How do you shut up 9/11 "truthers"?
June 12, 2014 at 8:36 pm
Well, I'm on youtube right now and I've noticed a ton of videos with delusional conspiracy theorists who think 911 was an inside job (well, it was an inside job by Al-Qaeda, but none of them think that). I posted a well thought out response to one of many stupid comments that both logically and scientifically disproved the possibility of explosives planted in the towers. Well the first responses I got obviously disregarded what I said and gave the common conspiracy theorist reply of "Oh ya but all of the night workers and others could've been in on it". And guess what they still haven't provided? Evidence. I swear, these guys are stupider than religious nutheads, have any of you ever been able to knock some since into the heads of one of these retards? How did you do it?
(sorry if this is the wrong forum, I know 911 isn't really a current event but lots of people can't stop talking about it on the internet)

Try linking them to Screw Loose Change. It's basically the video Loose Change, which is something you'd imagine the History Channel would put out, but with annotations and corrections for all the lies.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What I really like about the Screw Loose Change blog, is that not only does it go through each claim and refute it with 'real' truth, he gives frickin sources for all of them.
Something the Tin Foilers don't seem to have a concept of....

I forgot there was a blog; it's been ages since I looked at this stuff.

I've never seen one change his mind about 9/11. Oddly enough, I have seen two religionists, over my years irl and online, get to the point that they accepted rational arguments against their gods and fell into apostasy.

Depends on how close you can get to them.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Tell them out front, that you believe everything the govt. and media tell you.
That your leaders would never lie to you.
