Its just a poll. Lighten up. Why would anyone care what people think? Exactly! If he wishes to bleat this silly mantra, let him. Who gives a toss about a flawed poll? It's just spamming anyway. So why would you open and participate in a thread of spam? I didn't open it. Haven't you read it? I want him to answer my question, not that it's any business of yours. And I'm free to participate in whatever I like. Why do you care what I think? You "open" a thread when you click on it. You know what the topic of this thread is all about, and you call it "spam." I am just curious why you opened the thread to participate in this thread of spam. As I stated previously, I want to see my question answered (is that ok with you?), but all I get is BIS spamming another site's poll. |

Just The Facts:
The average conspiracy theorist will argue with NASA, Nobel-prize winners, and every expert in the world despite having fewer qualifications than the average fry cook. Conspiracy theorists view logical argument as cheating. Like pizzing fetishes and tentacle rape comics, conspiracy theories are a problem made much worse by the Internet. Never assume malice when incompetence will do. An Ego Issue: Conspiracy theorists divide the world into "Everyone even remotely involved/qualified vs. Me," and decide that they'll win single-handedly. They're like Rambo with bullchit instead of bullets. They tend to enjoy the ego-boost that comes with thinking of oneself as the only intelligent objector in a world of sheeple. When the government has to spend billions of dollars shuttling Elvis from Roswell to the Bermuda Triangle and back in black helicopters before you can feel good about yourself, you've got to be pretty tragic. Shadowy Organizations: Conspiracy theorists believe the world is run by schizophrenic shadowy organizations who - despite conspiring with millions in perfect silence - can't resist putting clues in things like major public monuments and every note of currency ever printed. Making the average Batman villain look like Professor Moriarty. At the last count the world was secretly being run by the Illuminati, Knights Templar, Freemasons, Trilateral commission, New World Order, Skull & Bones society, Bilderberg group, Nine Unknown Men and the ever-popular Jews. It's unknown whether they all vote on various issues or just ask Dan Brown whose turn it is each week. Conspiracy theorists honestly believe that these invisible elites have run thousands of years of history but are incapable of killing someone who lives in a basement and shouts on street corners. Conspiracy Theorist Abilities: Conspiracy theorists display incredible attention to detail, an even more incredible ability to ignore details they don't like, obsessive focus and a complete absence of social skills. Every time a new crazy decides that Bush brought down World Trade Center, anime loses a powerful Pokemaster. Summary: Conspiracy theories connect the dots of random events into meaningful patterns and then infuse those patterns with intentional agency. Add to those propensities the confirmation bias (which seeks and finds confirmatory evidence for what we already believe) and the hindsight bias (which tailors after-the-fact explanations to what we already know happened), and we have the foundation for conspiratorial cognition. |

Well, that just confirms what sane people already knew. |

It helps to prevent the tactics of "divide and conquer" that so many club members constantly use to gang up on people who regard truth as a virtue rather than a threat. Truth is only threat to people who have something to hide. |

It's easier to post slogans and cultist mantras (e.g. "9/11 was an inside job" and other meaningless mottos). |

Here is a good mantra:
TRUTH IS NOT A THREAT TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. |

Truth is never a threat to those who have nothing to hide.

More cultist mantras?

Why People Believe in Conspiracies --->A skeptic's take on the public's fascination with disinformation If you want "disinformation" start with the Major Media. CBS, CNN, ABC, CNBC, New York times, etc. Then continue to the Internet and get lost in every conceivable spin and propaganda angle known to the universe. People are fascinated with disinformation because IT IS ALL DISINFORMATION. And because they are looking for the truth. |

Truth is never a threat to those who have nothing to hide. Why would it be? It isn't. You are correct. It isn't. But truth seems to be a big threat to the government, politicians, Bankers, corporations, the FED, the CIA, the FBI... (all professional trained LIARS.) |

CTers are just looking for confirmation of their own uninformed & distorted view of the world and don't understand the true nature of scepticism. I love the piece on 'they'. Again this perception is based on a personal model of what the government actually is. The CT model suggests that the government is a single organism, either in control, or under control, of another nebulous body working against the population, where in actual fact it is made up of individuals whose primary interest lies with the lobbying of each individual's constituency-each vying to further each agenda. The Cter simplification, is, of course, unrealistic and quite charming in its naivete. |

On the contrary, Conspiracy theorists are the biggest skeptics of all. We are skeptical of the official stories AND all the others. We consider all possibilities. Perhaps what YOU believe is "the distorted view of the world." |
