Reply #13: There is no such things a irrefutable proof to conspiracy theorists-- [View All]

--if there was, then people still wouldn't still be arguing over who really shot JFK or be looking for Aliens hidden in Area 51 or proof that we didn't really land on the moon, it was all a hoax done on a sound stage. Trust me, if someone found a long lost film taken by one of the nurses at Obama's birth, showing his mother giving birth to him, showing Hawaii hula dancers and surfers outside the window, as well as American flags and a the doctor reading a newspaper with the correct date and news on it for that date between labor pangs, the Birthers would insist the film was faked and proved nothing.

Such theorists are like cultists defending their religion; they only believe "proof" that supports their claims--no matter how weak or ridiculous. The other side can have the strongest possible proof and the theorists will still find a way to argue that it's not good enough. Like that absurd assertion over the non-raised seal on the birth certificate that's been photographed and shown around. They've been presented with irrefutable proof...and they refuted it! :banghead:

There is no point in trying to convince the Birthers--in fact, it's a waste of time. I'm with others who say that the only people who need to be convinced are the media, and all they need to be convinced of is that this story is so boring and dead that viewers will change the channel rather than listen to it. If the media can be convinced of that, then that will be the end of it for all but the birthers (who will never stop believing, but what does that matter if no one is listening to them?).
