    If no one gets sick, doctors and nurses would be jobless and hospitals will be closed. How about virus? What is your theory?

    I think there is some truth to it, but there are those who create viruses just to create mischief.

    I think it's quite possible, especially since I got a virus from a Webroot product. :|

    For those who are into agriculture, farmers have realized that most modern pests that plague their lands are creations of pesticide companies.

    I've always thought that antivirus companies make viruses themselves.

    Oh by the way, I also think European scientists synthesized HIV. ;)

    I believe so yes, to sell something to the public you just need a problem first then provide a solution.

    I believe in the following creations either to make money or to mould how society goes:

    Viruses by the Antivirus companies
    Human Viruses and diseases because the pharmaceutical business is huge, you cant sell medication to healthy folks.

    Terrorism, a product of the higher orders, crafted and moulded for various benefits to them.

    Back to the computer viruses, notice how many of the anti virus softwares suggest that the other companies have a virus in them if your trying to install 2 on one computer, they dont want you to use the other.

    Its the order out of chaos theory, you first create chaos in whatever form them bring the solution, i bet sales of the softwares go through the roof when theres a big worldwide infection of a fast spreading virus.

    AH! let's form a conspiracy theory club!
    I swear the home appliances are rigged to malfunction right after your warranty expires.
    why does nothing last anymore?? my mom had a blender that was like 20 years old and still worked fine.
    nowadays stuff works good for a year or so.... it's a conspiracy to get us to keep buying more stuff...:eek:

    I have a home stereo that i still use, paid £670ish for it, its coming up for 14 yrs old, its slowly conking out on me, most of the lights are dead on it, i have to unplug it to switch it off, the buttons play games with me and one speaker cuts out, but for its age and daily use its lasted not bad.

    If i bought the same stereo today id expect less than 5 yrs out of it.
