<div class="IPBDescription">They're out to get me!</div> So what kind of conspiracy theories do we beleive in here on the old Discussion Forums?
Write about your wacky stuff here and discuss.
Once I was told that this japanese company has the cure for diabetes and every year major drug companies pay them off so they can keep selling diabetes medication. I usually don't fall for this kind of stuff but this one seemed very plausable for some reason.
Oh, and the JFK thing was obviously some kind of government cover up.

I'm pretty sure that the biggest part of our todays politics aren't decided by peoples elections, but by corporate instructions, and that what we get to see in the media is so filtered down that it doesn't really matter anymore whether somebody tries to fool us purposely or not.
Aside from those pretty tame notions, I'd like to quote Bill Hicks:

So, he is in that small room, and a tiny screen comes down.
One of the guys with a big cigar says "Roll the film." And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination <i>from an angle you've never seen before</i>. Then the screen goes up, the lights go on, and he asks "Any questions?" "Just what my agenda is."<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

etc. etc. etc. I don't understand how anybody can think things like this, but bleh...
The one that I think is completely crazy and off the wall is the one stating that america is not based upon democracy, but rather ruled by a small group of 12 or so people who direct the president and everything. Sound like a certain Metal Gear Solid 2 plot doesn't it? Well there is actually a real conspiracy theory where people think this...
The few conspiracy theories that I think *MAY* have some truth to them are probably the old "JFK assassination being mob-related"

Oh, wait a minute, that's Deus Ex...
/me ejects his Deus Ex CD, gives it to his sister, and tells her to hide it from him.
Oh, no no no my friend. We did NOT land on the moon. Actually, I'm not really sure whether or not we did, but I convinced my friend that we didn't, he got all excited, researched it, and whamo. Now I'm almost convinced.
Did you know this one guy prepared this huge report about how the moon landings were a conspiracy, and on the day he was going to present his findings in court, a train hit his car and the report dissappeared? And how are all the pictures of the astronaughts taken from eye level and perfectly aimed, when the cameras they used were mounted on their stomach and they had no way of telling if the people they were taking pictures of were in the crosshairs? And where is the crater under the moon lander that should have been made by the giant engines blasting? And how did the astronaughts make it past the Van Allen radiation belts? Scientists estimated you would need 2 feet of lead shielding on all sides to make it past, but lo and behold, NASA does it with nothing like that. And how did the rockets land vertically on the moon, but years later, NASA is trying to land rockets vertically and is doing all this research and stuff? Did they FORGET how to land? Eh?

Basicly, the common theory is that we've never been to the moon at all, ever. Not even near it.
there is no wind on the moon hehe.
well even if we didnt really land on the moon then, we have now at least.
oh and the illuminati dont rule the world because lucifer rules the illuminati so therefore lucifer rules the world. christ i thought EVERYONE knew that!

I thought it was big enough to hold a small atmosphere...
Anyways, there are some theories that the first one or two were faked for funding and to win the space race, and that the others are real, but there's also people who think that we can't get past the Van Allen radiation belts at this point in time, since the moon landings are so far the only expedition that has claimed to make it past them.
you crazies talking about Radiation belts and flags blowing, take a look at that site before spewing out more stupid crap. Thanks. :)
Back when the US was trying to reach the moon another nation was trying to as well. They ended up failing but they tried pretty hard. That nation was the USSR. It was a national disaster for the USSR that the US reached the moon first, but they simply couldn't commit enough funds. But, here's the interesting part, they never made any claim that the US didn't reach the moon. They tracked the craft the whole way, from launch to landing and back, and declared themselves beaten. Now if, as you all seem to claim, the US didn't go there, why did the USSR keep silent? It would have been a tremendous propaganda victory for them to show the landings didn't happen. Yet all silence from them. How odd...
[/QUOTE]And where is the crater under the moon lander that should have been made by the giant engines blasting?[QUOTE]
Giant engines? The LEM had a pathetic engine, I'd be amazed if there was any impression. You don't need much to slow down in low gravity.

The moon landers had pilots. Almost all NASA projects today except the shuttles are unmanned. It's a lot tougher to work with computers than people in this kind of feild. That's why computers don't land aircraft, pilots do it.

The total radiation recieved by passing through the Van Allen belts at the speed the Apollo astronaughts did is approx 1 rem. You need at least 25 before feeling any ill effects. You can develop cancers and such in later life with doses as low as 1 rem, but you won't receive any short term effects.
In any case very soon (or maybe already) a commercical telescope is coming on the market that can accuratly make out the original landing site. So maybe this pathetic attempt to deride one of man's greatest achievements can be finally put to bed <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Umm doom... Has anyone ever told you that we live in a class society, and that in fact to state is there to repress the working class and to oversee the dictatorship of capital? People have know that for 150 years at least so I don't know how you could miss that.
I have no idea what the hell were trying to say there. Type it in a coherent sentance please. :)
uhhh, last i checked, I would call adding something to a battery close enough to be termed as "recharging".
For me, I'd rather plop a battery in a charger than have to open it up all the damn time and stuff a twinkie in it.
And yes, Zergling is right, US is a class society where the rich get richer, stay richer, and do whatever they can to ensure that stays that way. I'm not advocating or suggesting communism, just pointing out a clear fact. Where-else but America could a C-student become a President by democratic means. Can he actually read? He does get his advisers to read his reports to him you know. Then there's him slipping up in pre-prepared speeches for Flayra's sake <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anal probing, however, is rediculous.
JFK = Goverment conspiracy, not just some lunatic with a gun and an itch to be in the history books.
Moon Landing = It happened, we had the technology, we used it, we got there.
The country is ruled by big companys, but there is no group of 12, its just that big companies have the most money, and money makes the world go round.
The cows are not what they appear to be.

No, you're confused.
