shakran, I offer you one challenge: Please tell me where I'm misleading people by asking them to prove whether something is true.

On the fact that movies are overseen by historical experts, here's a link: James I. Robertson. And YES I can say without a doubt that these guys know their jobs better than producers do. That's why big-budget films hire them.

On the plausibility of the conspiracy, if it COULD happen, then it's worth finding out if it DID happen. Am I worse off for finding out the truth? And yes, it COULD happen. Just like chemtrails. Sure they're a farce, but it's a scary thought and one worth looking into. I'd rather dispel a hundred crazy sounding conspiracies than write off one that turns out to be true.

On the case of Watergate, that was a conspiracy, but not a conspiracy theory. One is a crime, the other is a fear that the truth is being hidden from the public. You do know how dictionaries offer different definitions for the same word, right?

On the suspiciousness of the victory, I am trying to convince you that a group of amateurs beating a group of professionals is suspicious, but it's not working. Especially after this team lost 10-1 to them before. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it's suspicious. Like Barry Bonds doubling his home run total in one year in middle age--it's not impossible, just suspicious.

Now, the statement about believing in God from the Bible was a low blow, and for that I'm sorry, but I was trying to provide an example of something that the general public regards as fact even though its existence cannot be proven (as far as I can see it).

On what you can post on the internet, the next time you hear some guy say that some guy he knows said he heard it from a distant third cousin twice removed that President Bush is really the female result of a science experiment crossbreeding a chimpanzee with a jackass, you are absolutely free to post it on the internet, especially if you want to verify its validity. However, don't expect to be taken seriously.

shakran, I don't know what your problem is, but I posted a thread on a CONSPIRACY forum to see whether or not something I heard was true. Please do not try to claim that there was anything IMPOSSIBLE about the story I heard. Since you apparently didn't follow my link, you didn't see that the writers of the X-files saw it as plausible enough to include it in their script.

And if you're not a conspiracy theorist, or a conspiracy investigator, why are you spending your time in this forum?

And for the record I'm damn glad the story's untrue!
