Conspiracy Theories

I'm one of those people that despises most conspiracy theories just because when you actually look into it, so many facts are excluded from these theories that it could never claim to be the whole picture. But then, if you tell someone who's into these theories that, they say "Well, that's because that's what the (government, man, coporations) want you to believe."

Yeah, alright.

Take the Kennedy assassination (in a simplistic way), if you look at the profile of Lee Harvey Oswald, he tried to make a political assassination before...he was crazy, he was a trained marine rifleman...it all works perfectly. I think when something is as simple as "A bad man killed this guy...the end." some people simply refuse to accept it and start filling in the blanks where there isn't anything there.

Not to say every conspiracy theory is wrong, but there are limits...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That would be AWESOME. Well, not entirely awesome, but it was a happy ending right? >_>

Changling robots...awesome.

The moon landing one is the other I've heard people rant the most about and another where people just haven't seemed to check their facts. Sigh...

I actually haven't heard the one about Obama not being a US citizen What's that all about?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just find the 9/11 conspiracies insulting really. Especially the ones that go so far as to say that the people who died in 9/11 aren't really dead but on some government farm somewhere or something equally retarded. Tell the families of the people who died that, they'll think it's a hoot.

I agree with whoever said that one can't necessarily deny that the 9/11 attacks gave the government a foothold in going to war while public opinion was on their side...but that's just history. Pearl Harbor gave the US a foothold to go to war against the axis but I've never heard anyone say that was an inside job...yet o_O

Seriousness aside though, what are the funniest conspiracy theories you've heard?

Best one for me...not really a conspiracy theory but funny none the less:
