    Osama bin laden dead?

    The story doesn't have to be particularly well built. We live in a system where the official institutions feed a story to the media and they just go along with it. By extension, most of the people will also go with it and even defend it against possible questions, no matter how reasonable they...

    Osama bin laden dead?

    Thanks, but I have my own copy. :) There seems to be a bit of anger in your words...

    Osama bin laden dead?

    I'm an agnostic, but to read isolated quotes out of the bible is utterly absurd. Those texts were written more than two thousand years ago in dead languages (ancient hebrew, aramaic, ancient greek and latin) and trying to interpret them out of their cultural, historical and anthropological...

    Osama bin laden dead?

    It's amazing how a discussion on Bin Laden's death quickly turns into a theological debate. :) In the end I guess it's all a matter of faith (in God or Government).

    Why must we agree?

    It's a basic human need, to feel that our opinions are validated by someone else. Maybe it comes out of our innate fear of loneliness. It's hard to go through life feeling that we are alone in our way of thinking. It's also food for one's ego (to have our opinions recognized by someone else is...

    Osama bin laden dead?

    The mediatized culture in which we live produces information at such a rate that virtuality becomes a problem. If you trust that the newspapers and TV channels double-check the data they receive and have reliable sources, then you'll have no problem in taking what they say as true or, at least...

    Osama bin laden dead?

    It's only appropriate that Bin Laden's body was thrown into the ocean. Obama will be surfing on that corpse all the way to his reelection in 2012. :)

    Osama bin laden dead?

    If they produced a photo or video of the corpse would any of us be able to identify Bin Laden? Wouldn't there be many saying that such proof was a fake (how difficult can it be to fake such a thing?). More important than the real physical death of Osama Bin Laden is the official proclamation...

    Osama bin laden dead?

    There seemed to be little trouble when someone posted videos of Saddam Hussein's hanging in Iraq.

    Was he ever alive to start with?

    Osama bin laden dead?

    This event seems to have a great sociological importance for some sectors of the US public - it provides some form of closure. It's also a bit cathartic specially since we're a few months away from the 10th anniversary of 9/11. For Obama and his administration it provides a welcome breath of...

    Osama bin laden dead?

    The thing that bothers me about this Bin Laden death business is the huge party that many made around the world. How can someone be happy with the terrible events that have led to these latest news? Almost 3000 americans killed in 9/11, countless Afghan and Iraqi civilians killed in two still...

    the pentagon

    I understand your skepticism on the 9/11 conspiracies and also on the UFO subject and actually agree with some of your remarks. The problem is the generalization that is implicit in your words. To put everyone and everything into the same conspiracy theory loony bag is unfair and possibly...

    new 9/11 roumor going round

    Two planes hit th WTC towers - no doubt about it! The no plane theory is just absurd and it comes out of minds that hava absolutely no knowledge about video imagery and deliberately fail to see that many of the incongruences in the images come from the poor quality of the source, unfocused...

    the pentagon

    Lacking more data, I have to stick with the official explanation. Nevertheless, that will never stop me from questioning some aspects that seem quite suspicious to me such as: - How was it possible that 4 planes disappeared from the radar (the transponders were disconnected by the terrorists, so...

    the pentagon

    . Conspiracy theories aside, I don't think that the whole, raw truth about what happened on 9/11 will ever be known. There are too many holes in the official version and that originated a plethora of questions and suppositions that go from the intelligent to the outright absurd. The real...

    the pentagon

    Personal battles aside, there's something that would shed away any doubt about what actually hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 - the surveillance videos. It's absurd that 10 years after the fact the american people and the world still haven't been presented with precious video evidence that...

    the pentagon

    The picture that Ron Collins presented corresponds to a phase where the outer ring had already collapsed due to the fire that followed the impact. I've asked myself many times if a Boeing had actually crashed into the Pentagon at a relatively high speed, it should have touched the ground but...

    Obama Birth Certificate

    Sure he may be black and even born outside the US for all that matters. That's where the differences regarding the previous presidents end.

    Bigfoot Photo New...

    To me it looks like a fake. These kind of photos emerge every once in a while just to keep the Bigfoot theme alive. So many years have gone by and the evidence for this being's existence is as thin as it was in the beginning. My question is: if Bigfoot lives in the wild tracts of North America...
