Are we being f**ked?

We are not living in a an action movie, real life is much simpler...

I think real life is much more complicated than an action movie..

I was referring to the over-the-top, ridiculous plots.

summary of film: bullshit
conspiracy theories: nutcases bullshit (who have too much time)

On the other hand, I saw Michael Moore's documentary "Sicko" yesterday, good film, and guess what, it's based on actual FACTS! (maybe he paints the french health care a little too rosy, but it's true that we frenchies complain easily..)

What I'm trying to say is... Instead of INVENTING problems, why not care about the SERIOUS, EXISTING ONES?
Most of you people who watched and liked Zeitgeist - good for you, you got really riled up, you think "we're all fucked, the illuminati control our lives, blah blah blah".

Now, all of you tell me how often you go to demonstrations, which ones are activists, hell, if any of you ever did actual charity work, that'd be a bit more constructive than arguing over supposedly faked moon landings, 9/11, and so on.

Fuck off and watch the movie before posting an opinionÂ

Watched it. Just another conspiracy theory.

Much like religion, conspiracy theories are attractive because it's very comforting to believe there is some higher order in the world, and that the world we live in makes some kind of sense.

Well it doesn't.


It's a complete chaotic mess, a huge, hostile place, with no kind of comprehensible order whatsoever (other than the few physical laws that almost always work against you), with hideous doom lurking at every corner, and nobody at all has a chance of controlling what's going on.



But if you're too scared to accept that, scared of the big, bad, cruel world, then feel free to believe in any fancy theory that makes you feel safer.

I don't agree this time veho.

Conspiracies DO exist, and they refer to all kinds of things.
There ARE layers of power, and there IS powerful people in this or any other country.

Still, sorry not to have an ON TOPIC opinion.

There are layers of power, and interest, nad corruption, and people working towards their own personal gain at any expense, but those aren't conspiracies, it's there, in plain sight, for everyone to see (masked somewhat by mass media, of course; but if you trust CNN blindly you deserve to be robbed).

Here's one: the funds for the war in Iraq are taken from the state budget, which gets its money from taxes. But the war in Iraq benefits the US oil companies (including the one owned by a certain G. W. B.), whose profits, while actually being lower than the total funds being spent on the military action in Iraq, are still vastly greater than what the companies themselves have invested in the war (via taxes). And the aforementioned G. W. B. ends his mandate a great deal richer.

Now, if the president were someone with, say, an architectural background, the whole action would have lasted a few months, Iraq would have been razed with the ground, and suddenly all the building/development companies would be looking at rather lucrative "rebuilding" deals.

Corruption, manipulation, profiteering, scruple-less money-grabbing over people's graves, yes, but not exactly a conspiracy. Just milking the opportunity while they have the chance. And the best thing is: nobody has to hush anything up. People are too preoccupied with "conspiracies" to notice something like this, which, unfortunately, is "common practice". Because conflict of interest is as old as politics. No conspiracy about it.
