Andy Kaufman: Dead or Alive Page 4

Actually there are scientific theories that disputes that - determinism - that given all the information all future actions can be predicted.

This, once again, comes down to a matter of belief, whether things happen just because they happen, or because there is an underlying cause.

There are theories that can disprove this and prove that, they are theories, if you look at what we actually know about anything it would add up to Jack shit. Just use common sense, eat well, take care of the ones you love and leave others to f**k up the world, that is my motto. Don't look for problems where there aren't any, just concentrate on the real world, there are enough problems there to keep everyone busy.

Wouldn't it be frustrating if he faked his own death, but unfortunately died for real a short time later without anyone knowing?

Seems to be quite a lot of po-faced responses to this. I quite enjoy the odd conspiracy theory. Take them with a pinch of salt and they can be fun.

99% may be total and utter crap (the Jimmy Savile HIGNFY transcript), but others that are even more unbelievable turn out to be true (Jimmy Savile abuses young girls for 5 decades under the noses of the press, school officials, prison officials, the police and senior figures in the BBC).

And the internet's not just for porn you know.

Don't you see? That's just what they want you to think!

One mans fun is another mans irritating waste of time

Frantically: I agree with you, but did you have to use the phrase "...abuses young girls under the noses of..."? That's another unwelcome mental image I have to try and erase from my brain.

That wasn't a conspiracy theory, that was a conspiracy fact. Seeing as how the revelations came as such a shock to everyone, it was extremely well covered up. Ergo, if there are real conspiracies a-going on out there, then you won't know what they are, therefore all conspiracy theories are false.

Does that make sense? Even I'm not sure. (cue X Files music)

The Truth Is Now Then, Now Then.

Ah screw it, believe what you want to believe, life is more fun that way. My conspiracy theory: all women are lesbians, I know this from when I try to chat them up in the pub and they turn me down. Bloody dykes are everywhere!

Soz Evan :)

I hate these idiotic conspiracies they're all about fetishising helplessness and ignorance.

And Andy has friends and families who are still alive, how offensive is this crap to them?

I have heard that Wee Georgie Wood is alive and well and working in a poundland in Croydon.
