And Rufus, dont forget the black helocopters, the green men at Roswell, and the movie set where we faked our moon landing.

Oh, if you get a chance, President Kennedy and Elvis would like a sausage pizza for supper.

Do you seriously not believe that there are black helicopters? Never heard of a Black Hawk, a Black Shark or a Black Chinook?

The SpaceShuttle program is so successful getting us 250 whole miles into space, there is no doubt we sent that neat little capsule 250,000 miles into space 40 years ago. Communications were spectacular back then, don't ya think? I wish my cell phone would work that well.

They are going to fake that also.

They probably intend to do it. That's why they have given themselves so much time. However, you're right, when they fail to figure out a way to do it, they'll fake it again.

ha!

I was raised on a healthy dose of conspiracy theories. If you'd like to know the real scoop on JFK, I can tell you. I'd probably have one on the moon landing and other Apollo flights except we were unfortunate enough for my dad to be affiliated with NASA, so there was no wiggle room there.

What this did for me was make me take most things at face value. I have a VERY hard time looking for hidden agendas. I have a very hard time hiding my agenda.

Everyone has an agenda! Mine is to be kind and loving - to spread peace and good-will. ;)

I guess, my agenda would be Praise the Lord !!!!!!!!

I try and keep people informed of the major news events coming from the Israel/Palestine war, and think I've done a fair job at that. I've slacked off a little, lately, but not much changes over there now that the wall is built. With it being next to impossible to kill innocent Jews, they've turned on each other. But yes, an agenda of mine is to keep putting them news stories up, even when nobody responds.

Another agenda is to have fun, here. Today's discussions, for the most part, have been a blast.

BYW, you do a good job of peace & good will spreadin', if you ask me.

Some conspiracy theories have truth to them. Some don't. It just takes some discernment.

Such as TWA flight 800 with many, many witnesses that something out of the ordinary, instead of an "I heard that she said..." type of trail, or "secret government documents..."

Has anyone here ever heard of the "miracle shot"? It's when you make a truly miraculous shot. You can usually not repeat it. I use it from a gun, but it could be the throw-the-ball-over-your-head-make-it-in-the-basket-at-the-far-end-to-beat-the-buzzer game shot. When I was in high school, I placed 3rd in the state of Tennessee in shooting, and a fellow I worked with had heard stories (and my hunting partner used to take bets on my shooting). He placed an empty oil bottle 100 yards away and wanted me to shoot it with my shotgun, which had a slug in it. The shotgun was really, really old, and while classic, not a great gun for accuracy. Well, I drilled it. It was a miracle shot. He wanted to see me do it again, and I refused "because the gun is not designed for slugs..." (Which was the truth.)

Well, by the same token, you see these idiots single-handedly pull off these amazing feats of terrorism, and you find it hard to believe. But, how many have failed that you've never heard of?

You hear about and remember the miracle shot. You hear about the hijacked plane that flies into a building, but the unknown terrorist that blows himself up in the privacy of his own hovel is not front page news.

The ones that succeed you hear about; the ones that don't, you won't usually hear about.

It's all about perception.

Are you suggersting that the hijackers pulled off a miracle shot into WTC-1, a miracle shot into WTC-2, a miracle non-shot into WTC-7, a miracle shot into the Pentagon (all within hours of each other) and God just didn't give them the miracle in Pennsylvania?
