Conspiracy Theories

That's all I remember of it really. But yeah, I thought that sounded like weird hippie shit back then especially...It hadn't even opened yet, so it must've been in the early 90s. I can't remember what the show was. It probably would've been a news magazine like 60 Minutes or 48 Hours.

Sounds exactly like the thing I remember watching.

I didn't neg you for that but at times you are a bit of a douche. Instead of just making an overarching statement about Wake kids being dumb, why not add an explanation such as you did here.

Because it's far easier to be a douche when typing on a phone. Short and sweet.

Controversy


Leo Tanguma's mural "The Children of the World Dream of Peace", in the baggage claim area.


There are several conspiracy theories relating to the airport's design and construction.
Murals painted in the baggage claim area have been claimed to contain themes referring to future military oppression and a one-world government. However, the artist, Leo Tanguma, said the murals, entitled "In Peace and Harmony With Nature" and "The Children of the World Dream of Peace," depict man-made environmental destruction and genocide along with humanity coming together to heal nature and live in peace.[48]
In the mid-1990s, Philip Schneider gave lectures about highly secretive government information concerning "deep underground military bases" that were constructed by the United States government, and said that one of these bases exists underneath the Denver International Airport. Author Alex Christopher claimed to have worked in the tunnels under the airport, and described what appeared to be vast holding areas for prisoners, strange nausea-inducing electromagnetic forces, and caverns big enough to drive trucks through, presumably to be filled with helpless political prisoners. This theory has been challenged, since photos have revealed that these tunnels are used for transportation of baggage by way of conveyor belts.[49]
Conspiracists have pointed to unusual words cut into the floor as being Satanic, Masonic, or just some impenetrable secret code of the New World Order: Cochetopa, Sisnaajini, and the baffling Dzit Dit Gaii.[50] These words are actually Navajo terms for geographical sites in Colorado. "Braaksma" and "Villarreal" are actually the names of Carolyn Braaksma and Mark Villarreal, artists who worked on the airport’s sculptures and paintings.[51]
There is a dedication marker in the airport inscribed with the Square and Compasses of the Freemasons, along with a listing of the two Grand Lodges of Freemasonry in Colorado. It is mounted over a time capsule that was sealed during the dedication of the airport. The Freemasons participated in laying this “capstone” (the last, finishing stone) of the airport project. The capstone also is inscribed with a line that simply states "New World Airport Commission", which is purportedly a non-existent organization. The blog, DIA Conspiracy Files,[52] follows the various theories surrounding the airport. Some also claim there is a city under the airport to protect the rich and government officials from the possible events of 2012. This theory was featured on a Conspiracy Theory show with former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura on TruTV.

Excerpt from Wikipedia
 
I did too...I figured that it was fairly well accepted that Wake grads are highly educated but often lack practical or technical knowledge. Goes with the territory.
 
The Dave Chappelle Show and the reason it was taken off the air/cancelled.

I find this to be one of the more interesting conspiracy theories I have heard recently.

Then they went after Tracy Morgan on 30 Rock. The bastards.
 
Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.

-So who's in this Pentavirate?

The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"

-Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?

Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!


 
I automatically have less respect for anyone who believes Oswalt wasn't a lone gunman

The moon landing and 9/11 conspiracies are just dumb. There is point by point evidence rebuttals everywhere

While the Chris Rock/Big Pharma "conspiracy" (for lack of a better word) makes a bit of sense, you have to realize that big pharma doesn't come up with most of the drugs they sell. Small pharma does and then sells to big pharma. Big Pharmaceutical companies are marketing companies that specialize in and hold patents to drugs. Sure they have R&D, but they get most of their drugs by aquiring smaller drug companies who actually develop them and those companies have all the incentive in the world to come up with cures

This never made sense to me. Were the rich, elite blacks too dumb to realize that whenever the show portrayed blacks as lazy, stupid, chicken-eating, fubu-wearing, etc. it wasn't because Chappelle actually thought that's how blacks are but rather because he was making fun of whites who think that that's how all blacks are?

I watched the show. It made perfect sense to me without any of that subtext.
