Due to an interesting conversation on MSN, I've decided to open up a serious discussion on conspiracies. Please - no flaming if you disagree with one or feel they don't exist. Just an interesting discussion on what conspiracies may or may not be 'out there'....

99% of all conspiracie theories are a load of rubbish. Made up by people looking for some excitement in their lives, and belivied beacuse of wishful thinking. Most conspiracie theorys come from watching too much X-files.

yes, i have a rather interesting one about ex-General Douglass MacArthur, seeing as how he left my grandfather for dead in the Phillipinnes in the forties... anyways...

i think that MacArthur was actually a Japanese agent placed in the U.S. military in anticipation for the war. and when the going got tough, he ran away and waited for the conquest to finish. but when the Japanese stopped paying (he was paid off, since he was born in the States) he turned back to the U.S. and fought against Japan again.

We actually had that at school today. He WAS gay. I had an interesting theory about J.F.K though, wich Dragonmage has already heard and i thus will not post.

Who came up with the idea there were conspiracies anyway? It was just a scheme to make everyone paranoid so they would overlook the bad things that were hidden in plain sight, searching for cover-ups instead. Then the nice government people provided us with one or two, pointing out bringing men to the moon was possibly fake, as only a few people would have been there to confirm it anyway, and maybe they were in the scheme too.

There's also some guy adding to Nostradamus' prophecies all the time as soon as something big happens, if you ask me. There's a familiy of keeper/adders who make sure we think their great-great-great-...-great-grandfather was a visionary..
