I don't get why so many of you think a pedo ring is so far fetched and crazy

Some of you act like a pedo ring is the most crazy, far fetched concept ever known to man, and anyone who thinks it might be a possibility is a mentally ill tinfoiler who needs to be checked into a mental institution.

Why do you think its such a crazy concept?

I bet if someone told you in November 2010 that Penn State had a pedophilia problem that Joe Paterno was covering up you'd all say that is outrageous and preposterous also.

Evil exists out there, like it or not. Denying that pedo rings exist and putting fingers in your ears and your head in the sand does not make pedo rings not true.

Your whole argument sounds like the typical "well, he didn't really rape me, but my false accusation still raises awareness to the rape culture on campus" bullshite.

History shows that people in power/the uber wealthy have always been into weird sexual shite. I haven't looked into pizzagate all that much but I wouldn't be shocked if there's a pedo ring somewhere in the upper echelon of DC politics.

I'll believe it when anything other than loose circumstantial evidence is provided.

loose circumstantial evidence


hence the uncomfortableness surrounding this

it looks like something odd is going on, but there is no concrete evidence

so far, it is an interesting theory but that's all

It's not far fetched, but we're going to need this new thing called "evidence" - credible evidence that can be weighed and examined against countervailing evidence.

Otherwise it is baseless allegations/accusations (and I'm not saying those are always wrong - but as long as they remain baseless, it's going to be difficult to convince critical thinkers.)

Yep, I'm not discounting the theory at all because I think their are a lot of coincidences. But from my perspective, until you have something concrete, you don't have anything.

In all of those previous examples of pedo rings, people doubting them would be the logical thing to do until hard evidence was presented.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and what not.

Let's be frank on this one - centuries, most likely.

I don't know why so many of y'all are so sure that it did happen.

Pedo rings exist, but I am skeptical that they exist on some massive scale where everyone in Washington is going to "Eyes Wide Shut" parties, donning masks and sacrificing children.

Such ideas were very popular in the 80's during the "Satanic Panic" and almost every single case was shown to be total BS.

I think it's probably bullshite. But for the media to dismiss it offhand without investigating, while referring to unproven allegations as fake, is unsettling to me.

it is not far fetched, but some of us need more evidence than what you all have presented to jump on board

most of you want to believe it, so you are looking at the "evidence" through tainted lenses

It's not at all far fetched. We have a huge problem with human trafficking in the United States. Pedo rings are part of that problem.

Oh look, goldennugget is being intellectually dishonest.

The argument people actually make: "PizzaGate is stupid because the evidence is inferences piled on inferences piled on totally made up fabricated shite and promoted by people who think it's fun to spread false information."

The argument you project on others to make your claims less absurd: "Pizzagate is stupid because there is no way child sex rings happen"

Nobody says the latter.

You mean like victims of it speaking about the travesties over the last 3 decades? Did you just ignore them?

What do you mean no concrete evidence? Do you need to be there watching it?

Did you not look at how twitter was protecting the pedophile photographers and banning the people reporting the pedophiles? The photos alone were damning to all but the most naive. Let's not forget the suggestive photos and comments the owner of Comet would do and say either.

Fact of the matter is this has been going on for thousands of years. Nothing is new. People that don't think this happen are in straight denial.
