[QUOTE="newusername, post: 3263242, member: 562064"] It's no conspiracy theory: it's empirical evidence. I don't necessarily think that the US directly ordered the attack (although that is possible) but I do believe that they used it as an excuse for their own gains. Be careful to avoid being so anti-conspiracy theory that you avoid the truth as well. The only things we really know are our opinions and interpretations of events. Sure we can do both; don't recall arguing otherwise. What I DID argue for is acceptance that there are bigger tragedies on the planet than a plan crashing into a building. Emo has nothing to do with it. This is possibly the worst use of the term "emo"...and I've seen a lot of them. I don't think this has much with my being Canadian; I will, however, say that I believe Canadians are generally more open-minded. Glad you agree, though. You make a very valid point. The job of a government should be to serve it's own people, so if the money is in the hands of the taxpayer, they can do as they see fit, rather than the government using the money to fulfill their own personal agenda. Touche. It's true that it doesn't help the stock price, but you're implying that financial success for a few is more critical than social and international success for all. Not sure I agree with you on that one. It is quite easily proven. No need to roll your eyes. Well at least we agree there. [/QUOTE]
