    I think conspiracy theories can be fun to read about, but I never become a serious believer or anything. The usual problem is that most large-scale conspiracies are not very feasible. Take the classic "The Lunar Landing was Faked" theory. The first problem one encounters when considering that theory is that in order to really hush something like that up, it would require several hundred thousand people to be collaborators who would never mention it. There were so many people involved in the project that it would be nearly impossible to shut them all up, and even if it were, the resources required to bribe/monitor them all to make sure they never tell, would be ridiculous. Might as well just admit it was faked than spend all that money. Furthermore, since the gov administration from that era are all either dead or retired, there's no reason why current Presidents/Cabinets would need to lie about it. It wouldn't be their shame if the truth got out.

    I'm more likely to seriously consider smaller theories, like the assassination of JFK. At least those theories are somewhat feasible, but even then, they have their issues.

    Finally, what's the point of obsessing about them? The average person can do nothing to get the truth out if they really do find evidence, nor would most people believe you.

    If the Illuminati are real (which I believe SOME sort of group exists to a point), they would prefer to let people think it is total fiction. Better to let some person live and rant about conspiracies than to stage an elaborate murder/cover-up and lend credence to the idea.

    If anybody truly thinks it's Jews or gays only though, that's pretty funny. I've known tons of Jews and gays, and neither group seems very suited to secretly ruling the world on average.

    Michelle bachmann is a conspiracy by a subhuman specices of neathderthals who live frozen in ice in the neander valley in western germany; they want to destabilize the homosapian society so they can ride in on their wholly mamouths, and club our brains in for not having pronounced eyebrow ridges... michelle bachmann had hers removed, along with half her neanderthal brain.

    New World Order (conspiracy)
    This conspiracy theory states that a group of international elites controls and manipulates governments, industry, and media organizations worldwide. The primary tool they use to dominate nations is the system of central banking. They are said to have funded and in some cases caused most of the major wars of the last 200 years, carry out false flag attacks to manipulate populations into supporting them, and to have a grip on the world economy, deliberately causing inflation and depressions at will. Operatives working for the New World Order are said to be placed in high positions in government and industry. The people behind the New World Order are thought to be international bankers, in particular the owners of the private banks in the Federal Reserve System and other central banks, and members of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group.[1] The New World Order is also said to control supranational and global organizations such as the European Union, United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the proposed North American Union. The term gained popularity following its use in the early 1990s by President George H. W. Bush when he referred to his "dream of a New World Order" in his speech to the United States Congress on September 11, 1990.
    Claimed motivations behind the New World Order conspiracy vary but a commonly suggested end goal for the conspiracy is the creation of a one-world government through which the conspirators would exert absolute dominance over the Earth and eliminate all sources of dissent.
    The concept of this shadow government predates 1990; it is accused of being the same group of people who, among other things, created the Federal Reserve Act (1913), supported the Bolshevik Revolution (1917), and supported the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, all for their own agenda.[2] The World Bank and national central banks are said to be the tools of the New World Order; war generates massive profits for central banks because government spending (hence borrowing at interest from the central banks) increases dramatically in times of war and distress.[3] Many conspiracy theorists believe that Denver International Airport is the western U.S. headquarters of the New World Order, and a massive underground base and city is believed to exist underneath the airport. Reasons for this include the airport's unusually large size (larger than some major cities), distance from the Denver, Colorado city center, the set of environmentally themed murals by artist Leo Tanguma depicting burning cities, gas-mask wearing soldiers and girls in coffins, and the capstone of the Great Hall which includes Masonic symbols and strange writing.[4] It is claimed that secret fleets of black helicopters are ready to take control when the New World Order is set up.
    [edit]Federal Reserve System
    The New World Order is said to control the wealth of nations through central banks, via the issuance of currency. The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States, though not a part of the government (with a significant share of private control and interests[5]), created in 1913. There is a theory that the Federal Reserve System is designed to transfer wealth from the poor and middle classes of the United States to the international bankers of the New World Order.

    Did Kurt Cobain really kill himself, or did Courtney Love kill him/pay someone to kill him?

    Conspiracy theories are an excellent way to find out who to avoid.
    (No offence meant to people who believe them.. well, maybe a little offence :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)
