What do you guys honestly believe happened on 9/11?

🂿 · June 08, 2016, 01:31:29 AM

I'm not gonna judge you on this one, and what I believe does not matter. I want to know what YOU believe. So go ahead and vote.

Also, lets discuss this civilly. I know you guys like to say a lot of '9/11 jokes' but let's not do it in this thread okay? Please? Not even trolling?

Thank you.

Anyone who still legit thinks the US government did it is an idiot, but ya know

steel beams and what not.

My parents believe it was an inside job, but I've never looked too deeply into the subject myself. I don't know or care.

It was a tragedy, but it's also over, as far as I'm concerned. It's history.

For once I like your answer. We may never know the full truth behind it all, but you're right. What happened, happened. Nothing more but a tragedy.

Pretty much

It's as bad as the Pearl Harbor and Moon Landing conspiracies.

Verbatim · June 08, 2016, 01:42:53 AM

I wouldn't go so far to call them idiots. The way it all panned out, and the way people are, I can totally see and understand how people could have looked at it all and saw something fishy about it.

That's all that they are really at the end of the day, but I prefer to keep an open mind. I'd like to think that its at least a possibility because there isn't enough evidence to really prove or disprove one or the other.

But as I said in the OP, what I believe doesn't matter, but it is what I will believe until I am undeniably proven wrong otherwise with concrete evidence supporting the ladder, which may or may never happen. So, I'm likely going to believe it until the day I die.

I might be an idiot for it, but I know I'm not completely stupid.

Anyway, regardless of what's what, this still doesn't change the fact that a lot of innocent lives were lost in this catastrophe.

I was 9 when all that shit happened, saw it live on TV too, and even me being 9 years old, nothing but a dumb boy mostly still learning, I knew something was just wrong when the towers just fell like that, and I couldn't explain or figure out why, but I just knew it shouldn't have fallen that fast, like in 10 seconds, but I kept it to myself because I didn't want to really get any adult upset with this shit.

snee0rp · June 08, 2016, 01:52:53 AM

It was done by terrorists, but considering the US' relations with the offending state, Saudi Arabia, I wouldn't say the government's hands are entirely clean.

Regardless of what happened, watching 9/11 conspiracy documentaries is fun as fuck.

Holy shit. I didn't know that WTC was actually attacked in 1993 with a real bomb planted killing 6 people, prior to the events of 9/11. I couldn't have known, I was only a year old.

Just wow, the fact that's its been a target for that long, honestly it only further increases my belief that the government did it for sure.

You know if we really think about it as a county, I don't think we were this afraid of or obsessed with Muslims until this shit happened. Doesn't that strike you as odd? It does to me, but opinions...

🂿 · June 08, 2016, 03:05:47 AM

Well so far I really am the ONLY person on this entire website that believes 9/11 was an inside job by the US government, and I will continue to believe that unless some new evidence pops up that can dismiss the conspiracy, and seeing how unlikely that's going to be, I'll believe that until the day I die.

At least I know I'm not the only person on the internet, let alone the world that believes it was an inside job as well.

Just on this site.

They must have been pretty big guys to crash a plane like that with no survivors.

No, because that paired with countless terrorist attacks by radical Muslims afterwards leaves a negative stigma. It's the exact same way the Japanese in America were viewed suspiciously and unfavorably after Pearl Harbor.

It's sad, but it's human nature to just lump people together and blame it on them, rather than realize it's far more complicated than what the face of it seems.

I don't think Luci is really calling those people who thought it was fishy at the start idiots, just those who ignore the mountains of evidence to the contrary years after it happened.

I was kinda just being silly in general, but yeah. Conspiracy theorists seem to think something happened, even when there is more evidence stacked on the actual story, and not the conspiracy.

Which is why I cast it in the same light as the Pearl Harbor and Moon Landing ones. It's just so silly and untrue.

The US may have been vaguely to somewhat aware of what was going to happen. No explosives, missiles, or ayy lmaos were involved.

US government didn't do Pearl Harbor. They knew it was going to happen hours prior and didn't intervene, so they could have a reason to break the non-interventionalist policy and go to war.

You say this like it's fact; there's not much evidence besides some old guys' theories. They definitely knew the Japanese were planning some sort of attack in the Pacific, hence why the carriers were out delivering aircraft to Pacific islands, but they wouldn't risk losing so many important ships, crippling the war effort from the start.

OT: it obviously wasn't an inside job. Jet fuel absolutely does burn hot enough to cause stress failures in steel, resulting in a collapse. They didn't collapse into their footprint, and demolition would've been insanely difficult, especially considering it had never been done on buildings so tall. If you believe the story that America supported the Mujahideen, the theory is even less compelling; it becomes a direct example of puppet factions going awry.

Spartan · June 08, 2016, 07:04:36 AM

But seriously, I doubt it was an inside job

DAS B00T x2 · June 08, 2016, 08:48:19 AM

The official story is mostly true... they just conveniently leave out that fact that (((Isreal))) funded the Saudi terrorists.

Winy · June 08, 2016, 11:47:59 AM

I don't know, it's not something that I feel comfortable trying to argue a stance on because I really just don't know much about the event and foreign relationships very well. I just go with the official story until it's shown that there's strong evidence to the contrary- And I haven't seen that yet.

Just on this site.

If you honestly believe that the government had any role in executing the attacks of 9/11, then there's no evidence that will convince you otherwise. Not "new" evidence, not any of the extremely clear old evidence. You can (and in this case, do) have all the evidence in the world painting a clear picture (in this case, that Islamic extremists hijacked and crashed the planes), but all the evidence in the world can't overcome the mixture of stubbornness and stupidity that fuels conspiracy theories.
