[QUOTE="Martin, post: 152257, member: 28"] [b]You know what the best thing about conspiracies are?[/b] Best thing about conspiricies is that when you talk about the big ones--the ones that everyone's fond of, y'know, the Masons, the Illuminati, etc--is that it doesn't really matter. Think about it. You find out that there is a major conspiracy of monumental proportions, you pull out a handful of evidence, and you can't do anything about it. No one will believe you, and if they do, they're just as likely to be looked upon as gibbering crackpots as you are. Look, the best thing to do is just to accept the fact that there are likely to be consipiricies in the government and within corporations. The ones that can be brought down will be brought down and the ones that can't be or are too big at the moment won't be. They'll generally die out eventually. That's part of the nature of the beast as well. Accept the fact that nothing lasts forever and in a hundred years, anyone involved in your pet conspiracy will likely be dead. Accept that most underhanded dealings are usually discovered, thus leading to the downfall of such things. Look at the progress in dairy products alone, from the watered down, chalk enhanced milk that was produced by dairy farmers feeding their cattle swill, to the higher quality product that we have today. Things we can change we will. Things we can't, we won't. Conspiracy theories about whether Neil Armstrong walked on the moon or whether he walked in a Burbank studio are of the latter variety. Who cares? What can be done about it? What effect does it have on the world? By creating a myth that man could reach the moon, the moonwalk, real or not, gave us hope. JFK, regardless of who shot him, will not get better. Can we take back Pearl Harbour if we were to find absolute proof that FDR knew about it? No. Keep your conspiracy theories to yourself, I say. Sure, they're fun and all, but still--they don't matter. You're only making yourself look like a loon when you share them. If you don't believe me, take a good, long look at your fellow theorists. You'll see what I mean. And if you don't like what I've got to say . . . . . . lodge a complaint to your local chapter of the Illuminati. Maybe they'll listen to you. [/QUOTE]
