“I and many other epilepsy sufferers of whoms seizures are triggered…” Reference please? Preferably peer reviewed, not just someone who thinks their disease is caused by X cause? There are many people convinced that problems they experience come from specific sources; you’re really, really reaching to turn that on Snopes. How about people who think their schizophrenia is called by chemtrails? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The neurotoxin accusations against aspartame are thin at best, so I’d like to see a reference.

“They ADMITTED it!” — Huh? I read every Snopes page even vaguely relating to aspartame, and I don’t remember anything about them admitting that they’re being paid to write nice things about the sweetener. Perhaps you could offer a link?

“The basic story is TRUE” — you have not established this; you have not argued for it; you have done nothing but state it. In vague terms. The basic story is NOT TRUE, as far as I’m concerned. Give me something to work with and I’ll consider, for one second that you’re not a lunatic.

Otherwise, you’re left in the same category as “Dr.” Leonard Coldwell, who’s flat-out nuts.

Having read Karl Marx, I am NOT a big fan of him, and far less a fan of the regimes that dotted the 20th century that trace their lineage to Marxism (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot). How could anybody have a damned thing positive to say about Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot? Yet Breivik, I assert, is placing Hitler in that context in order to downplay the number of deaths caused by Naziism and overstate the number of deaths caused by Islam, Stalinism, Maoism. This is a classic neo-Nazi talking point.

Furthermore, Breivik’s assignation of the Marxist label to “humanists” is utterly ludicrous. Trying to paint Marxism as a hate ideology because it is globalist and anti-National is utterly ignorant and offensive. Especially in the context of a commentary on a story about AN ANTI-MARXIST WHO SLAUGHTERED EIGHTY OF HIS OWN COUNTRYPEOPLE, it makes you come across as an apologist for Breivik and his murders.

If you did not intend this, my apologies, but you need to be far clearer in your comments. If you think there is ANYTHING of value that can be taken from the views or actions of a man who, in espousing pro-Germanicism, kills 80 of his fellow Norwegians because they disagree with him, then your views on Marxism or anything else must be, to me, entirely suspect. Breivik is crazy. He’s also an asshole. Those two are not of necessity intertwined, but in Breivik’s case they are. Defending his view is the action of a scoundrel.
