About this user
I make a distinction between people I feel sorry for and people I hate.
The Sorry For's:
Gullible dupes who swallow everything they are told, from Creationism, to astrology, to crystals, to homeopathy, to Loch Ness Monsters (I fell for it too when I was a kid), to Bermuda Triangles (plus other oceonographically 'cute' geometries), to crop circles, to '9-11 was done by James Bond' types, Illuminati for the Illiterati, Numerology, et al.
The people who fall for Conspiracy Theory "ain't it fun to think about" nonsense are trying to extend their childhood. Scratch the surface and you'll find their video shelves are filled with Matrix DVDs, their bookshelves stocked with spy thrillers.
My American culture LOVES the idea of the stalwart persistent teenager pulling a string and unraveling the Big Plot of the adults. Like the War Games film, or Hardy Boys books. Well...GROW THE HELL UP! Life isn't a Scooby-Doo cartoon. 9-11 isn't a fun playtoy for you. Those people didn't die so that you could type in Flight 93 debris distance using MapQuest and go "GASP!" for your own pleasure...while you wait for the ADULTS to tell you that flying debris doesn't follow a twisting winding road around a lake.
The Hate You's:
People who know better themselves and yet deliberately exploit the aforementioned dupes.
Observation of the month:
Ever notice how these Conspiracy documentaries produced by teens in their basements always waste the first 6 minutes on dozens of fade-in cryptic irrelevant factoids? With the menacing, sinister music?Yet the documentaries that debunk this garbage seem to know how to get right to the point? Speaks volumes to me on the seriousness and vaildity of each.
The former is for gullible dumb kids (even in their 30s or 40s).
The later is for serious adults who long ago sold their Scooby-Doo colorforms on eBay.
