Want to earn big bucks? Conservatives will be reluctant.

Rule #1 on conspir"asie" theories is conspiracies fall apart they depend on humans, and humans are weak somebody will always talk and give real evidence. ie:"Deepthroat" with the watergate coverup conspiracy. You can name any other real conspiracy and will find the same thing.
Rule #2 Thoughts, ideas, memos, "running something up the flagpole to see who salutes" it is not a conspiracy it is just a thought, idea, or memo nothing more nothing less.
Rule #3 P.T. Barnum underestemated(sp?) the birth rate of suckers.
Rule#4 There are always plenty of weaklings willing to grasp onto anything that looks like others are doing things underhanded behind the scenes. Instead of seeing the underhanded stuff going on in front of their eyes. Because if they admitted to seeing the stuff going on in front of their eyes they would have to admitt they don't have what it takes to stand up for what is right and try to stop it. So it is easier for them to have some nameless bunch of "THEY" or "THEM" pulling strings behind the scenes. In believing this the weak can grasp onto some justifcation for why they sat around and did nothing. After all how can they stand up to the all powerfull behind the scenes nameless conspirators?

I like conspiracy theories. Most of them are just stupid (Illuminati breeding gray aliens at area 51, USA being led by aliens, anything else that has the word "alien" in it) and some others are less stupid. I can't think of one that sounded less stupid right now, but that's not the point.

Of 9/11 I don't know. I've always been under the impression that buildings don't collapse so nicely and neatly without using hundreds of explosive charges carefully placed around the building. And that plane looked pathetically small compared to the building and I find it surprisingly hard to believe that such a tiny mostly hollow piece of iron could destroy a massive building of that size. And no one has explained me the mysterious crater in WTC-6.

Then again, it could be that I've been playing too much Deus Ex.

Building do collapse nicely if the outer wall is providing a majority of the support, as was in the case of the World Trade Center towers. The impact of the jet knocked the flame-retardant flame off the steel inner structure and the burning jet fuel weakened the steel. Thus, the steel collapsed meaning that only the exterior wall was supporting the load...its failure was inevitable.

Iron Greasel, we're not breeding aliens at Area 51, but we are trying to reverse-engineer their technology. Where do you think we got microwave oven and integrated circuits?

No aliens? I'm kinda dissapointed. Not even the gray ones?

[Azred]

We're simply not breeding them, I didn't say we weren't working with them. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img] The language barrier is making things difficult, mind you, since contrary to popular belief the aliens aren't telepathic....
