Hello, I have a problem with chemtrail conspiracy theorists. Why do chemtrails have to be bad?
To start off lets look at a picture of a chemtrail
That is a typical chemtrail. So tell me, what makes that an evil bio-weapon meant to destroy people and make us more easily controlled? why can't it be a chemical agent meant to help the environment and fix sinus problems?
Not much else for me to say. Please, tell me some reasons why they are bad.

Where did we get to the point that the word "contrail" is being replaced by "chemtrail"? "Chemtrail" isn't even a word:
Before a new word can be added to the dictionary, it must have enough citations to show that it is widely used. But having a lot of citations is not enough; in fact, a large number of citations might even make a word more difficult to define, because many citations show too little about the meaning of a word to be helpful. A word may be rejected for entry into a general dictionary if all of its citations come from a single source or if they are all from highly specialized publications that reflect the jargon of experts within a single field. To be included in a Merriam-Webster dictionary, a word must be used in a substantial number of citations that come from a wide range of publications over a considerable period of time. Specifically, the word must have enough citations to allow accurate judgments about its establishment, currency, and meaning. The number and range of citations needed to add a word to the dictionary varies. In rare cases, a word jumps onto the scene and is both instantly prevalent and likely to last, as was the case in the 1980s with AIDS. In such a situation, the editors determine that the word has become firmly established in a relatively short time and should be entered in the dictionary, even though its citations may not span the wide range of years exhibited by other words.

The term "truther" was a descriptor given to 9/11 researchers by government loyalists. But you see what it says under my name? It says "Researcher", not "truther". It doesn't bother me in the slightest whether that word exists or not. So, you're barking up the wrong tree with that one. What the fact of the matter is, is that the word "chemtrail" not only doesn't exist, but verifiable, repeatable scientific evidence doesn't exist to even prove the word "chemtrail" that doesn't exist. What we have is a made-up word by a person or persons, who never backed up that word with any real scientific evidence. So then, how can people keep professing a made-up word with no evidence to suggest that the made-up word should even exist?

What I have a problem with, as I stated is using the fact that the word doesn't appear in the dictionary to "prove" that the phenomenon doesn't exist.
