true but i would like to add that one of the things I hate about conspiracy theorists is they don't even get their own theories right. the whole thing about the Jews owning the world was started because of the book "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" which clearly states that its not "all" Jews but a secret society of mostly Jews, hence not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews. which is still fucked up because "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" has long since been proven a forgery but it just peeves me to no end when they use the term Jew instead of Zionist! and now I'm all red in the face.... RAWWWWWW.SonicKoala said:Really? That's not that crazy? Granted, it doesn't rival the sheer stupidity of things like the hollowed earth theory, but what I find alarming is that the conspiracy theory I stated is one of the most prominently accepted conspiracies amongst conspiracy theorists, despite the fact that it defies all logic and is simply fuelled by the long history of anti-semitism that has plagued western society for hundreds of years. The explanation for the Jews wanting a one-world government is so they would be in control of ALL the world's money, as opposed to just the US's - it is literally one enormous joke based off the stereotypical assumption that Jews are greedy, money-hungry and immoral, and will stop at nothing until all the precious money belongs to them. In other words, it's fucking retarded. That being said, it's one of my favourite theories (it was the one part of "Zeitgeist" that I laughed out loud at), and although the whole "greedy Jew" thing is overdone, it always gives me a good laugh.captainwillies said:really? thats not that crazy. people believe in that because really there is no way to check up on that kinda stuff. surely the "Cubed sun" and "hollow earth" theorists are much crazier?SonicKoala said:That the evil Jew bankers who run the Federal Reserve are trying to create a one-world government because this will make them even wealthier.

No way!cartzo said:countries are a little bit closer to each other than they tell you, they're all in on it airline pilots, map makers, when you go up in a plane they fly you around in a circle for an hour or two to make you think you've flown further. you could walk to germany in 12 hours.
There was a study done when a plane crash happened in (I want to say Sweden?) but, because of the remote location and complete randomness of the event, noone was on hand to record it. It was still a huge event and got loads of media coverage. A month later, a group of scientists asked a group of people what they remembered of the footage of the plane crashing, and a large percentage of the people started talking about their memories of seeing the plane crash and hundreds of people dying, even though there was no filmed documentation at all. As with the teenager's brain patterns, I'll see if I can dig up some sources, but I'm 90% sure that's accurate (tomorrow, I'm off to bed)cuddly_tomato said:While I wouldn't believe anything from Mythbusters, anyone who thinks the moon landing was faked needs some rubber wallpaper. My dad watched it live on the telly. Same with 9/11. I watched those aeroplanes fly into the towers, live on TV. That was probably the most well documented and widely recorded and witnessed event in the history of the world. And people are still calling it a conspiracy. Some people are just really thick.VanityGirl said:*sigh*Zeithri said:snip
Actually, both have been debunked. The moon landing was done on national television. The mystbusters proved it couldn't have been hoaxed. If you don't believe it, go look at the Mythbusters videos on youtube. (I would pull them up, but my college's internet is crap and it would take too long.)

And as for the 9/11 conspiracy.. it's exactly that, a conspiracy.

Because they don't contain an easily vilified dictator, and are pretty much controlled by the US anyway. Can you think of a better reason to invade Iraq?ottenni said:Hmmmm either that Elvis is alive or the the US invaded Iraq for oil (if they did why didn't they just save themselves the trouble and invade Qatar, Kuwait and Brunei instead?).

Yeah but there's balloons and rainbows nowGeorge Palmer said:Lucky Charms Cereal
See the part of Lucky Charms that is the good for you part that provide nutrients and minerals are shaped like crosses and ichthys. These are symbols of christianity. The sugary, sweet, tastey part of the cereal are shaped like pentagrams, moons, clovers etc...all traditional pagan symbols. So what they are trying to say is that christianity, while boring and tasteless, will provide you with sustenance and keep you regular, and paganism, while fun, sweet, exciting and colorful, will rot your teeth and make you fat.

As it happens i do have a better reason why the US would want to invade Iraq. To quote George Bush "This is a massive and difficult undertaking, it is worth our effort, it is worth our sacrifice, because we know the stakes. The failure of Iraqi democracy would embolden terrorists around the world, increasing dangers to to the American people, and extinguish the hopes of millions in the region. Iraqi democracy will succeed, and that success will send forth the news from, Damascus to Tehran, that freedom can be the future of every nation. The establishment of a free Iraq at the heart of the Middle East will be a watershed event in the global democratic revolution". Basically he thought that if he could bring democracy and freedom to Iraq then the whole region would follow and the terrorists would be defeated. Also after the war Iraq was producing less oil than before. And the whole dictator thing doesn't work either because the US invaded Iraq without UN support so they probably would have done it to some other little country anyway.blindthrall said:Because they don't contain an easily vilified dictator, and are pretty much controlled by the US anyway.

How about the conspiracy theory that Hussein was part of al-Quaeda?
It's more than opinion and belief seeing as there is concrete evidence behind the arguments against the so-called "hoax". Also, there wasn't really much question of loosing the Space Race, whilst the Soviets got a headstart in the beginning, but by the time the Americans where working on the Saturn V, the Soviets moon program was a mess.Zeithri said:Yes it does.
They didn't land.
You believe they did land.
Therefore, it's my opinion and belief vs your opinion and belief.
There were too much money involved for them to loose the space race.
No problem. What class is it?ottenni said:/snip
