Honestly, I believe in some unpopular shit. But I seriously don't see what is so difficult to understand about air liners full of fuel crashing into buildings at 500 mph taking them down. 747s carry a lot of fuel. Steel melts. Fuck, humans were making steel thousands of years ago. It's not like the melting point is terribly difficult to reach. Hell, it wasn't even the first time those assholes tried to destroy the buildings.

It's sort of like JFK I guess. People just don't want to believe that idiots living in caves can hurt us like they did. After all, we're America the invincible. Just as people don't want to believe Oswald could kill such a popular president by himself. Conspiracies turn victims into martyrs.

Believing in conspiracies also makes you think you're somehow special for "not being fooled like everybody else" or for knowing things everybody else doesn't.

Even if you suspect there may be some conspiracy behind something, you really can't do anything more than ask more questions. Acting on your suspicions before getting more facts just leads to witch hunts.

It goes both ways as well, though. Often I see skeptics who are just as zealous as the believers. Some dude faked a film with an alien? That proves it! Aliens are a hoax! Mystery solved! Everybody who believes in ETs are nuts!

It's also ok to neither believe nor disbelieve in something. Sometimes I think everybody forgets that you don't have to commit belief in anything. "Inconclusive" should really be a common response to "do you believe in..." queries.

In this case though, I'm going with the brainwashed Muslim whack jobs murdering innocent people in the name of Allah belief. There is far more evidence in ET than Bush ordering planes into the towers.
