How do you silence the 9/11 conspiracist?

Question

I can't belive the same tired points are not resolved and still being debated, in my houseee no less, no plane found at Pennsylvania site, no prop engine found at Pentagon, no record of terrorists on plane. What's the best succinct argument to counter this rubbish. I usually just ask, how is Government/media telling public that Flight 93 crashes in Pennsylvania than not putting plane there, go to supporting their cover up?

or kids use it on their parents

If Jesus came down from the sky and said, "Oswald acted alone," there would be some guy saying,"what the hell does he know" People like conspiracies because it's a more interesting story, and in this particular case of 9/11 the conspiracy makes it alot easier to fix and deconstruct as oppose to just some random act of madness

Answer 1

The thing I usually say is that hundreds of servicepeople would have had to knowingly obey orders that resulted in the deaths of 3000 innocent Americans. In my 20 years of service I never met any member of the Armed Forces that would obey that sort of order.

Answer 2

You have to answer their questions with factual, logical answers. This might require some research, or, you can ask what the answer is here on Yahoo.

Here's are some answers for some points you raised:

Actually, multiple planes parts were found in Shanksville, an engine fan being the largest piece found (Pop Mech, “Debunking 9/11”, p. 87).

For the Pentagon, there are numerous photographs of large pieces of the plane, many of these were published in the newspapers. Here’s a nice picture:

(scroll down after clicking)

For both the Pentagon & Shanksville, the planes were pulverized because of the following:

FACT: High speed plane impacts cause unbelievable destruction of the plane and its contents.

Greg Feith, former senior investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), says this (utter destruction) is typical. Feith says that in 1997, a high speed plane crash In Sumatra left nothing more than a tire carcass and engine-parts the size of a pot lid. (Pop. Mech., “Debunking 9/11,” p. 87-88)

Forensics text books say the same thing. In “Medico-legal Investigation of Death" by Spitz & Fisher, 2nd ed., page 411, it says:

"With the crash of modern jet planes, even in the absence of extensive fire, the high speeds of impact lead to disintegration of the aircraft and the passengers within."

Answer 3

yeah it consistently pisses me off. And it is not thinking the government, it rather is the reality that they corrupt the events of this tragedy and shame the memory of each physique who died interior the call of their warped good judgment and methods. including to the shame is the reality that their good judgment/reasoning is often wrong! you will think of those with the type of time you will could could fret/think of approximately those products over each little thing else in life (in spite of the incontrovertible fact that no credentials) would a minimum of decide for to get their information immediately.... case in point (as walker spoke of) the homes collapsing using fact the fires have been given so warm they melted/weakened the beams. Any chemistry instructor or foundry worker can back that good judgment up definitely...and yet conspiracy nuts think of it became demolition using fact they fell similarly to truly demolition...i'd decide for to comprehend how they anticipate homes to fall...did they only anticipate them to blow up 0.5 way down like the chrysler construction in Deep impact? they are good judgment is so wrong at situations it rather is laughable, the best/worst one i've got heard is the single with regard to the paper/debris from flight ninety 3 present in indian lake some miles from the crash web site, and how they are announcing it rather is like 9 miles away which makes it impossible to be there. i won't be in a position to keep in mind each and all of the info of the argument, however the humorous element is it quite is 9 miles away if youchronic, reason lots of the conspiracy nuts have been given their distances from MAPQUEST....going using fact the crow flys (in a immediately line) it rather is like 2-3 max,lol

Answer 4

Just tell them there is a war against Christmas.

They will then have a new conspiracy theory to champion.
After that gets old, mention The Liberal Media.
That will keep them going for a long time.

Answer 5

Even my little nephew thought about leaving the broken lamp on the floor after dropping it, so that his mama could find peaces and stick them together.. Show me a piece that resembles a part of a plane in Pennsylvania..!!

Answer 6

They are what they are, I have provided many sources to debunk this issue in the past. What a waste of time trying to educate the stupid. Even Bill Clinton gave one of these wackos a piece of his mind, saying "HOW DARE YOU...!!!". The best thing to do is just ignore them. Give the rant what it deserves NO attention, after all that's all they want is attention. I believe they were not breast feed as babys, not enough hugs as a child. Just laugh at the absurd and move on down the line to a real question and or answer.

Answer 7

Tune it out - 40 years later we still hear the Kennedy/Marylin Monroe conspiracy thing, 10 years later still hearing about Princess Diana. If it was or wasn't we can't change what happened so, TUNE IT OUT!

Answer 8

You need to talk to them just like you would a Repub, slowly and with very small words.

Treat them like you would a child who wants a treat, just tell them "no" and continue on with your day. Don't worry about trying to talk sense into them, like members of the GOP, most are very uneducated and slow...

Answer 9

Pass something called a Patriot Act that superceedes the Constitution.

Answer 10

Ignore them would be best.. but some of the "Truthers" are dangerous... When one allows a fantasy to become reality to ones self... that becomes a form on insanity... and no one can predict what the insane will do.
