Although to be fair, I was responding to what sounding a lot like a conspiracy theory...

CONSPIRACY THEORIST.
Probably not really, but you are begging for it.
Also I mentioned that to be fair, he was offering some very conspiracy theory like speculations. And I didn't call him a nut. Just because he's paranoid doesn't mean we... I mean... they aren't out to get him, you know.![]()
I do not believe that anything is hidden. I do believe in this instance, we are being told the truth.jonesthecurl wrote:Juan, what is the difference between your opinions and those of a real conspiracy theorist?

Certainly. First, permit me to establish some basic definitions.Juan_Bottom wrote:EXPLAIN!
Come now, in front of everyone, how is what I said a conspiracy? All I said was Dems were getting shafted.
Conspiracy theorist is listed only as a derivative of conspiracy theory, meaning it can reasonably be defined as "one who believes in the factual nature of a conspiracy theory."dictionary.com wrote:conspiracy theory
1. a theory that explains an event as being the result of a plot by a covert group or organization; a belief that a particular unexplained event was caused by such a group.
2. the idea that many important political events or economic and social trends are the products of secret plots that are largely unknown to the general public.
Having admitted belief in the factual nature of secret plots (terrorism being a particularly good - or bad - example) which remain largely unknown to the general public, you are an admitted conspiracy theorist. Just because you don't believe in some of the more obviously ridiculous conspiracies out there doesn't mean you're not a conspiracy theorist. (Note: this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Many conspiracy theorists have been right. I'm a conspiracy theorist myself... I think Iran and Russia were/are planning to give Iran the Bomb. You don't have to be defensive about it. But you certainly are a conspiracy theorist.)Juan_Bottom wrote:That does not mean that conspiracies do not exist, or that I do not believe in any. I do believe that American Media IN SOME capacity works for our government. I believe the same of the BBC in England.
I also believe that terrorism is made up to scare people, for votes, for money, for power, for whatever. The Department of Homeland Security has a billion dollar budget, but has never caught a terrorist.
Actually, those are the only conspiracies I really subscribe to right now. But neither has anything to do whith what I was talking about. Nor do I see how they make me a conspiracy theorist.
I was referring to this instance, although (according to Juan, anyway) there are other instances available. For this instance, let's revisit Juan's earlier quote.jonesthecurl wrote:Now, Nikolai, why do you think that Juan's calling attention to the "where you register" thing sounds like a conspiracy? Or are you referring to other instances?
By a secret plot, unknown to the general public? That would make this an unexplained event resulting from a plot by a covert group or organization, yes? Granted, the original comments, if I remember correctly, weren't quite so accusatory... it was all innuendo, which is why I was mostly kidding about Juan being a conspiracy theorist. But given his commentary in this thread... need I really explain further?Juan_Bottom wrote:All I said was Dems were getting shafted.
