Re: Amazing what my class had to say about 9/11
<font color="gray">Anyway since noone challenged this muslim chick I think the teacher should have done it, regardless of her opinion. </font>
Why? Because the other students don't have the balls to? I like it when people are smug while saying something that is patently retarded.

[/ QUOTE ] Well I think one important part of college is teaching people to think critically about their own opinions and others, and anticipate reasonable questions or possible opposing viewpoints. That's why I think the teacher should be able to play devil's advocate here. NT

[ QUOTE ] So an authority figure suggests that an absurd relationship "could" be true.

[/ QUOTE ] Right, just cause this chick has a head scarf on she's automatically an extremist. And she probably believed what she's saying way before the teacher opened his mouth, and is merely stating what has always been her opinion in an environment where it is encouraged. NT [/ QUOTE ] lol Frank: "so who do you think responsible for 9/11?" Fred: "I think it was a US government conspiracy and that the US ordered an attack on its own people." Frank: "Wow dude, thats a pretty extreme view." Fred: "Ooooh, so just cause my name is fred, that automatically makes me an extremist."

This girl sounds like an ill informed sheep. There are always sheep on both sides. Thinking, objective people are few and far between. The sad thing is, most of you are sheep. The only difference between you and her is the sheppard you chose to blindly follow. [/ QUOTE ] Please go [censored] yourself, O Wise One.

[ QUOTE ]
at one point 70% of Americans thought that Saddam was behind the 9/11 attacks. People are stupid. Oh, and if anybody believes the loose change video, show them this. [/ QUOTE ] I must have missed this time, because as I recall 70% of the entire country thought Bin Laden was behind 9/11 from about 2 seconds after the second plane hit until right now.

Again, it's equally if not more likely that she came into the room with those beliefs before some prof started parroting "Loose Change" in his classroom. It's amazing the motives people can read into the actions of total strangers when recounted second hand. NT

Re: Amazing what my class had to say about 9/11
I'm pretty conservative. I wouldn't disagree with the girl's critique that the U.S. basically pisses on most of the rest of the world. But the "Bin Laden is secretly working for the FBI" talk is ludicrous.

Small minority puts forth a radical position, uninformed majority goes with the flow, and the informed minority is to scared to do anything. The pattern can be found in just about ever political tragedy that has ever occured. I'm assuming that she is ill-imformed, because i'm assuming that 9/11 wasn't an FBI conspiracy. If she has credible information to the contrary, I'd love to see it.
