Quote:the question is what would be considered acceptable evidence to any deniers?  i think there is potentially tons of corroborating evidence that could be used to prove that these victims are real, and honestly I'd like to see it

 

Pretty standard conspiracy buff argument - prove it happened! Prove I'm not crazy!

 

You don't want to "argue" an issue. That implies using reason and intellect. What you want to do is profess your faith.

 

Since traditional religions have been losing their grip on the populace it seems many people still have the need for faith - to be a part of something larger than themselves and to be be part of a small, inside group - the elect. Naturally many of these people (I call them suckers, but anyway) naturally turn to conspiracy. No facts needed, no intellect required. Just faith. Every "argument" can be countered by some absurdity. Nothing will every be resolved, as it's all part of the greater conspiracy. Can't lose.

 

Might as well "argue" with someone who thinks the sun revolves around the earth, or swears they saw Elvis at a Shell station last night. I learned this by spending a lot of time regarding The Mother Of All Conspiracies - the assassination of JFK. The loons came out of the woodwork on that one. Still do, but many are dying off. It just becomes a dog chasing his tale. But apparently some people like chasing their tale.
