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 1344 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 891 Views
Ugh. - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 920 Views
Re: Ugh. - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 844 Views
this is a controlled demolition - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 960 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 903 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 802 Views
Re: Asking questions is never wrong. - 20/09/2011 11:57:04 PM 961 Views
Agreed - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 847 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 900 Views
No, there is not. - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 995 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 869 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 974 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 791 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 833 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 847 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 908 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 889 Views
But that's what I DID argue. - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 867 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 904 Views
I've always seen them as separate. - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 735 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 897 Views
Heh. - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 835 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 958 Views
I'm still annoyed. - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 775 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 814 Views
In addition: - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 970 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 917 Views
This is very frustrating. - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 865 Views
For the war on terror? - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 909 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 857 Views
That contradicts the evidence. - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 877 Views
Excuse me? - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 944 Views
Huh? - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 918 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 840 Views
Contemplate this.... - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 864 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 881 Views
And how did you know... - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 962 Views
Re: And how did you know... - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 957 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 815 Views
Won't help - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 890 Views
Make 'em all take debate. - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 839 Views
Would madam like a cane? - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 970 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 402 Views
Do you think it would help? - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 839 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 856 Views
Not actually the best example - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 831 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 866 Views
Wouldn't make much difference - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 855 Views
OK thanks *NM* - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 445 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 888 Views
But how else would they fall down? - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 750 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 910 Views
You could still argue. - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 786 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 809 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 876 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 791 Views
I love geometry proofs. - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 932 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 434 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 827 Views

Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1056 Views
Ha. Ha. - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 852 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1029 Views
