I'm going to go out on a limb and call 9/11 conspiracy theorists idiots
Al Qaeda tells Iran to Stop Spreading 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
The terror group al Qaeda has found itself curiously in agreement with the "Great Satan" -- which it calls the U.S. -- in issuing a stern message to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: stop spreading 9/11 conspiracy theories.

This is easy. I have over one thousand examples in the form of posts on this site. Pick any one of them and try to make a connection between my way of thinking and Ahmadinejad. I challenge you to make the connection within 7 hops. We can call this little exercise "7 degrees of separation" ;) Side: Wait..., What? No!

I think it is a bit idiotic to go out of your way to look for things that probably aren't there. Unless there are any sensible conspiracy theories that aren't loaded to the brim with obvious bullshit, I don't see why it's a relevant field of study and investigation. Side: True
OK so im 13 and i think i get what the question means but again im 13 so dont laugh if im way off. WHY THE FUCK WOULD AMERICA BOMB ITS OWN BUILDINGS THREE TIMES! LIKE REALY a 2008 poll of 17 countries, 15% of those surveyed believed the US government was responsible for the attacks, 7% believed Israel was and another 7% believed some other perpetrator, other than al Qaeda, was responsible. The poll found that Arabs were more likely to believe 9/11 conspiracy theories THOES 15% are fudging stupid like fo realz but idk GOD BLESS US OF A Side: True

"WHY THE FUCK WOULD AMERICA BOMB ITS OWN BUILDINGS THREE TIMES! " Fear is an excellent tool to manipulate the masses, people need to beleive that fear which is perpetuated by the media isn't simply irrational, therefore it is entirely conceivable that a false flag event, even of the scale of 9/11, could be carried out. This should always remain a possible exaplantion as long as there are unanswered questions, and in the case of 9/11 there are a lot of unanswered questions. http://www.youtube.com/ George Orwell was one of the first people to put this in print, in his most fampus book 1984 he describes a dystopian future society modelled on the USSR in which fear and coercion are used to keep people in line. You should read this book as its easily one of the greatest ever written, and will give you great insight into the question you posed even if you don't fully grasp its nuances and subtleties. "THOES 15% are fudging stupid like fo realz but idk " You should never ridicule something you do not have a proper understanding of. "GOD BLESS US OF A" You should try to cultivate a natural distrust of all things ideological, this can be done by questioning every answer you receive. Side: True

Whether you agree with someone or not is one thing, and you are entitled to your opinion. That being said, so do 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Calling them 'idiots' is a bit extreme, you don't need to agree with them, so I don't think people should be labeled just because of something they believe in. Of course there are exceptions, but considering I would be going waaaaay off topic I think I'll just stop now. ;) Side: Wait..., What? No!
The people who are idiots are the ones who don't recognize that every story out there is a conspiracy theory. The idiots are the ones who don't mind speaking up as if they fully understand an event when so much relevant information about it is a legal secret (classified). Side: Wait..., What? No!

I honestly deep down don't beleive in political actions, i think the system contracts and expands as it wants to and accomodates certains changes, i think the civil rights movement was an accomodation on the part of those who own the country, i think they see where their self interest lies, they see a certain amount of freedoms as good, an illusion of liberty, give these people a voting day every year so we have the illusion of menaingless chioce that we go like slaves, and can then say" oh i voted", the limits of debate in this country are established long before the debate even begins, and everyone else is marginalised or made out to be a communist or some kind of disloyal person, a cook, and now its a conspiracy theorist, they've made that something that should not be even entertained for one minute, that powerful people might actually get together and make have a plan, doesn't happen, you're a cook, youre a conspiracy buff!!!!!!!!! - George Carlin R.I.P.
