Has the 911 Official Story been "proven"?
Since they haven't told us how building #7 fell, is quesitoning how that fell currently, NOT a conspiracy theory? I mean, they told us nothing.
how about JFK? They absolutely never PROVED that JFK was killed by Oswald. Hell, a great deal of evidence points at quite the opposite. Plus, congress admitted in the late 70s that it was most likely a group effort. Plus, Pres Ford admitted to falsifying JFK's autopsy records.
Since even the govt tells us the official story on JFK has been disproven (official story said bullet hole in different spot than Ford wrote it, to intentionally mislead), doesn't this mean it is NO LONGER a conspiracy theory?
Kinda hard to define a conspiracy theory, isn't it? 80% of Americans believe JFK was killed by a group, congress admitted it was most likely, and a US Prez actually doctored autopsy results. The official story has been trounced. How can people who doubt oswald did it alone still be called conspiracy theorists? Hell, they've been proven correct by the govt itself! lol...

Yes the JFK conspiracy theory is still just that.
I'm open to conspiracy theories, I just tend to believe things are much simpler than you make them out to be. I've had discussions with conspiracy theorists and those who I've encountered tend to be pretty similar to you: they don't just have one conspiracy theory they focus on; they believe in lots of them.
I believe in the conspiracies of silence that are part of some professions, e.g., the "blue code" with cops and in the medical community. Our government has lied in the past to cover up misdeeds, e.g., Agent Orange, the Philadelphia Experiment. But the massive, international, intergovernmental, media, intergalactic, etc. conspiracies simply don't make any sense.

What you did here is defend the official JFK position, attack other people you've met, and justified crimes by those in office. That's cool if you feel that way, but you still haven't answered the question this thread asked:
BB, can you please clearly define "conspiracy theory"?
