My ex was a great one for conspiracies so mabe I am biased. He considered taking me to seea crop circle a hot date.
He was convinced that the aliens were going to take over the earth.
Also there are a lot of medical conspiarcies. Mabe teh goverment DO release diseases into the environment in order to make money for drugs.
Oh yes and the world is going to end in 2012!

Mabe so-BUT- I really don't want to know!

It's just all a bit paranoid for my liking!

PSM, you have my sympathy... did we go out with the same lame fella?

Most boring topics of conversation ever:

  • How the Illuminati (secret society) control America / the world.

  • World Trade Towers - 9/11 conspiracy theories.

  • Anything to do with UFOs, aliens and the time he say something blurry and suspicious in East Anglia!

  • The moon landing being faked in a TV studio. (Look, its obvious, see that shadow? etc etc)

  • JFK and other assassinations.

Oh dear oh dear...

mumbobumbo · 29/01/2010 09:52

tsk... how could I forget... anything to do with the Knight's frikkin' Templars?

GAH!

Diana was assassinated by MI6 and Prince Philip. I know it's true because I read about it in on the internet and there was a documentary on a satellite TV channel.

Hassled · 29/01/2010 09:57

I think this thread is a conspiracy, and that Prince Philip is behind it.

poshsinglemum was last spotted running away from a grassy knoll in Dallas.

You all know that 'they' are reading this thread and pumping invisible poison through the computer ? When you are overcome by the fumes, they send a man around to take your blood (he'll leave a fiver on the side) then he'll stick a camera up your bum and tell the government you've got nits up there. So they'll pay the drug companies £40000000 billion to make a new anti bum nit drug and make sure it's all printed in the daily wail Oh and Elvis actually IS head of Glaxo ?

I wonder if the end of the world in 2012 will have anything to do with Boris Johnson and the Olympics? This is my conspiracy theory - Boris will forget to switch off the Olympic torch properly, or some such, and it will continue to burn, and then something else will happen, and the whole world will end.
Obviously this theory needs some work.

My dear mother LOVES conspiracy theories, and is all convinced that the EU is going to cause the world to end, or that Big Business is taking over (I work for a large corporation, and know lots of other people who do as well; they're so completely disorganised - five departments to set up one desk - that there's no way they're running things).

This thread is providing me with much-needed laughs on a grey, manky, winter morning.

cyteen · 29/01/2010 11:34

The thing that does my head in about conspiracy theories is that they seem to require such a lot of hard work on the part of the believer. All that time spent reading badly-spelled documents and piecing together Youtube clips, not to mention the endless circular self-defeating arguments on message boards across the web. It must be knackering.

SerenityNowAKABleh · 29/01/2010 12:06

Have you seen the South Park episode where Cartman proves that Kyle was responsible for 9/11? HILARIOUS.

This one.

Tamarto · 29/01/2010 12:08

Don't forget the fact that the royale family are really giant lizards in disguise!

Tamarto · 29/01/2010 12:09

pmsl not the royale family although that could explain all Jims farting.

The Royal family is what i meant.

50ftQueenie · 29/01/2010 12:18

Bum-nit infestation?! I'd better go out and buy all the milk and bread in Tescos just in case......

ILovePlayingDarts · 29/01/2010 12:18

And don't forget that the evidence is never allowed to get in the way of a good conspiracy theory..........

I like reading about these theories, and in particular reading the evidence that DISPROVES the theories!

lolapoppins · 29/01/2010 12:20

You are not looking at the right ones!

Google 'Faul McCartney' or 'Paul is dead'.

Will keep you busy for months.

Undertone · 29/01/2010 13:05

I think I go too far in the other direction. I have absolutely NO paranoia at all that The Man is out to get me, and therefore I'm probably pitifully naive.

F'rinstance I was genuinely bewildered that my friend is convinced there was a connection between Labour encouraging everyone who could hold a pen to go to university and the subsequent dizzying hike in tuition fees...
