If you knew that the world is going to blow up or something like that.

Would you ever tell anyone about it?

No offcourse you wouldn't, because:

1. Almost everyone would look at you, as you were a moron.

2. how many could be safed if you know that all mankind will be killed in this horrible diseaster or whatever.
Let say the government believed you and the event will happen in about 2 weeks from now. what could they do about it.

If those nuts are right, who's left to be told to "See, I knew it all along" anyway?

And the conspiracy/Nostradamus prediction/bigfoot/UFO/Knights Templar/etc channel, otherwise known jokingly as the "History Channel" is doing it's part to promote the crap more than any other promotion device that these crackpots use.

I really miss the History Channel actually showing stuff about history.

Many of us have made remarks against those "type" of people but how many makes remark against another believer, but is for/believes in another conspiracy???

Let me give you an example

On a danish fora we had a thread about this 9/11. One of the member made remarks against an another member.
A few month later, were discussing the danish oil adventure in the north sea and about the trade, the dane did with norway and here he was a very strong believer in another conspiray.

So you see, we all have believes in some kind of conspiracy.

I think the History Channel and their ilk simply discovered what the tabloids have long known. People don't want reality or education. They want spectacle and sensation. C'mon...didn't you always suspect Cheney was a robot?

2013, get here already, so the fringe "scientists" and balloon boy losers can move the doomsday goalposts to 20xx or whatever...

Y2K was the biggest economic scam ever... So many have profited from this bull.

I know at that time I worked for a lucrative business.

Y2K was a cash cow...
