As far as conspiracies go ... Nate Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM
The only problem I have with the "official" story is that it takes a lot of coincidences to make it work, just like the ones you listed. Is it impossible? No. But it just feels...dirty to me. The buildings collapsed just like a controlled demolition. But I do concede that all these odd coincidences are possible. I'm not as nutty as this conspiracy nut that I talked to last week. He claimed that the hijackers, and even Osama Bin Laden, were on the CIA payroll. People like to think that he government is capable of anything but that's pushing it!


... I think it's much more likely (but still not very) that bin Laden was paid/encouraged by the US government than the idea that the US got their own people to do all these things, including setting up explosives on the towers to demolish them, and not one single person out of the dozens and dozens who would have had to be involved has said a single peep about it in ten years. It would be impossible to keep something like that quiet, and anyone concocting a giant conspiracy master plan would not hinge it on the inexplicable silence of everyone involved.

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1395 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 932 Views
Ugh. - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 966 Views
Re: Ugh. - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 892 Views
this is a controlled demolition - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 1011 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 943 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 851 Views
Re: Asking questions is never wrong. - 20/09/2011 11:57:04 PM 1014 Views
Agreed - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 888 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 953 Views
No, there is not. - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 1040 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 930 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 1022 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 831 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 878 Views
I don't think there is any evidience that Bush wanted to attack Iraq before 9-11 - 20/09/2011 05:21:09 PM 896 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 962 Views
Well if you had argued that some Bush advisers wanted to attack Iraq I would have agreed - 20/09/2011 06:35:07 PM 934 Views
But that's what I DID argue. - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 917 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 957 Views
I've always seen them as separate. - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 778 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 949 Views
Heh. - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 880 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 1010 Views
I'm still annoyed. - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 818 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 856 Views
In addition: - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 1024 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 959 Views
This is very frustrating. - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 910 Views
For the war on terror? - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 961 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 902 Views
That contradicts the evidence. - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 927 Views
Excuse me? - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 990 Views
Huh? - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 966 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 883 Views
Contemplate this.... - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 909 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 927 Views
And how did you know... - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 1010 Views
Re: And how did you know... - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 1004 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 865 Views
Won't help - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 939 Views
Make 'em all take debate. - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 888 Views
Would madam like a cane? - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 1030 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 424 Views
Do you think it would help? - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 883 Views

Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? - 21/09/2011 01:05:18 AM 893 Views
Not actually the best example - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 877 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 905 Views
Wouldn't make much difference - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 914 Views
OK thanks *NM* - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 471 Views
Re: Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? - 21/09/2011 03:02:19 AM 928 Views
But how else would they fall down? - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 798 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 958 Views
You could still argue. - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 832 Views
I didn't mean to imply that it is no fun to argue with a like-minded person - 21/09/2011 04:15:47 PM 848 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 923 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 838 Views
I love geometry proofs. - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 973 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 456 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 880 Views

Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1101 Views
Ha. Ha. - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 897 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1083 Views
