I've had a few discussions over B.Net, with some of the more intelligent people, atleast grammatically, who discuss some things the government may or may not be keeping secret. When they do believe in them, they seem firmly opposed that the government could possibly be up to anything good. I always found them kinda stupid myself (www.naziufos.com), same thing with secret societies having world domination plots. For those who do believe in them, why? Is the government a bunch of unbelievable evil geniouses? Do you actually think anyone is capable of this?

For those who don't, why not?

I never really found a reason to believe in one myself, but I've been interested in them for a long time, especially the dumber ones, and I was wondering what everyone else thought.

Which government are we talking about? It is certainly possibly corrupt dictators have conspiracies but unlikely a democracy has a conspiracy.
Are we only talking about democracies or are we talking about all forms of government?
Are we talking about all governments or a specific one?

I believe in one conspiracy. Echo is actually Korean.

Other than that, just about every major conspiracy out there is utterly retarded. What's even more amazing are the "arguments" and "facts" they bring up while backing their "truths."

Well, actually, it can be any conspiracy at all, there are plenty for every country. Even ones about taking over the world and such.

Watergate was a conspiracy in a democratic nation. I'm sure there are some conspiracies, things like the KKK or maybe religious cults obsessed with the Holy Grail or whatnot.
However, you need to take certain things into perspective. For example, U.S. declaring war on Iraq is not a conspiracy to bring about the apocalypse... *shrug*
If there were no such thing as a conspiracy, the word probably wouldn't exist. But honestly, how many people do you know that are seriously considering world domination or something silly like that?

No, the question is, I think, How many people are considering people considering people considering world domination? I doubt anyone is actually trying it, though certainly there are many people who think it'll happen (Centreri thinking the U.S would take over the world >.>)

I believe the conspiracy that Mini Moose 2707 is actually Real Human 12,914,741,225.

The extent of conspiracy theories that I believe in is that America in general wants to take over the world. Other then that, though.. The bushes hate the middle east?

I somewhat believe in conspiracies. Not much though. Bush is a NAZi

Uhhh... Why? Since when did anyone consider Bush a Nazi? You know that Nazi's aren't really right wing, right? The Nazi's were radicals in their day and age, almost all of their policies were considered radical, or revolutionary in some cases, Bush is neither. He's been playing it practically (And by that I mean excluding the Patriot act and such) by the book.

I remember believing that Loose Change thing for a brief moment.

Conspiracy theories would be more plausible if the people that made them weren't so retarded

Anyone seen that South Park episode about the 9/11 conspiracy? That was great xD

You happen to have the episode name, or a link?

I think conspiracies are created when someone has too much time in their hands, in which the outcome is always total bullshit, therefore a waste of time of their own and others.

Though you gotta admit, a lot of conspiracy theories while rather crazy oftentimes, do reveal a lot of things that don't add up. Whether they indicate a true conspiracy or just a strange coincidence, who knows.

Yeah, but you can never be completely sure what is and what's not, alot of it is just plain stupid.

I believe that alot of conspiracies like to target issues which very often get little attention or fall under ths shadows of bigger issues to the point where the common person later on would know very little about said target issue.

Like for instance the 9/11 one about the pentagon. When the terrorists attacked, everyone had their attention on the World Trade Centers. There was so much coverage on it as it was the deadliest part of 9/11. Yes the pentagon got coverage but not as much over it.

Several years later, conspiracists used this fact to bring up "questionable" issues dealing with the pentagon. The most common questions we hear are "Did a plane really hit the pentagon?" "Where did all the bits and pieces of the plane wreckage go?" The questions posed all came with pictures showing the wreckage of the pentagon. Sure it is hard to come up with answers to the questions using the pictures provided but the thing most people don't realize is that the pictures shown were taken SEVERAL DAYS after 9/11. I looked online and decided to search for pictures showing people the reconstruction of the pentagon occuring several days or weeks later. And guess what, they are exactly the same pictures.

When an airplane (or in this case we'll just say anything) crashes into a building, there's going to be smoke and fire everywhere. I'm sure nobody except the firefighters are allowed onto the site. Meaning we can't possibly get any "good" pictures of the pentagon immediately after the pentagon got hit. And it remained this way, because when something hits a building, you aren't just going to leave the pieces and rubble of the object there laying around to have their picture taken days later right? Most basic human instinct is for people to clean it up right away. Same with the building. Oh shit there's a hole in our pentagon. The hole doesn't look very good, I think we should patch it up right away. Nobody, especially the media, was allowed around the site to take pictures and such especially when removing/reconstructing the area.

So based on the pictures, did a plane really crash into our pentagon? This question becomes invalidated because all the pictures were taken several days after 9/11, reconstruction has already begun on the pentagon. And where did all the bits and pieces of the airplane go if such a thing ever hit our pentagon? Well, they've been cleaned up but the pictures can't show this because nobody was allowed to or was there to take pictures showing this process at that time. And what about those people who say "it sounded like a missile?" It's called a simile. It's a figure of speech, and it doesn't mean that an actual missile really hit our building.


Anyways that's just my thought about this particular issue.
