That's not entirely accurate Clayton.

For example: You are a member of this forum, and given your comments in the 9/11 subforum, the Holocaust threads and the vaccine threads it could be argued that you are pushing several agendas.


ETA - I suppose it's possible that by "single agenda" you could mean a bias towards documented evidence, fact, reality and so on. If that's the case, I for one am guilty as charged.


ETA2 - bugger, now it appears as if I edited my post after reading Oystein's post. I swear that wasn't the case your honour!

Correct. This is the JREF forum, and the JREF's Mission is stated on the About the Foundation page:

Specifically, we here in the 9/11 sub-forum seek to educate ourselves, and you, about irrational beliefs and woo concerning 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, by debunking them and explaining reality using facts, reason and rational logic. That is our common agenda.

Why do you think that's funny?

Just the opposite. I've never read so many lies that support agendas of misinformation, misdeeds, and hate.

True enough. There ARE a lot of conspiracy kooks posting here.

Should they be ignored, or indulged?

That would be the question

Fortunately for us, this coming from an ideologue as blatantly biased as you is pretty much meaningless.

Seeking evidence and the application of it with logical examination is the fundamental agenda here, so why is that so difficult for you to acknowledge?

Speaking of nukes NO ONE in the Twoofer movement has ever answered this question of mine:

If the Bush Administration was so clever to pull off 9/11 and had no problem murdering thousands of innocent Americans, then why didn't they plant WMD's in Iraq so that the Bush Administration's legacy wasn't tarnished even more?

While also escalating the self-parody, which was pretty extreme to begin with. Rowan Atkinson couldn't invent a character this oblivious.

So god noticed them, didn't do anything to stop them, let about 3,000 die that day, allowed 2 wars to happen, & let... what... hundreds of thousands, millions die in said wars?

...k...

Either these people obviously don't care about hell so there is no reason why they wouldn't plant the WMDs, & since no WMDs were found it's likely they only exist in your imagination.

Or... (according to your logic)

God is a dick & as a dick they & those who protect them are going to the gated community in heaven near the best schools, supermarkets, transportation, with easy access to the highway, & views of mountains, the ocean, downtown, & a hot chick's bedroom just to piss you off.

What I don't get is why CM keeps trotting that out when it was admitted that there were no WMD found.

You'd think that if the evil empire government managed to blow the twin towers up without leaving a trace of evidence behind while making it look like what actually happened that day, it would be child's play to plant any kind of WMD they wanted to.

He's a truther. He's dodging the questions by playing semantics. It's the only way they can argue.
