Well, that's their loss, isn't it?  If you have verified information which supports your assertions, and they refuse to consider said data because of the topic, then they are not utilizing critical thinking.

For the sake of argument say they are the same. You are saying that it happened 30 years ago therefore this proves it is happening now.


NO i'm not.  Where have I said that?

I said it could be happening now and history proves that we should not dismiss the idea as insane which is what most people do.

"Chem trails are real," followed by a link, would appear to indicate that you believe the link supports your claim.

Its especially used by the so called "debunkers" and self proclaimed "critical thinkers" that actually haven't thought very much at all.


Sometimes it's easier to function by means of induction, an Aristotlean artifact, than to critically examine every new case.  That doesn't seem too surprising.  The thing that interests me is the predilection some have for new and eccentric explanations.  I often find, and I am in no way maligning anyone that posts here, it coincides with a psychology that wants to be the bearer of some esoteric truth, i.e. the inner circle of an inner circle.  :ooo:

What often happens, in the case of bearers of new news clashing with debunkers, is a hate fest and hurt feelings.  Why participate in such things?  For the life of me I can't understand it.

Conspiracies do happen.  In fact, many people have been sent to prison on conspiracy charges.  In some sense, conspiracies can happen whenever two or more wealthy and/or powerful people get together in private.  Simply by the nature of their powerful positions, anything they agree to can be considered a conspiracy.  Even government conspiracies happen.  MKULTRA is a well-known example.  In a sense, the CIA is inherently conspiratorial, as it's their job to keep secrets.

However, when determining whether or not a conspiracy is going on, we need to look at several factors.  How many people are involved?  The more people there are, the more likely someone will spill the beans.  How complex is the conspiracy?  The more complicated, the greater the chance that something will go wrong.  Is there a simpler explanation?  Occam's Razor says we shouldn't posit unnecessary variables.

Hey, uh... isn't that what a conspiracy is? A plan?

1: the act of conspiring together 2 a: an agreement among conspirators b: a group of conspirators

The problem is that if you do the math, you will find a very large portion of the population is willing and able to lie cheat and steal.  An individual shouldn't take anyones word as fact,  Research everything yourself. There are levels of deceit on every side, and when something is hidden well nobody finds out.  Just remember; if any of these "conspiracy nuts" were ever right, they may possibly be acting a little nuts from the experience.  I don't believe in any of the popular TV theories, but I keep my ears open.  98% of these myths, legends,lies ,gossip, theories, are just ridiculous fabrications. But beware, society is NOT getting more honest.

It was a hypothetical scenario that was canceled just before it reached the conspiracy stage.
