Excuse Me While I Put On My Tin Foil Hat...

What conspiracy theories or craziness do you totally buy into?

 

I totally think LBJ had JFK assassinated.

I think something is going to go down on 9/11/11.

Re: Excuse Me While I Put On My Tin Foil Hat...

  • What's supposed to happen 9/11/11?

    I don't think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or independently when he killed JFK, but I don't believe LBJ was behind it either.

  • None that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm pretty far from a conspiracy theorist.

  • The Bachelor/Bachelorette (and 95% of the rest of "reality" TV) is 1,000% staged by producers. MWAHAHA!

    That's not a conspiracy theory, more like your idea of a cruel, cruel joke.

    Apparently Al Qaeda had plans for the 10 year anniversary that the were found when Osama Bin Laden was killed.

    I think they still have something up their sleeve.

    Not a joke. Just the truth.
  • Is the fact that Al Qaeda wants to kill us all really a conspiracy theory? (no sarcasm)

    I think there could totally be lake monsters.

    And for the love of my blood pressure.... even if you believe there is a cure for cancer and I just go to work and do crosswords all day, please don't tell me. I don't think I can handle that today.

  • oh, and I think JFK was the mob.

    Aaaand reality tv is TOTALLY scripted.

    Well, at this point, I'd say that an attack on the 10-year anniversary is just a theory. I think we're naive to think they aren't plotting something. Whether or not they actually do it is another story.

    Granted, it seems as though pretty much everything would have to have been in place a while ago to successfully pull off anything major, right? RIGHT?!

    I'm just paranoid because we fly back to the US on 9/12. I'm convinced we'll be stuck in London because some shiz is going to go down on US soil.

    On that note... These London riots are freaking me the fuuk out.

    (yes, I'm aware that I sound like a nutter)

    DH's aunt works in cancer research, I believe you're working and not playing Sudoko all day.

    I choose not to believe in extraterrestrial life b/c it scares the shiz out of me. Does that count?

  • I think the Paul McCartney one makes some pretty interesting arguments, but there aren't any conspiracy theories that I think I'm really convinced on.

  • I think mcdonalds makes their straws wider so we drink faster and get more refills. That's also why they put so much ice in your cup. This helps them in no way, but I still think it's some kind of conspiracy. Stick out tongue

  • The ice thing IDK about but the straw thing isn't a conspiracy - McDonald's straws ARE wider then others. Here's the conspiracy - they make them wider so we all drink more soda (more HFCS) which makes us more addicted to sugar/junk so we can't fortheloveofgod give up McD's and keep coming back thanks to our HFCS addiction.
  • Actually, McD's has wider straws these days because they conducted focus groups about Jack-in-the-Box straws that were wider like that and people preferred them to the original McD's narrow straws.

    The ice theory has been debunked as most McD's now allow you to self-serve your own sodas.

  • Wow, there are some crazy theories in that list!

    I can't say that I believe in any, but I just usually don't give much attention to stuff like that. 

    On another note, I totally believe in the paranormal, but not like monsters and the grim reaper type. I mean ghosts of the dead and angels/demons, etc.

  • I was just joking, but that is interesting to know. I always go through the drive through and I have to ask for light ice. Never fails that I still end up with more ice than coke.
