BZ, Adrenaline, + DMT

It almost seems as if God and the Devil are fighting over Jacob throughout the movie. Tons of biblical references. Clearly, this was a bit more than your average "trip". BZ mixed with adrenaline and DMT...Jacob could have... In a way..entered a higher dimension with multiple timelines. His spirit is all over the place. Present, past, future, past, future, present. After a mental meditation back at his family's house, he comes to peace and eventually follows Gabe (Gabriel) up the bright stairway. He is content with that reality and believes it, essentially-dies with it.

Ok

"Ok"? Really? A person comes on here to potentially start a discussion/share his interpretation of the film, and you try to discredit his post with an 'ok'? It's one thing to be a troll and spew vitriolic nonsense, but to be so actively dismissive as to basically just shut off the conversation. The OP had thoughts that he clearly wanted to share, and your response is so lazy and irreverent that is actually more insulting and regressive than if you had called him an idiot or something. If you really didn't care for what the OP had to say, why did you even bother to respond? So congratulations Bear, you've not only added to a troll(s) reputation as being offensively ignorant, you've gone the extra mile by showing one can literally add nothing to a conversation and come across as unnecessarily abrasive and churlish.

Can I have a cuddle?

Ok.*

*but seriously, if someone is in agreement with OP then maybe they have no desire to have a discussion since there's not much more to say beyond simply... "Ok".

Ok?

In what universe is saying "OK" an attempt to discredit someone? You're reading an unbelievable amount of meaning into that response. Would you prefer he had said "I agree with you," or gone on for a full page with saying how he agreed? Looks to me like you came here spoiling for a fight.

No. You (and the other apologists) know what was being inferred. Don't play stupid.

No. What I know is what I said. Don't play mastermind.

Whom do you suppose I care enough about in a public forum like this to try to "fool"? Certainly not you.

You're right!! No one does that on the internet. Troll.

You're wrong. Lots of people do that on the internet. And there's the namecalling; right on cue and sadly predictable.

Troll. Troll. Troll. Troll. Sorry that the truth hurts. Troll.

You lie; if you were "sorry" you wouldn't do it.

You don't seem to realize your posts say more about you than about anyone else.

I'm sorry, do you actually think that I really was trying to offer an actual apology?

You don't seem to realize that your continued, desperate responses illustrate to everyone that what I said is true.

[–] gayspiritwarrior 9 years ago

Of course I didn't think you were really "sorry," any more than I believe it this time. Everything you post is meaningless, for effect and to garner attention. That's why this is my last post to you. Now be sure to write a real zinger in reply. Your audience expects nothing less.

I have not posted in a very long time but felt compelled to say you guys are the biggest losers ever based on this behavior. To touch on the topic, it was written out in a odd ramble and the posters feelings about the ok response do not discuss the thread starters topic either. On the idea researching BZ it clearly fits within the film, DMT however is a random suggestion especially having experience with it (DMT) and having been stupid enough tonhallucinate and be delirious on DPH. In conclusion my choice to take a ton of DPH is still not as moronic as the bickering in the thread.
