9/11
I just thought with the 7 years since that attack happened in the US, I'd be interested to know whether the whole story still washes with you guys.

3 steel framed buildings?! I thought it was the Twin Towers because there were two of them 
It was terrible - it happened - it's in the past.
Lets just pray something like that never happens again.

Oh no ! Not the conspiracies about 911 !
Nothing like that has ever happened before so when the towers fell it was shocking, when have two planes ever gone into two huge towers like this ? I cant believe that the US or that were behind it which some conspiracy nuts seem to think.
If it wasnt Al Quaeda then you know 100% that Bin Laden and his cronies would be saying to the world 'the US did it, its nothing to do with us', they could easily tell Al Jazeera or other journalists that.
Do the crazy Al Quaeda gang say that ? Nope ! The only people who are saying that are the people with way too much time on their hands to read nut-job conspiracies that the US government were behind it etc.
In the old days you wouldnt hear much from these nuts but because of the net any person can now set up a page to say 'the US are behind....' and put a ton of ridiculous reasons why they are etc.
I've read a few of the conspiracy stuff and some makes you think 'damn what if' but you can write any stuff like that , look at the nuts who believe the earth is flat (I went to their forum and its quite scary the way they go on about non-believers !).
But IF the US government were behind it you know instantly Bin Laden and his gang would be planting the whole 'your government is corrupt, they did that to the towers....' mularky but nope, they planned it and were happy as hell with the chaos they caused. If the US planted explosives or that you know someone would be going to the media for sure, they cant keep it a secret that Monica whatshername was having sex with Clinton, but they can keep it secret about a huge secret mission about blowing up the towers just as some loon flies a plane into the twin towers ? Come on.
I think its very disrespectful to the 1000's of people who died when people talk like this.

I dont agree with this at all, so i believe 'what i'm told' so i'm not brainy ? However a lot of the nuts who believe its a huge conspiracy arent crazy and instead are on the 'higher scale' ? Come on. 9/11 is a conspiracy theorists wet dream.R. Prime wrote:It baffles me how sometimes smart people don't think very hard about what they're told.

Controversial.
I think that whatever you views on this situation (and people's views differ vastly it seems), the main thing to remember here is that a huge amount of people lost their lives in a horrible. horrible way and that their surviving relatives are still suffering now. I think that in respect of that, maybe it isn't such a good idea to dredge this subject up and turn it into a conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy theories about 9/11 are the worst and most disrespectful thing ever, IMHO. I'd also enjoy not being told I'm stupid simply because I believe that 9/11 was as seen. In fact, the conspiracy theorists are the stupid ones (sorry Prime, but this includes you).
For example, to explain some of their 'facts' is very easy. They believe that windows exploding just before the collapse means that it was explosives however what about the fact that several independent sources have said thata couple of floors collapsed due to structural weaknesses just before the collapse which in turn brought the buildings down, and funny enough, broke some windows outwards on these particular floors?
Yeah, explain that away, 'smart' boy.

This is also complete and utter lies. Can I see a source please?US military patented explosives, such as those evident in the projected dust, were used to demolish the 3 world trade centre buildings.

You hear the same rubbish all the time "Cant you have your own opinions, do you have to listen to others" when i've heard nuts go on about 911 being a conspiracy and me not believing them.
As i said on the 'the world is flat forum' its quite scary actually reading the way these idiots go on about 'non believers' and make us sound the mental ones !
But yeah the comment about us not being 'smart' by R.Prime did censored me off because we dont believe the nutters.
