For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn’t be believed, or being influenced to believe something that’s not necessarily in your best interests.

    I said you were acting like one. At any rate, I know when someone is trying to troll. This is a very touchy topic for a lot of people. I apologize if I offended you.

    Having spent a great deal of time studying this decades ago I really don’t want to talk about it unless you are someone who has an insight. I have had thousands of conversations online and in person about this topic and frankly I am over it.

    Ultimately, regardless of how much you do or don’t believe the government it sidesteps the real issue. And that issue is 9/11 was used to take away our rights and start multiple needless wars of aggression.

      Alright, it is absolutely fair to just be over a topic that has been talked to death and doesn’t mean anything anymore.

      I fully agree that the response to 9/11 was insane in terms of the US loosing freedoms, and I wonder how the country would be if that didn’t happen…
