i did a search and came up with nothing, i even went through all the pages and saw that nothing was started.
i would honestly like to know what everyone's belief on a conspiracy theory is.
before you even say anything, understand what a conspiracy theory is:
a theory that explains an event as being the result of a plot by a covert group or organization; a belief that a particular unexplained event was caused by such a group.
with that said, i know there are some pretty stupid ones such as KFC and barcods, but there are some pretty serious ones such as ones behind 9/11 and the new world order.
what are everyone's views on these theories?

Well it depends on the theory itself. To automatically assume that the government/the church/some other organization is secretly masterminding everything from 9/11 down is silly and paranoid, but to pretend that there aren't movers and shakers in high places making some important events and tragedies occur is just naive.

I guess the idea is just to take everything with a grain of salt and come to your own conclusions--don't believe anything right off the bat, be it an official report or a far-fetched theory you heard somewhere.

well like i said, i meant any theory in general. i just want to know what people tink of them -- such as do you agree with conspiracy theories, do you think they are bullshit, and what not.

I'm one of those in the camp of people that believe the moon landing was a conspiracy. I've seen a lot of evidence for both arguments and I would saymy educated opinion is that it was all done on a film set to boost American morale and distract them from the on going war.
