The burden of proof is not on the government, though they've already provided the proof.  All the answers to your questions can be answered here: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technol … ht77debris

I certainly see damage to the surrounding area, although I don't expect there to be damage just because an object moving at high speeds flew over top.  By that logic, there would be destruction to the area if a missle struck because a missle surely moves in excess of 500 mph.

I'm not playing an internet tough guy.  I'm with the majority so I have no reason to play tough.  Although your "dare" is laughable.

Maybe these will do.

I couldn't disagree more James.  We didn't invade Iraq until 18 months after 9/11. The emotional state of the country can't be blamed.  No one was conned into this war.  All the intel that exist today was available then.  There were plenty of people against the war for the very same reasons that came to fruition.  While intel certainly did support that probablility of WMDs in Iraq, there was faults in the intel that unfortunately were ignored.  That being said, the months of warnings and deliberation certainly afforded Sadam the oppurtunity to relocate those weapons to Syria.  Every component of a WMD was found in Iraq as well.  I'm not saying they existed, simply that the whole idea of being duped and total lack of cause is wrong.

If people emotionally supported an attack on another nation without doing the slightest bit of research, then they're more wrong than the people who led the charge.  Congress authorized and continues to support this war.  No amount of spin is going to change that. 

I was against the war from day one because I couldn't give a damn about an Iraqi life and they posed no threat to the US.  Now that we're there, I fully support staying until that region is secure and every last combatant is killed.  (PS, I'm actually on Active Duty so I'm not a rightwing chicken hawk).  If we do anything less than that, the region will collapse and become worse than we ever imagined.  This will force us to return to a much more dangerous and organzied warzone that will result in many more deaths.  I care only about American lives and will do whatever it takes to minimalize our loss, both present and future.

None of that means a damn thing.  Show me proof of smoke coming from the bottom of the tower, not some supposed eye witness who was traumatized from the event.  Secondly, why would smoke come from the bottom if an explosion took place as you claim?  Smoke only comes from fires or the aftermath of an explosion.  Physicist have proven time and time again that the "official" story is entirely feasible.  Just becuase you found a few who distort the events and claim it didn't doesn't make it impossible.  You choose to believe a few witnesses who think they heard something in lieu of the thousands who didn't.  I'm sorry, but none of these "witnesses" were qualified or in the right state of mind to judge what happened.

Point and case with your argument on cell phones on the plane.  Someone who is so certain of foul play would hopefully at least know that air phones are on every other seat on most airlines if not every seat.  You're using two clocks as a defense for your argument?  Are you kidding me.  Two clocks that aren't linked to a central computer happen to be 5 minutes slow.  You do understand that clocks lose time and the custodial staff probably has more pressing issues than making sure the thousands of clocks in that building are in synch.  Did it ever occur to you that those clocks could have been a personal clock in a cubicle and the person didn't care to keep it accurate.  Let's try an experiment Polluxlm.  Ask 10 different people the time when you're out and about and I bet you get several different answers.

OH NO!  The BBC reported a building fell before it did.  That must mean it was planned!  Or, as happens thousands of times, they reported an error.  I don't have the time line in front of me, but didn't they make a decision at some point not to save building 7?  Was that decsion made more than 30 minutes prior to its collapse.  Would it be logical for someone to say that Building 7 was gone based simply on the fact there was no effort to save it.  Furthermore, with 2 buildings already fallen, could someone have just jumped the gun and made an assumption?

Everything you list is circumstancial.  I honestly feel sad for people who buy into this because they are either socially inept or fucking retarded cause an educated or intelligent person wouldn't buy into this bullshit.  For all the "experts" on the Truthers side, there's thousands more on the side of reality.  You don't need a government conspiracy to add to your case that Bush is a fuckup.  You can make that aargument without visiting fantasia and Ron L Hubbard.

I'm sure some of you will "smite" me for this because I called you out and asking for actual proof.  I really couldn't give a damn.  When I see people posting bullshit that wouldn't pass for a high school report and claiming the mythical Illumanati, I have to ask for the check.  Having an intelligent conversation about this issue is apparently impossible here because most of you are incapable of an intelligent discussion and there's really not anything to discuss about 9/11.

3,000 people died because 19 angry, muslim men hijacked 4 planes and flew 3 of them into 3 different buildings.  No hollograms, no missles, no drones.  Thousands of people have died in relation to those attacks, a majority of which is fighting for their country.  I'll be damned if I'll let anyone dishonor their service and death by spreading hate and lies such as what is written here without at least a response.

This is obviously a huge privacy violation, but criminals lose their rights when they are convicted.  With capital punishment being taboo in most of the world, it is more cost effective to truly install the fear of big brother into those that won't benefit being behind bars for life.

I generally don't like slipper slop arguments because, well it's a logical fallacy.  If people were vigilant, we could have programs such as these without running the risk of it being forced on every citizen.
