    Having studied a wide array of evidence I hold no belief that the government, law, medicine nor any of the like is out to get me. But then again I do not have a suspicious nor paranoid way of thought or living

      That's exactly what the reptilians that run the world want you to think!

          Maybe you don't know about Gandhi or MLK, Jr. Nor Stalin and his henchmen. Mao Tse Tung and his henchmen. Oops, I didn't mean to imply Gandhi and MLK were evil. I mentioned them because they struggled against . . . guess what?

              There's a difference between acknowledging that specific conspiracies have existed and having a general outlook on life that everything is a conspiracy. I can acknowledge that, say, Watergate was a criminal conspiracy and not consider myself a conspiracist.

                But lack of evidence of a conspiracy does not in itself prove there's a conspiracy, does it?

                  I don't quite understand why you and others think that I have "a general outlook on life that everything is a conspiracy." Why do people like Sparko refuse to agree that what looked like evidence presented in many posts about the JFK assassination makes a case about who were involved in it? Note I said "were," not "was."

                    First Sparko, then you. Why? I would have said instead that lack of evidence does not prove the nonexistence of a conspiracy. However, generally I do not take any conspiracy seriously if I don't see any substantial evidence for it. I wish I understand why Sparko refuses to take the evidence for the JFK assassination seriously that was presented in many TWeb threads. It's as though it's a matter of life and death with him that we all believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did it, despite how flimsy the Warren Report looked.

                      All the evidence you have used to prove any so called conspiracy has been from quacks. The vaccine stuff you used from Joseph Mercola? Yeah his practice was shut down because he made claims without evidence and it was proven that he charged outrageous prices for cam type medicine much of which is not currently based nor founded in any cam practices. Actual Chiropractors Naturopath's and Herbalists I've worked with personally believe mercola is a fraudulent quack.

                        What the hell is going on? Prove specifically that Mercola's practice was shut down and why (well, maybe that occurred years ago?? but he's back as good as ever). Why is Dr Mercola so popular today?

                            I wasn't referring to you per se; I was just saying that that sort of thing is what constitutes a conspiratorial outlook. You do seem to believe in more conspiracies than most people, though.

                              oh I don't know. Could it be because you mostly just post about conspiracies, like Evil Big Pharma, the JFK assassination, GMO and Monsanto, Vaccinations, etc?
