Question For GD2004: When Did This Forum Turn Into The X-Files?

[DrFunkenstein]

Seriously, we went through many, many months with only the barest of conspiracy theories, and these were most often roundly denounced. But it really seems pretty widespread here lately.

Not unlike this: Billy could not find his baseball.

Most likely

A) He forgot where he left it.
B) His sister is currently using it.
C) The freemasons controlling the media removed it to stop Billy from one day becoming a successful player and driving up salaries, thus tightening their vice-like grip on the global economy.

Which one would win a poll at DU?

[MurikanDemocrat]

1. Right now, C of course.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

2. I couldn't resist.

Billy could not find his baseball.

[JailForBush]

3. Funny, I've noticed very few conspiray theories of that type here.

I've seen lots of good conspiracy theories regarding 9/11, Gulf War II, corporate corruption, the Education Mafia, etc. But not many kooky theories.

[DenverDem]

6. There are no conspiracies.

No vast right wing conspiracy.

No media conspiracy.

No conspiracy to fix the 2000 election.

No conspiracy to get us into a never ending middle east war.

No conspiracy to destroy California's energy system economically.

No conspiracy to kill John Kennedy.

Cowardly denial like this has gotten us where we are today.

Anyone who uses the term "tinfoil hat" derisivly is supporting these conspiracies by attempting to chill inquisitive thought. No matter how kooky conspiracy theories sound to denialists, the realities of what really goes down goes far beyond "kooky".

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. There are no conspiracies. Insert head back into sand.

10. Not to mention...

there was no october surprise and no Iran Contra, either.

[DenverDem]

12. I ran out of patience to list them all.

It would take days.


But THERE ARE NO CONSPIRACIES!

4. Ask the people...

...who think Nader is some kind of spooky secret Republican operative.

Maybe they can tell you.

Oh, but it's true! He went to Princeton!

[KittyWampus]

5. Didn't Nader Form His Own Secret Society?

With Initiation Rites involving sex in the back seat of a Corvair or something?

[MurikanDemocrat]

7. Yes, sex with small animals

[ldoolin]

8. Naaah, it was a black helicopter

The Corvair stuff was started by the Bilderbergers and the Illuminati to throw people off track.

[Leilani]

14. He was trained

at the School of the Americas, by Wes Clark himself.

[cryofan]

9. CorpGovMedia imported a newly minted "BaseBall Stealer" from India

He is here on an BB-1 Visa. He was assisted by an illegal alien who was hyp-mo-tized by a supersecret minion of the BFEE.

[Leilani]

11. The Truth is Out There

somewhere.

[Philosophy]

13. Conspiracy theories are fun

[mikehiggins]

15. The Freemasons, of course. We're behind everything

"Someone you trust is one of us."

NAYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And you thought you were paraniod all along...

[DemBones DemBones]

16. I must say that I really admire how the media, the DLC, the DNC,

or whoever it was, DUPED all those Democrats into voting for Kerry.

[DenverDem]

17. Mass mind control is a science.

The sheeple are easy to lead.

ELECTABILITY is the only issue!!!
