    No it's not. Ever hear of MK-ULTRA? Do you know what happened at the Ludlow colony? Have you read the Behavioral Science Teacher Education Project? These aren't conspiracies, these are facts. They were never covered up, they were simply forgotten about. If the United States government was capable of mind-control and massacre 60+ years ago, they were more than capable of at least allowing this to happen.

    Define us. It makes perfect sense for the government to do it for example.

    I wasn't saying we weren't capable. I was saying that the idea that the government was the one who carried out the attacks just doesn't make sense.

    Yeah it does. Sacrificing 3000 people in order to get your hands on a ton of oil is a pretty sound trade if you ask me.

    One problem. Of all places to invade, then why Afganistan? They don't have that much oil, last I checked.

    Conspiracy theories in general are almost always stupid. You know there is a conspiracy theory that we didn't go to the moon.

    Never mind that we've already proven all those theories wrong.

    I have to say though, I applaud these people for actually taking the time to look at the broad picture and take hours to dumb everything down for people to a point where they ignore just about every significant detail. That just takes stupidity on a wholly new level to manage to go through all that while being completely blind to everything that disproves their theory.

    A few pages back we were arguing over the dropping of the atomic bombs. That argument ended in the last page. Stop trying to weasel your way out of this.

    You mean my source for Afganistan casualties? Here it is: http://www.unknownnews.net/casualties.html
    Now, I'd like to hear your answer.
    Update: No Answer? What a shame.

    Let's see...

    Attack on Pear Harbor: 2,402 killed, 1,247 wounded in a surprise attack that put us in to a world war. We care about it for like 4 years then 80% of the people i know have no idea what 12/7/1941 was.

    9/11: 2,996 killed, used as an excuse to start a plethora of Middle Eastern Invasions: something unforgivable and unforgettable.

    What is this i don't even. The Casualties in 9/11 were more, but i mean...seriously. Just because we have something happen to us and the people who did it just happened to be Muslims, doesn't mean we have to lay waste to the Muslim world, one Oil-filled country at a time. Plus, we get launched into the largest war in human history in pearl harbor, and it seems no one cares anymore.

    Military Target.
    Civilian Target,
    I dont see how the invasion of Afghanistan was unforgivable and unforgettable. Osama Bin Laden was hiding out in Afghanistan. You can make an argument for Iraq, but I still dont see how the invasions were unforgiveable. When you are attacking terrorists in Afghanistan who purposely blend in civilians, civilians are gonna die.

    i wasn't saying the invasions were unforgivable. i was saying that people see 9/11 as something unforgivable and unforgetable, which in my opinion is blowing it way out of proportion.

    Plus, Iraq was bullshit.
