I can't believe the following response was rated "insightful":
"Number 18 is the standard "The US Government Made 9/11 Happen!" paranoid conspiracy crap. If this was ignored by the media, GOOD!"
"Paranoid"?
"Conspiracy?"
"Crap"?
"GOOD!"?!
It is now deemed "GOOD" for the media to ignore reporting the largely unknown (under-reported) fact that many quite highly qualified individuals seriously question the official story behind what is quite possibly the most important recent event in United States history?!
You sir are a troll. Someone who, upon having made up their own mind regarding the so-called facts of the case, are now bound and determined to see that the case remains closed (like your mind) by encouraging the suppression of dissenting views and/or new evidence/opinions on the matter. After all it's only YOUR view that counts, right?
People like you make me sick to my stomach.
I may not buy into many of the current theories floating around out there regarding what actually happened on 9/11 or who was behind it and why, but at least I, unlike you, am open-minded enough to at least listen to and entertain the possibility that some of the more well thought-out and investigated and, dare I say it, PROBABLE ones just MAY merit more serious and thoughtful investigation (not to mention reporting).
Please understand that I am, NOT necessarily saying the [under-]reporting of such theories/questions is necessarily censorship, but regarding censorhsip I can say the following with absolute certainty:
Censorship sucks, as do closed minds such as yours that seemingly support it.
Furthermore, even non-physical things can be considered toxic - most ideas taken to extreme have been shown to have negative physical consequences for the holders of these ideas. From peace extremists, to defense extremists, to health extremists, to even low-stress extremists, virtually all philosophies and ideas can be shown to be completely toxic in large doses.
It's the OTHER arseholes out there on the road who I have to share the road with that I DON'T trust.
If you get into your automobile and put on your safety belt and DON'T get into an accident then you've wasted maybe 3 seconds of your life.
But if you get into your automobile and DON'T put on your safety belt and DO get into an accident (due to one or more of the aforementioned arseholes) then you could have wasted your entire life.
Therefore, if you value your life -- as well as the lives of your passengers -- the only prudent choice is to always, ALWAYS wear your safety belt.
If I got an email claiming to be from my bank, I would probobly[sic] delete it.
And therein is part of the problem: you would probably delete it (as in there's a chance you might not).
Me, I definitely would delete it.
No question about it.
That is unless it contained a message from Barrister Ken Murphy, a solicitor at law based in London, United Kingdom, and the Personal Attorney to Mr. Mark Contraras, a national of my country, who used to work with British Petroleum Company, regarding some type of confidential financial transaction having to do with the sum of $14.7 million U.S dollars (Fourteen Million, Seven Hundred thousand US dollars) of which I'd get, say, a 40 percent cut right off the top for my services.

Including satire too? AAAUUUGGGHHH!

(NO CARRIER)
I'm sure we can all remember the first digit: 3, right?
:)
But it's all those digits (decimal places) that follows the 3 that we all have trouble remembering, right?
So okay. Just memorize the following simple phrase:
"I wish I could recollect pi easily today"
The number of letters in each word are the first 8 decimal digits:
1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5
Thus PI is approximately: 3.14159265...
Which should be <i>plenty</i> long enough for most calculations.
The only hard part of course is remembering to use the word "recollect" instead of "remember".
Fuckin' ay!
Look at it this way:
I trust my own driving skills.

But sheesh, what are the chances of THAT??
