There's really nothing more that can be added constructively.
So you disagree with the counter-arguments, but you can't, or are not prepared to, say why. What do you suppose people might deduce from that stance?
You haven't changed my mind, I'm not going to change your mind ...
I'd prefer it if you refrained from likening our respective levels of thinking and analysis, thank you Doug.
... so sometimes it's just better to agree to disagree, don't you think?
Only if you're inclined to close your mind to other possibilities. You present more, sorry
some, facts supporting your case, and I'll happily consider them.
Well, I'll say this as nicely as I can: If you let someone else convince you that your memory is false, tainted, inaccurate or whatever they want to label it, that's all on you, SouthWind, not me.
I'm a realist, Doug. Not like you. I accept that, on some, indeed many, issues, some people are better placed to comment than I. That's why I consult a GP, for example, when I'm very sick, rather than electing to self-diagnose.
You've allowed someone else to create your memory for you.
No. I've simply opened my mind to the idea that my memory might not always serve me as well as I'd like to think it does, which is consistent with related studies. You'd do well to question whether you, too, are not that perfectly functioning being that you seem to think you are.
I don't allow other others to dictate to me what I remember or know.
No, me neither. Did I suggest that I do?
Believe it or not, I can relate to your story in that link, as I have experienced similar sightings myself, and have had even closer, more personal experiences. No one, and I do mean NO ONE, will convince me otherwise, nor will they dictate to me what I saw. They weren't there, *I* was. It's really just that simple.
Ah, close mindedness. The thief of critical thinking!
I reject psychobabble 100%. It's a wholesale pseudo-science enterprise invented to make people who couldn't cut it in the medical field rich. We can't leave out the facts when considering other possibilities and probabilities. Period. The number of witnesses I provided (5) isn't the total sum of witnesses that reported Flight 93 being over Indian Lake. Residents of Indian Lake Village called the sheriff's office and reported a plane flying overhead, falling apart and dropping pieces on their houses and in their yards. The information is available to anyone who is interested enough to look for it. I'm not here to do the homework for everyone, or anyone for that matter.
Do you have
anything Doug, anything at all, other than eye/sound witness statements?
I never said my memory was infallible, did I?
Er ... this comes pretty close:
No one, and I do mean NO ONE, will convince me otherwise, nor will they dictate to me what I saw.
I said I remember ONE EVENT, a major traumatic event, like it happened 10 minutes ago.
There's a clue here Doug. See if you can spot it.
If you're struggling with the facts, I would suggest going back through this thread a few pages and refreshing your memory.
OK, I will. Oh ... hang on though ... no need, you've done it for me:
The simple fact is that the witness testimony on the day of the event differs sharply from the government released "data", which was released 5 months later.
Ah, the facts, sorry "fact", singular, revealed at last:
Witness testimony differs from the official data. Allow me to repeat that, ladies and gentlemen, I realize it's a lot to take in and assimilate:
Witness testimony differs from the official data.
Well there we have it. How could anybody not conclude from this that it was an inside job. It's so obvious, isn't it. Staring us right in the face all along, and we missed it, until now. Thanks Doug, we're all eternally grateful.
