Well, it's obvious that the planes hit the towers, and that they were piloted by terrorists. If there were other forces at work, only a minority of experts are actually qualified to speak about them. I am not among them, so I won't speculate.

Say someone did plant C4 in the WTC. Why is it automatically the government/corporations? Some of the terrorists on the planes had been here for years. Who's to say they couldn't sneak into the WTC and plant it as a failsafe? From what I know, wouldn't have been anywhere near impossible at the time.

Truth is the vast majority of us don't know anything, and it you look hard enough you can make any connection you wish and hold it up as "proof". If I someday get a high-level security clearance and learn of a conspiracy, I'll probably do something about it barring some extreme justifying details. :) Then again, if it is a conspiracy, as of this post I'll never get any security clearance whatsoever. :p

Until then, I'm going with Occam's razor with a side of common sense.

Just think rationally for a moment on this (I know, you can't). Nintendo supposedly spends more money on R&D than our government, and we get a controller with an IR camera, while our government ends up with F-22 Raptors?

Oh, and IceBergSlim, here's a link about the WTC development: http://www.city-journal.org/html/eon2006-09-21ng.html

The specific part is early on when it talks about their deal earlier, where Silverstein turned over the Freedom Tower and one of the other buildings to the Port Authority, as well as 1/3 of the bonds. He does get reduced rent from only handling 3 buildings though. I'm sure that was his master plan all along.

what the fuck are you talking about. Do you know what research and development is?

Manufacturing =/= R&D


Operations and maintenance $152.2 Bil. +6.6%
Military Personnel $110.8 Bil. +3.7%
Procurement $84.2 Bil. +10.5%
Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation $73.2 Bil. +3.1%
Military Construction $12.6 Bil. +57.5%
Family Housing $4.1 Bil. +2.5%
Working Capital Funds $2.4 Bil. +9.1%

TESTING AND EVALUATION =/= R&D

and refer me to what page of the nintendo report they spent on R&D.

Okay, quite a few posts back, someone said in reference to you believing that the moon landing was a hoax that you couldn't be that stupid. Well, now you've got even me amazed. Are you really that stupid that you don't believe that testing & evaluation are a part of the research and development process? "Let's build a fighter jet" "Should we test it in a wind tunnel to evaluate what might happen during windsheer?" "Nawww, fuckit. This is research and development. That's not a necessary step to improve our technology. Let's find some dipshit to try to fly it."

CasioTech has opened my eyes. I am slowly becoming a 9/11 truther.

Now which conspiracy should I believe?
- The government set up the attacks on the twin towers and sent a missle into the pentagon
- The owner of the twin towers set up the attacks to profit from insurance companies. He set up a coordinated attack and rigged the whole building for a controlled demolition
- Nintendo spends more money on TECHNOLOGY than the US GOVT
- China has the best army in the world that makes the US army look like a bunch of little girlie men

I cant wait to join the club, do we get free tin foil hats or do we have to make those ourselves?

Casio, I NEED YOUR RESEARCH SO I CAN FINALIZE MY DECISION. ITS IMPORTANT, SO HURRY!

I'm sorry if you missed it, I already provided my own thoughts. My thoughts are "too mainstream", not nearly as interesting as some of the other thoughts in this thread.

Above is exactly the same types of moronic counterpoints that christians and evolutionists make to each other.

Cheezy...I doubt you are even capable of following a simple scientific text.

I don't think any of those were counterpoints, merely summaries of theories posted in this thread.

Great, now you're pulling Christians and evolution into it. Just how deep does the conspiracy go? Wait, are you trying to say that Darwin masterminded 9/11? Or, is it Jesus?

Can you help me read one?

I heard you are an expert Pharmacist, Zoologist, Engineer, and businessman. I am sure one of those many skills you possess could definitely help me read one of those crazy scientific texts!

you siding with Casiotech takes your credibility from ~0 points to about -4356 points. But it increases your loony-bin level by 40x. Congrats on this accomplishment.

I'm going to have to go ahead and say that China and Russia could rape the US 'girlie men' filled army, should the two combine that's it. Technology ASIDE, the average russian soldier could also defeat the average american soldier in armed and unarmed combat. The average russian is also 3" taller and 7% heavier than the average american.

And there is some aspect where Nintendo far exceeds the US govt dealing with technology but I have to find it and it's not easy to find.

Comparing the development to a f-22 and a wiimote, of course it would cost more to develop an f-22 but that doesn't have anything to do with what I am trying to prove.
