I didnt think Inglorious Basterds was accurate. But I enjoyed Hitler getting gunned down in a burning movie theater.

I think you're on a tangent. My spoke nothing of an official announcement from our government.

Then I think that you are confused. The post of mine that you quoted was a response to a poster who was speaking about an official statement from the Pentagon.

Then I think that your argument is with the poster who started talking about official statements, not with me (which would lead me to believe that you are confused, in case that wasn't clear).

Agreed.
I would have tied him to a chair, and had a million scantily clad women slap him in the face. Then, I would have injected him with bacon fat.
Use that bitch as a punching bag for the ages I say.
Then, when we finally killed him, put him in the ME desert, where everyone knows.
When, people come to pay their respects, dust their terrorist asses too.

That's great. I am very good friends with a structural engineer who finds the collapse highly suspicious. He said what happened to WTC-7 is EXACTLY what happens when any building constructed that way is rigged with explosives and demolished.

You're right. I'm convinced now. The government told the truth. They stopped lying for one day and told us the truth about what happened on 9/11, all out of the kindness of their neocon hearts.
Maybe I should start believing in Santa Claus too?

You must be friends with that professor down at FAU. He likes conspiracy THEORIES too. What about Area 51, Bigfoot, Elvis, and Ratman?

So, I am a government drone? My goodness, this is the first time anyone has ever called me that.
Dude, every single reputable engineering study done on the twin tower collapse confirms what I wrote. Every.single.one.
Now, I am well aware I am wasting my time. I have encountered so many conspiracy theorists in my long life that I know know that things like logic, reason and facts have very little impact on their views.
That is fine. By all means, carry on.

LOL, "conspiracy THEORIES".
"Unless you believe and accept what we tell you, it's a conspiracy THEORY, and that's a bad word! You're not allowed to question the official story! To do so is considered a thought crime! We create reality and tell you what it is. You don't get to figure it out for yourself, WE TELL YOU! Stop thinking and OBEY!"
You must be one of those government worshipers who hangs on the government's every word like a religious nut. LOL.

Well I guess you figured me out lol. I think the government has too much control over things but I am not as far along as you I guess.
I also have a theory. 1984 is your favorite book, correct?

Would rep if I could. Gotta spread it around.
For some reason, this thread reminds me of when I went to go see Titanic and one of my friends asked, seriously, "So, what happens at the end?" One of my other friends started to say, "I'm not going to tell you." And I couldn't help but shoot back before she was done, "The boat sinks."

Good movie, not great IMO. Maybe I suffered from too high expectations.
I thought the first 1/2 was not compelling because of too much noise/static and main characters who were not sympathetic or understandable beyond being driven. That's OK and maybe realistic but it doesn't necessarily make a good movie. Second half is compelling. The entire presentation was an exercise in seemingly realistic and mostly unemotional and amoral storytelling. That is a refreshing anecdote to most movies made these days which are overwrought with it, but maybe done to a fault. Similarities to Homeland's Carrie and the main character are obvious, though crazy Carrie is more sympathetic.

LOL, "reputable". If an engineer agrees with the official story, he's considered "reputable", if he doesn't, he's not.
No proper forensics investigation was ever completed at the scene of the World Trade Center, and certainly not one focused on explosives, as admitted by NIST. This, despite the fact that dozens of eyewitnesses claimed to hear and witness suspicious explosions coming from inside and under the towers.
Biggest crime in American history, no real investigation. Yeah, that sounds legit. I'm sure it was just another coincidence among hundreds in the 9/11 attacks.
The problem is, you have no reason, logic, or facts. All you have is what the government told you and what the media parroted for them later on. At some point, the entire official story for 9/11 rests on, "but the government said so", or, "the government couldn't do that", or, "the government wouldn't do that". That's not reason or logic, it's government drone talk.

No, not really. I had a hard time getting through it the first time. The second time went a little smoother, but it's not a favorite.
