Yes..I'm not sure why the members of the ATS that support the official story often get angry at unbelievers. They should be content that their side is winning. THe OS is generally accepted as the truth...which is why I'm sorry...but...we unbelievers should get angry.
In this day of age, I'm stunned that a grown human being is able to look at the event and say they are happy with the conclusions of the investigations. Even after the some of the investigators on the comitee claim that the investigation was compromised and twarted on multiple levels...they are still happy. Everything is fine. Move along you crazy conspiracy kooks...
After reading that...I really don't understand how anyone can be not suspicious...or at least push for a new investigation. Some are happy with that. However compromised it was. Apparently it doesn't matter. Makes me sad...

Well, one reason could be that so many of these conspiracy narratives require people to believe that a lot of innocent folk to be soulless mass murderers or at the least, complicit in mass murder.
Thats because the grown ups understand that there may have been multiple screw ups by those persons tasked with providing security for the USA and that those same folks may have been involved in some CYA activities.
It does matter, but like I said, the grown ups are dealing with it. Cheer up.
Thanks Hoop.
But why would investigators claim that their investigation was compromised, if it had no barring on the purpose of the investigation?
I'm tired of banging that trumpet as it gets us nowhere...you ask who should pay for the investigation ? How about you pay it from the victims fund that is not fully claimed.
There are at least some shady aspects of this story that werent investigated. Like the Saudi connection, or who payed for the attack, and many more in my opinion.
Don't the victims families deserve to know who payed for their loved ones to be killed ? Yet we have no official answer on this question, as if it doesn't matter. But who is more guilty? 19 apparent footsoldiers...or the ones that payed them to do it?
edit: let me use this small analogy. If you hire a killer to kill your wife, and you pay him for it. Who is the killer?
Not a lot of innocents, at all. The psychopaths are only 4-7% of the overall population.
You are correct, however, that unwillingness to recognise the genuine magnitude of the evil of the American government, is the single main reason why most so-called rationalists insist on believing the official account of 9/11. The alternative is simply too unspeakable to contemplate; so they don't contemplate it.
It's not about wanting to protect the innocent. It's about protecting the guilty, because the person engaging in said protection, is too much of a coward to be willing to face the truth about said guilty parties' real nature.
If you think I and others enjoy gazing into the Abyss, to the extent that the actions of individuals like Richard Cheney morally require us to do, then think again. We don't do it because we like it, at all.
We do it because the only way to stop these monsters from committing such acts again, is to identify and expose them for who and what they truly are.
Here's another logical fallacy. I could call it the Appeal to Maturity. It implies that there is an inherent correlation between certain ideas and a person being an adult. It is part of the usual attempt to shame, belittle, or patronise an opponent.
Another element of what I've called the Wikipedia School of Rhetoric. As in, all the little people in the world don't need to trouble their poor heads about anything, because the all-wise, mature, "experts," and "authorities," have already figured it all out. Said rationale is nothing but an appeal to voluntary, self-imposed mental fascism.

Also, I would do a little more research into that 4-7% stuff. You are making some very uneducated assumptions about what those numbers mean and what a psychopath is and what they may or may not be capable of.

And you are unable to recognize the nature of conspiracist and their addiction to the thrill of paranoia.

No, its about protecting the innocent. Because sometimes what seem like harmless little lies promoted for the sake of spinning an interesting conspiracy yarn can actually hurt innocent people.

Really? Gazing into the Abyss? Being just a tad melodramatic there aren't you? And maybe its an Abyss because there's nothing there.
We do it because the only way to stop these monsters from committing such acts again, is to identify and expose them for who and what they truly are.
And not beause you think it makes you better than everyone else, this unique ability to see the "truth" when everyone else is mired in the fog?
Here's another logical fallacy. I could call it the Appeal to Maturity. It implies that there is an inherent correlation between certain ideas and a person being an adult. It is part of the usual attempt to shame, belittle, or patronise an opponent.
Well, actually there is a correlation between certain ideas and a person being an adult. That's why we consider them adults.

Well, its not that they have it all figured out, but they are working on it. And there are people that are experts and authorities. Its called specialization and complex cultures have been doing it for eons now.
They had a pretty good idea who was jerking them around and why.
So we take money out of the victim's fund and give it to whom and to do what? And don't just tell me a "new investigation" I want nuts and bolts. I want to know how your new investigation is going to satisfy EVERY conspiracy theory.
Actually I think we do know, I believe it was in the Commission report. And like I said, they are still investigating this from a criminal standpoint.
The husband and the hitman. But is the husband's boss guilty because he pays the husband and the husband used that money to pay the hitman?

Hey man...I will only say that it looks to me as if it was a demolition. I have no proof of it. I have stated many times, that debating on the evidence will get us nowhere.
The fact that the comitee members claim that the investigation was compromised...is enough for me. How about you? Enough to be at least suspicious? Or does that even matter...and if it doesn't...how come?
Huh? Anyway - what about all the conspiracy theories that say the families of the victims are lying or that the fireman are lying or that rescue workers are lying? Are they all psychopaths? Also, I would do a little more research into that 4-7% stuff.
