Answers About 9/11 That Conspiracy Theorists Don't Want to Hear

[QUOTE="ownage_denied"][QUOTE="ThePlothole"]

I couldn't back up my claims? Do you even understand what credibility means in regards to news media?

ThePlothole

It certainly doesn't mean that if you don't like the NAME of a website, you ignore it.

You can't just say a website isn't credible when it doesn't benefit you.

Also, if you say something isn't credible, you have to back this up with at least SOME type of evidence.

A credible site tries to be unbiased. Or at least tries not to make their bias so apparent. That is the only reason I called out on the name.)

A credible site will attempt to verify its sources, and prove that it has if questioned.

A credible site has proven itself through years of journalistic integrity.

A credible site isn't going to be the only source. Others, including the mainstream media, would do everything in their power to get a scope of their own.

Well said.

[QUOTE="3picuri3"]as are most rejections of conspiracies. ThePlothole

A "rejection" is more likely to be built on actual facts.

[QUOTE="ownage_denied"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Oh the irony...-Sun_Tzu-

I don't see it :?.

Person A ask for a source. Person B provides source. Person A says but I don't like the name of this source so we can't use it.

Where's the irony in that?

Actually, I don't believe any of the 9/11 conspiracy theories :D. I was trying to construct an argument either. Someone asked for a source, so I used google to find one. I'm just saying that you can't say the site isn't credible without backing up your claims.

[QUOTE="ownage_denied"][QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

:lol: No, you just chose to ignore me. I told you I do not trust sources that are blatantly and obviously biased. I think you'll find that true of many people.

chessmaster1989

What part of you have to back up this claim did you miss?

Link me back to the site?

Here's the link.

[QUOTE="ownage_denied"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Well, considering the fact that you are attempting to construct an argument for why the idea that the government was behind 9/11 is somehow plausible; an argument which requires you to denounce the credibility of an overwhelming amount of evidence that says to the contrary. chessmaster1989

I spent time trying to convince you that that site was not credible, and you did not even believe what was on it.

This should be simple then. Can you prove that this site has done none of the above?

No I wasn't :|. I simply provided a source and told them to disprove it.

No fair poisoning it, either ;)

[QUOTE="ownage_denied"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] Regardless if you believe in conspiracy theories or not, you were trying to perpetuate them with the link that you provided. And you were constructing an argument to explore the idea that the government being behind 9/11 is plausible by providing said link.-Sun_Tzu-

No I wasn't :|. I simply provided a source and told them to disprove it.

That's not what happened though.

Tjeremiah1988 said many he remembers watching the news and hearing many people say they heard an explosion before any plane hit the towers.

ThePlothole ask for a link to this and the names of the eye witnesses.

I googled what Tjeremiah1988 was talking about and found a link with the things ThePlothole was asking for.

I posted this link.

And the saga continues...

No. The government was behind the attacks on 9/11. I don't care how overwhelming your evidence is.LikeHaterade

NO, actually the gov't WANTS US to think they were behind it....... lol

[QUOTE="ownage_denied"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] And by providing that source you were constructing an argument exploring what occurred on 9/11, more specifically the idea that the government was behind it. It is of course a very crude argument but an argument none the less. -Sun_Tzu-

I completely agree with this statement. I was just about to resort to yelling I"M RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG as loud as possible 8).
