Callin you out my friend!!!!

Well, how about one from you. Or, reply to your thread about how to make a society better.

One way to do that is not to be afraid, be honest and to speak your mind,

I am waiting Mr. Elf.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that JFK was killed by LBJ's hired guns.

I think DaVinci Code is the silliest one.

And the most likely conspiracy theory to be true I would say is that men invented monogamy and fidelity to gain control of the procreative process because they were tired of hearing their sisters' sons say you're not my father!

I'm only paranoid because they're out to get me!

I once saw an Onion title that said (and I paraphrase, workin' from memory) "JFK killed by CIA, FBI, Mafia, Castro, Soviets, Freemasons: President shot 237 times from 42 angles". That's my favourite conspiracy theory.

My favourite is where they never actually landed on the moon, and how they go into the how the shadows fall and **** to prove that it was filmed in a studio. *rofl*

Most annoying : any involving Princess @#$@ing Di's death

Most realistic? Dunno. They're all hokey aren't they?

Just so you know, I totally believe that moon conspiracy theory. Also you need to see the documentary that they won't show on tv about that issue. When Neal armstrong was confronted, he got mad and screamed why don't you go talk to nasa about that, and then actually punched the interviewer in the face!!! That wasn't even the most convincing part of the documentary.

Never watch what they allow on tv.

I probably mentioned this once before but my great-grandmother believed to her death that it had been faked and nothing would shake her from her belief. I thought it was kind of cute. Especially considering since I heard later there actually were plans and a studio to fake it if necessary. Faking the lunar landing,... I think only Americans could come up with something like that.

I think the Lunar landing studio theory is the silliest, wouldn't you get mad if you went to the moon and no one beleaved you?

*Grabs a donut*

The most likely? The Templar finding Solomans treashure. (It's also my favorite )

LOL! This sent me over to the Umberto Eco thread because I couldn't remember of you liked Foucault's Pendulum, but I see you do. (Still chuckling!)

I think the famous UFO picture from the 50's turned out to be a fake, too, when a married couple confessed to it recently.

Speaking of which, I was watching stargate season 4 the other day and there's this really paranoid guy who thinks the govt is watching him and stuff, and when the main character in the show asked him about the faked moon landing, he was all like, no silly, that's all a coverup up to hide the real coverup! *rofl*

<edit> and we all know that tintin was the first man on the moon

Furthermore, thousands of people have confessed to the killings of JFK and other political leaders.

Really, admitting to have orchestrated something that have later become a subject to conspiracy theories, is also a way to get attention.
Confessions that everything's a fake doesn't kill cryptozoology or conspiration theories that easily

Well, duh!

I get a kick out of all the "secret society" theories like Bilderberg and Skulls and Bones. My English teacher was totally into all of the conspiriacy stuff...

Speaking of conspiracy theories, apparently you can now have your very own...



BLOOD SACRAMENT DAGGER OF THE SECRET JESUIT PRIESTS

Read the description for the item. High-larious! And this fellow apparently got his hands on seven of these babies.

EDIT: If you poke around, turns out this fellow has ceremonial daggers used by Goreans, too!

I recall a lady stating the Kennedy's were actually the Romanov's come to America.

Wow, I did know that they confessed about Nessie. I guess that would have been great if true.

Oh, the face on Mars. That is a nice one.

Do the fake moon landing people think all satellite photos weather info etc... is fake?
