Your comment seems to assume that if you are in college you are intelligent. Fact is, one can pass through college without a very high level of intelligence.

You got the last part wrong, it’s the Aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy that are implanting thoughts/memories. That’s why so many people believe the moon landing was real and that the Earth is round too.

Actually cult members and conspiracy theorist are more intelligent than average, not less. Believe it or not stupid people are fairly sure they don’t know or understand many things while intelligent people sometimes don’t scrutinize ideas as much as they should because of their confidence in their ability.

It usually is a dumb person talking about chemtrails.

Unfortunately the label Conspiracy Theory is also sometimes used to instantly discredit legitimate criticism of society. As soon as something is labeled a Conspiracy Theory, most people shun the idea and intelligent discourse about it is prevented. There are many shades of gray between official accounts and batshit…

Many conspiracy theorists are highly educated. Colleges tend to be conspiracy theory hotbeds, and plenty of the worst offenders have doctorates in something or other. I don’t know that anyone has ever studied it, but I doubt you’d find an abnormal inverse correlation between education and belief in conspiracy…

For most of them, it is people who are not able to deal with the idea of random/extreme tragedy. It is more comfortable to think of an evil cabal creating a tragedy than for random horrible things to happen.

There are incredibly intellegent, educated people that, nonetheless, believe in conspiracy theories. To assume it’s the sole purview of the uneducated is a mistake.

Now just wait a damn minute. Andy is telling us about conspiracy theory? It’s in the editorial page clear as day.

Aren’t the stars paid for? I mean, there isn’t an independent body awarding these things for merit, you just pony up the dough, justify it with a flimsy excuse and get a meaningless, ugly piece of concrete with your name on it?

I’m opposed to vandalism and violence, but I believe this fits into the same category as “Always punch a Nazi.” 🌟🔨

I’m only disappointed to hear that the star goes some periods of time without being vandalized.

What’s next: will a Russian prostitute urinate on it?

I have said this before and it never stops being true: Donnie sounds like someone trying to have a serious conversation on a ball of cocaine. I really can’t listen to him talk, and when I read the shit he said, he sounds like a puppy that has too many shiny objects and noise makers around it.

You’re providing health. This is (unintelligible). Here, everything, pretty much everything you do in government, involves heart, whereas in business, most things don’t involve heart.

(unintelligible screaming)

Maybe the cheerleaders did something completely disgusting and amoral, like going to a restaurant with a married man.

Rumor has it the cheerleaders were also part of a pyramid scheme.

An old-school refrigerator?

Basically, the same places one might go in the event of a tornado.
