Too many people would have to keep it a secret...

Anyone can cherry-pick history to validate any modern fictitious motive, it's tenuous, lazy stuff.

Most on this forum will know the usual post-WW2/Cold war stuff about the US (Nwoods, Tonkien, MKultra, etc) because they are dredged every time as "evidence" of completely unrelated contrived conspiracies or the "motives" of completely different administrations in the modern era.

It's the equivalent to someone "warning" that Germany could theoretically invade France again because they've done it, twice, in the past.

No, you are missing my points entirely.

This thread has so far mentioned the space program being fake, and 9/11 being an inside job. It comes across like you are suggesting that an event like 9/11 being an inside job was possible/plausible because you maintain that US administrations have no issue "killing their own citizens" because of certain Cold War events, correct or no?

No one presented this argument though.

You've admitted this.

Why respond to an argument no one made?

Many countries have been involved in conflicts and sent people off to war, why does that systematically mean they would no qualms carrying out a treasonous inside plot to kill thousands of their own citizens?

Yup. That's the singular example he's using to claim that our argument is that the US government is unwilling to kill people.

It's been explained to him several times. He'll just ignore you if you tell him that isn't your position either.

It's no that he doesn't understand, he's being deliberately dishonest and evasive. Ironically much like the Trumpishs and 9/11 truthers.

Watergate started and ended with evidence. A real crime was committed. A money trail was followed. People with knowledge of the goings-on talked. It was broken by reviewing documents, interviewing people, and following evidence. It was not cracked by people watching YouTube videos and reading conspiracy websites from their gaming chairs.

This is what the CT fanboys miss time and time again. Deliberately, I suspect. I don't believe politicians always tell the truth. I'm well aware that governments will happily shaft their populations in many different ways. The problem isn't that CT-sceptics hold governments on such a high pedestal, it's that conspiracy theorists haven't proved their case. At all. And they display very poor critical thinking in the process. If gullibility and poor reasoning bothers them, they should look a bit closer to home.

Yes. As I told you. I asked you several you ignored and pretended not to exist.

Because you are now just outright lying about them, I will assume you're conceding them and that my description of why you are avoiding them is accurate.

If my descrpition is not accurate, address the questions please.

I asked you an additional question in that post that you also ignored.

I asked why you were falling back to a strawman argument you know is a strawman.

Again, I'm going to just assume your answer here as well as you're not going to respond to it.

You are falling back to your silly strawman because you have no other rational point.

If this is not the case, address the question please.

Robinph and Dohnjoe have asked you several questions. could you address these now without the dishonest strawmen? Or are you going to pretend these questions don't exist either?

Lol you've stopped being any kind of coherent.

You are again ignoring the questions you've been asked because you don't want to answer them.

I have already outlined the questions in direct terms to you.

Numbering them will only give you another opportunity to ignore them.

1. Can you provide a rational hypothetical motive for why the US government would fake the entire space program? Yes or no?
2. If Yes, what is it?
3. If no, does this mean that you are arguing that the US government is incapable of acting in an underhanded way? Yes or no?
4. Why do you keep claiming that people here are arguing that the US government are incapable of bad things?

From the other posters:

1. Can you provide a rational reason for why the US would fake 9/11 and kill their own people? Yes or no?
2. If yes, what is it?
3. What is the conspiracy theory you subscribe to?

Watch now as you avoid these questions entirely.

And no dude, no one is going to debate you on your youtube or whatever. On top of being pointless, you've demonstrated that you aren't very honest or rational.

Case in point, we're still trying to get you to understand you're debating against a position that no one holds.

Sorry. I went to the bother of numbering out all the questions for you.

if you are going to demand to be spoonfed so completely, at least have the decency to go back and answer them all.

Also I will have to ask you to read the questions more carefully as you seem to have misunderstood them.

I was not asking if you dispute the space program. I asked you if you could hypothetically think of a reason for why it might be faked. It's a yes or no question.

You make a similar misunderstanding with the question about 9/11.

Try answering it again along with the other questions.

Your answer to 4 is also factually incorrect. No one said that.

Are you lying or did you just not understand what he said? Do you not understand what "motive" means and how it is different from "willingness"?

I like how you are now so desperate for a point, you're telling robin what he actually believes.

Hilarious.

Robinph, lets make this very clear for him.

Do you believe that the US government or any government is capable of killing their own citizens if it suits them?
