    Movies don't have to cost millions to make. They only do because producers make millions from them and the they will rather spend $50 million on CG than $50 thousand on a plot.

    My sentiments exactly. TV poisons the mind with advertising coercion, news channel brainwashing and programs that stupify. Internet is the antidote.

    I used to pull working computer/parts out of dumpsters all the time at uni. If you live in a first world country and don't need to play games, you don't even need to buy a computer! Just dust of some garbage and install your favorite linux flavor. Yesterdays gaming machine is my workstation.

    I haven't bought a computer for about 6 years.

    There is no such think as evil, except as a concept. The universe just expresses itself. You can label things/evens as right, wrong, good, evil all you want, but the fact remains and these are just artificial concepts.

    it's a case of: "you can't handle the truth!". People find it easier to deny conspiracy theories than to turn their world upside down. This is why some CT-ists use the phrase: "wake up!".

    ...$100M for a great war weapon. But the flu isn't a great war weapon because it's too unpredictable ...

    Now you have evoked a straw man by your presumption of motive. Maybe there are other reasons to create a virus ...? Do you know about the population reduction agenda?

    Many accusations of "conspiracy nuttery" are married with the accusation of "no evidence". Sometimes, however, what the accuser fails to recognise is that the "theorist" is not actually a nut; there is evidence! The accuser is simply unaware of it. You need evidence for your theory of non-evidence, hypocrite.

    It's far more likely the government created the virus for purposes of population control (look it up if you don't know) than the pharmaceutical industry. Although it could be an agenda of selling vaccines.

    Where the train goes off the rails is where a conspiracy theory requires that massive numbers of people are keeping their mouths shut about some grand plan that they're a small part of. That can be done for a short time, but eventually every secret that has more than about 3 people in on it comes out.

    This is exactly the attitude that stops conspiracy theories from "getting out". People subconsciously use this argument to dismiss a theory, when told. The reason the the theory doesn't get out is that no one believes it when they are told. Evey time I try to tell people that the sodium fluoride (rat poison) in our water supply is NOT good for us, they think I'm a conspiracy nut. Even though there is overwhelming evidence for this on the internet.

    So no, people aren't "keeping their mouth shut". It's just that no one believes them. People believe the television instead.
