My news station just reported on those, and showed them, about and hour or two ago.

That's right; when I want to prove myself wrong, I try to find reasons; but that still means I presented myself with counterarguments, actually... I kinda told myself "wait, there [A], but when [B] happens, then [C]... would that actually mean that [D] ?"
It is useful to doubt, we always have to doubt, to wonder if we're right or not; but when it has a use. When there is something that tells us "what if ?..."
If there isn't even the slightest "what if ?...", why doubt ?
It's like, if you tell me "I saw a duck holding two knives and a gun and shooting and murdering dogs while performing kung-fu !"... why should I even doubt and wonder "well maybe he's right".
And sometimes, yes, some thoughts are full of shit and don't even deserve to be looked at -EXCEPT if they have some king of weight.
A thought that has no weight can't make one doubtful.


So, I'm going to paraphrase you to check if I understand your point completely: You're saying that there are some arguments or theories which are so outlandish,ridiculous or illogical, that they shouldn't be considered or cause doubt?

Well, I disagree with that. I say that when you see a duck murdering dogs with ancient kung fu, you have to stop and wonder why. All arguments should be considered with equal rigor, no matter what. This is due to the complete uncertainty that comes with life. You can never be 100% sure of anything. How do you know that you're not stuck in a hospital somewhere, suffering from delusions? Sure, arguments like this lead to no end, but I'm trying to say that you should never be so quick as to discard something at a glance. It's a blame often put on scientist, that they'd be so stuck on ideas firmly vested in the accepted consensus, that they'd never seriously consider alternatives. This is an argument often used by creationists and the like. A "true" scientist would never do this of course, but I'm warning you not to stray down that path.

@KirinKalo I'm afraid you are going about this the wrong way. First unfunny waste of space, time and resources and insulting proletariats, and then trying to start up a serious discussion, about something as controversial as 9/11 conspiracies none the less? Bad move. While your current posting style seems to be thought out and better worded, I'm afraid you're just a bad writer. You're posts are too convoluted and jumping from one point to another at random and it's hard to make up the core of it. I suggest you make another post explaining briefly and to the point what it is you want off your chest, and link us to sources backing up your stuff. You may not be 100% certain of their reliability yourself, but let us be able to judge it for ourselves. That is, if you're serious about this.

No, in order to get into this brotherhood, you need to kill someone first. When you go to bed, you'll be visited by one of us. We will then give you a mission to kill some deadbeat loser, probably a rapist, with a knife. Once you kill him, the same person who visited you will show up again, and give you directions to our headquarters.


What if I found your headquarters already just by exploring? Also the password was "Entei." Might want to change that.


...

Excuse me. I have to go out for a bit.

Very obvious photoshop. I can tell by looking at the pixels.

I think they just used a lot of makeup on that one.

That... was kind of a silly way of putting it, but he's got a point?

Indeed. God hasn't left Congress yet, it seems. Might as well pander to the audience.

I shit. I totally forgot to say what he was talking about.
Minnesota politicians voted to add constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage to a ballet in 2012.
And that video was a speech on politician made against the amendment.

Florida just got rid of domestic partnership, removing even the possibility of gay couples living together getting any benefits at all.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and say good. Let all those states ban gay marriage. Why? Because the faster they begin trying, the faster those cases are going to climb the legal rungs until they end up smack dab in front of the US Supreme Court.

Then, and only then, will the issue be settled once and for all. And the chances of them upholding the ban are slim.

Cases don't get taken to the Supreme Court when the states pass laws. Several states already have explicitly outright banned gay marriage and the Supreme Court isn't saying anything. In the meantime, people's rights are being infringed upon because the legislature is run by old, closed-minded men.
