Just curious as to the general spread of opinion about this. I'll let you be the judge of which is the planet x option. ;)
 
Let it be a celebrity deathmatch of no planers vs. planers vs. "teh joos did it" camp...

ETA: I didn't see the poll before, but my comment still stands!

I voted option 1, even though it's a thankless, mind-numbing, soul-destroying, masochistic option.

You have to turn over the turds to expose the maggots beneath.

Because there has already been an investigation?

Because if there was a new investigation the TM would say it was a cover-up unless it agreed with their infantile inside job fantasy?

Y'know, I wonder, operating under the premise that it WAS an inside job, if the government admitted it, what would the truth movement do? Hop up and down saying "we told you so;" or would they say "That's what you want us to believe, the Bush administration isn't collectively smart enough to tie a shoe, let alone pull this off."

It's a massive waste of time and money. I thought you Ronulans were against excessive government spending, at least in principal. If not the government, who would fund it? Would the Truth Movement even be happy with a second government explaination if it came at no taxpayer expense? Who would carry it out?
 
In this part of the world (the middle East), conspiracy theories are taken very seriously. Look at all the hoopla over Princess Diana's death from the Egyptian father of Dodi. Also you've got the Iranian President speculating wildly about how the towers fell and blaming it all on Israel. In Saudi they still believe in the Protocols.

That's when it all stops being a source of humour and the butt of jokes. When people act on their beliefs, it's no longer funny.

So yes, it should be confronted.
 
The bush admin. knew there was talk of an attack. Where was the good, no conspiracy CFR? The bush administration could have stopped it but didn't. That's scary enough! Then you have operation Northwoods. Again These things are scary enough. Just the THOUGHT of them spitballing this is terrible. Killing innocent civilians for corporate/special interests.

You've been a member here for a while, and you were "just curious" as to the general opinion about this? Do you actually read the messages in this sub-forum?

Or is this just another one of those "let's justify what we do" messages?

Opinions change over time. A year ago I would have picked option one (The truth movement should be confronted to prevent the spread of misinformation) now I think option 5 (The truth movement ought to be ignored, arguing perpetuates it ) is more appropriate. The "truth" movement now is just seeking any recognition because it's being ignored and mocked by the general population.

The issue here is the "truthers" were fought first then ridiculed and ignored. The only outcome from that is they lose!

I thought about going that way, but then I thought, "Yeah, but, Gandhi actually had millions of followers who were willing to actually put themselves at risk to accomplish their goals. What have these guys got, the "Don't taze me bro!" guy?


Hmph.
