Regarding books, the answer is quite obvious, looks who's profiting from the sales and evaluate from there. What about video games, tv shows, movies, talk shows? Example: Games - MGS uses PMC. Tv show - Prison break uses the Company. Talk show or pod cast uses the NWO or Zionists. Is there any in common or are there all delusional?

This thread is entirely for the discussion of the use of them in popular culture etc. So consider this a test of if we can have a sensible discussion on this matter.

What ifs aren't really a good thing to get caught up on.

And mostly related, I think allot of people cling to these theories, at least in the case of say 9/11, I think it has allot to do for a search of meaning in disasters, when you look at the lead up it seems so obvious and like a s* show that no one stopped it. As one person put it, it's easier to believe the powerful government did it than to think that two schmucks with box cutters could hijack a couple planes and cause one of the most traumatizing events in American history. Same applies to books, even more so that you have to entertain am audience, unless you're deliberately trying to subvert something or talk any terrorism, you need to look for a deeper reason than that seeming randomness. There needs to be a plot and a string of events and something to fight against and so on. Edited by Tinny**, Aug 26 2016, 12:35 PM.

Internet Explorer Favourite Manga Don't read manga	I think a prime example of an existing conspiracy theory is The Berenstain Bears/Berenstein Bears books. Everyone remembers it being Berenstein, but all the books are Berenstain. Anyway conspiracy theories are a way to explain things that to the individual creating the theory have no other rational way of explaining the event(s) that have happened or are projected to happen. It is kind of hard to buy the major news outlets take on things, considering they're all given narratives by the government, and a few of them have won lawsuits allowing them to continue lying to their viewers (I'm looking at you, Fox news and CNN).

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	People also seem to like 'twists'. Movie twists generally get positive reactions from viewers, so it makes sense that people would look for twists in real life events. Sticking with the movie/TV show analogy, people also seem to like trying to figure out the plot themselves before it happens, so again, makes sense that people would like to figure out a conspiracy theory themselves and be 'right' when everyone else was wrong.

I kind of agree with you, I'm asking because i have MSg4 bluray special features, Hideo Kojima said he did research which led him to using the PMC in his games.

This sums it up nicely. Humans by nature are inquisitive. We always seek questions to the what ifs of life. If we can question the validity of the government and it's actions regarding 9/11, as example, this opens a door of inquisition that we as humans thrive to understand. It is in our blood to ask questions, which is how we have transcended technologically over the years.

Favourite Manga dat boi	I'm going to ask a question, and if it's against the rules you can just delete my post. I don't want to get this thread closed down, but I also don't want to remain ignorant. Why is the discussion of conspiracy theories prohibited on this forum? I've never heard of that being a rule, and it seems a bit like you're cracking down on freedom of speech and open discussion with this one. Then again, I really don't know much about conspiracy theories, nor do I particularly enjoy discussing them. Does it have to do with members getting too heated and ridiculous when it comes to conspiracy theories, or it some personal vendetta against the idea of them? Again, totally disregard and delete this post if I've crossed the line or something.
