Hello. I'm Wveth. You probably knew that.

I've been reading this 'ere site since 'fore there were forums, ayuh.

When I was about... oh... 14 - 15-ish, I was a bit of a conspiracy nut. Loose Change was the big one. But now I'm a rational human being. Hurray! (for the record, I'm 20 now)

I owe much of this to Conspiracy Science... so... thank you, website!

Also, I can't figure out how to get an avatar for myself here. Would someone help?

I hope not, Sil. ^_^;

Anyway, if you hadn't noticed, I tend to randomly type in such a way so as to imitate an accent of some sort. In the above case, a Southern one.

I don't know why. It's just a random urge I can't resist.

Gravatar, eh? Hmm...

Testing!

Ah. I didn't see it 'til I cleared my cache.

"Strange choice"

Words can hurt, you know. ;_;

@ aaronmhatch, why don't you have an Avatar if you know how to make one? Create yourself an avatar people, I'm to lazy to read your names!

Sky, fine. And Wveth, you're skeptical of conspiracy theories. That's VERY strange.

The one CT I found myself in trouble with was JFK. I was tearing down 9/11 and the whole Illuminati thing that my uncle believed, mostly by drawing parallels with anti-semitism.

But I had never researched the JFK thing, so I couldn't comment. I learned a bit on that JFK thread that Mr. Wingnut (pseudonym) posted. I wanna git that thar book.

And Aaron's avatar is clever.

Thanks. And yes, I want to believe in JFK. I really want to.

lol Sil

I want to believe that people in government didn't want Kennedy's ideas to see the light of day.

Eh, yeah. It's more of just wanting to know the government could pull off something so dramatic as to kill off a president and get away with it.

Same thing goes for wanting to believe Area 51 had alien technology.

If everyone else changes their avatar, then mine will be unique!

I wouldn't dream of it.

I am pretty knowledgeable about the JFK assassination. The best book to read on it is Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History," which absolutely shreds ALL conspiracy theories regarding the assassination.

If you look at the evidence, it's clear that there's NO question that Oswald did it. That combined with the fact that there's NO evidence anyone else was involved, the conclusion that he did it alone is unimpeachable.

Happy to discuss this in a separate topic if you like. And welcome, Wveth.

Vincent Bugliosi was the former DA for Los Angeles. He prosecuted Charles Manson and handled several other high-profile cases. He spent 20 years researching the JFK assassination, and in no way can be considered a conspiracy theorist...in fact, CTs detest him because he tore apart all their theories.

Am I the only one who thought: "Vlah! I vant to debunk your conspiracies."
