1. One of many groups of loonies.
They all have the same fantasy...ONE DAY, it'll all come out, then I'll be vindicated! All those people who laughed at my intelligence will look like FOOLS when __________________fill in the blank(the moon landings are exposed as faked, the alien spaceship is reveled, the chem-trails are exposed, the super-secret world government comes to light, the WTC are shown to be a controlled demolition, the mind-control technology is public, creationism is proved, the earth is proven to be flat).

They are good for a :rofl: though

3. Well, there are *some* theories that were scoffed at as insane,
but later admitted to by the government. Like the CIA hiring Nazi war criminals, or the MKULTRA experiments with giving people LSD without telling them... Before the government admitted these things, if someone had tried to tell others about it, the likely response would have been, "Hiring NAZIS? Giving people LSD? GOD, you're crazy."

I'm sorry, but I just don't believe the conspiracy theories. Especially the one in which the conspirators say that "the fire didn't get hot enough to melt the steel"--Who ever said steel needed to melt in order for a building to collapse? All it needs to do is weaken (and it did weaken by about half), and compromise the structural integrity of the building, and 1500 degrees is plenty hot enough to do that. Besides, when the jets crashed through the buildings, they ripped off the protective fireproof coating over the steel beams, anyway.

And as for the theory that there were explosives placed in the building, I've never had a conspiracy theorist satisfactorily explain A. how they could have placed the explosives in the buildings without anyone noticing, and B. how they could also have placed them at the exact spots where the planes hit. Also, just because there was an explosion doesn't necessarily mean there were bombs. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that jet fuel + fire = explosion. Just a hunch. And one of the workers who cleaned up the rubble said they never found any evidence of bombs, anyway. Not even a blasting cap.

I don't believe any other of the conspiracies, either, but those are the two that just make me so angry.

I just read that entire thread, and now I'm worried that everyone will attack me for my beliefs that I stated above, or hate me. Yes, I'm a liberal, yes, I believe W to be the worst president of my lifetime (I can't say "ever," who knows, Taft might have sucked too) but I just--can't--believe the conspiracy theories. I've looked at both sides, and the conspiracies just don't make any sense to me at all.

One more theory that doesn't make any sense to me is that the terrorists that were "supposedly" on the plane are somehow "alive and well" in the Middle East. What if it's just someone with the same name? It's like saying, "John Smith got killed in a plane crash, but oh look, there's a guy named John Smith living in Minnesota right now! It's the same name, so it must be the same person!" Names are not exclusive to one person.

7. Conspiracies
Facts are not conspiracies, you have to look at it that way, I always look at both sides
look at a lot of information, then make my decision.

These people are not conspiracy nuts

Popular Mechanics was trying to discredit everyone that questioned the official story
no matter what, they were trying to hard, and it showed.


Names, because notice how they said, within hours, Osama did it....well we dont know that yet
and they had the names of all the supposed hijackers in a day???

:hi:
