o Roswell aliens
o WTC7 / 9/11
o M. McCann's disappearance
o Moon Landings
o JFK assasination
o AGW
o Princess Diana's death
o Paul McCartney's existence
o Julian Assange's guilt
o NWO
I'm not doing a poll, because I believe they are used by the Government to collect data on our thoughts (plus they give people an excuse not explain their rationale).

Anything to do with the Mcanns' bores me half to death though. Don't think I've ever read or replied to a single Mcann thread on DS.
yes, the infallible sign of a hen witted conspiracy theory is that they accept the most tenuous evidence for their theory as Gospel and disregard the strongest evidence against it as all part of the theory.
Princess Diana theories and 9/11 theories are perhaps the silliest that we see a lot. M McCann ones are the nastiest. I don't really mind ones about giant lizards because no feelings are hurt.
To be fair, I thought that was just one poster!
BLASPHEMY!!!
You said ******!
You shall be stoned to death!:D:D:D
It's usually instigated by one poster, but their threads are always very popular with all sorts of debates going on. Definitely a a thread topic that requires popcorn.
I actually think now the McCanns only have their dislikers to keep them going.
I'm one of those stuck records that thinks they are dodgy and i think they should have been pulled up on child neglect charges for leaving three very young children alone in a foreign country while they went out with friends.
Lets face it....would they do that in the UK?.....so why be so lax abroad.
Do Portuguese hotels not have child minding at an extra cost?
I'd rather pram my kids around at 2 in the morning than leave them on their own....at least i'd know they are with me.
I'm not even a little bit interested in what anybody else thinks of that case, which is why I have never asked anyone about it. It's like how I'm not interested in Jehovah's Witnesses and don't want their beliefs forced upon me either. Sorry, but no thanks.
If you didnt care you wouldnt reply.
If those threads are getting repeated again and again then clearly there are a lot of people feeling the same way.
Actually.....the McCanns are way more in your face than the Jehovahs Witnesses are.
You can shut the door in the JW's face but the McCanns are in the media and in your face constantly.
The book is about to come out which no doubt the gullible will buy.
Next will be the movie.
I would suggest the theory of mollybecks
Bullseye!
*EDIT*
I was browsing the David Icke forums yesterday and there was an interesting thread about the 9/11 attacks where there was some rather heated debate about whether any planes actually crashed into the towers or not.
On the one hand, there were one group of people who who believe that there were no planes and that persons unknown made 3 planes full of passengers vanish, blew up the WTCs then "got at" all the media and witnesses to create the plane-story.
OTOH, some people seem to think that planes were flown into the WTCs but that they were brought down via controlled demolition carried out by persons unknown.
However, for ultimate irony, there were a middle group of "peace-makers" who were saying that it didn't really matter whether the planes were real or not because the important thing was to simply accept that there WAS a conspiracy and speculate on who was responsible.
Talk about ignoring evidence and forming ignorant opinions!
Also, it's worth reitterating your point that a lot of people seem to delight in treating these things as mental excercises while ignoring the fact that people died in these incidents and a lot of CTs (and the discussion thereof) can be disrespectful in the extreme.
Fair comment.
As an atheist myself, I'm often appalled at the level of gleeful mockery aimed at god-botherers around here.
Seems like a good 70% of religious threads are simply designed to antagonise religious people or pick fault with their faith.
It's really no better than schoolyard bullying.
What motivates their agendas ?
