely be just 'a pile or rocks', despite what Nasa says officially. That's just one example of many.
My problem with some skeptics is this, even if you put proof in front of them, the best that there can be, they'll still never believe it, I call them debunkers.
Debunker: OH, look...another, blurry, shaky video/picture.
They are given a much better image someone took of the same object...
Debunker: Oh, come on, that picture is too good a quality, so it's fake.
Some of them won't believe it, even if an alien had its ship over the person's house, knocked on the door, waves and said "Hi, how are you?" and beamed back on board the ship and took off again.
And the funny thing is, some of these debunkers I know personally believe in a god...which is even HARDER to proove than alien existence.
Know what I mean?
