The key word in that is 'casual'.
The existence of real conspiracies in some situations in no way lends credence to the existence of a conspiracy in any other situation. Each situation must be dealt with on its own terms. Probably more importantly, how likely is the truth of the theory being proposed?
All the choices listed in the OP come from 'real' conspiracy theories. I didn't make any up, exaggerate or distort a single one. By claiming 9/11 was an inside job, you entered the same territory as those conspiracies, yet you have said nothing to dissociate yourself from them. |
you write:
"Each situation must be dealt with on its own terms."
then you write:
"By claiming 9/11 was an inside job, you entered the same territory as those conspiracies."

Which means I (and the majority of people) have considered your theory, consider it flakey, and reject it. |

I don't think that comment is accurate, if that is a big surprise.

Well, I'm not sure what kind of a majority you speak of. I'm just glad Dr. Jones has sent his discovery of thermite chips to be confirmed or rejected by an independent lab.
When the results are announced I'll make sure to make a nice new thread devoted to it.
See you there. |
