Does someone have the old Building 7 thread tag? This thread needs it.

I think part of the appeal of conspiracy theories is that they can be so easily and lazily defended (and by "defended" I mean "deterring the people who disagree" and not "successfully using facts and evidence to support a point") that they catch on for certain people. So when you link to a bunch of studies/debunkings of 9/11 thermite charges or whatever, they usually say "well, those guys are being paid with OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS to deny the TRUTH!!!" or the classic "you sheeple need to wake up!" The burden of proof just never sticks to people that believe these sorts of things.
