It appears that there is already a group of "truthers" who claim that the Newtown school massacre is a government hoax.

JoeBloejob ... well I don't think a man would let him suck his dick... so I suppose he's chasing (forbidden topic).

Actually, if you lived in that dark era, you probably would believe that too.

The notion seems very logical and intuitive, but of course wrong.

. . . I wonder what things we generally believe now that will be shown to be totally wrong in a century from now?

Do you think people ever conspire to do bad things? Do you think all people who suspect conspiracies are scumbags? Originally Posted by joe bloe

You missed the point entirely about the difference between the ACTUAL conspirators who DO commit crimes and the IMAGINARY conspirators that "truthers" believe are secretly behind every bad event.

I said "Why is it that there is a paranoid section of the population that always believes that tragedies never occur randomly due to the violence of mad fanatics, but are always orchestrated by dark government forces who stage attacks on their own people?"

The example you gave about al-Qaeda doesn't refute my point about "truthers".

Al-Qaeda members are NOT the "dark government forces" that kill their own people. Rather, Al-Qaeda members ARE the REAL "mad fanatics" who ACTUALLY DO commit the violence.

That is not theoretical conspiracy. That is a factual conspiracy.

I think people who disregard the abundant evidence of actual conspiracies and instead dabble in paranoid conspiracy theories involving dark government forces are scumbags.

Truthers are scumbags because they falsely undermine the faith of people in civil institutions. NOTE THAT I SAID "FALSELY" UNDERMINE. There is nothing wrong with being skeptical about, for example, the power of government to fix poverty by endless entitlement spending. There is nothing wrong with being skeptical about the power of government to nation-build in the Middle East. That skepticism is entirely reasonable and is directed to the COMPETENCE of government officials, not to the supposed EVIL of government officials.

Truthers are scumbags because they invariably must slander actual people who are innocent of the accusations against them. Dick Cheney did NOT blow up the levees in New Orleans (He's NOT that smart even if he is that evil). George Bush did not stage a phony airliner attack on the Twin towers while he secretly had them imploded (He's NOT that smart even if he is that evil). Barack Obama did not conspire to have jihadists attack our own embassy so he could look good negotiate for the release of hostages (He's NOT that smart even if he is that evil).

And truthers are scumbags because they inflict even greater sorrow and stress on the families of the victims of these tragedies.

I don't know if the evidence of a Benghazi conspiracy is substantial or nonexistent. I do think, in light of Obama's prior behavior, it can't be dismissed out of hand. Obama is an evil son of a bitch. Originally Posted by joe bloe

And he is NOT that evil. What on earth makes you say he is an evil SOB? I don't like his politics, but I don't think he is evil.

Please cite something that BO had ACTUALLY done that qualifies him as evil. And I don't mean what you imagine he is going to do in the future. I mean what he has actually done. And being friends with Bill Ayers does NOT qualify. I'm sure lots of people are friends with Bill Ayers and they aren't evil.

I think people love conspiracy theories because they're fun. It makes life more interesting to think that secret societies like the Trilateral Commision, the Bilderbergers, Skull and Bones, Freemasons or the Illuminati are behind everything. It makes people feel superior to think they know what's really going on and everyone else is just in the dark.

I also think people tend to instinctively believe that great men can't be killed by lowly insignificant men. It makes life seem absurd to think that greatness can be snuffed out so easily. So, very often assassinations breed conspiracy theories.

But for the sincere, I think it is anything but fun. I think they lead miserable unhappy lives and are always on the lookout for scapegoats. And if they ever get power, watch out. At bottom, the Nazis were huge believers in conspiracy theories - and Jews were behind everything bad. Ultimately, they thought they could improve the work by getting rid of the Jews.

So there is a nasty downside that cannot be ignored.

You're dead on accurate on that count. Disbelief that a low-life bum like Oswald could bring down a golden boy like Kennedy is the root of all Kennedy assassination theories. It is just to offensive to some to believe that life and order are that fragile.

Rather than face reality, some minds sink into dark thoughts about hidden forces.

His sole purpose was to return to Eccie and "write a thread that lists all of the reasons (he) thinks Obama is evil."

Bloehard is a modern day Jerry Fletcher in constant search of a Looney Farm that he can call home!

Go back to your software, do something original and artistic.
