There are many conspiracy theories out there, are there any you believe? I am not a paranoid person or anything I just think there are some theories that are very interesting whether true or not. I also believe there are many cases where the truth is way stranger than most people would even like to think, let alone know. What are your thoughts?

Everything is a conspiracy. The only reason your trash gets picked up on a weekly basis is because of bunch of Italian immigrants got together and decided to haul it away for a fee.

The bigger the conspiracy theory, the harder it would be to keep secret.

They are the believers, not the skeptics.

And open oneself to the snarkiness and ridicule that would inevitably ensue?

why do people assume horrible events are conspiracy theories? 9/11, the economic meltdown of 2008, I'm sure there is moar but I'm just to lazy to google search.

Hey man, we faked the moon landing and 9/11 was an inside job. Also, floride is added to our tap water to numb our brains and make us easier to control.

According to political scientist Michael Barkun, the appeal of conspiracism is threefold: First, conspiracy theories claim to explain what mainstream narratives cannot. They appear to make sense out of a world that is otherwise confusing. Second, they do so in an appealingly simple way, by dividing the world sharply between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. They trace all evil back to a single source, the conspirators and their agents. Third, conspiracy theories are often presented as special, secret knowledge unknown or unappreciated by others. For conspiracy theorists, the masses are a brainwashed herd, while the conspiracy theorists in the know can congratulate themselves on penetrating the plotters' deceptions.The list of conspiracy theories is a collection of the most popular unproven theories related but not limited to clandestine government plans, elaborate murder plots, suppression of secret technology and knowledge, and other supposed schemes behind certain political, cultural, and historical events. .

'Conspiracy' and 'fringe' are quite different operations by definition. I'm sorry to say that this means everything you typed is meaningless in relation to the OP. You do understand, don't you? Should you like to dispute this or discuss said subject outside of the kiddy pool... feel free to contact me.
