I know you would, Michael, because you really don't like having to face your own deep dishonesty.

The opportunity has been there for months on end and not one believer of the USGOCT has offered one iota of evidence/proof. LoL this is why I asked to uncle Michael that who is going to decide whether something is conspiracy or not because its highly possible that any topics questions 9/11 or similar events is going to be placed in "Conspiracy Theories" section by mods.

Yes, the irony is overwhelming, Altai. These are the very people who hold themselves out as always open to totally free discourse adults.

That remains to be seen, but if most people see it as a conspiracy theory what would you have done with the topic ? It's not 'news'. I would relegate it to its own forum, and hopefully that will reduce duplicate postings, spam and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're practically hijacking most of the threads! There are moments when I do enjoy bantering with you, but you're hurting the board when you're turning all discussions to be about the same thing! If you want to talk about something - create your own thread for it. Edited September 5, 2017 by betsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people generally makes their decisions based on their fanatical feelings and not based on logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 'news'. It's not politics, either, and really shouldn't be in on a sub forum dedicated to politics. That includes both Canadian politics and US politics. There really is no existing suitable topic where something like 9/11 properly fits. Edited September 5, 2017 by Argus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You called this a non sequitur because Altai described you to a T and you don't want to have to address it. Your feelings, and therefore your "discussion" about the 911 issue are nothing but fanatical because you outright deny reality, you categorically deny science, you refuse to address so much because you actually know your position is fatuous. That is the very definition of a fanatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
