Facebook: The Israel Conspiracy

I hear the most random things. Here are a few of the conspiracies that I have unmasked since I've lived in Bahrain.

1) Facebook is controlled by Israel: It makes perfect sense, says my Arab friend. I mean, Israel wants to take over the world. Facebook is a way to gather all sorts of information on people. People put all kinds of crap on Facebook - phone numbers, addresses, pictures, videos. Its all there for Israel to catalog and track. I mean, who else would want this information!? DUN Dun dun!!

2) Fluoride - the sedative for Americans: Did you know that most American cities have fluoride added to their water? Yes? Well do you know what this fluoride does!?!? I can tell you right now.

Fluoride is a way to control the population. It make men impotent and therefore keeps them from impregnating their wives and girlfriends. Of course. Otherwise we'd spread like rabbits.

Fluoride is also a way to brainwash Americans. The fluoride makes us more sensitive to the subliminal and subversive messages from our evil and world dominating government.

3) George Bush is bent on world domination: Actually, this one is a pretty understandable viewpoint. I don't claim to know Bush's or any other US government officials reasons for the current US foreign policy, but its easy to see why people around the world hate President Bush.
