What is the problem with asking questions to which answers have yet to be given? What is the problem with asking questions that challenge impossible claims? What is the problem with asking questions about claims that have been presented by the US authorities and have since been found to be untrue?

If asking such questions, by some wild stretch, renders me a conspiracy theorist, then I am proud of it.

Thank you for the support bloggulator. People around here seem to be ok with the question asking side of things. They just can't seem to be able to save the conclusions for after they've seen all the pieces of evidence. In some people's eyes, not even 2200 Architects & Engineers for 9/11 truth have enough expertise to raise inconsistencies in the official report.

The jump from what people believe to be true and the contradictory evidence is so huge that people dismiss the whole thing because of some opinion based theory of impossibility they've created in their minds. Many won't even have the guts to watch or listen, they've made up their minds and they'll debate as if they know everything there's to know. It's as if people have lost the ability of basic critical thinking.

I've been reading the comments here but have remained hands off the discussion because I would never touch it with a ten foot pole. But this comment strikes a nerve.

Beyond the fact that your sentence style is much too passive voiced for my taste, I think you should give the Hubskiers here a bit more credit.

I think the response you've gotten here is levelheaded and thoughtful. Considering the sensitivity of the topic, and how most people on and off the internet would simply dismiss you immedietly because of the emotions it brings to the table, I'd say you're doin alright here.

Critical thought is what Hubski is all about. Just because its not the critical though that you like doesn't make it any less valid. Not trying to be antagonistic, but dismissing everyone else's thoughts on the matter sorta dismisses your own.

Coming from someone who feels this topic is beneath them:

    I would never touch it with a ten foot pole.

It isn't surprising that you believe that:

    ...the response you've gotten here is levelheaded and thoughtful.

While I appreciate people's comments expressing their approval about questioning, if you read the comments, few have actually watched the video and engaged in the topic. While others have done exactly what I tried to warn about in the post, jumped to conclusions rather than to read/watch and then join the discussion with an open mind. Quite honestly, from my end, it feels like a bit of a condescending tap on the head.

To me a positive discussion would have been for people to engage with the parts of evidence mentioned in the video and then explain with other evidence why they disagree. That'd have been way more productive for everyone. But since we have different points of view on the topic, and the fact that you only joined in when you felt your ego had been poked, it doesn't surprise me we'd also perceive the response differently.

Dude.

September 11 2001 was 13 years ago.

Loose Change is pushing 10 years.

It's foolish to assume we haven't "engaged the topic." We've had three presidential administrations to engage with it.

It's possible that we don't want to engage the topic again or we don't want to engage the topic with you.

Or both.

You seem to have this hang up about time. Do you mind explaining your logic as to why events in the past should not be discussed? At our previous interaction you got upset that I was replying to a thread that was a few weeks old. You ended the discussion telling me to fuck off and then muted me.

I never assumed people haven't engaged in the topic ever. I can only evaluate the response I've had in this post. Thank you for emphasising my evaluation with this irrelevant reply and personal attack. You're a true intellectual kleinbl00.
