Default I'm young and want some opinions. . . . .

Ok well I'm 2 months away from being 21 and not a registered voter. But I'm finding myself in the midst of a lot of people who are against our government. My mother and father are republican and me myself have never really taken a stand on either side of the situation. Well my friend turned me onto a video that talks about 9/11 and well its talkin about how our government is responsible for it and how it was planned. Wat bothers me is that a lot of the things they pointed out were just amazing but I don't know someone help me out here. . . . . .

here's the video but its an hour and a half long but I sat through it so if u want u can. thanx for the help

Loose Change 2nd Edition Recut

Find out the exact reasons they are against the admin. Ask them specifically what they don't like, the exact reasons they are against the current admin.

Then realize how you like to live YOUR life and think what aspect of the situation reflects the way you think.

Your parents are looking at this the correct way, but you need to make your own mind up.

You know you picked a subject that is almost as heated as FI vs. Carb!

Honestly thought, you need to do more than watch one movie. Remember that movies are made to convey a message and who knows if that message is skewed or misrepresented to make the movie more entertaining. Otherwise, how could they make any money? How do you know that what the person is trying to say is factual or not? (and to clarify, I did not watch the movie). You can watch 20 movies about 9/11 and each person can blame someone different. Will we really know what happened? Will we ever have the same level of information as the US Government? I am sure everyone can point out something that someone does wrong, after all it happens every day on Sports Center! If you really want to find things out, read, read, read, and read more. Only you can make the best decision for you! The best way to make your right decision is to be informed with as much of the facts as possible. Read articles from both sides and try to make up your own mind. You will find that people are blind on both sides and trying to get the whole truth will always be up to the interpretation of the person writing the story. You do have the ability to make a difference, but it is NOT an easy decision. Then after you make your decision, don't be surprised if it is wrong. Just take what you learned and apply it to the next one....

Good Luck

I know the first Loose Change was owned pretty hardcore buy Popular Mechanics. There was even a debate between the directors of that movie on some engineers and the directors got so frustrated they were calling the engineers fags and shit. Pretty professional.

I only blipped through some of the video but around 20:30 when they are trying to make it sound like the plane should be big recognizable chunks cause it's made of steel and titanium, it's not one fucking solid billet of either. Its like a racing bicycle, it's flimsy as hell. Comparing a plane that crashed into a building to one that crashed into a field? GTFO.

Around 37:00 they go with some garbage about steel 'melting' at lower temperatures than it melts at. Well steel dosen't need to fucking 'melt' to lose its important properties structurally. Take a fucking paperclip, bend it bend it bend it back, well eventually its gets real easy (the material is past its yield point), and then it breaks. It didn't get read hot, it didn't melt, it just failed. Have you heard of torque to yield head bolts? Same deal, up to a material's yield point, its strength is well defined, after that, its starts stretching and losing its strength in compression, tension, sheer etc. Well, you heat some steel column's up a few 1000 degrees, knock out some column's nearby to double the tributary load, and of course its going to lose strength.

I could go on and on, but that video is pretty much garbage.

How can you say that??

Just because they are republican does not mean they are looking at any of it the right way.

Just like saying "All high school kids are thugs"

Some republicans do not agree with the video and others agree with some of it, maybe even some like all of it. You never know what they believe unless you ask them or they tell you.

Sorry just had to point that out
