a professor of the university of Wisconsin told his students that 911 was an inside job, what do you think?

Answer 1

I think that professors out of his mind

Answer 2

The previous answers concerning the professor's sanity are a little unnecessary; the belief is a legitimate one. While I don't know too much about the conspiracy theories admittedly, I know enough to be able to say that there are plausible reasons for such theories to exist.

When you say "inside job," I'll assume you mean that the professor believes 9/11 was a set-up by the US government for whatever reasons. If you want to know more, there are plenty of sites and documentaries available. Try 'Loose Change' for some pretty convincing stories: http://www.loosechange911.com/ It should also be available on Google Video.

Answer 3

By inside job what does he mean, that the people that did it had help from the airlines, the government, or what? I mean there are all kinds of conspiracy theory's out there but this sound like the professor is out of his mind. But then professors have been doing this for a long time. Does he believe Santa Claus is gay, Elvis is alive, dogs live on the moon, or any other crazy things?

Answer 4

I think the professor is just trying to keep everyones' mind open to different interpretations. We shouldn't as American citizens blindly accept the word of Government. It is our job to question the administration, especially when there are legitimate questions to ask. Many things on 9/11 don't add up, and to be labled a nutcase for voicing those concerns is wrong. For example, they gave us the names of the 20 or so hijackers that supposedly hit the towers and died, but 9 of those alleged hijackers are still alive living in the Middle East. There are so many questions about 9/11, and I think we need to start asking them.

Answer 5

If a prof told his students that was a theory going round (a theory, of course, which is impossible to prove and which holds precious little water), that would be one thing; if he told his students that he *believed* it was a conspiracy, that's another. But to tell them that it *was* an inside job, laying the idea out as data that they would be held accountable for, that's terribly irresponsible.

Answer 6

It's one thing to say it's possible. That makes students think.

But to say it did happen that way, with no supporting evidence, that's a blatant lie. The problem is that it takes an act of god to remove a tenured professor.

Answer 7

I think that professor is putting himself in danger. I am sure that the colleges and universities are being watched. In any kind of governmental takeover, it is the intellectual dissenter who meets up with strange accidents. Espcially if s/he makes valid arguments

Answer 8

It is entirely possible. There has been much debate and controversy over this topic. a simple search on yahoo for 'wtc explosives' will bring up a plethora of results. I'd like to recommend one site as well:

Fascinating stuff, really.

Answer 9

Unfortunately there are more professors out there as nutty as he is!

Answer 10

he must be a professor of hypothesis.
