This one actually has some truth to it. It's like that prison-rapist philosophy where the rapist says he's "straight" and his victim is the one who's a "fag". There's lots of sociopaths in prison, and sociopaths are usually compulsive-liars and also closet bisexuals. So the same basic line of thinking applies to sociopathic homophobes that are outside of prison in everyday life.

(note: I'm not talking about all homophobes. Just ones with antisocial personality disorder.)

Whether so-called homophobes are really closet homosexuals or not (and I doubt many of them are), I don't see how the idea that they are can be classed as a conspiracy theory. It's really just a theory about individuals engaging in psychological projection.

That is unless the theory is that there are cabals of homosexuals who know they are homosexuals but collectively decide to spread anti-homosexual messages, and I don't really think that is ever the implication when people suggest that homophobes are really homosexual.

(As a sidenote, I have heard of hoax hate crimes against homosexuals. Now if someone were to suggest that these hate crime hoaxers were acting on orders, then I would classify that as a conspiracy theory, whether it turned out to be true or not.)

I very much agree with you, Black Elk. Conspiracy theories have no place in today's world.


Wow, that's a sweeping statement, especially given your obviously broad definition of what constitutes a conspiracy theory.

I haven't looked that deeply into Sandy Hook to have an opinion on it, so I paste the following that was brought to attention on another site as it was written in December 2010 just for interest :-

"
Obama use school shooting to disarm America

In approximate 2 years from today there will be mass school shooting in Connecticut. A lone gunman will kill many children. That's a trick of propaganda. Step by step, they make it a totalitarian country.

They have a false flag attack on December 2012 to justify their war on 2nd Amendment. The responsible gunowner is wronged as terrorist. The real mastermind of the shootings grins at the soap opera they directed. They treat you like fools. Do not have a logic confuse."

Heres the link to check for yourselves:-

LINK TO THE ABOVE POST

The poster was pretty accurate to guess such an event would happen in Connecticut and in December 2012.

The obvious answer is that there are so many "nutters" giving out false predictions that one of them was bound to co-incide by pure coincidence. If this is the case however, it shouldn't be too difficult to find similar posts about school shootings that didn't occur.

Most of the fake "homophobes" he's referring to are probably closet bisexuals that prefer the opposite gender, and they know that being openly bisexual/gay is often considered taboo. That's sometimes the case with people that turn gay in prison where they come out of the closet when they're only around others of the same gender.

A good way to spot these bisexual fake-homophobes is if somebody constantly implies that others are gay for little or no reason. They look for an excuse to call other people "gay" as an insult because they secretly think of it as being the norm, so they assume most other people think the same way. For example, they constantly say things like "John is a fag cause he wore a tight purple t-shirt yesterday". :roll:

That's a nonsensical question. I don't see how any conspiracy can be good by definition.

Shouldn't the question be whether the theory is true or not?

The term 'conspiracy theory' is propaganda anyhow, and the question ascribes entertainment value to despicable and criminal actions in a way that is insensitive to its victims.

The stupidest conspiracy theory that I've ever heard is the Time Cube. It's very hard for any sane and logical person to follow, but basically, this one nutjob believes that the earth is suspended inside a "Time Cube", where the four corners represent midnight, noon, sunup, and sundown, and between these there are four 24-hour days, represented by the four side faces. He also says that the laws of physics are wrong, and dislikes any form of religion, most modern education, and any other teachings that contradict his theory. His website gives only vague and hard-to-follow details, and he mostly just wastes space attacking what he calls "evil education". Look him up, but beware: his site is also notorious for its long, rambling explanation, which is written in bold, centered, 30pt font.

Sounds like Geocentrism dressed up with Thelema for teen angst appeal.

Something much easier on the eyes and dosed with a fair amount of wit and humility for those who were willing to undergo brain-damage on our behalf:
