Don't you find it odd that because the foolish questions of the truthers "aren't being addressed" (they have been, but part of asking questions is listening to answers; it's a two step process) leads you to see that as "suspicious"? Do you not see how ridiculous you're being?

Extraordinary events don't necessarily have extraordinary causes. It sucks...but it's reality.

Also, if you were aiming for platinum hair, try double processing next time.

A fundamental logical principle that is the main fallacy being committed with these claims: Correlation does not imply causation.

Bush and Cheney didn't respond to these allegations because they're fringe beliefs held by a minority of society. Them acknowledging said allegations would only focus more attention on it and make a complete media shit storm. They didn't choose not to publicly deny it because they're hiding something - they chose not to publicly deny it because to do so would be a fucking stupid publicity move, guilty OR innocent.

In fairness those kids ARE ass holes.

You have video tapes of flights 11 and 175 slamming into the towers. AND you need VIDEO to prove 77 slammed into the pentagon?? THEY PULLED BODY PARTS out of the pentagon and DNA matched them to the passengers on the manifest (same with flight 93). If they introduced any video you idiots would question its authenticity for the next ten years. See where this is going? There's no such thing as proof with you nimrods, because you won't believe ANYTHING.

@euyfdvfhj If they released the footage it would debunk almost all conspiracy theroies.The US government has been involved in endless coverups over the years, that is just a fact. The twin towers is debatable - the pentagon incident is simple science. There is no way the 2 engines can burn up and they aren't visable in the wreckage. There is very limited damage, no way it would be like that if it was hit by a plane of that size imo.

[euyfdvfhj]

@tcarling Because they don't need to? Because people accept that this is nonsense, presumably. I'm sure there's a reason all the footage is clasified, and if they can't provide anything valid then obviously that arouses conspiracy theorists. Anyhow, the government ignore this crap...if they were hiding something surely they would probably fight against conspiracies? And the loose change documentaty blinds you with facts and figures, half of which seem false...

[tcarling]

@euyfdvfhj it was close to it. Not sure the twin towers was a conspiracy but I think the pentagon story does seem like a lot of bullshit and they are lying about something. If it is how the government says and as they have videos of it, why not just release one?

@tyleryesta1 So I should let you tell me whats what instead? No.
