Hate to say it, but the argument goes both ways. Actually, your argument hurts your position more than it helps. The arguments of the conspericay people does not hold up under logic. It is the Conspiracy people who have to present thier evidence.AdamEcks wrote:
The American ego is a wonderful, complicated thing. I'm not even going to begin to argue with all you ignorant closed minded individuals because I would be here for an hour pointing out the hundreds of flaws in everything you say. If you have "proof" it wasn't a conspiracy please, provide your source so we can all see the "truth" and agree with you. What's that? The only source you have is your brain... how unfortunate. If you are too ignorant to even watch the video or consider the opinions of others than you don't even deserve to be posting here. Is it a conspiracy or did the government tell the truth? The only thing I know there is somewhere along the line something was covered up, I don't know how big or small but something was covered up, something always is with any government. Conspiracy? Maybe, maybe not. The video was lacking proof and background to some of the stuff it said, but other stuff was completely reasonable and justified. The fact remains, there is little proof released to confirm what the government is telling you, and at least the video tries to justify what it says. Watch the video, watch it very closely. There are a lot of you who have to revise what you said because it's 100% made up and pulled out of your ass. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusion, because honestly (sorry to hurt your ego by the way) you havn't a clue what your talking about, no one here does including myself. There is no way that anyone here can know exactly everything that happened so all you egotistical morons who think you do are just going to have to suck it up. If you are going to stand up strongly for one particular opinion you better have some proof to back it up. Don't just reference CNN or some video that some kid made. Sorry, you don't know all the facts.
Occams Razor: when two arguments are possible, the more simple is usually the correct answer.
I was an active duty soldier during 9/11. I served in Iraq in Iraq in 2003. I also served in Bosnia in 1996, 1997, and 1998. My sister was flying from France to the US on 9/11. I may have a bit of perspective on some of this. The official goverment report squares with everything I have heard first hand or from other military personel. Every bit of 'proof' I hear from conspiracy theorists so far has been bunk. They either mis-identify something, or get simple matters of physics wrong. They ignore and misrepresent details.
Also, many people complain about 'typical american arrogance.' True, many Americans are arrogant. Many are even conceited. Americans are not perfect. I never claimed otherwise. Many Americans make assumptions about other countries based on what they see on tv, or what they hear, and filter that through the assumptions and value systems of their county.
Just like you do when you look at America.
I am arrogant. Just ask anyone I know. Ask my old army buddies. Put me on a subject I know, and I am arrogant as hell. Arrogance is when you have the ability to back it up. Conceit is when you don't. I am willing to be gracious and admit if and when I don't know as much about a subject.
Anyone else here, American or otherwise, willing to admit the same?
