Whats more interesting is looking into it deeper, that is understanding what conspiracy theories are, where they come from, place in societies etc.
Place to start, obv
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory
Then go deeper, check out the sources.
That's interesting. |

I got some suggestions as well, re-watch Inception at least once a week, preferably more. Get some old radio's, and a few of those old antenna's. |

Did you ever watch zeitgeist? it makes some pretty good points just because it has been stamped 'conspiracy' doesn't make it invalid. |

yea i watched zeithgeist. and the 2nd one too (much better)
there are reasons why conspiracies are what they are, and are "attractive" or "believable". if you actually want to learn more about it, i would suggest starting with the wiki link. The point is not that it's invalid, its quite irrelevant actually (like religion in a sense) but that it's NOT valid. it;s "unknown", has not bee validated, nor invalidated yet.
except if your a syzho, then everything is and has to be "validated" one way or another.

Also the bigger point is that people like OP spread the theories as being valid,and on an ethical point of view, OP makes it easy to validate certain complex events, when the reality it is not.
Consequences of that type of behaviour and thinking is for example the existence of religious institutions who strive in the world by pretending the concept of GOD is valid, when in reality it has not been validated yet.
Take Magic for example. If people were not aware of the concept of illusions (optical illusions and such) then we would all belive in Magic? if magician comes up to you and starts hovering or whatever, and you have no way of explaining the phenomenon, are you going to belive he's flying? |

There is overwhelming evidence, they are getting too obvious at this point. I don't need it validated by anyone else. |

re read my posts, it has absoluitley NOTHING to do with (insert belif/conspiracy) being valid or in valid. You are just obsessed with the fact that it's unknown, thus having to choose a "stand". While in reality no one is forcing you to take a stand, but for damn sure people will try and convince you to take a stand; because our society is indoctrinated with the illusion that everything is bad or good, black or white etc, |

You are just trying to complicate it by going on about something irrelevant I take a simple stance there are forces working behind the scenes, good night sir. |

this.
I would be less worried about being fooled by forces behind the scenes and more worried about being fooled by my own though process and biases.
Confirmation bias is fun. |

you're thinking life insurance, health insurance covers hospital bills, but it's similar I guess.
Anyways, on to prop bet discussion: taco based on the OPs original posting he doesn't know it's going to happen. He obv believes in all the illuminati stuff and thinks they are trying to take over the world, and thinks the symbology and whatnot in his evidence gives it a chance to be the 2012 games. If you legitimately believed a threat was possible, even a 1-5% chance wouldn't you try and spread the word? So in terms of odds, you laying him 99:1 or 20:1 might be more fair since he thinks there's a small chance of this happening. That's what I got out of it anyways.

If I were to visit LP for the first time and this was the top topic of the "General" discussion I would be gone so fast it'd make my head spin. |
Funny that I actually have some friends who stopped visiting this site and now bad mouth it publically specifically b/c of threads like this one. |

Your friends stopped visiting the site because people can freely speak their mind? |

Yes since these threads give them the impression that the majority of lp r conspiracy peddling nutjobs they choose to go elsewhere. The same as everyone can speak freely on American sidewalks but if given the choice to walk through blocks of preachers in megaphones saying the world is going to end, or take an equal length walk avoiding said preachers I will choose the latter everytime. |

Oh no we missed out on palak lackeys who judge a forum based on a handful of threads.

Last time I checked not reading a thread and not commenting on it took less than a second. |

I think palak is saying that just to discredit the thread, but if he is saying the truth I think these people would not be good posters for LP anyway. I think the good posts are the ones that actually try to generate further positive discussion with an open mind instead of just flamming others with different opnions. Why lose my time answering someone that calls me retard? Rather talk to the people that can actualy add something to the discussion, even if it is an opnion in disagreement with mine.
I had no idea about most of this "conspiracy theories". I had heard some but had never seen any kinda of evidence or documentary about them. There are a lot of crazy theories there. Since I have no way to verify most of the evidence presented what I say is IF the evidence presented, for example, in the 9/11 plot conspiracy theory is true I will have to go ahead and say that, in that case, this conspiracy theory must be true.
In the case of the London Olympics 2012 I think there is a lot of interesting things out there, a lot of the evidence presented made me think further and dig a bit more about it and for sure it is an interesting discussion, but in my opnion there isnt enough evidence for it so I'm still skeptical about it. I wouldnt call crazy someone that believes in these things, a lot of stuff makes sense and we have to be aware that not everyone thinks the same way about what is around us. I rather keep an open mind about it.In the "Iluminatti" case, I think there is too much speculation and too little evidence, but then again, I rather keep an open mind about it.
I'm pretty sure most of the people bashing in this thread didnt spend much digging into any of the info out there. If they did and decided that its all bullshit and therefore have chosen to bash the OP and anyone that remotely agrees with him then I think this person is just very immature. |
