[QUOTE="Lil, post: 656666, member: 17309"] Copa, my son leans toward conspiracy theories too, but he at least takes it with good humor when we tell him to make a tinfoil hat. Your son's view - reptilians and illuminati and probably NWO stuff - it's crazy to most people...but there are a LOT of people who go for that. Seriously, if you search YouTube you'll find dozens...maybe hundreds...of videos, some very professional, spouting this stuff. Maybe just tell him, "I love you. I don't believe the things you believe and I think they're frankly nuts. But if you choose to believe these things I can't change it. Please respect me enough to not try to make me believe and I won't try to change your mind. Let's agree to disagree and not discuss them at all." Then stick to it. You can't make him not believe these ridiculous theories, though I know you'd love to. Try to think of them as a difference of opinion on religion or politics...as long as he isn't hurting anyone, he is entitled to his own beliefs. [/QUOTE]
