I don't think you are sick- I just don't think you've looked into 9/11 beyond buying the preposterous official story.
That last line is often spouted by rote by the truther set, and it's kind of obnoxious, as it makes an assumption about someone that may not be true. Don't automatically assume that just because someone does not buy the truther stories, they are simply believing what the government has told them.

How many people have you ever actually met that really do believe whatever the government tells them? I don't know a single soul. In my experience, most people mistrust our government, and in my opinion, they should.

It's a dishonest statement, anyway. So many people outside the US government were involved at the site and the investigation, working at Fresh Kills and on the pile, giving their information to NIST and reviewing the draft reports before they were published in final form. It's not as though the government swooped down and cordoned everything off and then made up their answers in a vacuum.

It's "peddles", Ergo.

I don't usually play spelling police on the forums, but since I know you post from time to time on the Writing forum, where we do play spelling-and-grammar police, I figured you were fair game. Hehehe.

When a person applies pedals to any device, that device can then be considered pedaled.

I didn't mean to say you were a mere peddler.

But, I did pedal you.

Now, you can be peddled.

Next time, get a warrant issued by a judge.

Here is a radical idea, since this topic is suppose to be about 9-11 and what people have learned from it - or not and want to - lets stick to the topic. And if you do not believe 9-11 was anything other than what the Gov't claims and you find us "truthers" to be mentally unbalanced or whatever and this whole subject is not really what your interested in why not pass on making the rude and insulting remarks trying to disrupt the actual discussion - which is actually 2 violations of the TOS. Leave us awful truthers be and go find a thread/topic that you really like and doesn't make you so upset?? I for one would like to get back on topic instead of watching it collapse due to all the arguing.

I don't think the average person can look into 9/11 and not have at least some reservation or question about the official story..for example, many people never heard about 7 at all, but once known, a question of how it came down and that the BBC reported it as down before it came down..has to be a head scratcher for the person of average intelligence.

Is there NOTHING about the official story that you find questionable? Pentagon and Shanksville included? Nothing?

So many people are focused on the BBC report. I never heard any of the other news stations, both local, nation or international, report that 7 fell before it actually did. We did however, know it was going to fall. Remember, we had constant local reporting. Reporters and staff that live in and know NYC. Folks outside the tri-state area did not see this reporting, which was more accurate, although still very chaotic. Why don't you people comprehend just how confusing everything was? Do you really think that everything would be organized and perfect?

I know what I learned -- politicians with an agenda have no level low enough that they will not stoop to put it to their advantage to promote their monetary interests and influence American gullibility.

I am what those who side with the Gov't refer to as a "truther" BUT the debate about Bldg. 7 is a diversion and trap to confuse and discredit. Let me show you easy common sense reasons why.
1. It was not hit by aircraft and not the primary target
2. Why it fell IS NO mystery - the owner/lease holder Larry Silverstein told on a PBS interview that he ordered it "pulled" and it was. Question is how was it done so quickly when it should have taken at least 24 hours to prep.
3. Most if not almost all truthers refer to it not being badly damaged and that the fires were under control many base this on the only view of bldg. 7 most see that being the side facing away from 1&2. 9/11 de-bunking sites show the other side facing the twin towers that WAS heavily damaged! To be sure there was something odd going on at 7 BUT I feel we must stay focused on WTC 1/2 the heart of NYC - 9/11 attack.

I want the truth out but am not willing to place my bet all day long in the rubble of WTC 7!

You OBVIOUSLY haven't looked into anything beyond your BS conspiracy theory.

You don't "like" the "official story"...get your behind to NYC and start pounding the pavement ... start knocking on the doors of those who SAW the planes hit - especially the second b/c everyone in sight had their eyes turned toward the first tower that got hit. They didn't miss the second plane. Or was that a hologram perfectly timed with some "conspiracy bombs" ?

The quackery on your end, well, there is no other word for it other than pathetic.
