If you don't know how easily a reality can be manufactured, conspiracy theories go in one ear and out the other. If you're smart, you'll appreciate how if you think a certain way, you manifest that thought. It's that simple. Now if we could only control our thoughts to create exactly what we want instead of allowing other thoughts to interfere and change the outcome, then we'd be better prepared to determine the truthfulness out of all these distractions. Look about you--practically everything is designed to impregnate your mind with certain thoughts, to discourage you from any and all alternatives, and to guide you towards a reality designed by others. This isn't a conspiracy theory, this is a conspiracy fact.

So, do I believe in a conspiracy? Yes, and I choose to ignore those things which didn't originate inside me. I avoid the intentional distractions like television, video games, radio, advertising, etc. All of these things have one real purpose: to distract you from yourself. That's, right, the answers were all inside and you've been wasting all this time looking elsewhere, being distracted by the pretty lights and the loud noises of this artificial world. But since you refuse to accept the responsibility for how you created this world, this stuff will go in one ear and out the other.

Agreed completely! The phrase 'conspiracy Theory' is meant to be a phrase that means you're crazy and wear tin foil hats (see above posts), do a google search on 'conspiracy theories proved true'. You'll get plenty of subjects that were originally seen as conspiracy theories and later proven true. Maybe the theories have more bits of truth than most people think...

Conspiracy Theories are only good for laughs before being politely tossed out.

I will admit, they are interesting to read about, even got a few of my own, but certainly not meant to be taken seriously...

My favorite has to be the "chemtrail" theory. Gotta love that one.

I must admit, that one seemed pretty interesting and plausible, until I started reading about the syphls (?) who are mystical beings that take the form of clouds and clear the air of the chemicals. Oh well!

Who thinks conspiracies are made by the Government so that ya'll be thinking about them while they get up to what they want to?

Thats..slyphs, I believe their leader is Tinkerbell Syphls is a "social disease"
The slyphs are kind of a tag on to the whole chem trail thing. If you ignore that part of the "theory" the rest of it is somewhat plausible. Most agree it is a part of the HAARP experiments which is a real, proven program, involving weather modification, and bending of the earths atmosphere, supposedly for missile defense. Then there's a whole 'nother round of "theories" surrounding HAARP itself as well.

My own conspiracy theory, the National Broadcasting Network (NBC) is screwing with the population at large. They are trying to create some form of time warp, to make us think we are standing still, or create mass confusion. It seems every night I go searching for something of value to watch, and there is this show about a talking car, and it's the same episode, every night of the week. What's up with that?

Overall, I agree with mhouses' point of view. We create our own reality, to a certain extent. It's when someone else's reality bleeds over into my space that things get uncomfortable.

Someone pulled the wool over your eyes. If what you write is true then anyone who wanted to commit some kind of atrocity could get away with it. With enough money to hire people to act as distractions and tell a different story, anybody can concoct something heinous and people like you won't know the difference! Nobody asking questions, the media laughing at the mere mention of an alternative to what they're reporting, and voila! you've got crimes galore.

Since lives are at stake, since your tax dollars are at stake, since your mind is at stake, I wouldn't come to your conclusion that they're "certainly not meant to be taken seriously...". The lack of belief in the possibility is the main reason for its continuation. Tricky things, those conspiracy theories.
