conspiracy theorist

Well i have been named a conspiracy theorist. Id like to know what makes some one a conspiracy theorist. I find it very interesting if someone thinks about what is going on in the present day differently than what the media says then automatically they are considered a nut job.

If you look through history everyone especially governments are filled with conspiracy theories. In my opinion there are just too many for some of them not to be true. I have come to the conclusion that the government keeps a great deal of secrets and most of them we are better off not knowing... just my opinion.

^ all governments keep secrets (hence the classified info levels)

I used to believe that we never went to the moon, because so many of the 'objections' seemed to hold water and were not readily answered. But when I asked a really, really smart friend, he said how hard is it for the conspiracy to be true? How could they fake everything and not one person let it out? I just believed him right there.

A certain type of personality is prone to conspiracy theories. Namely. those who have been lied to or deceived, by parents (here we go again). This questioning of their motives is correct, however it leads to false positives -believing in conspiracy theories- because their sense of 'truth' is not well honed after recently breaking off the shackles of being lied to their whole lives. But once you figure out who has been lying to you, and about what, the rest of the stuff sorts itself out, and you will see the conspiracy theorists as nut jobs too, but feel sorry for them because the have not made the necessary step (that their parents have lied to them in some way, not that 911 was an inside job).

to put it simply, some secrets are so big that if they are let out, the result will be total anarchy. even the occasional leaks are easy to cover up since anything can be censored from the news and explained away. e.g.: unless a ufo lands during a superbowl halftime show, nobody will ever see it, and those who do will be labeled as liars and/or crazy.

at a personal level: i have a theory that nobody becomes somebody without being labeled crazy at least once

To answer your question, I believe you have to get a state license with the state, but I'm not sure.
