Conspiracy theories and the conspiracy mindset

Quote from papitosabe : what was wrong with the above post...where was he wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dntrhOVeKrU and you already saw her superbowl performance

what was right about it that had any relevance? she dressed up in costumes and danced.

and the last paragraph is all antisemitic nonsense.

Quote : so what is your confusion?

I had no idea who you were referring to.

See his posts about the number 3 and the pope etc.

kharvel and bonkman please respond to post 249

Quote from joer316 : kharvel and bonkman: Good Will Hunting had it right 14 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gMI_hBgkx2k To all of you ridiculing those that believe in conspiracies: 1) How do you explain the military industrial complex...is that a conspiracy? 2) Has anything changed wrt the status quo since this movie came out over a decade ago? 3) If not, why not?

what do you want me to respond to? taking fiction as nonfiction? I'm honestly not sure what you're looking for.

Discussing how codebreakers are used in the military? Or is it the line about using military to prop up foreign govt?

If you want to talk about the growth of military, I don't know if that's "conspiracy" as much as that is "capitalism" plus "nepotism." Would you think it's a conspiracy if I told you students whose parents went to Harvard were far more likely to get in than students whose parents aren't alumni? There's a difference between "conspiracy" and "that's a sucky break for those on the outside."

Quote from procop : Nah... JFK was assassinated because he was ready to disclose the info about UFO and had already coordinated the timing of the disclosure with Russians. It's well documented, several news sites reported about that and Alex Jones had a segment on his radio show.

It was an Israeli UFO.

Quote from bonkman : what do you want me to respond to?

the three questions I asked

Quote from kharvel : Then I'm sure you read the sentence AFTER that one. Did you take that second sentence seriously as well? There is no need for that if the statement is so absurd on its face that it cannot be anything but sarcasm. . . . UNLESS, of course, it happens to be true. In which case, the world has indeed gone crazy. So let's explore the following statement: Do you believe the depiction of the concerns and outrage of conservatives with regards to 9/11, our national security, and the Constitution to be true?

once I read , "Of course it is NOT sarcastic" that was all I took in....it was not obvious, even NM asked...and I say its not obvious because there are people that feel what your comment said... period.. it wasn't obvious, and sometimes it can be hard to read sarcasm online...sorry if you cannot understand that.. I've been sarcastic on here too and some people get it and some don't...no biggy... I'll remove the sig since I misread what you meant...

Not a UFO... but it was Israel who assassinated JFK...

I don't think our children is learning...

Quote from papitosabe : there's alot of different theories regarding JFK...all I know is that one bullet could not have done what it did.... and the powers that be weren't stupid enough to think one bullet did it either, therefore there was a plot to hide what really happened.... yea, but alex jones is always predicting things....he predicted a terrorist attack on the last olympics and a bunch of other stuff that never came true... not saying that he's not right on a lot of things that are going on...

Quote from vaultaddict : I don't think our children is learning...

Dey don't want the sheep to learn bout Israel...

Quote from NM 156 : Dey don't want the sheep to learn bout Israel...

At the risk of a timeout, I find you to be the silliest fool on Slickdeals, hands down.

My only hope is that you're just young and stupid.

agreed...too many sheeple teaching the lamb

Quote from papitosabe : agreed...too many sheeple teaching the lamb

And you're in second place

Quote from vaultaddict : And you're in second place

and thats because I speak out against sheeple? because I question gov't and call out things that are going on? take a look in the mirror before you start pointing fingers

Were you too afraid to question the government actions immediately after 9/11 lest you be labeled a "traitor" and asked to "get out of the country"?

What do you think of what the government's (as represented by George W. Bush) proclamation that if you're against "us" (the government), then you must be with the terrorists?

I wouldn't say I was afraid to speak out, but like I've stated in the past, I was a sheeple for most of my life. Obeying, conforming, and never questioning gov't. I sound like a lot of people do here in the podium, and repeated what the good ole gov't and MSM would tell me and take it all as fact.

I didn't think much of that statement then, I was all about gov't going and getting all the boogeymen. I was one of these guys in the crowd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSk4SUpWVuY
