So I was just browsing around on the Internet, not looking for anything specific when I came across a comment that said McDonald’s is made from the flesh of children, then I discovered the movie Soylent Green, and it’s all gone downhill from there, and I’m afraid to eat anything from fear it is made from human flesh disguised as meat. I feel like I’m going crazy and I’m so so scared that we are currently living in Soylent Green, and I just wish I never stumbled across that comment in the first place. I feel like a paranoid wreck now. I hate conspiracy theories.

I know once you fixate on something its hard
But really, do try to think logically here

Mcdonalds meat is not made from human flesh

I stumbled on this and was intrigued. I too have heard people say that flesh, babies, dogs, etc are all used in our fast foods. Sometimes, just sometimes, conspiracy theories are made up rubbish, by very bored people, or folks with an axe to grind. If you watch YouTube there are many videos that show how the food is made. I was impressed about their chicken nuggets, they show from start to finish, and they use fresh, white meat chicken, with no fillers, and not a lot of junk. Now granted they may not be the healthiest things to eat but once I saw the video I had a craving for some.

I have a really big thing for conspiracy theories, I'm a bit obsessed with them. But this isn't one of them. I know for a fact that big chains (not the little greasy spoons and one off ratburger stalls) like McDs are really heavily audited these days. There's just noooo way.

CTs are almost always a load of baloney, usually concocted by smart alecs with nothing better to do, in pursuit of their proverbial 'fifteen minutes of fame'!!

I never take them seriously without knowing the full facts in advance.

I couldn't agree more... more often than not, these snake-oil salesman aka authors of these conspiracy theories are only in it to make some easy cash out of people's fears and ignorance. CT's can also be very damaging physically and mentally for yourself and others.

The McDonalds thing started from a spoof article. Google 'Huzlers and McDonalds'. Unfortunately, people reproduced the article without linking to the original source which led to some people thinking it was real.

No need to ditch the Big Mac cocker, it contains beef, not child (or horse).

Ah, I see it's an old post, but it still stands because it shows how gullible people can be.

That said, Elvis is alive and working in Tesco!

The only time I have ever remotely bought into conspiracy theories is with Diana. Given how influential she was (even when she was no longer part of the Royal family) and the fact that her potentially marrying Dodi made her a serious threat to the throne. - I find it hard to accept that this was simply an 'accident'.

Some of the conspiracy theories are ridiculous, and I honestly don't know what to think, but I've never been able to shake the feeling that she was, er, taken out.

When it comes to the driver, Henri Paul, it was claimed that he was driving at about 120 mph, but crash investigators said it would have been 60 on impact?

He was supposedly 'drunk' - only he's walking about and talking normally in the video footage. He had alcohol in his system - fact - but the two drinks he was known to have had does not equal 'drunk' and the fact that his liver showed no signs of abuse when they did the post-mortem challenges the suggestion that he was a heavy drinker.

Witnesses say they heard an explosion before the car crashed, and there was a blinding white light which was apparently too strong for a camera's flashlight? I don't know. Maybe it was just that - the temporary blinding from a flashlight. Or it was something more sinister designed to disorientate the driver to ensure loss of control. Also, the body guard was the only one wearing a seatbelt, and he doesn't look as startled as Henri does in those pictures - almost as if he was expecting something? :unsure:

The list of anomalies in the investigation is endless and I guess we will never know the truth, and perhaps that's the kindest thing for William and Harry.

I always liked how Diana stirred the shit and forced those dusty old crones to get with the times. It's absolutely not up for debate that Di used the media to her advantage but that was to gain as much attention for certain causes as she could, and for the rest, who can blame her after the way Charles and Camilla treated her? The girl had been virtually groomed by that woman because she thought that Di would turn a blind eye to her husband being Camilla's 'tampon' with Di doing the royal donkey work while she sat on her arse smoking reading Horse and Hound and knocking back the gins! The fact that so many people came forwards after Di died to say how she had visited them, with no reporters or photographers, and no reason except to comfort and support them shows who the real Diana was. But most of the UK already knew that, which is why she was loved whereas 'The Firm' have been spinning their arses off for years to thaw public opinion to the woman who caused Diana such pain and humiliation. I tell you cockers, it will be a cold day in hell before I stand in line for that woman, or Charles.

He was working down the chip shop, but he left because the owners have suspicious minds and they thought he was nicking chip oil for his quiff. He works in Tesco now - way down at the back of the store in goods in. :winks:

I did hear that he'd had trouble with a delivery of blue suede shoes but I don't ( want to) be cruel.

It's now or never really for him to make a comeback.

I heard that too. Something about him talking too much and taking delivery of some blue suede shoes instead of blue veined cheese? His supervisor told him, 'A little less conversation and more action please!':yahoo:

Yes his boss got all shook up about that..

By mixing up the order for blue veined cheese with blue suede shoes, you could say he made a mess of the blues? :yesyes:

Yes they should have linked the original source. Now lots of people are really feared of eating nuggets from McDonalds :lac:

I'm one to entertain conspiracy theories. But this one is a load of nonsense. It was a Facebook post that went viral that's all.

I can't even comment on that as I know very little. Thus far I've heard:

* Farmers finding ballot boxes in their fields
* Biden manipulating postal ballots
* Ordinary folk (delivery drivers etc.) dumping trump boxes

I'm not even going to entertain those conspiracies.

It seems that conspiracy theories have gone from bad to worse during the course of this pandemic, with pretty much every man and his dog jumping on the bandwagon over the past year or so.

It's almost as if it's a form of 'pop culture' of late, and this madness now seems to have reached the point where it's virtually impossible to curtail.

One person I know who is quite blasé about life in general said to me recently when we were having a conversation about misinformation and fake news that 'one person's fake news is another person's free speech, so just get a life'!

I then said to that person, 'well why don't you just crawl back under your rock then, you ignorant berk'!

Then he started playing the strawman and harping on about 'democracy' and his usual anti-censorship rhetoric.
