How do you know that tag wasn't made by one of your colleauges in reference to the rest of us?I am not after your respect. It's clear from some of your responses in this thread and others that I and others who question certainly don't have yours by default of your own bias. All I am asking is that you do not flood threads like these with your insults and generalizations. Whoever put the "idiots in tinfoil" tag has also added to the non-discussion and mocking.

Because the term is generally applied to people who do not swallow whatever they see on mass media corporate news, not to those who take most everything they see on the news box as the truth.
Um, no.
It's applied to people who come up with crackpot theories about things simply because they can't accept things at face value.
They look for agendas where there isn't any.
I don't buy into everything media tells me, but I don't smell a conspiracy every time there's inconsistencies.
Can you name 1, just 1 major or semi major event that:
-Was covered extensively by NATIONAL CORPORATE (not just local) NEWS and...
- You held a minority opinion that was NOT popular and...
- You believed either the government and/or media was involved in a cover-up or conspiracy or major deception and...
- You would not be afraid to publicly voice an opinion on because of a "conspiracy theorist/nut job" label.
Can you just name 1 event that fit all those criteria?
And now we know who added the "tinfoil hat brigade" tag
...FEMA death camps with automated guillotines and millions of coffins stacked and reaxy, faked Moon landing, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City, the Long Island missile attack, MK Ultra, and Agenda 21... I think thats most of them?I would pose a similar question to you...can you name a popular conspiracy that (you think) involves the government that you don't believe in? JFK, 9/11, Waco, Aurora shooting, Newtown shooting, Osama Bin Laden's death...etc.? Please point out which ones you think are supported by real facts, and which ones are just the result of people projecting their distrust of government into wild speculation and reactionary explanations.

Do the fema death camps really have automated guillotines? Or do they just have Freddy or Jason doing security?

And now we know who added the "tinfoil hat brigade" tag
Since you didn't quote anyone, and your post followed mine...I can honestly state that I didn't add any tags to this thread, although I regularly do. But I wholeheartedly support whomever added that tag, because it falls right in line with the point I was making. It's not that this one thing is a conspiracy, it's that everything is.

When you say ridiculous things...Hmm, "idiots in tinfoil" (original tag) is ridicule just like "tinfoil hat brigade" (what it was changed to)

Not a lot of people were on this sub-forum when I brought up the original tag, which was changed within a few minutes. You were one of them, Btodd, and if I understand this forum right, a person has to be logged in to create a tag.
I'm sure a mod could check it if he or she was so inclined.
