Laying it out there...Conspiracy Theories [View all]

(Hide the thread if it bothers you )

There seems to be an all-or-nothing, if you believe this then you believe that attitude going on here...while we commemorate the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination.

Just because I believe Oswald acted alone, doesn't mean I believed everything we were/weren't told about NSA...and I also believe climate change is real.

I believe the Warren commission did a craptastic job, and I came to my own conclusion by myself...over the years.

I am also a LIHOPper; I believe that Bushco let "something" happen in order to retaliate against their targeted enemies...not knowing that that "something" would be as horrendous as the events of 9/11.

I believe that flight 587 crashed as the result of a shoe bomb, and that the government did the right thing by not claiming this. Otherwise we would not have been lulled into the false sense of security provided by removing our shoes in the TSA line, and the airline industry would not have recovered.

I believe the conspiracy theory activity around JFK is a sign of intelligence and not idiocy or ignorance. I don't think we need to move on. I think we should continue to think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions on all manner of things.

I believe DU is an interesting place, filled with people who hold differing ideas on many of these things. To shut down that discussion, to all walk the same narrow line, would be kind of a yicky thing.

(I believe this thread will be alerted on, and I believe the odds of it being hidden are about 50/50)

Have a good night, DU
