Need moar proof?:p

Actually, with the exception of you. You're the only onw who wrote out a proper post.

Not just "Er..... yeah, I believe Princess Diana was murdered"

"Why do you believe this?"

"Just do"

Education is the best way to allow somebody a chance of sorting out the bull**** from the plausible stuff. Debunking is the term I prefer to use myself. Debunking has in the past proven to unearth some very unnerving stuff. Astrology is bull**** and was debunked by Philip J. Klass for instance:cool:

I believe Freddie Starr did actually eat a hamster and he's going to win the Jungle show now because of the practice.

An aul lad I know believes Dianna was "removed" because the Royal Family didn't want a foreigner in the family:rolleyes: Any evidence for this? Nada.

I believe trade centre 7 was knocked with explosives.

Before anyone accuses me of calling 9/11 an inside job, I'm not. I'm merely saying TC7 was controlled.

You're correct, WTC 7 was controlled and more importantly the BBC were reporting it had collapsed 20mins before it really did.
But how is it you can see that WTC 7 was controlled but you can't see that the whole events of that day were an inside job?

Yup. Another one is to ask unanswerable (on the spot) questions and fill all of the ambiguity surrounding the question and the answer with whatever they're trying to say they believe in.

Example:

"I believe 9/11 was an inside job"

"Why?"

"You honestly think blokes who live in caves in Afghanistan could've done this?"

or

"You honestly think a guy could've learned to fly a plane into a building like that in x amount of time?"

Most of them think that ambiguity like that is checkmate! Proof isn't needed once there'a a silly question in there!

TheyKnowMyIP · 11-11-2011 02:40AM

I would go as far as saying if you applied scientific skepticism to Office Politics, you would out anybody
with an MBA after their name as a person of bull. Management is a tough game, but it ain't science!

Richard Feynman wrote probably the most devestating critique of topics that on the surface appear scientific, but tend to crumble in later years due to gaping holes and flawed methodology. Believing something to be true until otherwise proven is not the application of the scientific method I am afraid.

Deffo worth listening to if you have the time! "Cargo Cult Science" - How apt!

Wanna give us the proof that WTC7 was a controlled explosion? We've all seen the video. It's not evidence of anything to be honest!

Edit: Actually f*ck this! This isn't the CT forum. I can't be arsed!

The 9/11 stuff is mostly bull. I mean ffs, how can you deny it wasn't an attack. Controlled explosion me bollix. It's the foolish conspiracy buffs that give the other more credible peeps a bad name. The Roswell stuff is well dodgy to outright deny. "No, area 51 isn't a place for advanced research:rolleyes: Didn't the US Government try to deny it's existence at one stage?"

profitius · 11-11-2011 02:46AM

I believe that most people are easily fooled and believe everything they see on TV.

david75 · 11-11-2011 02:47AM

one i believe.

this whole economic collapse is contrived and is the first big step towards a single currency for the whole planet, run by banks and thus negating the need for markets.

or somethin..

Bill Clinton couldn't even keep a blowjob out of the media.

Do you honestly think that the US would be able to keep a 911 cover up secret for all this time?

Believing it without sufficient/ any evidence is basically what makes it a "consiracy theory" in modern vernacular. If there was enough convincing evidence for a theory to be convincing it would be a the "mainstream" belief - despite what CTers may say about it just being "stupidity"/"Sheep mentality"

WTC 7 has been dealt with repeatadly by the scientific and skeptical community. It becomes like a religion however, any contrary evidence no matter how convincing is merely part of the conspiracy http://www.debunking911.com/links.htm go nuts.

For every intelligent person with a well researched and put together argument, there's 10 idiots who sound like morons when they speak on these subjects.

Last time I had an argument over 9/11 (with my CT loving friend) she tried to tell me Ireland were on a secret mission in Iran. WTF??

With the CTers, they'll point something out and then when it's proven to them that they were mistaken they never say "Oh, ok that's fair enough" they just look for another discrepancy! it's in their mental framework that they want to be the ones "in the know" and everyone else is being controlled by the media and the normal bollocks!

Sky News is brainwashing us all.

Suiting their own agenda all the time and us peoples lap it up.

If Sky News said that we could **** out of our mouth now people would believe it.

Imagine the amount of people that would've had to be involved!

There's one of the 9/11 theories that says the passengers of United 93 were all in on it too and they're living off somewhere else (this is, of course, because the pentago was hit my missiles and not planes...... so that has to explain where the people went)

That's not a theory, its an easily proven fact. Still I guess he had to do something to get some attention, what with him being the uglyist sister in the band.

In what way? I would entertain the idea that the powers that be are potentially conspiring to keep Africa in a mess, but outright refusing that Africa exists as a geographically supported location is a bit much even for myself to muster:)

Then again, I think you're just trolling:D

As for my views, the JFK assassination doesn't add up to me. At the very least there was another shooter
