Which is not going to happen.
I also, like the dismissal of me, someone that is "disillusioned", because although I've read in to many conspiracy theories, I see them as no more then complicated fiction, at the best of times.
Zeitgeist...amazing film..

This debate lacks direction. Your are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine and its quite obvious none of us are going to change it, lol.
Personally, I hope something happens in our lifetime so I can laugh in your face (i just had to mention that).
This is a pretty good dissection of Zeitgeist part I: http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/09-02-25#feature
The other two sections of the film follow in the same vein but make even more fantastic assertions; mainly that 9/11 was a conspiracy and that the global economic system is orchestrated to keep us all poor.

getting personal ? not very nice.
Seeing as nothing will happen, I'll be laughing now, with many other people until the end of our lives
This debate doesn't lack direction, the film looks to be an amateur film, about some conspiracy theories, most of which are fiction.
Can't be bothered to continue this "debate" with you.

Actually, it wasnt personal, I was injecting some humour into it.
Although that appeared to go right over your head
Also, I've already agreed zeitgeist is flawed :S

No, I can't be bothered to be pulled in to an argument with someone on the internet. Feel free to insult me, or my profession

So if I look at the evidence and can still call it rubbish in a broad sense then am I close(d) minded? As with many conspiracy theories it takes a couple of (vaguely) reasonable points and then tries to hang a whole host of fanciful assertions on them as if the credibility of the reasonable points will somehow carry the blatently exaggerated or flat out untruths that are attached.

I recently watched these films and looked for something to debunk it but all I could find was religious types banging on about the first part, I know there's 911 stuff all over the place but is there anything that really looks at the financial stuff ?

The big problem with the average conspiracy theory (and anything presented by Zeitgeist falls into this catagory) is that, unike say a good scientific or even theological theory, the ideas behind the theory are oft presented as fact.
It's for this very reason people dislike michael moores films. No one is going to say what he puts out there is 100% wrong, but he presents it to be 100% right with no possible wiggle room for the fact he may be wrong himself.
Personally I am of the opinion that there is no grand scheme, no formal NWO, but as with all things im sure that some people have perhaps more power than they should.
This is basic human nature, the way it has always been and I imagine the way it will always be.
Conspiracy theorists typically have very good imaginations, but it all boils down to the same thing, someone somewhere is controlling the world, or is going to, and as a result of this, everybodies personal failings can be explained OR our nice way of life is in trouble. Doesn't work like that i'm afraid, as much as they would like to believe that there are one or two people out there with that kind of power, I find it highly unlikely that there actually are. We're largely in charge of our own successes/failures i'm afraid.

Zeitgeist fails at the very first hurdle when it talks about Horus. I couldn't find one source to back it up.
