Well, now I know that the WTC7 conspiracy isn't as clear-cut as I thought. Now it seems to be a perfect balance between conspiracy and not, neither seem to have proof and most of it (on both sides, mostly the anti-conspiracy) is just picking at peoples opinions and choice of words rather than actual scientific evidence. On the conspiracy side, it looks like the worst of it is getting the science wrong or twisting it.
With that said, I don't know what I believe in regard to what really happened on 9/11. I do believe Muslim terrorists are involved one way or another and I do believe the government can't be trusted to care for this country to the best of their ability and in some cases they use their power to cause harm for their own advantage.

I've basically realized why the debate is so endless, because the evidence isn't as clear as I thought on either side and the debate has morphed into pointless finger pointing at what people say.
With that, I'm smart enough to realize I'm not smart enough to make a difference in a debate I'm not sure of anymore myself. So I'm not going to continue debating and just hope the real truth eventually comes out on top (but I have doubts it would ever end).
I still think most people (not all) who believe one way or another don't have a full understanding and open mind about it; just like I was when I was supporting the conspiracy theory, I had the open mind but I didn't have as much of an understanding on the non-conspiracy side.

BTW I don't think that XKCD comic has any real worthy meaning to it, it's just stereotypical. Just because someone believes one conspiracy theory doesn't mean he blindly believes them all, in fact I think a huge majority of people who believe a conspiracy theory only believe one with an intelligent perspective.

And stop that "your stupid" crap, it just makes you look like one of those closed mind fanboys that don't even use facts to support their opinion. I'm not saying you don't have an open mind, I'm just saying it's stupid to call people stupid, especially without supporting evidence, and in any case it's mean and intentionally so.
