I believe in the Kennedu assassination conspiracy because if the bullet came from behind (ie oswald) the presidents brain would have been splattered over th driver and the Texas governor.
The killing shot HAD to come from in front not behind.
The conspiracy of 9/11 I do not believe. Yes it is true that jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel; but there was carpet, and all kinds of furniture in the WTC, and those substances DO burn hot enough to melt steel.
House fires often get up to 1,700 degrees, and 2,100 degrees (if memory serves)is hot enough to melt gold. Steel melts at a lower temperature than gold.

It is easy to see a conspiracy when a complex situation appears. It helps to spread the blame. But not all conspiracy theories are BS. For years there were theories about whether crime was organized. In the 60s the Mafia became known. In the 50s to the 70s there were many theories about the CIA and mind control. The Rockefeller Commission found out about MK-ULTRA, the project that used LSD to try and control peoples minds. Then, of course, there is Watergate. So though some theories are just paranoia there are a few that are based on fact.

No. Normally because they are ridiculous. They take any unexplained part of an official story, or an explanation they don't like, and make the link from that to their own pet theory. If the official explanation isn't proved 100% beyond reasonable doubt that proves a conspiracy theory which in all honesty is proved about 1% if your lucky.
Lack of evidence for the official story becomes evidence for your theory, lack of evidence for your theory becomes evidence of a cover-up!
Not that people have never conspired, but most things called conspiracy theories are so extravagant, and require so many people to be involved they'd be very hard to pull off. Look how incompetent most large government projects are.
For example the poster above, probably heard there are doubts about the planes causing demolition in 9/11. And leaps from that to it being a government plot. Other people leap to blaming the Jews, or whoever. There is hardly ever evidence for a conspiracy theory that isn't simply a problem with the official story.

Just because your paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you.
I believe that 9-11 was orchestrated partially by our own government, that there were explosive devices planted towards the bottom of the towers in addition to the planes that flew into them.

that conspiracy theories are maintained by the government to maintain the illusion of absolute power.

'Operation Northwood'
You should look it up.
To Rev. Two Bears: steel melts at lower temps than Gold!??? Hmm...tell that to a foundry worker (of which I used to be). One can melt gold on a gas ring of a household cooker; try doing that with steel. Tsk, tsk.

my aunt thinks George W. is the anti Christ... though that's just BS. anybody who's read anything about the anti Christ knows he has roman back rounds. not Texan. also Bush is a professing christian, not the most likely suspect for Christs enemy if you ask me.
