    I speculate that the above text's author was inspired by making it in 3 different categories at http://www.crank.net/

    Before seeing that second posting, I already thought to myself "Who is this John Bryant? Obviously a crank."

    I think people who talk shit and are out of their depth are way more interesting that people who arnt.
    I do come across alot of people who are really uninformed alot of the time on any number of topics, but at least theyre giving me their opinion.
    The chances are that they'll mature, do some growing up, and get some proper knowledge under their belt and go on to invent some genuinely well-formed and interesting opinions!
    You cant buy that kind of creative thirst, any old fool can memorise facts and align themselves with the consensus, but thats not interesting and requires no personal creativity.
    Go cranks!

    I don't know.
    Do you believe perpetual motion is possible?
    Does tin foil block out radio waves?
    Is there some secret conspiracy group out to rip you off of your latest invention that butters toast?

    According to Crank.net, anyone that holds a view not officially supported by the Democrat or Republican Party is a crank. It's an effective method of keeping the masses under ideological control: "Either you agree with me, or you're insane."

    The Jewish Frankfurt School of Social Research originated in Germany but was shut down by Hitler. So they re-opened at either the University of California, Berkely, or Columbia university. They promoted the view that anyone that disagreed with their Marxist ideology was psychologically insane and required Jewish Freud's psychoanalysis in order to be cured:

    Hi Charles,
    I think the real problem begins when a person identifies to strongly with his/her beliefs. This makes it difficult to objectively appraise or accept the views of others, and forces one to hang on to his opinions, often to the point of violence or abuse.
