Again it is a nice claim that suits you narrative, but it's just a claim.
I don't want it to be true because of what that would mean the Government did to their own people, but if there was any evidence to support that it is true then I'm on board.
But you need the evidence, nut just videos from people who are sure, but don't have proof, of it.
That's the thing, so very many times it has to be repeated, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Conspiracy opinion is not evidence.
You realise that right?
Extraordinary claims of the official story require extraordinary evidence - we don't have that.
Actually Sad you have a condition called "cognitive dissonance".
You've failed occam's razor, but that aside, I'm not making a claim of either story.
I don't stand by either side of the argument. One side is more plausible than the other, but there are holes in that official story. I don't pretend the official story isn't without it's problems and that parts of it don't make sense.
BUT, to use the questioning of the official story as proof that the alternative conspiracy is true, that's just not right.
It still requires extraordinary evidence, or ANY evidence for that matter. Misunderstanding of the facts or drawing wildly inaccurate conclusions because of a lack of understanding is not enough.
The number of people that would have had to be involved in a conspiracy of this size, and they've all kept quiet after all this time, that is far less plausible than the official story, hence the requirement of evidence.
Just because I'm not as quick as you to believe the conspiracy you're all in with does not mean I support the competing account of events.
I understand the science of much of what was involved and how parts of the official explanation are totally plausible despite common sense, or more actually "lay thinking or ignorance, disguised as common sense" but the incompetence of all the agencies involved to let these rank amateurs slip through the cracks is almost, almost, unthinkable.
But now we have Trump telling us how bad they are, it sounds more plausible. (jokes)
All it takes is one or two to slip through the cracks.
The Flight Training company at the time were happy to take the hihackers money and probably thought these silly arabs are just here for fun, of course take off and landing doesn't matter to them, who cares?
But in hindsight, or if the same thing was to happen now, that would send off huge alarm bells to everyone, staff, trainers and other students alike.
But we didn't think like that before.
I know as a Trump supporter, your world view has a chance of being infected with the "with me or against me" mentality, but try to rise above it.
You can talk about cognitive dissidence all you like, but I don't think you really understand the concept and are attempting to sound smarter than you actually are.
I've never said that I believe the official story, more so that I question the outlandish and unproven claims that the conspiracy theorists push as the alternative.
But I also question parts of the Official story too.
I'm only here because Light was trying to tie 9/11 to Mueller because he's shitting himself that Trump is going to be found guilty so he like all the other petrified Trump supporters are trying to discredit him by any means necessary. It's poor form, but I'd expect no less from such scum.
It's like Light in the UFO threads. He posts grainy out of focus video of what is likely a balloon in the sky then claims it's a UFO, and then from there claims it's Aliens.
The object is unidentified, to him, so the discussion should stop there. Making the jump from "I don't know" to "It must be aliens" is very similar to "I don't believe the official story, therefore the conspiracy must be true".
No.
It needs to be true, not true by default.
A healthy dose of skepticism is important, but taking it too far into the realm of paranoia and conspiracy is worse than accepting the official story blindly.
