Wow now that's what I call a rapid change of heart. 
First you give an example of a past similar experience with you and giving a collage presentation and them you follow up by saying that his, what you
now so rapidly consider a over the top story, is what you kind of expected to happen and now it's just fill. 
Cool!!

Unfortunately, the accusation of being a terrorist and the potential of being arrested for even alleged terroristic threats, is a growing and very
real concern.
Witch trials, anyone?
Even the mere mention (without proof) is enough to land you in hot water.
It also seems the more educated and intelligent you are, the more likely you are to be labeled as such.
This constitutes an escalating probability, that people, as a whole, are becoming so informationaly diluted, that even the most sound theories are
being looked upon no different than witchcraft.
the reality of it is, the more awakened you are, the more asleep you must pretend to be, until such time as those around you are ready to hear what
you have to say, as well as have their own preconceived notions of reality questioned.
One's mind must be opened to grow, and unfortunately, we in the USA live in a society of conformity, and selfishness.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicy animals and you know it!"
Very well said..."the more awakened you are, the more asleep you must pretend to be". I too was called a terrorist by a neighbor about 5
years ago. Anyway, now I just play stupid when certain subjects come up and try to plant a little seed to hopefully make them think later. I live in
Colorado Springs...try being awake in this city of Air Force, Army and Homeland Security.....aghh...they're everywhere...and very defensive.

Exactly.
This isn't about figuring out anything.
It has already been figured out, the evidence is everywhere.
No matter how accessible the truth is people have to be willing to drop their preconceived notions, assumptions, and speculation.

Sounds like you where drinking in the bar from the Blues Brothers I have come up against a lot of this and it is like the matrix, the people are
not ready to be woken up, to be honest ignorance must be bliss. To go through life with your eyes shut would take a lot off of my mind but never mind
play the cards you are dealt. I work closley with the military so my opinions are as closely guarded as fort knox.

Its a shame the Marine in the OPs story doesnt understand how the elites of this world, ie the perpatrators of this obvious inside job, view him and
his buddies.
"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." Henry Kissinger, quoted by Bob Woodward in The Final Days, 1976
*salute* the OP, even if your tact was off, telling the truth is the highest form of patriotism.

nah, not a rapid change of heart. what i agreed with was him getting a negative reaction for his story he told to the people at the bar. it happened
to me as a mentioned, and i also consider that to be the norm so to speak when people talk about what others consider a conspiracy. what i thought was
fill was how the story went along. it seemed over the top, not the reaction he got just how the people acted in the story, how polite he was ect ect.
i hope you arent puzzled now, after i read what i wrote i was a little puzzled too until i sorted through it

Well I read 6 pages of this thread, that's a lot, and I still didn't find out the name of the bar. We should know the name so if we go in there we
know not to mention 911.

Yeah I agree with some of the other posters here, you got in, and got out, and I know you were jilted that they would not be served another beer, but
sometimes those little bars are a cesspool of negativity and then you come in and pick the big boil, and the only thing they have for reference is the
word terrorist, if you are not American in your current thoughts.
At least you tried, a good lesson to learn, and now you know to do it one at a time.

Maybe 30-40 people from ATS should go to the bar some time, and talk about 911 :-) Isn't that the way it is, majority rules.

Having another person or two in the "know" would have helped but in reflection of the attitude I experienced, I think a small group of us would have
definitely given them reason to call police, (terror group?)

That's why you need a large group. If you outnumber the sheep, it's easier to be the shepherd.
I'm surprised that there wasn't anyone else in the bar who believed you. One day at work I started a discussion with several co-workers about the
9-11 conspiracy theories, and there were as many believers as non-believers. And among the non-believers, everyone acknowledged that the official
story was full of holes and didn't make sense.
If you want to change minds, I think you've got to turn the water up slowly. Pique their curiosity by pointing out a few minor inconsistencies.
People are more receptive to gradual changes in belief than sudden ones.
