The power of the Dark side is strong, never think that light can always chase it away as it may be more powerful then your power of light."

" You profit from tragedy when you find other weak-minded individuals to endorse your a priori view of the world. "

Actually, I don't profit at all from the tragedy of 9/11.  We can't say the same of the government in Washington (or its supporters).

Also, I've opened my opinions to judgement.  That's not "a priori view of the world".  You're welcome to argue back.

Sam_Fan, think about how logistically impossible this entire scenario is. Has anything the administration done before or after 9/11 given you any indication that they're the diabolical ULTRA-geniuses that they would have to be to do something like this?

You get one upper-echeloner with a wisp of conscience (and remember, these are devout people we're talking about here) and the whole thing is blown.


edit: toned down because while obtuse, the OP has been very polite.

I've judged your opinions and found them lacking in anything remotely resembling fact.  If you wish to authenticate your claims, why do so in this forum?  You're simply validating your pathetic existence by drivelling your foul discontent and hoping people will be shocked by it.

So because I more or less support the current governemt, that means that I have personally made a profit from 9-11. Jeeze, you are a fuckwit.

Here's a comprehensive answer to stupid flash movies designed to make gullible people feel good about themselves for "questioning authority." -AKA Pseudonym, SA.

Just for giggles, but I'm sure this will be explained away as well.
