    Not like it really matters, but each error that the OP things is proof of fakery is actually indicative of artifacts from over-compression of image files. Go browse old Geocities pages, and you'll see the same things repeated over and over. The OP might as well be saying that the photos are faked, because if you look at the outline of their heads they is choppy and pixilated, not smooth lines like a normal person.

    As such this is a perfect example of the stupid arrogance of 9/11 truthers. They think they can look at a photograph and somehow auger through their own amazing intellect exactly how a building is supposed to look when collapsed by an airplane, or what a 747 would really look like when it crashed into the Pentagon.

    Arrogance of the moronic. Self-confidence ploys in public schools, like telling everybody their opinion is relevant no matter how stupid it is, seems to have severely backfired on society.

    The points in Unfastened Coins where they hit a toy boat with an ice cube in a bathtub to "show" that the Titanic couldn't have been sunk by an iceberg is a perfect parody of this idiocy.

    What it sounds like here is if I had taken the pictures posted in the opening post, and saved them to my computer and then uploaded them to tinypic so now one could see where I got them from, and asked for your opinions as to if they appear to be edited, most of you would agree?

    But the fact that these pictures are of people that died on the 9/11 attacks offends people to the core to which they can not offer an opinion on the appearance of their pictures?

    I think the problem with most of you is you're not even willing to take one second to let the smallest bit of wonder roam your mind that what we have been told what happened on 9/11 really happened.

    Do this many people really trust our government who has proven not to be trustworthy?

    I'm so confused. If I don't respond to this thread until morning it's because I have work tonight but tomorrow I'll chime in again.

    One more thing I'd like to say is in my opinion instead of this being a disgrace to the people that did lose their lives, couldn't this as well be looked at as an honor to them?

    Shouldn't we keep searching for answers to the many of questions out there to find out if something in fact did happen other then what we were told? If I had lost a loved one that day because of these attacks, I would not be satisfied with the lack of investigation of this crime and the lack of answers we were given. So what I'm doing is trying to put a few clues together to come up with answers to the unanswered right now... right?

    Now I'm confused...you post pictures requesting opinions about the authenticity/quality of them, which alludes to you not being an expert in photo editing software (like Photoshop).

    Then with this most recent post, disregarding the ridiculous claims about the government, you essentially are defending your viewpoint about the photos definitely being altered, which somehow gives proof to there being a conspiracy?

    It's easy for anyone to have an opinion without citing facts, but it is always best to have an informed opinion. Just curious: do you have trust issues in your life?

    I get that you really are this bumblingly obtuse. When I looked at them the first time, I thought to myself, "Well, he just doesn't know the first thing about image compression", but your ignorance wasn't particularly offensive. But when it became clear that you were making ignorant statements about people who died tragically, in order to make up bull**** about how they didn't die tragically that's when it becomes extremely offensive. Especially so because the answers you wanted were total rookie image compression answers that anybody who designed a half-assed Geocities website a decade ago could tell you. It is ridiculously spurious accusation based on your "evidence".

    There is a difference between telling a dirty joke about a hypothetical situation and telling a dirty joke about skull****ing the corpse of your mother who died from cancer last year. That is the difference you don't seem to get here.

    The solution is to go to the library and check out a couple of books on lossy compression and photographic CCD's to check your facts before you say something offensive.

    I have no idea what is giving you that impression. As somewhat of a Photoshop expert (I used to mod NBA Live games for what used to be nbalive.org), it is clearly pixelation that comes from image compressing/decompressing.

    Don't you think the US government could find better photoshoppers?

    Just look around ClutchFans for goodness' sake. Or do you really believe Dada's decapitated head is being deployed in the Gulf of Mexico right now?
