The article posted by wehateporn misses the mark. I'm not an "Anti Conspiracy theorist". I am a Critical Thinker.

When someone talks about a conspiracy, I let them give me the broad strokes at first, but when the details start coming in to play, thats when critical thinking comes into play.

The 9/11 Conspiracy theories are all very interesting, but some of them, such as the "demolition" arguments, fail when you think about them with a critical eye. Same goes for the "Fake moon landing" CS'ers, and the variant, "Stanley Kubrick Faked the moon landing footage".

The main thing about conspiracy theorists is that they start with an idea, and then follow only the leads that support the original idea, and dismiss the leads that dismiss it. This is the exact opposite of critical thinking.
