    I was big on most conspiracies so when the 9/11 one got started I was all over it. I used to try and convince people we were being visited by aliens and that alien visits were being covered up, the moon landing too. I don't believe any of that anymore. When I was younger I was easily awed and didn't take the time to look at the data from the other side. I'm passionate about the 9/11 issue now (apologize for the IDIOT comment) because most people I talk to that believe the conspiracy have done very little research and they are like me years ago; just awed by some viral videos. Around the world the percentage is much higher for those that believe America was responsible; blew up the towers, shot a missile into the Pentagon and so on and that just hits me in the gut. I don't think there is enough evidence for people to say America did this.

    Occams Razor: A bunch of pissed off Jihadists used box cutters to hijack some planes and crashed them or a massive government conspiracy (with a dumb president/administration who failed in two wars) complete with controlled demolitions and missiles and nobody involved slips up?

    The US knew about the attacks.

    I could paint this black and white, but that's only cool around here when it's racist.

    I know a young guy like yourself has the answers to all of lifes problems. I also understand you believe that all "arabs", including the ones on the planes, are scrawny, weak and stupid, thus a 12 year old could have stopped a couple of "arabs" with boxcutters taking over a plane. I am curious though, if you were on a plane and a group of scrawny guys brandish their box cutters, how would you have stopped them from detonating their alleged bomb? Or do you also possess the gift precognition?

    I get it. Tim is a veiled reference to the classic 1985 Replacements album of the same name. On said album there is a song called "Waitress in the Sky."

    In short, the flight attendants are responsible.

    no i actully dont i know arabs are smart and no there not all scrawny and weak dont see when i ever said that so dont put words in my mouth

    but when u have a plane full of people and only what like 3 or 4 with box cutters im sure the numbers win

    and how the hell does a bomb get on there ?
    hmm maybe a lil inside help
    theres no way a bomb gets on the plane without inside help
    if u belive otherwise you are a seroius idiot
    plus it was an alleged bomb no truth in it
    but by your post i see you wouldve been one of the pussys on the plane

    And the passengers were all dumb for not knowing that! By the time Flight 93 was hijacked they were able to find out through the phones that they were in a doomed flight and so they fought back.

    The banking crisis would have occurred irregardless of 911.

    I think that is the foremost crisis right now. The nation's general confidence (and Obama's approval numbers) are more aligned with the economy's performance.

    I take it you didn't know that the policy on 9/11 was to cooperate with hijackers since a commercial plane had never been used as a guided missile and in majority of hijacking cases the plane and passengers were usually saved.

    Also if you are wondering how the hell a bomb gets on a plane consider we've had guys getting bombs on in their shoes and underwear even with the enhanced security since 9/11.

    Like rocketsjudoka said a commercial plane had never been used as a guided missile and in majority of hijacking cases the plane and passengers were usually saved' People thought there safest option was to do what the hijackers said. Of course now nobody would sit and do nothing.

    Please get of the no bomb thing, they didn't know the bomb was fake.

    care to share who you used to be before your ban( if your propensity for name-calling is any indication of your posting style)

    The truthers in this thread and elsewhere have been conditioned to avoid putting forward any sort of positive theory on what happened on 9/11. This is a result of every one of their previous theories being debunked, causing great embarrassment.

    Well, I saw that same umbrella on 9/11.

    Coincidence?

    I think not.
