Why do people fallow conspiracies without doing research themselves?

Question

Okay, I’m sick of this whole “9/11 is a conspiracy” thing, or at least blaming the U.S. government for it. It seems no one ever researches this matter for themselves, they just blindly believe what some so-called documentary tells them. Now I’m no fan of Bush or republicans (to be honest I hate both parties), but lets be honest with ourselves, if the government wanted to hide this they would have done a much better job. Not to mention the U.S. had nothing to gain from this, and everything to lose.
No, if anyone besides “terrorists” had anything to do with it I believe it would be oil companies. They have gained unbelievable amounts of money from the Middle East conflicts that arose from this. So can we stop blaming the wrong people, and actually try and fix this mess.

P.S. If the U.S. wanted the oil in Iraq, they would have already reestablished it’s oil/drilling infrastructure.

Okay… I think I mentioned I am not conservative…so why the hell do people keep calling me that? You see, this is common of both parties. When they are unable to come up with a convincing argument they simply use labels, as if this will prove their point.
But I am not conservative, nor am I liberal. As I said, I hate both parties. There inability to think outside this box that their parties form are ruining our nation


Also:
People seem to misunderstand what research is. Research does not mean you watch a bunch of documentaries made by others who opinion is biased. One must find these documents themselves, watching the unedited version of tapes, interviewing witnesses yourself. Anything less gives you nothing but a biased view. True these documentaries can peek your interest, but you yourself should do your own research.


P.S. Do we honestly think Bush is smart enough to make such a intricate plan? I know I don’t.

Answer 1

Because sometimes it is much easier to believe in something that is so ridiculous than to face reality.

Answer 2

Your statement is ridiculous. We can't reestablish the oil drilling infrastructure until there is a pro US government installed in that country that control those people.The US had everything to gain from 9-11.THE WAR IN IRAQ! Is that not enough? Ok.THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN! Money makes this country go round and we need their oil.

Answer 3

alright why dont you just research Bush's oil interests. How much has he profited from this? How about Cheneys Haliburton connection, how much has he gained?
It is established that at leaast 9 other countries warned the administration that there was going to be an attack involving airplanes, explain to me then how KNOWN TERRORISTS were allowed onto those planes?
You say they were not known terrorists? Then why were the on watch lists?

Answer 4

AMEN. To answer the question, liberals can't think for themselves they have to follow the lies and talking points of their leaders. If more people did exactly what you stated then there would be a lot more independents like myself that vote more conservatively to moderate and not liberal at all. It is about time someone put my thought into words thank you.

Answer 5

They believe that if they watch loosechange and prisonplanet videos and Michael Moore movies, they have done their research.

Answer 6

These are the same fools who buy that Bridge in Brooklyn .

Answer 7

Ask Bush,he got us into this mess.

I'm taking it you're too conservative to have any use for that fact.

Answer 8

I've done plenty of research. Thanks for totally generalizing, though. It really shows what type of person you are.

Answer 9

They are lazy

Answer 10

Stupid is as stupid does.
