Waterbending is real. This is no joke.

You can put all of your posts into one post. You can quote more than one thing at a time, you know. You don't need a page of posts to make your point.

Yeah... well, when I was posting the first post, I had another idea of posting something else, so I posted another post. But when I posted a second one, I had another idea of posting something more. So I posted a third one...

Hmm... I could have edited my post, but... you got me there.

Holy. ****ing. ****.

 

[Mino]

Sorry guys, but I just sounded like an idiot. Sorry, but you have to keep an open mind about things. It's not THAT unbelievable. Believe it, do not believe it, I don't care. I just opened a thread and wanted to see who supports the idea or not. That's basically it...

There's a difference between "keeping an open mind" and "believing in something without evidence and disregarding all evidence to the contrary". Seriously. And yes, it is that unbelievable.

 

[Mino]

YES. Finally, someone got it. And some actually DID IT. And why would multiple people lie with the SAME LIE about Xi Main? She did it. That's it.

Really? Who did this? Some guy on YouTube? Excuse me if I find that source to be less than reputable. Or did you mean that woman in China or where ever? The one that is dead and gone? How is that positive evidence? All you have is a story about a woman that supposedly could do this. Yet it is never explained how she did it, nor is there any evidence to show she did.

 

[AVGanondorf]

Wow... how about people believing in God? There's no evidence there, but people believe in Him anyway... and there will be evidence to this concept sooner or later, I doubt there won't be any. But, okay, it's your opinion, and I'm not arguing with you. If it's that unbelievable to you, then..... don't believe it! :/ It's not like I'm forcing you to believe it. I'm just giving facts. But I think it's true.

 

[Mino]

Uhh... because static electricity bends water. Comb your hair hundred times and move the comb to a faucet. There's your science. I'm starting to think that people here confuse the term "Waterbending". I think they just imagine some cool waterbending moves like in Avatar. That's not at all what I'm saying here. I'm saying moving water a couple of inches or something... bending static electricity, I don't know... I just brought the idea up.

The ****? If that is all you're talking about, then why all the bull**** YouTube videos and Avatar nonsense? All that is is positively charged atoms being attracted to negatively charged atoms. It doesn't take some random woman in China to do that.

 

[Mino]

That's what I'm saying, it's not that unbelievable or mystical. I don't know how to build static electricity by force of will, but somehow she did it, so there must be an explanation.

Here's the explanation: she didn't. She probably never existed. Where did you even hear about this woman anyways?

THAT IS MY POINT! But I gave an example about Xi Main, because she was the first person to do it AT WILL, and perform by lifting a thin stream of water 3 centimeters high.

But I think it's true.

Plenty of people believe they have good reasons for believing in God. I think they're delusional, but they don't. It's no different than this Chinese woman you keep bringing up, really. And it's interesting that you say there will be evidence for conscious manipulation of static electricity (sooner or later, just not yet!) in one breath and then go on to say that you are just stating facts. The only fact I've seen you state is that someone saw a woman in China manipulate water, and fortunately for those making these fantastic claims, she's dead. All you are going off of is hearsay and a strange desire to be an Avatar or whatever.

 

[Mino]

Where is the evidence of this? People lie all the damn time. They distort the truth all the time. Plus, you don't even know for certain that she didn't just roll around in a bunch of laundry right before lifting this water. This is doubly unbelievable given it is supposed to come from some remote part of the world. It's always the remote parts where ignorance abounds and "magic" and other nonsense appears.

 

[Mino]

And what is this obsession with the word "Fail"? No one failed here, we are just arguing like immature children. (Excluding me, of course)

That was... pretty ironic.

 

[Mino]

...so? I proved my point unlike anybody else here. And you don't have to verify that I posted three times, I can count... and read, if you're asking me this, too. Unlike anybody else here. And, who somehow got the idea of mind controlling that has never been a part of this thread.

This sounds suspiciously like, "Blah blah blah, I can't hear you, everyone else is wrong and stupid." Seriously.

First of all, there is no Avatar. And I gave a fact about manipulating water. It's static electricity, and that is it. What I don't understand is, people not believing it. I think what they don't believe is, doing it at will. But, I already said this, I don't know, too! I just said if that could be invented or something, that would be great, because you can do it at will by yourself.

And Xi Main being dead doesn't mean she didn't do it... what a stupid statement is that!?

 

[AVGanondorf]

This sounds suspiciously like, "Blah blah blah, I can't hear you, everyone else is wrong and stupid." Seriously.

But... they are. I never said you could control water with your mind. Hence, everyone is stupid by saying you could. Seriously... I'm tired of this thread. AND, by leaving, I wrote a poem for you.

if that's your way of reading what I said, then you shouldn't even post on this thread.

I'll ask Jeremy to close the thread, because I'm tired of it.

Well... okay. Don't believe it. No argument here.

If you know you're not going to type coherently at 3 a.m. in the morning, then why do it?

I couldn't sleep so I was trying to bore myself into slumber.

 

[Mino]

No, what you said was someone had consciously and purposefully manipulated water. Whatever "scientific" means you claim they use to do that is irrelevant, because those forces are not conscious. Also, at the beginning of this thread you were literally claiming that "waterbending is real" and that it was a power only few possessed. No mention of static electricity or combs, that came much later. In fact, I went and found the place you copied your original post from. An anonymous answerer on Answers.com is about as far from a reputable source as you can get. Note the lack of any referenced material. Note how this woman came from the "mountain springs" of China. No actual place or date is given.

What I don't understand is, people not believing it.

Because you have yet to give any real evidence, have constantly changed your claims, and have ceaselessly insulted everyone who gives evidence to the contrary. That's why.

I think what they don't believe is, doing it at will. But, I already said this, I don't know, too! I just said if that could be invented or something, that would be great, because you can do it at will by yourself.

No, you said it was a real phenomenon. And have consistently claimed that it has been done.

And Xi Main being dead doesn't mean she didn't do it... what a stupid statement is that!?

I was trying to point out the convenience of her being dead for the people making these claims. Clearly I was too subtle. If she's dead, then no one could try and find this woman and have her repeat her feat. Also, by not actually naming any place in China, that also shuts off any attempt to inquire about her. This has all the markers of a clearly made-up story. So, perhaps you should try a bit harder to understand what I'm saying before calling my words stupid.

Or, you could just admit you were wrong instead of being an absolute ass. Your call, though. I do always find it funny that people resort to baseless insults whenever their positions are threatened. The internet is the one place where you can save face without having to face people, why bother with this nonsense?

Quote #1) No mention of static electricity or combs, that came much later? How about my second or third post? And Answers.com gave the same answer that many other people did (not copying it). If there's no date, then that means it's fake?

Quote #2) I did not change my claims in any way shape or form. I said it's static electricity. And people possessed the power, meaning that they figured it out on their own how to do it. And if there's no real evidence, doesn't mean it's not true.

Quote #3) I said I know it's true, and I said I don't know how to do it at will, not that I don't know if it's real or not... it's real.

Quote #4) So if there's no location mentioned, CLEARLY it's a made-up story, am I right? No. And if you don't believe the story, fine.

But why the hell would some person lie about what I said!? What's the sense of that?
