THE TRUTH WORKS
you know it

120372, aside from , as Sue says, breaking the rules on this site, I find YOUR posts offensive. Here we do not ask someone if they are 'on drugs'simply because they disagree with our opinions. I think that an apology should be made here. Your remarks are inappropriate. Incidently, Silver Moonsong is a longstanding and valued member of this site also. Referring to her as 'moon boy'is neither funny nor clever. Thankyou.

I get it now. 120372 must be Blaine himself, somehow magically posting from inside the box. How many of the current 10 posts are made inside this thread? I watched some of this stunt, and thought it was sheer madness. What was he trying to prove, other than the fact that man can live on water alone?
I like some of his tricks, and know how most are done. Any idiot can do the levitation one. Fact is, Blaine is yesterday's magic, today.

120372 I also find your posts Rude and Offensive! I hope you apologize to those you have offended.
If not then I predict a short future on here for you.
PF

I could isolate myself in an empty glass box for 44 days and not eat (doesn't seem like he has much choice but to go hungry). Fill that box with Oreos and ribeye steaks and refrain from eating 44 days and I will be impressed.

120372I - I can't see there was anything spiritual in what David Blaine did. It was just a very public way of showing that it's possible to spend 44 days without food.

Davis Blaine is not unique in going hungry. Many people throughout history have endured it, most have had it forced upon them though. I can't see why anyone would do it voluntarily. Great to have the choice.

A point aside from the topic: I don't think I've seen anyone misjudge the tone of the FunTrivia forums quite as badly as you seem to have done. Apologies would be in order.

Why does everyone think he went without food?

Why does anyone care?

hey sue
when i asked if you were on drugs.
(it was just my wit,sorry if you cant take a joke sue)

message to the house

It was said on the radio that people were shouting at blaine
"wog in a box"

That is what I find offensive peggy Sue
(mind you i live in the real world)


Message to The house

TO achieve power over temptation you HAVE to go to a spiritual level.
(fact)
To live on water for 44 days is just as hard as coming of crack cocaine.
(FACT)
Maybe the posters on this forum should help drug addicts if they know more than the experts.
(go and tell AA and NA how to do thier job oh wise people)

ALSO i am man who loves The Truth and i post on far right message boards and argue with nazis but nazis always ban me in the end.
(nazis do not believe in freedom of speech you see)

so ban me if you are a nazi message board
(threats do not scare a man like me)


yours sincerly

A master of right and wrong
( a man educating the lost kids)

your move poker players

As I said, we don't permit personal 'attacks' on people and suggesting that I am on drugs is personal. If you had done much reading on this site you will know that my son was admitted to a psychiatric hospital recently due to the taking of illegal substances so I don't find ANY reference to me taking drugs amusing. I would add for the record at at almost 56 years of age I can hand on heart say that I have never touched an illegal substance, nor will I. What others do it up to them, if they wish to ruin their lives so be it. I can take a joke, that is just not funny.

Don't call me Peggy Sue.

You are still not adhering to our request to use correct capitalisation.

We ask members to be courteous to each other at all times regardless of whether they agree with the opinions of others. Calling us a nazi board would be considered offensive. Why not try getting along with us, you might actually find us a great crowd of people.

Thank you.

hey sue
I am sorry to hear about one of your family having a drug problem.
My sister was in the same boat a few years ago
and she is ok now if that makes you feel any better sue.
There are some good people in NA and they will do thier best to help your son.



AS for you saying i am being abusive.
(do me a favour)
and as for you asking me to change my style of putting words together.
(i dont see your problem on that one sue)

Lets look at the Truth.
ON this thread i am the only poster to say David Blaines stunt above and below was spiritual.
Ok if other posters disagree but i live in the uk and when i saw some of the hate that was thrown at blaine.I felt ashamed to be british.
How can you defend people like that sue ?


btw
I have read some of the threads on this forum and freedom of speech is alive and well here.
(mind you a newbie gets some stick for having an opinion)

ban me i dont care
The net is a big place you know sue

your move sue

I ought not have to copy any of the guidelines into a thread but I will...

Quote:

---

To make life easier for our members and moderators we ask you to follow a few simple guidelines.

Please do not use all capital letters (uppercase) as this is considered to be shouting and is not polite.

Please do not use all lowercase letters, standard practices should be followed, capital letters at the beginning of sentences, for proper nouns and of course for the word I.

Do not use abbreviations such as u for you, 4 for for.

Apart from the appearance, firstly not all our members have English as their first language and it makes reading more difficult for them. Some of our members are older and neither understand nor appreciate the abbreviations. We also ask that members try to take care over spellings. Last but not least, moderators have to read every post in their forums, when posts are in nothing but upper/lowercase letters they are that much more difficult to read.

---

I really don't understand why you have a problem being pleasant, why the challenges to ban you? No one wants to ban anyone, we only ask a few simple things, that people be polite and considerate to others. If you had to read as many posts as the moderators you might also find it easier if people don't use lowercase all the time, your continued use of lowercase for my name appears to be a deliberate attempt to get my back up. As I have said, why not attempt to get along with us rather than be confrontational?

hey sue
I left school at a young age and ok i may not write as well as you .That does not mean i am below anyone on this forum.
The Truth is, i can not help the way i write but lets be honest substance is more important than grammer.
(can we hold a truce now sue)

hey sue
Blaine is on tv tonight check out this crazy magician called blaine
His heart is in the right place and he is cool in many ways.




your sincerly
A man with a twinkle in his eye.

you know it

I can't beleive that a showman's stunt has got you all so worked up. He walked away from the box as if he'd had a bad night on the tiles - He's obviously not "Starving", He's obviously not "Delirious" or "Hallucinating, and has been rushed away to his 5 star accomodation to check his e-mails for forthcoming engagements!
Come on guys and Gals - the real world is he's a magician and illusionist - prove he was there for the 44 days, show me the payslip for the stand-in(should that be sleep in - his face wasn't on show for the 44 days) - call me a cynic but the man who walked out hadn't been confined for 44 days living on just water!

I heard David Blaine has got chest pains after being in that box for 44 days only drinking water. I forgotten what other problem he has got now. I also heard that David Blaine would have been confused after he got out of the box. I don't know why it would confuse him for being in that box for 44 and ending up getting confused. I'm not sure why, though. Maybe you people might know or is it false?

Edit: Staying in a box for 44 only water? Nah, because:
1. Couldn't cope in a box for 44 days.
2. I would be very very very very bored in that box.
3. Not a sort of stunt I would do.

Fosse4
ok we disagree
You doubt that blaine has lived on water for 44 days.

Be honest now Foss4 IF Blaine has lived on water for 44 days do you think he did it by using spiritual means or for greed of money ?




Message to The House

Blaines magic scares people,i have never seen a magician have an impact on people quite like blaine.
People in the street run away in fear when they see Blaine work his magic.

Blaine is not just a magician.
He is a class 1A mind reader.
(it is possible to read a mind by looking at the eyes)


you know it

He did it for self-promotion, nothing spiritual about it
(FACT)

I haven't cared enough to give thought to this stunt until reading this thread in just the last two days. .
(FACT)

Fosse and Tiel bring up a great point..He is a magician- there is a good possibility he wasn't in that box for 44 days
(FACT)

Magicians are highly-skilled snake-oil salesmen by trade. Most do it for entertainment value, some apparently in an effort to win converts.

Blaine = goober

You know it

I can be very honest - David Blaine is a showman, every thing he does will have been rehearsed down to the last second and all eventualities will have been well thought out in the planning for the stunt. This was a 44 day show for him and has gained him a lot of publicity (Not all of it has been favourable in the UK and he might not be back!)
I'm sorry if I'm telling you that Father Christmas doesn't really exist or there is no Easter Bunny but David Blaine is only thinking of his next contract. If he wants to prove his ability to survive in total deprivation then let him go to one of the top universities and be placed in one of their total deprivation tanks - no sound, no light, no contact with the outside world and if he can last 44 days in there, under constant supervision, then I'll beleive it!

I do think he's a great performer of the "Occult" magic, I have no idea how he performs those "In the street tricks" and I don't really want to know, it's a good "Act" that entertains people (me included). Please let him go back to that sort of Magic Act and forego the stunts.

Fosse4
I know father christmas does not exist pal

But i asked you, IF Blaine HAS lived on water for 44 days do you think he did it by spiritual means or by greed of money ?
(do not duck the question fosse4)

The Greed of money or The glory Of God ?
(make your choice wise guy fosse4)

Die hard
I am a man who believes in the power of The Truth.
Most people who go with out food for 3 days would crack if you waved a cheese burger in front of them.
EVEN if they would make a million $ by not eating for 44 days.
(greed and Faith are 2 different things die hard)


btw
If you all disagree with me i do not care.
(fact)





yours sincerly
(a man who does not give a toss for the crowd)

you know it

Definitely for the money.

It really wouldn't be that difficult once you are over the first few days you will have gone past the stage of wanting to eat, the very thought of food would make you feel ill. What would be more difficult is the feeling of weakness and lightheadedness.

I will reserve judgement as to whether he actually went without food for 44 days, time will presumably tell. In my opinion it was still a stupid stunt serving no purpose and could have done untold harm to many gullible people.

That is my opinion and I am entitled to it, EVERYONE on this website is entitled to their opinions.

I didn't duck the question - he's a showman, he's in it for the money - there is no spiritual content whatsoever.
How he achieved the feat is totally planned and achievable by anyone (Otherwise he would not have done it!)

Sue.
WOW,
We have only just met and already it seems that we have crossed swords a few times.
Sue worst things happen at sea.
(i know you agree)




You sit on the fence tho sue.
I ask you this,

If someone who goes with out food for 44 days by CHOICE do you think they need the Glory of God Sue ?






Message To The House.

Choice is the key to the greatness of sacrifice.

You know it

Message To The house

Look if you disagree with me.
(Deleted)
LOOK i am on this forum to talk The Truth.
I will be back tomorrow to tell you about The Glory Of God if i do not not get banned.
(you know it)




ALSO
Sue dont be a wet fish and edit this post.

Good Night peggy Sue.


btw

David Blaine knows wisdom comes from God.


THATS THE TRUTH.

I don't see where anyone's God comes into this.

What is all this Message to the House stuff? I am not sure if anyone else understands what you are saying half the time, I am afraid that I don't.

As for crossing swords with me, I got the distinct impression that you were deliberately attempting to get up my nose.

Since you are so keen on the man I am surprised that you were not there to cheer him on when he came out of the box and into the NHS ambulance, I just hope that they send him the bill for the use of it and of the paramedics' time. Just think, they could have been attending an emergency call instead of pandering to him.
