    Ok genuine question coming up.

    Now some on here see me as a Conspiracy Theorist. Thats fine, some believe it, some wum whatever, its cool

    But what constitutes a conspiracy theory?

    For example i do wonder how did 19 people with quite basic flight training, manage to do some complicated manouvre's - is a question to me. it doesnt deny that planes crashed into the towers.

    how come we never (we as in human beings from whatever country) return to the moon? - this is not saying we havent been


    Does questioning the official line, or questioning something that doesnt make sense automatically constitute a CT?

    19 didn't have flight training. 4 did.

    flight 11 - a 90 degree turn is hardly a complicated manouvere

    flight 175 - a 180 degree turn isn't complicated

    flight 77 - another 180

    93 - 180 again

    also, 3 of these pilots had earned their commercial licences. hardly "basic flight training", eh?

    lets say you are right, as this distracts from my question

    but does asking the question constitute a CT?

    Why did the gentleman terrorist thread get closed?

    I've seen much worse threads on here not get closed.

    you mean this discredits your claims?

    to answer your Q, yes it does. you're claiming something different to the official account of things, insinuating there's some sort of high power concealing the truth

    all bollocks.

    reason i say that or ask the question is because I actually dont buy into a lot of the conspiracy theory stuff ( i know some will laugh). However I just think certain questions/issues dont get satisfactory answers.

    and if you ask you get labelled

    We did return to the moon but there was a rock kind of thing with a mind of its own and it infected one of the astronauts and he was left behind and then the second guy was accused of bein infected and was not rescued , it was really harrowing. i seen it on apollo 18 <ok>

    @ Irishgreen - does that answer your question

    This is exactly why i started the thread and asked the question. Its also why i said the bit about distracting from the question

    how does asking if its possible for trainee pilots to do what happened on 9/11 (which was an example by the way) suddenly become an insinuation of higher powers concealing truths?

    do i think the us government were behind it? no.

    do i think they shot down flight 93? i dont think so. although its much easier to praise a bunch of passengers as heroes, rather than admitting you had to take the difficult decision of shooting down a plane full of US citizens so i can see why they would "cover it up"..but i dont think they did anyway

    it's possible because its happened. or are you blind? unless you're insinuating that they didn't do it and hence, something more sinister is at play?

    no i am simply asking what constitutes a conspiracy theory, nithing more nothing less

    As its 9/11 tomorrow and we have had a few threads on the issue, i thought i would use that as an example.

    I havent insinuated anything. And if you want that debate/discussion i will gladly do so if you start another thread.
