Not Another Conspiracy Theory. Please.

Some people think that – for often no reason – everything and every one is wrong and as they put it: "it's all a conspiracy". I mean, to some people everything is a conspiracy. My alarm never went off this morning – I was late for work. My friends alarm never went off... so it must be a conspiracy: the government is going to ruin the economy by making every one late for work. I welcome you to the mind of a conspiracy theorist. Now let me tell you about a few ridiculous conspiracies.
Holocaust deniers are in my opinion absolutely barking. Who with any form of rational thought can think for one minuet the Holocaust was all faked or false. I know the Nazis were good at propaganda but they were not good enough to fake the Holocaust. Think about it how can you fake millions of people disappearing, all the bodies and concentration camps. It is insane. But some even publish books on the subject are so – I go as far as to say – delusional think that the entire holocaust never happened. I recommend holocaust deniers go see a psychiatrist, they are mad. Anyway how dare they be so rude. People lost family in the holocaust try telling them it's a conspiracy, it is all wrong and they are the wrong ones – expect a slap if nothing else.
Well at least the previous actually conform to the laws of physics. People still believe the earth is flat. There is even the flat earth society (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society) who make try to make theories like the earth is accelerating upwards at 9.8 ms-1. However, the basic realty is that gravity does not pull things flat. Gravity pulls things into spheres. Anyway why are the other planets round when looked at through a telescope? Wait let me guess... the government puts cameras in all telescopes so it appears that way- or something equally ludicrous.
Now I hope I have convinced you that most of these conspiracies are mad. I advise you to be cautious when hearing about conspiracies and always research them. Most people I have shouted at for hours have only listened ignorantly to some conspiracy theorist and quoted them as solid fact and are totally oblivious to counter arguments.
The only argument for these conspiracies is that the Daily Mail reported on them - I know if I thought everything in the Daily Mail was true I would be on suicide watch.

More commentsConnor, good article. I am amazed at the number of people who just want to believe something so manipulate stats to create their desired result. Hmmmm...kinda sounds like our Congress lately!
Connor, I have a theory about the "conspiracy theorists." Their lives are so pitifully boring that even the movies cannot keep them entertained.By the way, that is some kind of exchange in the comments area!I quite agree. Thanks for the comment.
Connor,It does make you wonder. Apparently 12% of the population thinks Elvis is still alive. Go figure.Thanks for sharing,NancyWay to burst my bubble, Nancy :-)
Hi Connor, well said! It is sad how people reject so much evidence. Thanks for the thoughts! Blessings, Teresa
Connor, well done for getting people all discombooberated!What does "discombooberated" mean exactly?I think it's a typo for discombobulated, which means confused.I thought that too but then thought it sounds like a silly, humerous word.Hi Mr. Home, thanks for helping him out, but it is not a typo, I meant to say discombooberated.Kinda like when you call someone a "boob" for acting silly, well discombooberated is a slang term for describing a situation/people who are easily angered/frustrated and confused over something silly or not detrimental to the health and welfare of humanity.Like Paul being called an idiot with !!! after it because he said the world was flat.He was obviously joking in response to this article on conspiracy theory. But to some, I guess it wasn't so obvious.Honestly, I think it is a word my mom's family made up or heard somewhere along the line and it just stuck.Blessings to you! TeresaHi Connor - it is a silly word my mom always used when she saw people confused and bent out of shape (hot tempered) over ridiculous things - at the same time.It has stuck with me ever since I was a little girl so I use it when it fits :-)
I will tell you this! Ibet that they have never seen action in anyway shape or form anf to that end I say,"Wake up and smell the coffee' so to speak.I enjoyed the article!!
Connor,I was recently asked to look into the 9/11 conspiracy theory and it doesn't hold water. According to one source, the planes were U.S. military. What of all the commercial planes and all the passengers who died? Were they merely dumped into the ocean? But why? What's the point? I too will be writing on this shortly. Glad to see you weren't caught up in the sillyness.You are quite correct. In my opinion all that about 9/11 belongs in a joke book, not any serious publications.
Connor,This was a very interesting article! Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing this with us.
Ahh, but what about the conspiracies like the Tuskeegee Experiment that turn out to be true? Don't they aid in fueling the irrational belief in the hand in the shadows?Well, I see your point.What annoys men is people holding fundamental views with no evidence. I am not opposed to simply irrational thought - I am opposed to unsupported arguments.Thanks for the comment.
Interesting article!It amazes me what people will happily attribute to some shadowy global consipiracy despite the true explanation being well supported with evidence and usually quite obvious - the moon landings happened, evolution happened (and happens), the Holocaust happened, 9-11 was a terrorist attack and UFOs aren't alien craft.Oh yeah, and Elvis really is dead...sorry folks! :)I agree with you. Thanks for the comment.
