So at work I have funny little conversations. Thyere are a couple of folks who not only believe the attack on the World trade center was orchestrated by our government but at least one of them brings up the Illuminati. I being the reasonable man that I am have pointed out that there is no supportable evidence that it was a government operation. I even pointed to the fine articles from popular mechanics disputing most of the previelent arguements mad this horrible deed was done by our government.

I pointed out that the Illuminati really most likely does not exist. One of the people I was arguing with actually pointed to the fact that you cant find any real evidence of the existance of the illuminati as proof it was real. And yes Laurie, he did in fact refer to the Templars there by prooving himself a loon.

But he and the other fellow I was arguing with became animated in the discussion. No matter how reasonable my point they would not listen. How would most of you argue this point?

I wouldn't. But you like arguing a lot more than I do.

Agreed, there's no point in arguing. It's too difficult to convince someone that something improbable didn't happen.

Either way, you can't say that the controlling party didn't benefit from the results of that attack.

Tell them that not everything they see on the History Channel is gospel.

The Illuminati is real! Find me a 100% explaination why there is a pyramid with a eye on $1 bill, that does not reference secret societies. Forget the 9/11 conspiracy. Just accept that an oligarchy has control western society for a very long time.

I would mess with them, but I love doing that ... you should play how crazy can I get them to sound ... :)

In reality, they are somewhere else and that is the way it will be. You can't "win" the arguement because they don't listen they are just waiting for there turn to talk.

Never argue with an idiot. People might not be able to tell the difference.

The Illiuminati do not exist.
They told me so themselves.
