    Conspiracy Theory:term used to discredit institutional analysis.

    ahh yes, since they don't care to look into it enough to discuss or debate these, they just try to make it like a joke or for 'crazy people'. Then they don't even state why they don't believe it. Crazy...What seems crazy to me is how they always buy into the official story no matter how ridiculous or improbable they may appear....when infact each version is just a theory with differents sets of facts and opinions leading in different directions. The official version just happens to always work out for the state whereas the other versions conflict with state interest. But let them go back to their little jokes, it seems to be all they have to discredit these theories anyway.

    Umm...I've seen dozen of conspiracy theories presented on this forum with some very good and thoughtful responses in rebuttal. You might want to read your own words above and ask yourself to whom it applies.

    You are correct, I have seen a few that bother to discuss and actually read into these things but I was meaning it more in the overall sense.

    Ok. Thanks for the clarification. It goes both ways.....the conclusion-then-fact model happens on both sides.

    Yes, it does but my point was about how people just poke fun at some of these theories instead of looking into them and pointing out why they disbelieve them. I don't think that goes both way quite as often.

    I certainly think conspiracy theorists are more often unfairly criticized as "crackpots" or "crazies", but they also more often suffer from a conclusion-first thought process.

    Well, I can only speak for myself but I come across these theories and then read into them. I don't automatically buy it nor do I want to...some of this shit can really be unnerving especially the more you dig into it.

    no to mention that all these conspiracies are probably all connected in someway.
    fascinating, yes. but the various angles involved are endless.

    maybe contemplating the conspiracies is even pointless: maybe i'm saying that because i don't know the circumference around each issue. its like a point in the middle of a circle. the point being the conspiracy. the circle being all the aspects involved.
    I need to finish writing.

    Since nobody else acknowledged it, allow me to give Skitch kudos for trying to pre-emtively turn his topic into a sticky...

    no he's sexing up the alien to produce offspring...he's already fucked everything else on this planet...so it seems logical.

    Bush Sr. should've pulled out.

    3) No...just brain dead response from a brain dead leader...
    4) Brain dead voters brought him back....
    5) See #1
    6) Never thought that...however brain dead leader made a horrible attempt to get the "real" culprit in 9/11....
    7) The leaders are members so technically they do...however how much the societies dictate polity ???
    8) No
    9) Never even heard this
    10) No there was other political motives as well....PNAC shows those quite well
    11) Definetly a contributing factor.....

    Beautiful post.
  • Haha

    16. H20 has always been a viable energy source but Big Oil was able to sweep that fact under the carpet.

    In a related theory...

    17. Bottled water manufacturers have been colluding with Big Oil to create a monopoly on energy sources.

    I swear to God I really heard the first one on this forum...
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
