A - many kids regard it as a credible source on everything. So if it is on posted on a site of its own, it has to be true, no matter what it is. If it's a site that not many people know about, it really has to be true, especially if it says something other sites don't say. The other sites are conspireing in order to hide that information.[/b]
Well isn't it the same with other media? I mean I know when something happens around me, there's a huge amount of mistakes/misleadings etc. from newspapers/TV I really don't regard them as a much more credible source of information than the internet. (perhaps a blogger that saw something happen etc.) Of course if you are talking about conspiracy theories that kids saw on some random site, they would again believe a report about UFO's or a hidden nuke in Slovenia (:P) that they read in an xy magazine, so it's pretty much the same, kids like to believe those stuff.

B - all the knowladge in the world is on the internet, so I don't have to know anything. All I need is a browser.[/b]
That is becoming more true by the day. Knowledge is becoming cheaper and ore available "electronized" if you wish, I don't see that as a bad thing. Text is still text whether it's in a book or on a web site. It was made by humans who make mistakes from time to time.

C - I'm paying for the internet, so everything I find on it I have to pay for. Why are they saying then that those movies are illegally downloaded - I payed for them. I pay a full XX€ a month to have my connection.[/b]
They'll stop rationalizing like that when they get their first job.
Sure I pirate software too, but I don't rationalize it, I'm an evil criminal.
