here's a conspiracy for you. the Internet is gradually making society more stupid and paranoid..I wonder if other countries have the same philosophy as we do here in America. "I read it on the internet so it must be true."....you know those ridiculous tabloids that you see at the grocery store?well America has become a giant tabloid ,due to the Internet.

Did you get this on the internet?
 
I think the Internet has a tendency to make people more brave i.e. reactive and unthinking in dishing their pov.
 
This is the most stupidest thing I have ever herd. The Innernet has mad me a better righter.

It certainly can be. It is merely a tool, but like any tool, in the hands of a fool it can become something dangerous and destructive.
 
maybe we should go back to the days before the net, when we only had the tightly controlled corporate controlled news media.
 
I have grown a lot wiser and learned a lot from the internet, you have millions of sources of millions of subjects and info at your finger tips so one can learn a whole lot on the other hand anyone can say anything on the internet and claim it to be facts.
 
Internet is like... the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If we were in paradise, it'd be stupid of us to eat its fruit. But we are in a fallen world, so I think it's a good thing that we have it.

We don't have to be poisoned by the bad things the internet offers. That's really up to us. I mean, real-world crisis is poison in itself.

actually i think people have always been this gullible...the internet has only given them more to be gullible about...

the same thing happened when the printing press was invented...any weirdo could print anything he wanted as long as they could afford it...and they always found lots of suckers ready to accept everything they read...
 
when i 1st got the net, my thoughts was it was a giant unlimited encyclopedia.
since the net, people are writing again, sharing artwork, discussing intellectual ideas. it is a new age of enlightenment for many.
yet on tv and many other places all you hear is all knowledge on the net is lies, fake and whimsy yet pretty much every university on the planet has a webpage on this same internet with access to archives of knowledge and works by the teachers that work there. youtube has limitless lectures by the greatest well respected academics in their fields. and thats the truth of it.
so why is there so much work being done to discredit the knowledge on the net? if you were a corrupt king, would you want your subjects to know you were a scumbag, or would you want them to focus their thoughts on the gladiator fights?
 
When did America become so mentally deficient? Vaccines are evil, Illuminati, big brother, the moon landing was fake, 9 11 was a conspiracy, the earth is flat.. we have become more silly and superstitious than a third world country

i know this is gonna sound silly and idiotic but i think many vaccines are evil, matter of fact i am so crazy i actually believe the Almighty Himself formed me in my mothers womb with a highly sophisticated immune system that doesn't even need man made drugs to heal my body.
did you know if you have a pet squirrel and crack his nuts for him eventually his teeth will become ineffective to crack the nuts and he will not be able to survive on his own. i wonder what happens to our immune system after years of never using it cause we pump our self full of synthetic drugs every time we have a runny nose?
more silly talk i guess . . .

Well if I may give you some advice if these things irritate you then I would suggest turning your eyes and thoughts to God instead
