Are there any conspiracy theories you believe in? I like the stories that conspiracy theories create, but some of them are just truly ridiculous, take a look at these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Moon_Landing_hoax_accusations- Some people think the Apollo moon landings were fake, what a load of rubbish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial- Here's a conspiracy theory that tries to justify the holocaust!

And there are plenty of others floating around the net. Can you find any that are actually believable?

I don't really believe in any of them... its just a lot of them sound not thought out at all and kind of pointless. Conspiracy theories are created by people who have nothing to do in their life except blame the government. Maybe there are a couple that are true or close to the truth but still thats only about 4% of all the conspiracies on the internet.

The only ones I've found that are more factual than the "government account" are 9/11 and JFK.

We're being lied to about 9/11 and JFK without a doubt.

The main reason I don't believe in conspiracies is that there is no solid proof of anything.

I belive in parts of a few of them, mostly concerning the corruptness of the US. I also believe that global warming is caused by the sun, and that is probably conciedered a conspiracy theory these days.

I believe everything the government tells me to believe. Life is great and the world is equitable and just. I am a reasonable and productive member of society. I won't question because questioning leads to disorder and insubordination. If you're not with us you're with them.

Yeah, you don't believe in them because you don't look into it enough. 9/11 and JFK were conspiracies!!

9/11 wasn't a conspiracy...people who post those videos on youtube are simply seeing what they want to see out of some grainy old news footage...people WANT the conspiracy to be true so in their heads they look for anything they can find.

The moon landing VIDEO was a hoax, not necessarily the actual landing itself.
There's also the entire... 911 was done by the government one...

o_O That one is ... eh. Weird.

*waits for some loonies to talk about how a plane didnt actually hit the pentagon*

To put it in the nicest was possible, CTs are the most uneducated people, right next to the scientology people.

What gets me is that most Theorists take a plausible idea like the government being behind 9/11 and make it so complicated and convoluted that it couldn't possibly have happened.

While that may be suspicious you can't seriously say that his death was a surprise.

True, it was hardly out of the blue, but still highly suspicious, particularly as he had an unsigned will cutting his wife out. If you were going to kill yourself, you would sign the will first, wouldn't you?

P.s. for the more high-brow conspiracy theorist there's that notion that Johannes Kepler killed Tycho Brahe.

No, I can't really find any that I believe in, but I am interested in a lot of them. I remember watching a special on the Discover Channel or something like that where they had the Moon landing conspiracy theory and it was interesting.

Dude the videos of planes aren't even real, they are made using some filter video editing software... pretty blatant when in 1 video the plane is black and goes into the building and there is a delay before the explosion, another video where the plane is white and the guy is very far away and the explosion can be heard the exact second the plane hits the tower yet if it was real and un altered there would be a sound delay due to the speed of sound. There's another video where the plane's nose actually 'pokes' out the other side of the tower un-damaged for a split second, obviously bad editing and that one was played on 2 different news channels and in 1 of them the screen fades to black the tiniest bit after it pokes out (trying to cover it) then when it is shown later on the other channel they pan the video up/down so that the banner along the bottom of the screen covers the whole plane both going in and out... also in the first video where it fades to black the sky is completely different to the second. There's many more on the account "ozzybinozwald2" on youtube, but for some reason the account is suspended :P

Well, most conspiracy theories do have fundamentals, although i must say some of them are just rubbish, and paranoid.

But try to understand this: 10 years ago, or something, you see report made by a group called "Project for the New American Century", where it says that it would take an event as damaging as Pearl Harbor for the country to get on its path. 5 years later, you see a supposed terrorist attack that was so perfectly executed, that the building they hit, crashed with almost demolition precision, also the building being the only of it's kind (that was made in some kind of steel i don't really remember) that was destroyed without material for such. Oh, and the building had special protection for airplane crashes.

I sure wont believe that.
