Why is there no life on Mars?
Because Hugo Chavez thinks that capitalism destroyed it.

So I was thinking I could post something scientific. Then I noticed it was in the Conspiracy Theories group and I also read the OP.
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/...#ixzz1HT8o9Srj Hugo Chavez does not sound any wackier than Randi Rhodes. I like to listen to her show. She says that since the 9-11 hijackers were mostly Saudi, Saudi Arabia, not Al Qaeda (somehow) attacked the USA. |

It was communists.
Communists are from Mars, Capitalists are from Venus. (And Libertarians are from Uranus) |

Should this be in the Humor section?
Maybe all consparacy theories belong there in a subgroup. |

It's always the same thing on these boards.
Chávez sais something stupid? Some poster comes in and says US Christians say much crazier things. Ahmadinejad says something awful? Some poster comes in and says US Christians say much worse. It's like an obsessive thought, it always comes back the the same thing. It's like you're caught in a loophole. Chávez can't be held accountable for what he said, no, US Christians have to be blamed for what he said. |

I have no sympathy for Chavez, but couldn't this comment have been made in jest? Or just some sort of poetic license?
Do we have the remark in context? |

Actually Chavez really is a CT nutjob. He doubts that American really went to the moon, citing the "wind on the moon" evidence.
http://www.slate.com/id/2262520/ Christopher Hitchens spent some time with Chavez and he seems to believe he really is as nutty as a fruitcake. |
