not at all. every civilization from advanced to basic has some form of it.... how does that make it a scam?



B/c the people that are in charge of it are in power, and use the fear of the afterlife to get their followers to do stupid things like give them money for shits and giggles or die for them.

The human mind can't fathom how this universe was created, or why it even exists. We are also afraid of not existing anymore when we die, and would rather deeply believe in something illogical to ease our pain of knowing we won't exist when we die, so we create religions to give people reasons to die for us (as in a leaders getting his soldiers to die for him), or to give us the peace of mind that we will be reunited with loved ones in the after life.

Man made climate change. Biggest scam since the Catholic church sold penances to the wealthy... oh wait, those are the same thing.

Ive had my phone for 5 years now (iPhone 5). i didnt pay 800 for it but lets say i did. paying the 25 or 30 dollars a month wouldve been that times 60 months so close to 1800 dollars.


The phone payments only last two years.

So if you had paid $30 a month for two years, you would have saved $80 on your $800 phone.

Regardless of any hot button "climate change" key words, you have your fingers stuffed in your ears and your eyes blindfolded if you think that human industry is not having severe and dangerous consequences for our environment. Especially if you live in Louisiana. The evidence is literally in your backyard in several different ways.

Diets and weight loss products/programs are #1 by a long shot...

Don't put so much food in your mouth. It's really that simple.

The women who pimp the ItWorks female supplement products are the worst. Those ladies will spam your social media feeds continuously with that BS.

Well, ever since my time as a volunteer medical assistant in the Navy, I'm going to have to go with "BBC".
