When Al-Qaeda themselves claimed responsibility, even with overwhelming evidence aside? Why were so many people still reluctant, I was researching about this stuff and was shocked to see people who I respect a lot believe in this

    during THE LEAD UP

    You could’ve said that before, and that still doesn’t make anyone stupid.

    But what is it with people on this platform getting off on calling others stupid for not meeting their arbitrary standards? So odd.

      Arbitrary? Not knowing major events like this is not arbitrary. Screaming and yelling you are an America hater who doesn’t care about 9/11 because you oppose the war in Iraq isn’t arbitrary. Then or now.

      This isn’t a ‘this platform’ thing. It’s reality.

        Yes, it’s arbitrary to call people stupid because they forget. But of all the things they could be, why is stupid the go-to insult?

        Screaming and yelling you are an America hater who doesn’t care about 9/11

        What are you on about?

        This isn’t a ‘this platform’ thing. It’s reality.

        Lol Sure, dude, you and the bunch of people calling everyone else is stupid agree on that. Idk what they put in the water on these social media sites for some folks to pretend that they’re the only smart people in the room at all times.

          I’m on about exactly what I’ve been talking about all this time. This isn’t a matter of ‘I think Iraq maybe did 9/11’.

          I’m talking about heated argument from people who are so convinced about that that they literally scream and yell. I have had those exact words screamed in my face by a person you are convinced is intelligent for some weird reason.

          As for the rest of the post…it’s ignorant and irrelevant bullshit. I’ve never claimed I’m the only smart person in the room. Only that if you believe that Iraq caused 9/11 and will argue this point till you are blue in the face you are a moron. Simple as that. Saying something INCREDIBLY STUPID can, very easily, prove you are stupid.
