My son is a conspiracy nut and it's annoying!

im kinda sure most conspiracies like the ones yall mentioned is bullshit

they distract attention from real conspiracies

it almost feels like a conspiracy

What if Obama works for the government!

They're not conspiracy theories if they're true! You think you know the whole truth? Think again!

Just keep believing your Government's lies. Why would they ever lie to you, right?

He's probably a fag.

Depends on what it is. Some theories I believe are true or could be true, and others are way off. I can't dislike conspiracy theorists because they question things and get you to think, which is what people should be doing more of. We should learn to be critical thinkers rather than simply believing what they want us to.

Go to hell, father! You never support me!

I can't understand how someone can be so mentally twisted that they are able to ignore logic and common sense the end result being they believe in these THEORIES.

But what if he's right?!

What is the question? Is it normal he's a conspiracy nut or that you're annoyed by it?

Get some of your friends to throw a bag over his head and transport him to a field somewhere and tell him that he must cease and desist or else! Then leave him there to walk home.
At least then the conspiracy he is thinking about would be real. lol

Anybody who doesn't think our government is capable and willing to do bad things to us has their head in the sand. How about giving smallpox infected blankets to the Indians, or the Tuskeegee experiment. FEMA camps really exist at physical locations that in many cases you can drive past close enough to see. What are they saving them for? Why didn't they use them during hurricane Katrina which should have been considered a national emergency, instead if housing people in a stadium? When Sarah Palin was running for VP a video circulated where she gave a commencement speach telling the students that in the "time of trouble" Alaska would be a refuge for people fleeing the troubles referred to by fundamentalist Christians in regards to Revelations prophecies. She didn't tell the students that Alaska which has one of the lowest populations also has the largest capacity FEMA camp in the nation. What for? The people in Nazi Germany didn't want to believe the rumors/conspiracy theories they were hearing either. Don't think that they had a monopoly on evil. That kind of evil can happen anywhere.

Some of them grow out of it. I used to believe in those conspiracy theories as well, when I was younger. I think the political and cultural climate of America (I'm assuming you're from the US) is particularly conducive to people developing belief in these kinds of conspiracies, especially if the person lives in a location where fundamentalist Christianity with its emphasis on a literal Revelation-style apocalypse is prominent. The educational level of our country's citizens and the crap that passes for news in this country probably also have an effect.

Conspiracy theories are for simple minded people. Explain that the world is more complicated than his ability to comprehend it.
