Please give an example of a conspiracy theory, either on the right or left or somewhere in between that you subscribe to. Please do not make something up. I want you to have a genuinely held conviction that the conspiracy theory you believe in is true.

Are you sitting there right now secretly dreaming up ways to become fabulously wealthy, legally of course, with enough wealth to buy controling interest in Yahoo! just so you can fire every employee, sell off all of the equipment as scrap and then turn the home office into a haven for drug addicts and derelicts? Or would you prefer to use that space, which would be your space, by the way, and you could legally call it "my space," into a halfway house for people who were finishing their recovery after being kidnapped by some freak they met in a Yahoo! chatroom?

Just want stats or any links to studies that were done. I read in another question that the total gay population is 10% but I would like to know specifically a different between male and females. Any relevant information would be appreciated.

I think I'm just paranoid, but recently at my friends house I went a bit crazy and started to organize and straighten everything. Some things on her shelf didn't look "balanced" and it really annoyed me. When she stopped me from organizing stuff I got really mad. This has only happened once, but I have had a growing tendency to be very annoyed by assymetry and things like that. I don't think I have OCD, but just making sure.

this is a two part question. my girlfriend (who i'm absolutely crazy about) is embarassed and/or uncomfortable about having sex while on her period. i don't mind sexual activity during this time, because her period is what makes her a woman in the first place. while i'm ok with intercourse, however, i don't want to perform oral sex on her during this time. my questions are 1) how do i make her feel comfortable enough to have standard (yet spectacular) sexual intercourse during "that time of the month", and 2) if she becomes comfortable enough with that to requests oral sex, how do i tell her that i'm not comfortable with that without sounding like a selfish prick (no pun intended)?

I think humans are equal to other life (since everything has its own purpose in the ecosystem).

I think we're still in the process of developing to our highest potential and we're in something like the 'rebellious teen' years at this point. We're doing lots of harm, but IF we can make it through without killing each other off (along with some other species), humanity will be truly amazing -- a bright light instead of a dark cloud of doom.

I see the potential of humanity, and want to believe we're capable of reaching it.

"What is a better hair color?" or "Who's cuter?" or geez, the list is endless. This could be a much more useful forum if the teenyboppers had their OWN SEPARATE forum to ask the ridiculous questions with irrelevant answers.

I used to shoplift.... but lost interest when I gave up being a 'rebel.' That was a lifetime ago -- just curious to see what others have done.

I am interested in talking with/or getting personal experiences from anyone who has had experience at the Catalina Mountain School for boys (parents, youth, staff). I am specifically interested in the use of the special control units (solitary confinement). I am just gathering information now, and am looking at which youth are in confinment and how they are treated; is here a grievance process for complaints? How is mental health issues/suicide prevention addressed? What types of offenses do the boys that are confined typically have? (Nonviolent?) How do the staff treat the boys/boys treat the staff? Are there any human rights violations that take place?

This is merely a hypothetical question. Feel free to substitute another person in there if you want to. Please no stupid answers just to get points. Personally, I don't think it could be done, but I am interested in what others out there have to say. And if you do substitute another person, please let me know who and why.

I know if the opposite sex does it, it could mean attraction. But what if someone of the same sex does it? I think it's kinda rude...
