The path of least resistance....
People need to understand that if anything
The path of least resistance is not straight through the building itself.
So many people are aloof to this for some reason.Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Oh-kay ...
when someone calls the Bush Administration inept, they aren't saying that the Bush Admin is incapable of doing anything. They're saying the Bush Admin is incapable of rightfully taking care of this country in the right way.
The Bush Admin has been capable of getting away with SO much shit that you don't even know about... in fact, it almost looks like you don't even care to know about this kind of shit... you're one of those people who says "let's not dwell on the past, but look to the future..." :rolleyes:0 -

but please don't fill them up with 50% garbage claims and say people can pick whatever they think is true...
The fact of the matter is that, no matter WHAT, you cannot logically say "I don't think 9/11 is an inside job," because, in the end, you have no proof to support that. Just like how people who think there is more to 9/11 than you see in the news, you also HAVE to think that, because there are just soooo many unanswered questions. it just makes no sense to quickly debunk anything.
If you're so fucking interested, why don't you do your own research and come up with YOUR OWN theories? because it looks to me that all you wanted to do here was prove a simple point from the beginning, and I really don't think you came in with an open mind. It looks like you were just expecting people's arguments and had responses made up before you even posted this thread.
I don't have to answer your question with my own theory because it's just a theory. But you can't actually say that you don't think there's much more to 9/11. And you can't actually say that it's impossible for the Bush Admin to carry this out. What's 4000 people dead? The Bush Administration is responsible for MILLIONS of other deaths worldwide, and you think 4000 deaths on US soil is so hard to believe? The Bush Administration has no problem SPYING on US citizens, throwing them in jail unjustly, and torturing MANY people.... you think killing a few thousand with some airplanes is really a big deal to them?and you should read the last page...I made some pretty profound points;)0 -
What I don't get, is if the US DID plan, and pull off 9/11..
Then why couldn't they plant a WMD? If they had that, they could do whatever the hell they wanted the rest of their years.Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way.

I'm just saying Bush is obviously an idiot, right? So how could he possibly pull off the biggest scam in the history of scams?

This is another excellent point.
They had no problem killing thousands of their own citizens. No moral qualms there. But when it came to framing Saddam, all of a sudden they couldn't or wouldn't pull it off?

That's because you can't prove a negative.

The point is that you can't prove it was terrorists either when the facts don't match up.0 -

Maybe someone else here would have an answer for that.0 -

Except for, you know, the terrorists on the plane. And all the shit Al Qaeda blew up before 9.11. And their fucking confession.
There's a logical principle called Ockham's razor that has been used by logicians for centuries. It states: The simplest answer is usually the correct answer.
If I've got Al Queda claiming to have blown up the building they already tried to blow up before, that they've been threatening to blow up for a decade ... that seems to be the simplest answer.
Anything else, and I'm going to have to see some actual proof, and not paranoid, wild-eyed conjecture on the Internet.everybody wants the most they can possibly get

Who am I insulting? There are plenty of people who really will invent you something out of mid-air. This point has been brought up often on threads such as these. And guess what? Someone ALWAYS invents something out of air to try and answer the question.

nobody wrote:oh, there you are:)
anything "sober" to add?;)
m.
By the way, just to avoid misinterpretation and accusation of arrogance... I know you're using the term "sober" in its original Latin origin - that is, serious, moderate, etc.
As fellow non-native English speaker that is apparent to me (along with the irony), but it might not be so to English-speaker where the most common meaning of sober is not intoxicated by alcohol.
Just thought to clarify it!0 -
_outlaw wrote:not really. You keep saying things like they're facts, when really it's just opinion. You can't actually PROVE that it's impossible for a couple thousand people to be incredibly powerful in this world.
giving (valid) examples from history where people fail miserable in even controlling their own country(while they have much more means for it than the US admin or their masters to do so) is much more evidence than any of you guys put here to support your opinions ot theories. and I'm talking about controlling in the sense that you mean it, not in the sense of governing. everyone who believes 1000 people can controll earth in its entiretly, nobody noticing except a few Cosp. Theorists who can say this without anything happening to them and making a shitload of cash with giving lectures and selling books...is up to believe everything...
just like those guys who follow Erich von Daeniken who claims major sites like the pyramides were built by aliens...the guy makes a living of this crap...but hey...I can't disprove it...must be true...maybe it was god...or Darth Vader...or maybe me? CAN YOU DISPROVE IT?
don't you see how hard it is to even control this stupid little forum???;)
as I said: you can claim EVERYTHING...the burden of proof is on your side then...and claiming something that can't be disproved, is not being right: it's making up stories, like religions or...well conspiracy theories...
I really suggest for people (and I know I sound like a dick) instead of reading demolition textbooks and looking at clouds of dust, get yourself some serious history, economy, or social science literature...and well...sit down for a while...

Actually, people who believe only the great USA is capable of pulling something like this off are following the path of least resistance...
at the core of this seems to be the believe that (whether you're an american or not) america can only be harmed if
a) it let's it happen or
b) they do it themselves...
and at the core of this seems to be the believe that america actually is in control of the world...I know it's a superpower...but that doesn't mean it (or its proverbial puppet masters) can control each and everything in the world...america doesn't run the show...it's only a main contributor...
so get off your ego-trips (or paranoia, if you're not american) and accept that fact that contrary to us propaganda...there are also some other pretty influencial humans...
Americans, get a grip, and step back to look at the world for a while...what role America plays in it, how some people might really hate it so much to do such unbelievable things as 911...how others are standing loyal and what their reasons are...Americans should finally realize that they live on planet earth not on planet america, and that they are intertwined with other countries in manyfold ways...and that yes...the actions of other people than americans can have consequences for america...even people in a cave with boxcutters...
you can blame the federal reserve for the weak dollar no problem...of course an american institution...
but maybe, only maybe loaning billions of dollars from China has a little something to do with it...and thus inflating the money supply in the country way above the supply of goods -> INFLATION, you know..
blaming THE MAN, or THE ONE HUNDRED isn't doing anything helpful in solving REAL problems...they divert...and the most positive contribution they can make I guess, is zero...

one last thing...
opinions...actually can be called garbage...if they are uninformed...and without any veryfiable chain of reasoning...
I can have the opinion I'm not ill and tell the doctor many times...yet, he would be right to call my opinion garbage when in fact I have terminal cancer...
