Both of you are just using random events about people manipulating the masses for an agenda. That happens everywhere.

But it seems you choose an article and use it to proof all conspiracy theories are true, extrapolating it to all other theories. That is a very bad argument.

And you are acting like I said people never do bad things. There will always be opportunistic people trying to take advantage. Leaders have done that since the age of times with religion, patriotism,etc to push their agendas.

You seem to label events as conspiracies too freely. War tactics to bring down morale, propaganda, etc are not what I was considering a conspiracy.

I was mainly talking about the ones out there. Do you think you were mercury poisoned on purpose? You think the government did 9/11?

The government intentionally causing 9/11 would be a conspiracy. Opportunistic politicians using the tragedy (while not having caused it) to unite the country and go to war and secure a position in the middle east with good energy source would just be a country acting for its interests.

I mean if you are going to post examples of people manipulating others for personal gain this forum would run out of bandwidth and the server would not have enough disk space for the massive text spam.
