Your favorite conspiracy theory

Thank you, DansonDelta, for your civil answer. I appreciate it.

oh oh oh What about the bilderberg group conspiracy? I like that one, Alex Jones actually did some shockingly good investigative journalism on the subject before he took the blue pill

I also mentioned chemtrails earlier. Anyone into chemtrails conspiracies? There was a time I looked up into the sky with a really bothered face, observing planes leaving their trails across the blue, convinced that they were trying to poison me.

The towers were damn heavy, once those mass is in movement, there is no stopping it.

Years ago, I worked with a guy who was into all sorts of conspiracy stuff and he tried convincing me that all contrails were the so-called “chemtrails.” I did a lot of research at the time and I’ll admit that I was a little leery every time I looked into the sky… especially seeing the dreaded “X” patterns.
Now I feel like an idiot for even entertaining the possibility of it being true… :fffuuu:

Since seeing this thread, I’ve looked into the whole moon-landing conspiracy as well. I really don’t give much credit to the image and video evidence (for OR against)… What sort of bugs me is the technology that was available at the time compared to now and the fact no one has returned to the moon since.
Some sources say that a modern digital watch has the computing power equivalent to what the Apollo missions had back then…
OK, fine - here, have MY watch and get going! I want to see someone go to the moon again! Oh, and while you’re there, draw a giant picture in the lunar dirt that we can see from earth so there’s no conspiracy theories this time :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe they don’t because Mars is probably more important than the Moon?

Mythbusters had an episode about Moon landing conspiracy theories. Every piece of “evidence” of a hoax was shot down in flames.

To me, any notion of a moon landing hoax is untenable. Might as well believe the Mars rovers are a hoax, or the Hubble telescope.

Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and was responsible for 9/11.

Immigrants are going to steal all of your yobs

gays are undermining the fabric of society

Black Mesa is secretly working on interdimensional portal technology

My favorite is the one where people claim that the US has been working with captured Nazi experimental aircraft and that these machines are responsible for a lot of ufo sightings several decades ago.

I’m pretty sure the urban rumor of U.S Gov hiring Nazi scientists is true
and it’s indirectly related to the rise of the hippie movement
about -53 times as cool as my movement

Urban rumour?

Let’s not mix up conspiracy theories with facts, here.

Here’s what George Carlin had to say about that:

Carlin about conspiracy theories

Carlin about America’s owners

Carlin about law customs and rights

I’ll be #3 to vote the JFK-assassination.
When you get two republican parents discussing the various inconsistencies of the Oswald/magic-bullet scenario, you know it’s definitely worth having conspiracy theories about.

International political tension, a change in national leadership, with a massively public event that never reached trial thanks to a terminal Mafioso… no other conspiracy theory comes close to being as reachable.

I don’t get it. If we did land on the moon, why are we not currently on it? And don’t tell me its a waste of money to go to the moon, believe me I think most of the space program is bull shit and a waste of money. Seriously we spend billions fixing this space station that is always broken so why not spend the money going to the moon (even though I think we shouldn’t do either).

It was very, very hot. Everything MELTED in the general vicinity of all that jet fuel burning and exploding.

EDIT: Scrawny… lol

You know what, clarify your argument and I’ll humor you.

Well what I was trying to say if we can spend billions on some junk in space why have they given up on the moon?

Just remember, with regards to the JFK conspiracies, The Comedian did it.

because its a giant rock in space and the cost of going back outweighs the total lack of benefit

EDIT: I say we terraform Mars. It’s the only way.
