The media has been wide-unfold to lie in the previous. confident a large variety of conspiracies are enormously... idiotic. yet some certainly furnish info and get you thinking. you are able to no longer continuously have confidence what you notice on television. human beings like doing their very own learn and offering their very own techniques in keeping with what they discovered. maximum are whack, yet there are some that certainly get you thinking. merely how that guy without legs recognized to be effective even however he lost the two legs. you will anticipate to him to be mild white and bleeding to dying. Or how the meant sufferer nonetheless had his backpack on after the blast even however the media comments he dropped it with bombs. have you ever seen that image of a guy in a black jacket with khaki pants carrying a great black backpack until eventually now the blast? properly there's a image after the blast the place the very comparable guy is not any longer carrying the huge black backpack. no longer asserting any of it particularly is authentic, yet from an info stand element, it appears that evidently to be. you are able to no longer have confidence even though is shown on television anymore.

Believe in what is the truth and do not be convince with theories that had no evidence. If the issue is vague, search for the truth and do not rely on the data of conspirators.

you can give some serious thought, or be entertained by them. SOme pose some very valid questions however, many of the 9/11 theories leave many questions that should be adressed.

The biggest point as I see it is this. It gives one who already has a negative opinion of another person (usually one in power) yet more validity to their viewpoint. If they really haven't got any hard evidential reason for this hatred or dislike, this sort of silliness will, in their mind, cement their opinion.

finally you see clearly!
but yes, conspiracy theories, like any good lie (santa claus, elves, eskimos) serve only so people can ask pointless questions like "What is the point of conspiracy theories?"
sorry, but the only false conspiracy theory you mentioned was the JFK one: everyone knows he died of a self-inflicted gun wound, just like the tooth fairy...

Have another drink, stop watching so much TV, and stop worrying.
Conspiracy Theorists are just paranoid people with really imaginative conspiracy theories!

these things are only believed by people who see themselves as failures. ironically, they are also narcissists. so they need an outside explanation to account for their circumstance. in a nut shell, it makes them feel better.
