In your photos it's very different to a contrail: A) it starts at a point on the plane, and B) it is not shooting backwards at 2000 mph, so has visually a very different initial turbulent flow.
You have not shown a photo of cloud seeding that looks like a contrail.
Let me give you an example.
A photo is posted of "clouds," all in straight lines across the sky, all at a relatively low altitude, and there are no planes to be seen.
Poster "A" says "Contrails!"
Poster "B" says "Chemtrails!"
How in the hell can you tell the difference just by looking?

Didums boo hoo - you got the comments exactly about the photos you provided - you provide photos with planes, you get comments about photos with planes.

I couldn't find any taken from the ground. Maybe you'll have better luck looking than me? Or will you even try to find one?

Both of your points use the plane itself for your cue.
This was the original question:

Like I told the poster above....
The only reason I showed pictures that include the planes, is because otherwise you would question whether or not it was cloud seeding in the first place!!!!

It is pretty easy to define the difference, they DO look similar.
Contrails, the result of the aircraft heating the atmosphere around it, are trails of vapor that are visible trailing off the wingtips of the aircraft, being vapor caused by the friction in the air, they dissipate as the temperature returns back to it's previous state and as a result you will still see the aircraft that produced them as they disappear.
Chemtrails, the result of the aircraft releasing chemicals into the atmosphere, typically hang in the air for quite some time and do not dissipate as easily since it is an added ingredient not already present in the atmosphere.
So contrails, disappear while the aircraft is still present. Chemtrails hang for hours to days after the aircraft has passed.

Then you admit you wouldn't be able to tell them apart from contrails if the planes had already passed?

Congrats, you successfully have framed an argument in such a way that you were correct on a certain aspect of it. Still wrong about the 'chemtrails', though.
You mean still wrong about calling chemicals dumped into the air in an effort to manipulate weather patterns, a chemtrail?
That must be some fine line you're drawing.

I've tried to find one for several hours in the past.
My second point used the start of the trail.
Every single thing we can see in those photos looks different to a contrail.

Part of the problem is that you insist on referring to cloud seeding as "dumped into the air," when that is an inaccurate representation. It fits with your unstated agenda and internal beliefs, but not with the mechanics of cloud seeding.
Planes do not "dump" anything into the "air" for weather modification (i.e., cloud seeding).
Your allegation that China admits to "dumping chemtrails" is false, and you know it.
Your assertion that cloud seeding chemicals are "dumped into the air " is false and you know it.
I would suggest that the comparison between contrails, chemtrails and exhaust from a car is ridiculous. Pretty sure the accepted law is gravity. My car's exhaust isn't falling onto grass, plants, tress, oceans from several thousand feet in the air, and again my car's exhaust does not produce a trail that lingers in the air for hours, no matter what temperature or altitude I have been, although I admit I have never driven my car at 30,000 feet

This is a pair of photos taken in Beijing (aka Peking) by me during a trip to the People's Republic of China in August 2005. I was in Beijing twice over a period of a week and a half, both times at the same hotel and in approximately the same room. The photo on the right was taken during a sunny, otherwise clear day on my first visit. The photo on the left was on my second visit, after it had rained for approximately 2 days. Both of these photos were taken in the morning around the 07:00-08:00 hour. The difference is staggering. I can say that during the day that I took the photo on the right, the air made walking around (and I did for miles) rather difficult.
