Why are some people so disgusting? These 9/11 conspiracy theorists make me sick.?

Question

To listen to some of these conspiracies and then watching a show on history channel, some of the things these conspiracy theorists try to use as evidence are sickening and just plain bull. These are the Patti Sheehans, who could honestly look her son in the eye and tell him he died for nothing. Thats just plain sickening. These people should just keep whatever they have to complain about to themselves, and not involve everyone else in contrived ideas just because they feel bad about themselves and their own lives. What do you think? Conspiracy? No?

This has nothing to do with politicians, we all know they are all crooked. However, the idea that they could live with killing that many people to go to war or for any other reason is just plain rediculous.

And also, when i say people shouldnt speak their minds, im not meaning never. But the things they try to use in the particular theory are disgusting. Faked phone calls to family? Purposely detonating buildings? Come on now.

and about that sheehan lady. im not talking about her mourning her son, im talking about these people that protest at the funerals of fallen soldiers. how can you be so disrespectful? is that not sickening to anyone but me?

to that last answer, answer number 10, i am saying i am against the conspiracy theories diphead. learn how to read.

Answer 1

I just saw the same show as you ... and was inspired to post a similar question.

I love the fact that the makers of "Loose Change" are now revamping their film to exclude some of their more controversial claims. I guess they're part of the conspiracy now.

You might want to check out Vincent Bugliosi's new book, "Reclaiming History." It's really good and debunks all the conspiracy theories related to the JFK assassination.

I'll be perfectly honest - I WANT to believe in conspiracy theories, just like I WANT to believe in god, UFOs and the Loch Ness Monster. But I'm rational enough to understand that the physical evidence for any and all of these things simply isn't there ... and until it is, I have to remain respectfully skeptical.

But yes, I agree with you. The really sad thing about conspiracy theorists is how they detract from thoughtful, rational criticism of the Bush administration and U.S. foreign policy.

Answer 2

Suppose there really were a conspiracy - a _good_ conspiracy. Ask yourself this question: "Would I respond to an actual conspiracy that I didn't know was a conspiracy in the same way I'm responding to this?"

I don't believe the conspiracy theories, either. But even a cursory examination of human history should be enough to tell you that human governments and men craving power are more than easily capable of committing such atrocities. So while I don't believe the conspiracy theories, I also don't believe that we should ever seek to silence them. Conspiracy theorists will almost always be wrong, but it will only be that type of person who uncovers a _real_ conspiracy. They're vital to a healthy society - don't be sickened by them, just let them do their thing and remain unconvinced. Refute them if you wish, there's certainly nothing wrong with that. But letting them make you nauseous - that's an overreaction in my book (ymmv). At worst, you should be mildly annoyed and very vocal about your opinion in the matter. Look at conspiracies to have occurred in ages past - you will see that they're much more common than you might like to admit, and that John Q. Public - i.e., people like you and me - are fooled by them all the time.

I don't believe it's a conspiracy, but also don't _know_ that it isn't. That approach in other affairs is a pretty useful one to take in life, at least for some people.

Answer 3

I practically die from laughter every time I read one of these 9/11 conspiracy posts. Your conspiracy theories are so half-baked it is laughable. If you want a point by point rebuttal of the loose screw documentary "Loose Change" and other loony theories go to popularmechanics.com. Or watch the 9/11 conspiracy show on the History Channel.

Oh wait, the History Channel is a illuminati freemason jewish fascist psy-ops operation, and so is popular mechanics. And wait, I almost forgot, so am I, I am on their bankroll, and I have a computer chip implanted in the back of my head so that I will do their bidding.

My final point is that the common 9/11 conspiracy theorist rarely is able to understand basic science, especially physics. Have you ever heard of pancaking? If the support beams in a skyscraper heat up enough to weaken them (not melt) fail, and just one floor collapses, it creates a MASSIVE amount of energy falling to the ground, and then the building collapses downward floor by floor. The massive amount of air leaving the building as floors collapsed caused the dirt and debris to vacate very quickly. This debris is what conspiracy theorists point to as "evidence" of explosives. Nope, actually evidence of a textbook skyscraper collapse.

Go back to school and study engineering, then come back and we'll see if you are still a conspiracy theorist.

Oh wait, the History Channel is a illuminati freemason jewish fascist psy-ops operation, and so is popular mechanics. And wait, I almost forgot, so am I, I am on their bankroll, and I have a computer chip implanted in the back of my head so that I will do their bidding. Foiled again by the Bush Administration.

(Its also funny that conspiracy theorists think that the government is that competent and well-organized.)

Answer 4

If our government were more fair and honest with the public, people wouldn't feel the need to investigate conspiracies. Are you suggesting we should never investigate or theorize or question the government? We should just turn a blind eye and let them do as they will? I suppose what you are saying is what we don't know won't hurt us. Not that I believe this particular theory, but I feel people like these are necessary in order to keep our government on its toes. What I think is discusting is Bush claims he is fighting this war in the name of God. Since when has any politician been honest enough to know God? You don't get where Bush is at being full of honesty and integrity. Sorry, but I call em like I see em. Clinton was no better, they are all liars.

Answer 5

I am with you 100%. I have a niece and a nephew who are in harms way as we speak. I will tell you something else, it's Cindy Sheehan by the way, her son died fighting for something that he believed in and she should be proud of him. He would probably be very hurt to know that his mom is acting the way she is. Now, in her defense, as the mother of an only son I would have to admit that while I WOULD not blame Bush (or any other sitting President during war time) I can see that she is doing what she is doing out of profound pain and loss that are too hard for her to handle. She has snapped her rocker. Other conspiracy theorist are just crazy.

Answer 6

don't be talking smack about patty sheehan, she has lost a child, i pray that never happens to you. she is grieving in her way, believe it or not, and she would NOT tell her son he died for nothing, that is just wrong to say.
for me, it depends on what conspiracy you're talking about. do i think israel had any role in 9/11. of course not. do i think bush planned it as another pearl harbor so we could go to war? no, i don't.

but do i think bush used the event to sell an unrelated war in iraq that he wanted anyway? why yes i do. and do i think that bush allowed the saudi royal family and members of the bin laden family to fly out of the country, when every other nonmilitary plane was grounded? yes, that is fact.
i don't know what theories ms. sheehan is spouting, but the idea that this was has been a mistake, has been bad for the US and the world, still needs to be said, and is something some of us have been saying for years.

Answer 7

I think if our various departments worked together, perhaps it could have been avoided, but we'll never know and I seriously doubt it. Conspiracy? no way.
Our soldiers do not make policy. They deserve all the respect and support we can give them for doing a dangerous job. Something good may come from this yet.

Answer 8

thank you!!! I even have been asserting that for years! additionally, if Iraq replaced into all a hoax, why did not Bush & co PLANT WMDs in Iraq? you comprehend, if human beings suggested Bush replaced into mistaken and not as much as the pastime, they could get lots greater help than they do while they say he's evil, grasping, a liar, etc. They paint themselves right into a corner, and lose the argument. anybody is disenchanted on the dealing with of the conflict, and it confirmed in the elections. yet i think of the Democrats could have won in 2004 in the event that they did not provide in the the Michael Moore kook crowd.

Answer 9

No, the question should be; Why are some people so mind boxed in and dependent on propaganda puppets and talking heads such as media and government?

Answer 10

people have a right to thier opinion. i don't know why people like you agree with the politions when they lie all the time on what they are going to do to make america better. all they did is make it worse. just because they are christians doesn't mean that they are perfect or have moral ground.
