We've all met people with some dangerously stupid conspiracy theory. Please list some of the most stupid and annoying conspiracy theories you've been told.

Mine: 2Pac is still alive, and his rise from the dead in like a year.

The moon landing.

The moon landing.

Indeed, I find it silly that some people actually still think it was real.

9/11 was done by the American govt/Jews/Freemasons/whoever else that isn't radical Muslims.

The most annoying conspiracy theory:

"The Holocaust never happened."

*annoyed*

Not so much annoying as horribly, horribly stupid and insensitive.

omg jews did 9/11

9/11 was done by the American govt/Jews/Freemasons/whoever else that isn't radical Muslims.

No, it was dwarves, only they could fit inside missiles.

The Western Democracies won the Second World War.

Popular theory that one :D

Oh, and that Bill Gates did that :rolleyes: on purpose.

That Jarosław Kaczyński is Lech Kaczyński's clone, not his twn brother. While I do not support their government of Poland, I find this theory to be simply ridiculous.

9/11 conspiracies, holocaust conspiracies, liberal media conspiracies and the moon landing conspiracies.

Any of the ones that are about immense tragedies. They take a somber event and add a patina of ridiculousness to it.

That Jarosław Kaczyński is Lech Kaczyński's clone, not his twn brother. While I do not support their government of Poland, I find this theory to be simply ridiculous.

I always find it amusing that they have the same (pre-anglicization) family name as the Unabomber.

It's still the weirdest fucking government going.

agreed.

Holocaust Denial and Young Earth Creationism.

Holocaust Denial and JFK Assassination Theorists.

JFK Assassination Theorists.

Ugh, I forgot about those.

Ugh, I forgot about those.

It was the Maf--

*whacked*

It's still the weirdest fucking government going.

Define "weird."

Define "weird."

Two closely related individuals being in the highest positions of a democratic government is pretty weird. The fact that they're twin brothers, even weirder.

Agreed. :p

The thing about the moon landing is that the average Joe who believes it hasn't enough proof to prove it.

Ted graduated from the High School I went to. :)

That the "Illuminati" is out to get you, I mean come on, thats just cra-

That Bielefeld exists. We all know that it was invented at the times of the 2nd world war to keep the allies from bombing relevant places and that in our time it only exists for tax benefits (corporations cna claim to get stuff from suppliers in Bielefeld, which lowers their profit and thus their taxes).

"We never went to the moon, it was all a movie that was shot at Area 51"

:rolleyes:

The thing about the moon landing is that the average Joe who believes it hasn't enough proof to prove it.

Moon landing is no big woop EITHER WAY. So ... not a good (ie irritating) conspiracy theory.

EDIT: Er, I recant. It was a big woop at the time. But Armstrong / his handlers should not have scripted the "first words from the moon." There would have been a lot less doubt and disappointment if instead of trying to be profound he had said "Oh shit, it really is made of cheese!"

The moon landing.

Maybe they landed in Bielefeld...

Wanna prove the moon landing happened? Point a laser at the two mirrors they put up there.

Is there a demonstration on youtube or something? I always wanted to do that after hearing about it but never tried.

space aliens and atlanteans built stonehenge/the pyramids/the first national bank down on the corner

No idea, I've seen it done before though.

Oh yeah. I shoot up the laser, it hits the mirrors, bounces off and hits me in the eye. Now I'm blind. Great work :p

Most conspiracy theories irritate me, but one that's irritated me recently (because there was a thread on NSG about it) is so-called "chemtrails". While there is absolutely zero credibility to it, and there is a concrete legitimate explaination for it, some morons still believe it's the government gassing them.

Oh come on, the Illuminati aren't really still around-
*is assassinated*

Loose Change for the win.

That a missile, not a plane, hit the Pentagon.
The "controlled demolition" nonsense about the towers.
...That it was an ANTIMATTER BOMB instead of, ya know, a plane.

The pervading belief that behind every unexplained event - Tunguska, Bermuda Triangle, UFOs - there is a OMG TESLA TECHNOLOGY.

The belief that illegal immigration is a conspiracy to commit genocide against white people so that globalists can unify the world into one world government.

The belief that Muslims are all (or even most) supporters of terrorism.

The belief that Jews control the world/world's economy.

Holocaust denial.

Lizard people.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Loose Change, soooo many things wrong with it, sooo many things it makes my head hurt.

I really wish the MythBusters would attack Loose Change, but they have a policy to not do that.

That Democracy works....

Dinosaur bones were put there by Satan to trick people into believing in evolution.









Yes. I have seriously heard that one.

Dinosaur bones were put there by Satan to trick people into believing in evolution.









Yes. I have seriously heard that one.

I don't think I could hear that seriously...!

boom boom!

That some sky fairy is super pissed at us, and that the only way we can appease him is by eating bits of wine and bread magically transformed into little bits of this fairy's zombie son.

Dinosaur bones were put there by Satan to trick people into believing in evolution.
Yes. I have seriously heard that one.

I've heard it too. I was like 10 or 11 and I was at this youth group at church, and the group leaders were like "watch htis video, it's about dinosaurs" and the guy in the video was like "I like dinosaurs, I like T-rexes, brontosaurs, all these dinosaurs, but there is one thing I do not like about them. Scientists say that they are millions of years old, but humans have only been around for a couple thousand years. I think Satan put the dinosaur bones there to trick the evil scientists into believing that God does not exist" Even at 10 or 11 I was like "wtf?"

The thing about the moon landing is that the average Joe who believes it hasn't enough proof to prove it.

The moon rover that the Astronauts were driving had an arcing trail of lunar dust behind it. This is impossible to recreate on Earth, as our atmosphere causes kicked up dust to cloud instead of arc.

Thus, the only explanation is that either:

A)It's rather obvious they landed on the moon.
B)NASA somehow magically created a massive vacuum chamber which sucked out ALL the air.

Which is more plausible? Landing on the moon, or a massive vacuum chamber?

The Bilderberg Group manipulates the world Economy: Really?...wealthy politicians are ruling the world...fancy that :)

Holocaust Denial and Young Earth Creationism.Young Earth Creationism is a conspiracy? Isn't that rather just belief in what Judaism offers as history?

Dinosaur bones were put there by Satan to trick people into believing in evolution.









Yes. I have seriously heard that one.From a Mormon?

Creationism, which implies that there is a vast conspiracy among scientists to suppress the "truth."

The theory that the government is hiding the truth about UFOs, Roswell and Area 51. It's not hiding anything, the real conspiracy is that it (the government) is using the idiotic drivel presented supporting the UFO business to deflect our attention from real problems, like whether Laura Bush and Li'l Bush are having marital problems, or whether Rachael Ray's husband is two-timing.

Actually Area 51 was shrouded in secrecy, but mainly because it was a military base used to test top secret experimental aircraft such as the F-117 Nighthawk, not for housing UFOs. As for Roswell, I'm incline to believe that it was a weather balloon because of what the witness describe. They describe stuff that came off of a box kite, tin foil like substance, wood, plastic. They never described anything metal, or support structures that would be inside a UFO.

That the chicken used in KFC are mutant, genetically engineered chickens and that KFC is not allowed to use the full name Kentucky Fried Chicken because the chickens have 8 wings and breasts the size of Pamela Anderson's and are not from Kentucky.


But it is annoying only because I wish it were true.

This begs the question of why. You're either really into chicken, or really want to get IN the chicken.

:eek:

Young Earth Creationism is a conspiracy? Isn't that rather just belief in what Judaism offers as history?

In order to accept Yound Earth Creationism you have to believe that every Anatomist, Archeologist, Astronomer, Biologist, Dendrochronologist, Geneticist, Geo-chronologist, Geologist, and Paleontologist on the planet is actively involved in denying and covering up the evidence for a Young Earth. Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.Yep. I've always considered the bible the product of a conspiracy (or alternatively of plain stupidity, or both).

The infamous global warming conspiracy.

Seeing people constantly depicting the left has non-credible poor tree hugging hippies but according them the responsibility of a secret world wide movement just crack me up...

Most annoying? Moon landing, because I can personally debunk anyone who challenges the fact that men landed on the moon.

Second most annoying? The UN wants to take over the world.

Third most annoying? 9/11 and 7/7 conspiracies. The government isn't that insipid.

Most of them are pretty annoying. I think the whole "NASA and many others are involved in hiding evidence that the earth is flat" is the most annoying.

Mod conspiracy. But I guess that's just me.

Mod conspiracy. But I guess that's just me.

A conspiracy of posters rising against mods, that mods fabricated for themselves to propagate paranoia among mods against posters? Whew, that's a mouthful.

On topic :

The conspiracy of Jehova's Witnesses are trying to convert all of humanity.... oh wait, they just annoy me because they're relentless. Gotta give props for that.

Mod conspiracy. But I guess that's just me.

Soylent Green is Moderation! :eek:

The funniest I can remember comes from Jack Chick(The idiot of all idiots).

It is that the Catholic Church has a database stored under Vatican City that has logged every single Non-Catholic in the world.

Yeah, that is so plausible it has to be true.

Moderators are made of people????

I'm interested.

"I don't believe Man landed on the moon."

What have you got?

The infamous global warming conspiracy.

I agree completely.

That and the theory that it's a conspiracy to get money. Hello, if we wanted your money we could just encourage you to drive fuel-inefficient cars and reap the taxes from petrol rather than encourage you to go for money-saving fuel-efficient cars!

Flat-Earthers come a close second, though. 9/11 conspiracy theorists a close third.

Soylent Green is Moderation! :eek:

You'd better go now. You don't want to see what happened to Ardchoille. (shudders)

I always find it amusing that they have the same (pre-anglicization) family name as the Unabomber.
ooohhhh....you could tie those two together and make up your own brand new conspiracy theory.
Maybe they triplets, not twins and Ted's their long-lost identical brother.


I can't stand these theories (not exactly conspiracy but what the hey):
The Atheist's nightmare: the Banana (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9zwbhAXe5yk)
The Atheist's nightmare: Peanut Butter (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FZFG5PKw504)
It just makes me cringe and....argh! There's so much wrong with their arguments, I just what to smack a fundie upside the head with a peanut-butter coated banana!

(edit: watching the first one again it suddenly struck me how homoerotic it is.
"when you pull the tab, the contents don't squirt in your face"
"It has a point at the top for ease of entry"
"Just the right shape for the human mouth"
"even curved towards the face to make the whole process so much easier"

they are talking about a banana aren't they?)

I'm interested.

"I don't believe Man landed on the moon."

What have you got?
~700 lbs of moonrock and 2 laser reflecting dishes set up on the moon.
that enough for ya?

The delay between transmissions is pretty damn difficult to fudge.
Also the Russians were monitoring the radio transmissions when they landed and they were satisfied it happened. Ask yourself: which country in the 1960s would have gotten the most out of proving American was lying about the moon landings? And why didn't they if it really was fake?

Maybe they landed in Bielefeld...
Surely they did!

i think the 911 thing is the cats meow.

did they let it happen..possible like pearl harbor,but perpetrated by americans and israilis is completely laughable.

a controlled detonation..lol...show me how to drop 2 buildings like that with out thousands involved..someone always talks!

now i can buy the jfk thing,always id really.

a new one is the pentagon thing,some purport that we shot the aircraft down over the ocean,and slammed a missile into an unused section of the pentagon to cover the fact that we shot down an airliner.

CONSPIRACY! ;)

Clearly the most annoying conspiracy theory is 9/11.

The US government clearly used dragons to set the towers on fire and had a giant robot Will Smith stomp them into dust.

The 9/11 conspiracy theories are the worst. I can't believe some people still believe the WTC was destroyed by Al-Qaeda.

EDIT: Actually, forget I said that; there's no way I can top the awesomeness of the post before this one.

Not so much annoying as horribly, horribly stupid and insensitive.

Yes because anyone who questions the official story of 9/11 is automatically an 3vil jew hating moster.


Shut up.

Besides 9/11, the moon landing.

I could imagine, at a time when the space race was in full-swing, that someone might have reasonably believed it to be a hoax - but in light of all the counterevidence, 35 additional years of space travel, and no credible supporting evidence from anyone either in the U.S. or former Soviet governments, clinging to this one just doesn't add up. :p

Bad Kat!

I still love you, I'll still feed you, but ...

please stop bringing all those things you killed into the house!

Probably been said, but the MOST annoying is the theory that all conspiracy theories are wrong, especially when it's said by people who don't check the facts, because the media told them it was true, and it would hurt people's feelings to question it!:mad: Or maybe that's a stereotype instead i don't know.

I know you work for bohemian club or whatever it's called people!
and the world is on to you!

From a Mormon?

Not sure if he was a Mormon, but he was definitely a moron.

I find that the more preposterous a conspiracy theory is, the less annoying it is. Conspiracy theories involving shapeshifting reptilians are too entertaining to be annoying. 9/11 conspiracy theories, while just as false, have just enough prima facie plausibility to make ridicule an ineffective response. Thus, they annoy me more.

Bad Kat!
