History hasn't proven anything right.

Someone posted an article the other day to the top ten conspiracy theories, and you can still poke holes through most of them, and some of them have never really been verified. One of them was the syphilis tests - it wasn't a government conspiracy, it was three low ranking doctors and a nurse. The Northwoods operation was't something that happened, it was a crazy idea from the CIA - and the CIA back in those days had a lot of freaking crazy ideas.

no it wasn't. Your inability to understand that goes some way to answering your own question.

I am satisfied that they still have "crazy" ideas as they and others agencies in government pay people to "brain storm" ideas.

a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful

Read that.. That's what "Conspiracy" means. A "Conspiracy Theorist (You)" thinks the government (the group) did something behind our backs (the secret plan) to do something unlawful or harmful (terrorist attacks).

Now.. Tell me. Where does "the Earth is round" fit into that?

They're not all crazy, some just have a low IQ.

[CDSmith]

Just the fact that you can throw an unlimited amount of actual facts at them but most of them are adamant and completely dismissive of every one of them, stubbornly clinging to their little theory, almost as if they *want* the conspiracy to be true.

That alone speaks to me that most of them are irrational if not flat-out "crazy."

I think if some of these conspiracy nutters would put all that energy in trying to make money, they would be very rich and probably end up being the ones doing the conspiring

I have noticed that a lot of people with money issues gravitate towards conspiracy theories. I've seen it right on this message board. A good chunk of people heavily into conspiracy theories also rant on about how they are not making money.

I'm not going to call them out, but if you look a little closer, you will see them bring it up.

[DWB]

Not going to say who, but the group who reads one of these books is the craziest group of humans who have ever existed on this planet. They make even the most bat shit crazy conspiracy theorist look sane.

Imagine if they channeled that energy into trying to make money from conspiracy theories. Love him or hate him, Alex Jones built a small empire on it. "Crazy" sells if you present it the right way.

If you are referring to the Bible...many millions of people have read that book and they do not believe much of anything...if anything...in the book. Even the majority of Christians do not believe everything written in that book. So...no...even though you may think it...the majority of people that have read that book are not crazy.

So which are you...crazy or ignorant?

[AsianDivaGirlsWebDude]

You really had to ask why conspiracy theorists such as yourself are consider crazy?

Sometimes you are too funny!

Let me try to illustrate using a Stupid Question, and then provide an Obvious Answer:

guys, it's not their fault, the ct guys have a problem...

[TheSquealer]

You're driving your car. Everyone keeps honking at you and flipping you off. You keep telling yourself you're a great driver. You keep telling yourself that "everyone else is the problem" because otherwise, you can't really reconcile the fact that you are getting this constant negative feedback throughout the day, which directly contradicts what you want to believe. In the meantime, everyone is still honking at you and flipping you off.

The question should be "at what point do i stop and actually take an honest look at how i'm driving, considering the fact that everyone is honking at me and flipping me off every time I drive?" - or do you choose to live the rest of your life in denial with everyone on the road honking at you and flipping you off? Of course you can surround yourself with similar asshole drivers who will also tell you the problem is "everyone else". But that will never help you live a more fulfilling and happier life... it just helps you to deny the problem.

You are joining the conspiracy crowd then?

Over half of the world's population say that the US government is lying, in 2008 only 46% believed the official story

This is not a sane and rational person. He is by my personal definition "crazy".

6,973,738,433 people in this world and only 15% of the people THINK it was the US government, although that's a lot of people, it's only an assumption.

Show cold hard facts or shut the fuck up about the shit every god damn day.

It's more important to see how many people think they're being lied to

That's assuming they polled everyone in the world. I can make graphs aswell, doesn't mean they are going to be backed by real figures.

But as you can see, nobody here gives a shit, so you're about as useful as pubic hair.

Why did you open this thread and reply if you don't give a shit? You do give a shit, you're being made to question certain things which you don't want to question, it makes you uncomfortable, that's why you want someone to take it out on, but that won't help you, the process has already begun, the conspiracy theorists here have set you on the course to start questioning the world around you, your old paradigm is on it's way out and you'll be a lot better off when it's completely gone.

Trainwreck syndrome.

I opened this thread because I knew 99% of the responses where gonna be smart level headed people responding to the lunacy of you people and quite frankly, I get a chuckle out of watching you guys scramble trying to back your own theories up with more theories while people refute you with cold hard facts.

15% of the population may believe the US government was behind the terrorist attacks but even thats beaten by a poll in 2010 that found 18% of Americans believe the earth is the center of the universe and the sun revolves around it! and even better 51% believe in creationism apparently! 1 in 3 believe in ghosts. I personally love how the people are waking up and questioning their authority figures

not a dig at america either, no shortage of stupid and uneducated people, no one country has a monopoly.

You, exactly like Johnyclips have to rely on broad, over generalized statements because specificity is the mortal enemy of the insane. "official story"? What does that mean? What is the "official story"? Is there some commonly accepted and shared understanding of all the 1000 facets of what happened? Has every person who took that poll read the reports? Did they all engage in some careful analysis of every aspect of the events and reports? Of course not. You cower behind vagueness and ambiguity because you know that you will ultimately need all the wiggle room available as others point out the obvious flaws in your perception, interpretation and understanding of events taking place in the world around you.

Let me help you.

NO ONE SHOULD BELIEVE EVERYTHING.
NO ONE AGREES THAT EVERYTHING THEY HEAR OR READ IS 100% TRUE.
EVERYONE understands these things...
... except conspiracy theorists.


To address my "beliefs"...

I am not interested in proving myself right or wrong. I do not care if I am right or wrong. I live my life, i'm happy, I share it with someone I love more than anything in the world and we do all we can to fill our time full of laughter and love. I have no need to spend my days, tirelessly toiling about, seeking out information, stats, data and arguments that validate and affirm my own paranoid delusions, as I suffer from neither.

You turn everything into a dark conspiracy by those in power against the common man.... because you need help. Because you have multiple mental disorders and this is how you are attempting to make sense of how you see the world. That's all anyone needs to know about you in terms of the state of your mental health. You spend your time looking for it and surprise surprise, you find it in everything. You spend your time trying to convince everyone else of the same. You are not "spreading the word for others benefit". You are the crazy cult follower trying to recruit because the only way your can reconcile the dark, paranoid and delusional world you've created for yourself with reality is in trying to seek out others that either share that dim view or by convincing others because a simple trick of the mind is that it tends to believe it's more correct when it finds evidence that others believe the same. The more people that it can convince itself believe the same, the more it can convince itself that its correct.

The problem with nutjobs like that is that a broken clock is right twice a day.

When you devote your life to attacking anyone and everyone, every single day, you're going to have 1000 misses and 10 hits. Then you just focus on the hits as if you're a genius and dismiss the misses and pretend they didn't happen or, if you find yourself in a bind, pose some retarded questions to basically excuse the misses by alluding to more conspiracy. His audience certainly can't easily compile a list of everything he's wrong about anymore than any other cult follower could compile a list of everything their guru is wrong about. That information isn't useful and is simply deleted from the followers mind.

When you have an audience that desperately wants to believe the message, its an easy con.

The guy in the video is not the guy who had both legs blown off. His name is Nicholas Vogt, and he has been a double-amputee for years. ( there are images of him from 2009 - missing both legs, at that time as a veteran of Afghanistan all over the net)

In your haste to try and make something stick, you continue to show how much of a lemming you are by posting youtube videos from other conspiracy wackjobs who distort, misinterpret and manipulate video to fit their agenda.
