Yahoo Clubs - What do you make of this?
by slipnslidemaster inokay, hopefully this won't start a big riot (like the last time)...here's the deal, my cousin (now, please keep in mind, she is not a witness) had a dinner party at her house last sunday.
she invited 10 of her closest friends, with one catch, every person invited had to bring one person w/them.
the person could be male or female and they had to be someone who my cousin (the host) did not know.

Why do some believe in alien conspiracies?
by Seeker ini've been thinking why a few here buy into things such as the illuminati conspiracies, or secret alien takeovers of our society, the masons taking over the world, and other far-fetched ideas.
i'm sure there are an abundant number of reasons for this, some of which apply to people in general.
but i think there are factors that are unique to those who have left high-control groups such as the wts.
