I disagree. When you play online you play between 60-150 hands an hour as opposed to live being 25-35 hands an hour. You're seeing so many more hands so you are going to see more bad beats. You will also see many hands where there is no flop or hands where it is folded around to the blinds. The difference is that you don't remember the time you were big blind and everyone folded, you remember the time you had AA and KK called you down and hit a runner runner straight.
I don't know why I bother to participate in threads like this. If you think it's rigged prove it and/or don't play. Poker Tracker will easily prove/disprove these theories. No site has ever been challenged with any credible evidence but it's amazing how many people have all of these conspiracy theories.
