atheists and "conspiracy" theories

[Abishalom]

There is a difference between being rude and being personally insulting. I really don't care either way, but I'm not in a position to let it slide or dish it out.

At any rate, your analogy sucks. The White House is protected. If you think the entire sky over the U.S. is watched like a hawk, I would like to know how you think we do that. I would also like to know why you think radar tracks every plane. If you lose a plane on radar, you have to rely on the pilot. I'm not entirely certain, but judging by what I know of radar capabilities and air traffic control, which is arguably minimal, we do not follow flights on radar for the entirety of the flight. Come on. It's not as if I'm saying the USAF is not responsible for anything. It's just stupid to leap from poor security, which is hardly unprecedented to government conspiracy. They did the same thing after Pearl Harbor and it was stupid then too.

Apparently you're missing the big picture which is not surprising since the big picture not important to you (your words not mine). Planes crashed into buildings. The government does not need to "track every plane" but I'm pretty sure they should be tracking planes that are flying off course TOWARDS buildings, especially ones like the Pentagon.

The thing is before making such dumb statements about 9/11 you should have looked this stuff up first unless you want to be looked at as a crazy conspiracy theorist. In case you couldn't figure it out, my comment about your buildings is based on your misunderstanding about the towers (and the pentagon) and your snap decision that all the planes vaporized. Taken together, that shows a lack of critical thinking and an unfamiliarity with basic engineering skills (as far as building).

So accepting the government's watered down version and considering any statement opposed to the "official" story as a "dumb statement" is your idea of "critical thinking?
