I had to deal with a Truther today

Cute Irish woman still with her accent. She had came in to buy a laptop which was about $1,200 but afterward she started to get into 9/11 conspiracy theories, Loose Change, Alex Jones and the like. I humored her because she was also eyeing the $600 LCD Hi-def TV we had just got in. Long story short I humored her enough for her to buy the TV. After the sale thought I felt like Wow, never think I would actually meet a truther in real life.

Re: I had to deal with a Truther today

Ive met a few one once told me the trade buildings fell faster than freefall and thats what convinced them i pointed out you would have to have rockets pointing downwards at the top for this to happen but he ignored the point and went on to his next thing he had read of some website.

Alex jones makes me laugh he shouts outside meetings then complains they wont let him in.Im not sure if he is a true believer or just out to make money.

Re: I had to deal with a Truther today

I find that the best way to deal with them is to laugh at them and tell them that you don't converse or associate with insane people. It really pisses them off, and they'll start spouting all types of non sense at you. Just continue to chuckle at the, and move along.

Its actually more fun to just act like they are convincing you. It gives you a good laugh inside, and they go away feeling like they have done something good. Everybody wins.

I tend to try to one up them.

Truther: "I think it's clear that the official story on 9/11 is bogus"

Me: "I know, you'd think that after the moon landing coverup, people would be more skeptical"

Truther: "It's what happens when the fifth estate serves their masters by keeping the sheeple down."

Me: "DAMN YOU, ZOG! DAMN YOU TO HELL FOR TAKING MY WIFE TO AREA 51!"

She is in serious need of psychiatric help. Seriously. I feel kinda bad for her, as she clearly has some mental problems.
