Shouldn't this be moved to another forum? It certainly doesn't belong here.
Seems appropriate to me. Not all conspiracy theories are wrong, after all. So, ken, do you see why I'm suspicious when the government says it is taking more power for the good of 'everyone'?

^^Yes Arthur, that's the point. Even if this belongs in Conspiracy Theories (although I would argue that it should really go in Politics and Law), it certainly doesn't belong in "The Stupidest thing a Conspiracy nut has ever said to you"........because even if these particular conspiracy theorists are wrong, their theory is still quite mundane, and plausible......not stupid.

Honestly, the reason I put it here was because I had seen this referenced on Facebook as a "nutball conspiracy theory," or somesuch. I do accept your reasoning and think you might be right, that it belongs elsewhere.

The Stupidest thing a Conspiracy nut has ever said to you
If the rich people don't pay taxes, they'll raise wages and hire people.
Honestly, in the face of decades of evidence, one must be a nut to believe this.
If they have to pay more taxes, their feelings will be hurt and they'll keep all the money to themselves or go somewhere else where people will be nicer to them.

There are no additional, claims, laws, commandments, rules, doctrines, presuppositions, stand alone ideologies, dogmas, and/or faith based beliefs required by or inevitably derived from atheism.

NATO is bombing Libya because the NWO/Illuminati wants to get rid of Kadhafi!
So these people are seriously saying that KADHAFI; this: This is supposed to be the face of NWO resistance? A brutal, repressive dictator with a horrible sense of fashion? You know, this makes the illuminati/NWO seem TEMPTING and almost makes me wish they're real. I'd join them.
Not quite sure if this belongs here or not, but this isn't the first time I've heard it.
Dog food is made by people who add vegetable products like cornmeal and fruit stuff to cost less and keep dogs weaker.
The reason that I struggle with where to put this is that dogs aren't carnivores in the strict sense, they are specialised omnivores. Cats are carnivores. When dog people start talking as if their companions are cats, it betrays either an ignorance or a conspiracy theory...
You decide.

IMO you're right in essence, but, perhaps, over-thinking the issue.

i dont know how i stumbled across it, but i have good news for you all (i think). the war between the andromeda council and the orion greys/draco reptilians has been won.
its really scarey that this andromena council shit is getting hundreds of thousands of hits for some videos.
I got about 5 minutes into that looked at the length of the video and thought sod that . Also on the subject of reincarnation one thing about every single claim to a past life ive heard strikes me as odd, they always seem to say they were a egyption princess or part of some rulers retinue or some such. You never hear one say "I was a medieval english peasant, lived a normal life, nothing massively interesting happened"

I've read people who think that the towers were actually demolished in secret months in advance and replaced by hologrammic projections. Even one that thinks that the towers never existed. With claims like that Poes law becomes very relevant I think.

9/11 morons (I propose that as the new name for 'truthers') are one of the few groups of people who anger me to the point that I want to kick them in the genitals.

It is incredible isn't it, this guy I know is one of those really conspiracy nuts who sits on the internet all day and reads complete garbage.
The biggest argument I had with him is when he suggested that the KKK are no longer a grotesque, evil, racist organisation but simply want to be left alone so they can live normal lives.
