I’m a 9/11 denier! Not that I don’t believe the official story, but that it never happened! CNN, MSNBC, CBS, etc. all conspired to fake footage shot by Spielberg and play it over and over on a loop for weeks. The government convinced or bribed 3000 people to disappear and assume new identities. The WTC wasn’t even there in the first place, it was a long con where the buildings were originally created but was hollow inside. They did it just so it can be used in a simulated terror attack decades afterwards. And the reason? Just so Becky Smith’s birthday will be forever ruined for not inviting me to her 11th birthday! That bitch, they had Spiderman there! I missed Spiderman!! :mad::mad::mad: ---

Do we really want to encourage this? Where’s Skald with his delicious desert ideas? Let’s talk about those instead. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Im going to go against the grain here and engage in an actual debate with the OP. > > “Let it Happen on Purpose” needs to be abbreviated as LHP, not LIHOP. The latter, while catchy and able to be pronounced “lie-hop”, is not a TLA and elevates “it” and “on” to too high status. LHP wins. That’s a pretty big blanket statement there. There are many factors involved. Days of rest, the weather, the park, batters faced, etc. Yes, an LHP is a great thing to have and will always be scouted out during free agency, but occasionally the RHP wins as well. ---

You know, I have read all three of jroth7’s posts in this thread and I will be damned if I can figure out what his actual take on 9/11 really is. And frankly, I don’t much care. > [@Czarcasm](#): > > With a conspiracy this vast and powerful there is only one thing we could possibly do: give up. > I suggest to The Powers That Be that we ban this topic forevermore, lest we bring down the wrath of THE POWERS THAT BE that secretly control The Powers That Be.

Guys, if I understand the OP right, this is a new take on 9/11 trutherism: that 9/11 truthers are part of a vast conspiracy _themselves_. ---
