No aircraft hit World Trade Center building 7. But yet it fell to a pile of dust in 6 seconds.

Since it is being claimed the the taliban and al-qaeda did 9-11 … how did the taliban and al-qaeda get the demolition explosives inside Building 7 between 9 am and 5 pm on Sept 11, and set all the explosives … when it take TWO WEEKS to set the explosives to bring down a 47 story building.

It is completely clear that WTC7 was brought down by demolition — watch the videos — how did al-qauda do this ? ? ?

It’s all more deception to start another proxy war.

You must be thinking of the Ravens. Or Raiders. Or somewhere in Ohio… Seriously!

Why do some people believe the 1st Amendment guarantees protection from ridicule along with freedom of speech?

Yup, haven’t gotten one since. I also did not receive a reply of any kind from any of the fools I had written back to asking what they were thinking and if they realized how stupid they were making the average American look. That was troubling to me, especially since I knew at least one of those people. Oh well..

Rashard Mendenhall, I don’t really care about your opinions. I don’t agree, but there are far more things in this world to be concerned with.

After reading about this and seeing that 7 of the top 10 topics on PFT are related to this, I have to say that Rashard Mendenhall has made me write five words I never thought I would type:

I miss Brett Favre. Almost.

Most people care about what happens in their own little world. Their ideologies are formed by their upbringings and they’ll buy anything that supports what they already believe, no matter how far-fetched–especially, for some reason, if it’s an anonymous urban legend circulated in an e-mail. I always politely debunk those e-mails and include supporting references. It’s worked out beautifully for me. No one sends them to me anymore. Peace at last

No personal relationship existed between the Bush family and Osama bin Laden, who broke from his own family long ago. A better question is how much of the American public realizes Sadam Hussein was in power and able to murder thousands over the years because the U.S. supported his regime until it no longer profited us? The answer is a small percentage. An even smaller percentage understands how American foreign policy contributed to the destabilization of Iran in the 70s, and that American defense contractors often supply weapons to both sides in a conflict–and to people using those weapons against our own troops.

And no matter how much it’s been publicized, a large percentage of the population refuses to believe Iraq had no WMDs and played no role in 9/11. But it certainly doesn’t help credibility when educated people leave the track of what’s provable in order to embrace extremist theories that have no factual basis.

And make no mistake … the United States government is not unique. All governments act in their own self-interests, and all government representatives are capable of corruption. Canada is still a Constitutional monarchy under Queen Elizabeth II … and I am well familiar with the corruptions and duplicities of the British government both historically and recently. The United States has also done great good throughout the world. After all, if not for American sacrifices, most of Europe and Great Britain would be governed by the Nazis.

As for Mendenhall … he did not make any of the points you did. He made a foolish comment about the planes and the towers that’s been refuted by countless experts in the field. Then he said we’ve only heard one side of the story, when Al Qaeda has worked diligently at spreading its doctrine worldwide. He was 13 when the towers fell and demonstrated that he was operating from things he’s heard through the years and not from any substantive research he’s done on his own. I support his right to share his views. But he has to understand that actions have consequences. If any of us speak our minds on the job, we risk angering our employers and losing our jobs. That’s the tradeoff.

Take care.

As long as you’re an NFL fan and not a troll, I don’t have a problem with you being here. I’m not a naive person, have lived in dangerous places outside the U.S., and am well aware what governments–mine included–are capable of doing to achieve their own ends. My government has a long history of propping up puppet regimes run by ruthless despots without caring what they did to their people as long as they waved American flags when necessary. And those decisions have repeatedly come back to haunt us.

I also know segments of my government used 9/11 to manipulate foreign and domestic policy for their own ends, in some cases out of a warped sense of doing what was “best” for the country and in some cases for personal gain. And private industry has used 9/11 and its aftermath to amass billions in profits.

Throughout human history, evil and enterprising people have used war and destruction to their own ends, and found a way to profit from tragedy. I’m sure right now unscrupulous people are finding a way to profit from the deadly storm that ripped through the American South.

But there is a line between foolishly and recklessly engaging in policies over a period of time that eventually become combustible, then using those events to advantage … and deliberately orchestrating those events. That’s where you and I part company. You have dot dot dot dot dot–and I’ll give you that. But then you’re missing several dots … sort of like those missing dino DNA strands in Jurassic Park. And you guys have filled in those missing dots with unsubstantiated speculation that makes for a colorful conspiracy theory but conflicts with many known facts. In fact, you can go back through your own list and your GIANT leap sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb.

No one has produced actual evidence showing or even implying the 9/11 attacks themselves were orchestrated, planned, or carried out by anyone but bin Laden. They were accomplished because of failures in security and leadership, but no one has uncovered any unusual behavior associated with those failures.

I was not a Bush supporter. But despite all the theories about the Bush family, no one has found a dollar trail to show they profited in the way you’re suggesting. I loved Farenheit 911, but the Carlyle Group is an investment fund in which distant members of the bin Laden family had holdings, and the elder Bush occasionally served as an advisor. I have holdings in many companies through my IRA and have no idea who else has holding or what prominent figures advise those organizations. Again … dots that don’t connect and and no money trail.

You have to be savvy enough to know people in your government don’t always wear white hats, and discerning enough to carefully examine accusations and evidence before buying everything you hear.

If he rushes for 2,000 yards no one IN PITTSBURGH will care.

Pittsburgh fans have shown themselves morally bankrupt. I guess that comes from living in an area with nothing going for it than a football team.

He has the right to say it, that’s not the issue.

But if he rushes for 2,000 yards, no one will care.

Next tell us how the pick six he threw in the SB was because he was up late visiting kids in the hospital.

Open your flipping eyes and take off the black glasses.

Yes, they have the right to speak and yes, employers have the right to get rid of them if they don’t agree. We have a right of free speech. We don’t have a right to play in the NFL or a right to endorsement deals.

I think multiple rapes are worse than being stupid. Of course the Steelers have plenty of both. And they’re not all on the field.

Mendenhall expresses his opinion … How many times has Mendenhall been accused of rape, crashed his motor cycle and been suspended by the NFL?

Roethlisberger was driving less than 30mph when a woman ran a stop sign and hit him. Medical evidence shows he was falsely accused of a rape that didn’t occur. But he was still suspended for reckless behavior and he did lose endorsement deals.

Actions have consequences whether you’re riding a motorcycle without a helmet, getting sloppy drunk with bimbos, or mouthing off on Twitter. They are public figures and this is their livelihood. They need to treat that responsibly. Just because they have the right to speak doesn’t mean intelligent adults share everything they think with their bosses and the public at large if they want to keep their jobs.

That Champion dumped him,

or that Retard Mendenhall’s great endorsement deal was effectively for Kmart clothes.

But let’s hear how it’s not his fault.

Heck, he didn’t even rape anyone and we all know that’s acceptable.

Bin Laden family= dough ray me money as in tons of money.
Bin Laden family = big friends to the Bush family.
Bin Laden family gives tons of money to the Bush family.
Osama Bin Laden fighting with the help of Americans defeat the Soviet Union from invading Afghanistan.
Osama and the Americans= closer than 2 peas in a pod.
Afghanistan after the war is in shambles, Osama begs for American help to rebuild, America `s reply flock off.
Osama pissed at U.S.
BTW Osama is a Saudi.
Saudi`s = Oil Black Gold lots of lots of money.
U.S.A. Big buyer of Oil to Saudi Arabia.
Osama begins terrorist campaign funded by American money. USA buys oil, Saudi give Osama money.
Saudi`s 19 of them hijack planes and fly them in the twin towers.
people of Saudi Arabia funded by Saudi Arabia by American have attacked the USA so in return they bombed the hell out of Afghanistan pretending to try and capture Bin Laden and then bomb the hell out of Iraq.
never think of trying to Attack saudi Arabia.
meanwhile back at the ranch pre 9/11 Bush asks Congress for 1Billion to fight terrorist but is turned down after 9/11 Bush asks for 20 Billion and gets it. Military contracts are awarded and shares of companies who get these contracts soar… Carlyle group does better than most, 2 members of Carlyle group Georges Papa and long time friend Osama Bin Laden`s brother…thanks to 9/11 they made a killing. the 5,000 people who lost their life had a purpose they did not die in vain it made the Bush family and the Bin Laden family richer.

He is so stupid. How did he ever pass the third grade.

Oh! Yes, one more thing …..can he spell “engineer” without reading my note here.

I see what you’re saying, but i disagree… sure, with great freedom comes great responsibility… but it’s free to talk, there’s no doubt about that… the word freedom doesn’t mean that there are no consequences…

rather, there are always consequences (good or bad)… Free speech is the liberty of not being censored or smothered when trying to say something… We take it for granted in this country, but it’s just about the coolest thing we got going for us… especially in this economy, cuz it’s FREE!

I’m familiar with the program and will be happy to watch the documentary. Thank you for the link, which I’ve now saved.

But I’ll be blunt: Other Canadians have used this site and this occasion to rip on the United States and post vile comments about U.S. Forces. While I do not agree with every action taken by my government in the last decade and welcome open dialogue among Americans, I don’t care what Canadians think about us. If you have a problem with Canada’s participation in the Allied Forces, take that up with your government.

Your username suggests you are just trolling here to spread theories on 9/11. Many Americans are capable of doing that, thanks. Someone who hates football has no need to be here, and I wish site moderators would limit participants to those who have an actual interest in the site topic.

Can’t speak for other Steeler fans, but I’ve never blamed Mendenhall for the Super Bowl loss. That was a rare fumble for him, and I credited it to the excellent play of your defense on the night. And I think his comment about only knowing one side was foolish and immature, not evil.

Whenever things like this happen, people wail about free speech. Nothing is free in this world. Everything has a tradeoff.

The price Mendenhall risked paying when he exercised the freedom to ramble publicly on controversial subjects was alienating his employers and a large segment of the population. He could have chosen to discuss this privately with his family as most of us did. Instead, he chose to air his thoughts in public, knowing he had an audience because of his position with the Steelers. He willingly put his livelihood on the line, and now he’s paying for that decision. Companies like Champion don’t want spokespeople who have alienated their consumers. This isn’t more 9/11 conspiracy or a trampling of the First Amendment. This is simple business reality–and I hope it’s a good learning experience.

CBC 5th Estate is an investigative News show, people should watch this documentary but most people won`t because they feel more comfortable believing what they believe now and don`t want their belief in their country to change….but if you have the guts, go ahead and watch it but if you do, do it with an open mind.

BTW nineleveninsidejob, I agree with you, but most americans just listen to Faux News and do what they are told like good little sheep. Look up the Northwoods documents, PNAC and wonder why we still believe our government. Ask the indians, you can certainly trust our government.
