Couldn't have said it better myself.

A thread for madisonman.

Why do conspiracy theorists (for lack of a less, dare I say, politically correct term)refuse to believe in common sense? Or is that in fact the issue in itself?

Even worse than that they ignore the laws of physics and the truck loads of physicists who back the official story all while claiming the physics don't add up. Now we've got the 9/11 conspiracy people shagging up with the zionist conspiracy people once again, how long till they blame the jews for 9/11 again? Oh well, I've got a life away from the computer to live..lol;^]

Yeah, me too. Its MLK day so the largest employer in the state, which is the state, is off so there will be no traffic jams. Woo hoo!

The Titanic? Another conspiracy nut video. OMG! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z80-Lf994mU

Pardon me, I meant to say "theorist".

I figure there are lots of conspiracies, otherwise why have a word(conspiracy)in the dictionary for something that does not exist? Even the dictionary must believe in conspiracies. It might be safer to believe that a conspiracy" NUT" is some one who does not believe in conspiracies.Hey, please don't get mad at me, I am having just as much fun out of this as you are(Smiles)You can believe what you want,I don't want to destroy you faith in what you want to believe, I just like to have people do a lot of thinking. Thinking will help solve a lot of problems that we have ahead of us shortly.We are going down the tubes fast, and there are causes for all of it ,and conspiracies are for real,lots of them ,everywhere you look now days. might be good to look it up in the dictionary , they really exist every where.

Conspiracy theorist want to believe that some idiot with 19 followers can't knock down two buildings. They also can't believe that a nobody like Oswald can kill a somebody like Kennedy . If these things are true then that means no one is safe. They would rather make up completely ridiculous explanations that have absolutely no merit rather then deal with the truth.

Yup. The truth is a lie as they see it in their own little perverted minds. Common sense is lacking in..... hey! That's it! Lack of common sense! LOL

I don't know what you guys are talking about.......I just had a great lunch of peanut butter and banana sandwiches with Elvis.

Suuuuuuurvveyyyyyyy says: (ok it was dictionary.com, but that way was more fun to say)

"Conspiracy:
1. the act of conspiring.
2. an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.
3. a combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose: He joined the conspiracy to overthrow the government.
4. Law. an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act.
5. any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result."

That doesn't have anything to do with "not existing" or "fake". 9/11 was a conspiracy, for the sole fact that 19 men conspired to fly a plane into the WTC. The issue isn't the word "conspiracy", it's the source of the conspiracy.

Taking away our Constitutional rights are crimes and we have criminals in Washington Conspiring regularly on violating our rights even openly and we just close our eyes and go back to sleep, when are we going to wake up and see that and do something about it?? Every time they make a so called LAW that violates the Constitution that so called law is not valid:(non law) Marbury vs. Madison, I think that is criminal (treason) and that they are conspiring to take our rights away!!!These are people in our political offices.Senators,Representatives, advisors, judges, etc. or any one who is an accomplice to these crimes. These I consider as conspiracies, or any one who favors a one world order govt , or any one who favors Israel above the welfare of our own citizens. They would be traitors to our Constitutional REPUBLIC: the united states IN America.

right on smo, if 911 happened the way the gov. says it did, then why would they not secure the borders from these foreign terrorists but instead pass the "patriot" act that affects we the peoples' rights negatively..oh and there were THREE buildings that fell in a demolition fashion on 911..

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I don't believe te lies that the government, corporations, and media try to feed us, I do see the truth.

google "the new world order" it's a world wide conspiracy to form a one world government. world domination has always been the goal of powerful groups, but where it has always been attempted by force, it has been advancing through stealth. The International Bankers started taking control of the nations' currencies around 1913 because they knew that whoever controls the money controls the laws, and whoever controls the laws can form "united nations" and the current "north american union" that are stepping stones toward a one world government. but don't take my word for it, read.

When something happens as tragic as 9/11 or the bombing of the Federal Building it creates questions such as "How could it of? Why wasn't anyone notified?" On top of the failed response of government officials (IE Katrina), which only fuels the questions moreso. Though it should be noted questions lead to answers and if some can't accept those answers then they will be left with questions, and we should just let the wander their head with those.

And that's truth NOT conspiracy theory.

The key is to try to
separate fact from fiction,
which is hard to do when
your government doesn't
even tell you half the
truth of what's going on.

I don't think 9/11 was
a government conspiracy
because not even the
Bushies could cover up
something of that magnitude.

I mean, come on!

The people who screwed
up the planning of the
Iraq War, the response
to Hurricane Katrina,
the Gonzales Justice Dept.
fiasco, Plamegate,
Tom Delay, Jack Abramhoff,
Mark Foley, the list of
failures of the Bush Jr.
Administration goes on,
and on, and on.

bush is just a puppet, we're talkin bout his bosses behind the international banking curtain
