*shock*

The sheer ridiculousness of these statements make me weep for the future. No wonder incompetent fools get elected off one word slogans and oratorical skill rather than intelligence and foresight.

#shock#

Scarlet posts something that has nothing to do with the thread.

#thinks its because I used the name General Booboo# ;)

So Scarlet. Are you gonna enlighten me with which statements are 'sheer ridiculous'?

I'm also guessing your a Brit as you brought the elections into it.

Well said Scarlet. I second the notion that some of the things posted here are absolute ridiculousness. Especially the statements about 9-11.

Actually Scarlet, the part about our weapons, guns rifles, ammunition, tanks, etc being lined with depleted Uranuim is indeed true, this was highlighted on the military channel. The reason is so that we don't leave weapons lost in the enemy hands and it would adversely affect them if they held on to said weapon for a prolonged amount of time for study of our weapons tech. Not sure which part you think is ridiculous.

No, I'm fully aware of the use of depleted uranium. I believe, however, I heard that it was used in the bullets for the increased penetration ability. Maybe it's both or I am wrong? In either case this isn't what I take issue with. There's a good reason for doing it in either case.

I'm an American, by the way. I like freedom, justice, and the American way!

The ridiculous part is:
New World Order
hold-out countries
tyrant state of Israel
9/11 being supported by the US government
RFID chip conspiracy

My point is that conspiracy theory stuff like that is what gets incompetent morons in ANY country elected, although Obama happens to be the moron of choice here. When the populace fails to approach things rationally, they fail to vote for capable people. This is the weakness of democracy. Consider which statement is more far-fetched:
1. We were attacked by radical Islamic terrorists that have

The ridiculous part is:

Oh *wake UP! brother* It's all real!

You forgot the North American Union, and the Amero Currency? <------REAL (Same as the Euro and European Union) Not many thought that was going to happen either, even as the docs were being drawn up)

What is ridiculous is how no one is paying attention.

*CONSPIRACY!!!!!*

Scarlet has been compromised!!

I look at everything and see one thing: self-interested groups acting out of self-interest.

Business interests pushing forward pro-business agendas. Regional economic cooperation is no indicator of deep NWO conspiratorial plots only of groups interested in reducing barriers to trade. (Personally, I'm a protectionist though.)
National interests pushing forward national agendas. Israelis would naturally want to protect their homeland, just as Palestinians would. Naturally, the US government would vest its interest in the democratic, friendly, Western nation over the ones that would destroy the entire West if possible.
Religious interests pushing forward religious agendas. Honestly, is it so hard to believe that Islamic extremists were capable of pulling of a large terrorist attack when we had our guard down? Assuming the government was responsible for 9/11 needs a degree of competence and secrecy that the US government has NEVER

I have seen alot of programs about 9/11. But the only thing that struck me as being strange was that apparently alot of Jews didn't show up for work at the WTC that day. My information might be wrong, but its something I've heard from different sources.

I've just dug this out:

New York City has 11 letters.
Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
'George W. Bush' has 11 letters
New York is the State # 11
The first plane crushing against the Twin Towers was flight #11
Flight # 11 was carrying 92 passengers Adding this number gives us: 9+2=11
Flight # 77 who also hit the towers, was carrying 65 passengers Adding this: 6+5=11
The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11. Adding this: 9+1+1=11
The date is equal to the emergency number 911. Adding this: 9+1+1=11
The total number of victims inside the planes w

Scarlet is making sense, that means she is apart of the cover-up from Illuminati!

Nix, the problem with your thought process is that you can take any event that ever happened in the world and then translate any number of facts about that event to make it seem like a conspiracy.

Your information isn't so much "wrong" as you said, its just that it is twisted by people who have a need to either
A-need to have an explanation for everything that happens in the world
B-have a need to believe there is always a larger mechanism at work that is calling all the shots. e.g. a mass conspiracy.

For example, your statement that "Jews didn't show up for work on 9/11"? Think about the actual details here for a moment. Do you really think that all Jews in NYC were notified in advance to not show up for work for a certain day? Now, I have no idea how many Jews actually worked in the WTC, however it seems a little far fetched that probably hundreds of people were called and told to not show up for wor
