    no, this aint ether. people who believe conspiracy theories cannot be convinced they are wrong, except by there own revelations. if anything, overwhelming proof only strengthens their belief regardless of how nonsensical it is, because they can easily say that this is a forgery or a fake, which in their mind proves that they were right all along. if someone wants to believe something, all the facts and proof in the world would not convince them otherwise.

    No, they will just say it is faked, made after he became president, or is a different Barack Hussein Obama. They know he's an American citizen, just doing what every racist group does, they find something at first that isnt there, start rallies and try to convert people using this, when proof comes out it isnt what they thought, they then argue its faked or staged and by that time they have a good following who will believe its fake. The only way to change a persons mind on another race is to have them spend time with people of another race. These tea party people only hang with whites, they believe all negativity hyped at blacks because they havent had the oppurtunity to judge for themselves, the only way they change their mind is when they spend time with black people in something other than VS rally, or they die. The second of which is best suited for them.

    "9/11 was an inside job"

    "The moon landing was faked"

    -Anything involving Illuminati or Freemasons-

    "Obama wasn't born in America"


    Try using facts or evidence to explain reality to these psychos. It doesn't work. Conspiracy theorists don't think, they're just zombies who refuse to accept that their insane beliefs are fiction.

    Not really. Poster makes a faulty premise. People who believe in theories are not wrong all the time.

    Some theories have been proven to be true. It is not a given that just because someone labels something as a conspiracy theory it means it is not valid.

    when i say conspiracy theories, i mean a bunch of convoluted ? pieced together by a bunch of paranoid internet detective potheads. yeah some conspiracies have been proven true, but then there is the ? in which people abandon reason and stubbornly stick to an argument regardless of how backwards it may be.

    the issue, though, is whether or not they can be convinced otherwise. actually, i think the OP was going off the presumption of people who believe in demonstrably ridiculous conspiracy theories (like the Obama birth certificate one) being the "people who believe conspiracy theories" in question. what can you do to convince THAT guy that his theory is false?

    He should have said "Birthers" instead, but it's still worth noting that only 41% of Tea Partiers believe Obama was born in the US.

    As I already stated, he should have said "Birthers" instead of "Tea Partiers". I was just sharing the poll. So far I don't see anyone challenging you about the platform.
