Lately I've been spending many a bored hour just dilly-dallying on some crazy conspiracy site, or watching UFO videos on youtube, or exploring something on the internet that piques my interests somewhat. Now concerning the conspiracy theory type sites...
There are 2 forms. A) Pro Conspiracy, who believe anything and everything. B) Anti Conspiracy, who detest any form of conspiracy and try to debunk it.
It's very hard to find any site that is the Middle Ground. It is either one extreme or another. Balance is completely left out, and bias takes hold once more!
Bias sucks, and not in the good $5 kind of way.
The conspiracy loons will latch onto anything that isn't immediately explainable through undisputable evidence. Problem being, in any situation, there will be a million inconsistencies. The anti-conspirer will do the same, in reverse. Anything that will debunk the conspiracy, they will leech to. Even if it is just word-of-mouth information, or something they found on wikipedia. They claim the conspiracy theorists have no basis for most of their arguments, but just because they themselves have more "official" sounding claims, doesn't mean their lack of evidence or basis is any more valid.
Also, the conspiracy theorists just LOVE to shout how the non-conspiracy theorists are being close minded. This irks me. The conspiracy theorists wont bug their ideas in any way,shape or form from what they WANT to believe. They think that the moment they start believing in one conspiracy, they ALL become true, mainly because it is "fun" to think our mundane lives aren't what they seem. This is a form of close-mindedness just on the other end of the scale. I want to kick the conspiracy theorist's AND the anti-conspirer's doors down, and attack their minds with a crow bar, forceing them open enough to at least see their own hypocracy.
They debate something that has no definitive answer either way, and on the INTERNET none the less. Who ever felt like they lost an argument on the internet and admitted it? It's the one place you can get burnt, and equip a magical fire-retardant dressing gown, as you swing your e-peen once more into the forray of cyber-nutfuckery. Being open minded is a privelage, and a gift to those around you. It is one of the more underestimated qualities of humans. Though, I mean this in a good sense and a bad sense. Too much open mindedness tips the scale, and you are just close minded in a different way now.
HOW DO WE FIX THIS MADNESS!?!?!?!?
Search me, but we sure as fuck wont do it on the internet...
