    It's kind of sad that people actually think this.

    What did 9/11 accomplish? How did it further their cause one bit? Pissing off a government with a large military and the will to use it generally doesn't end well.

    They're not companies owned and operated by citizens. They're companies owned by very wealthy individuals who have no desire to change the status quo.

How do you think they'll act when you take away that chance of punishment?

    yea it's sad that i believe in science which disproves a plane impact at the top of a building causes said building to collapse at free fall speed and leaves molten steel pools under rubble.

    it may seem like "nothing" now, but when the war on terror was first announced I think most americans were enthused, we were goin after the guys who did this, doesnt seem like "nothing" to me

    exactly. we need to get big business out of our government, and get real genuine people in power that actually care about the well being of our country and its citizens. not these rat bags that get paid big checks to push business.

    Two quotes come to mind:

    "History is determined by the victor"

    "You change the world with rivers of blood"

    One way or another, humanity has to grow out of that infantile idea that the only way to change things is by killing people.

    Maybe you should have thought about this before you paid the taxes for the US defense budget? A rebellion would have to be pretty much unanimous to keep the military out of it, and even then, it would be a civil war beyond what the first American Civil War ever reached. The US is just too integrated now to ever have such a rapid political change

    Crackpot science from guys who passed high school biology really doesn't hold any credence.

    yet these people continously hold government positions, they are elected by the american people, and some people wonder why the status quo is the way it is

    I don't have a reason to believe that the government had insidious motives to destroy the buildings, but he's right as far as the collapse goes. There is enough evidence for there to be a debate. It looks as if there were thermite burns on some of pieces of scrap. The building fell as if it was being set off in a timed sequence. Anyone who know's some physics can tell you that it's entirely possible that they weren't taken down because of the plane impacts.

    What, and you think killing everyone in charge will accomplish that? No, it won't. Furthermore, who's going to train "the people" to operate those utility business? And what's to stop the new people in charge from fucking over everyone else, anyway?

    You're idea is short-sighted. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely fucking stupid.

    It's one thing to think that a government is withholding information. It's another thing entirely to think that a government would attack its own people.
