Rush Limbaugh's theory that Obama would "use Haiti" for the "liberal agenda" & that donations through the Red Cross for Haiti were a bad idea. Dreaming up excuses not to help, praise the LORD!
Only people w/minds of 6 yr olds, the greed of Gordon Geico, & the racism of Archie Bunker can listen to Rush Limbaugh & Ann Coulter.
But yea, the conspiracy theorists REALLY get their rocks off with the chicken little routine. If you tell them everything's gonna be alright, they get really pissed.
Hi. I like conspiracy theories,(for entertainment) and I know you weren't talking to me, but I wanna answer anyway. :D
The one that I love to hate is the David Icke bag of trix. Basically it's a mix of every single conspiracy theory ever; much like the guy you heard at the book store. Lizards, aliens, mind control, government of all types, everything! I say I love to hate it because it makes my logical brain /facepalm but it's SO stupid I can't help but chuckle.
Hi Grindstone, I'm enjoying the videos...question though: could you explain further why you hate conspiracy theories?...it seems to me that conspiracies can in fact exist in reality...so are you saying that you have a problem with considering a certain one's existence? or are you just saying that certain theories are ridiculous because they don't have enough evidence to indicate they might be real?
I think AIDS denialism and the anti-vax movement annoy me the most, simply because they kill a shedload of people. Perhaps that's stretching conspiracy theory into pseudo-science, but there's enough of a link. Closely followed by homeopathy.
David Aaronovtich has a book out on conspiracy theories. I'd post a link but YT won't let me. Harrumph.
I hate the term "conspiracy theory". People who come up with crazy theories about the illuminati, ufos and biblical profecies have polluted the term "conspiracy" up to the point that people think that actual conspiracies are all in the realm of fantasy.
Conspiracies are a fact of life. It's just that they are mostly about corruption in governments, financial institutes and big corporations, not about moon beams, multi dimensional aliens and magic spells performed in Ben Bernanke's cellar.
I agree. shamed celebs engage in damage limitation, as do poiticians. Corrupt business practices. It is all a tale as old as time.
Just like the god of the gaps. I call conspiracies the plot in the shadows. There was a time when everyone knew pretty much what was going on in a community (In neolithic times for example.) Now society is so complex that people become confused and they come up with theories about what goes on in the unseen corners of society.
I love conspiracy theories from an entertainment perspective and only believe in a few of them.......or something.
Really though, the one I hate the mostest is the one that says Aliens/UFO's aren't really travellers from another planet, they are really Demons, in league with the government to take over the world.
There is just so much in that one, it's marvellous. Of course, I'm too much of a sheep to see the real truth of it....
How come I think people can wear whatever they like, including Goth boots and fishnet stockings, but think that no man, should ever, EVER wear a tartan dressing gown.
creation. moon landing.

The most stupid one I constantly stumble upon is the UFO conspiracy theory.
The most offensive I think are the racist ones.

I have to second this, 9/11, evolution, global warming conspiracy theories are relatively harmless compared to those about vaccines.
Look no further than C0nc0rdance's recent video.

It's funny you should mention that. Pastor Anal Peters's combination dish towel/prayer cloth was on my desk as I was recording this video.
I'm a frood who really knows where his towel is.
