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 1302 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 847 Views
Ugh. - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 875 Views
Re: Ugh. - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 803 Views
this is a controlled demolition - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 922 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 856 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 754 Views
Re: Asking questions is never wrong. - 20/09/2011 11:57:04 PM 919 Views
Agreed - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 793 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 849 Views
No, there is not. - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 951 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 836 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 907 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 747 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 761 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 812 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 869 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 852 Views
But that's what I DID argue. - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 834 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 839 Views
I've always seen them as separate. - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 700 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 844 Views
Heh. - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 803 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 908 Views
I'm still annoyed. - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 741 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 768 Views
In addition: - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 911 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 881 Views
This is very frustrating. - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 831 Views
For the war on terror? - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 864 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 812 Views
That contradicts the evidence. - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 840 Views
Excuse me? - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 881 Views
Huh? - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 879 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 808 Views
Contemplate this.... - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 830 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 827 Views
And how did you know... - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 923 Views
Re: And how did you know... - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 913 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 767 Views
Won't help - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 837 Views
Make 'em all take debate. - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 803 Views
Would madam like a cane? - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 920 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 384 Views
Do you think it would help? - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 775 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 795 Views
Not actually the best example - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 788 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 833 Views
Wouldn't make much difference - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 811 Views
OK thanks *NM* - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 423 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 850 Views
But how else would they fall down? - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 709 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 877 Views
You could still argue. - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 741 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 776 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 819 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 751 Views
I love geometry proofs. - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 874 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 420 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 770 Views

Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1014 Views
Ha. Ha. - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 813 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 981 Views
