What, argue with someone who lists one of his conspiracy theories as the USA being behind 9/11...?

Got better things to do chap.

Well if it's such an outlandish idea and all the evidence is against it, then it should be easy to disprove. In that case attack the argument don't attack the reputation of the person.

it's almost impossible to argue against any theory ever, no matter how ridiculous if the other person does not do logic and reason.

Is this nonsense still dragging on.

The chance of war with NK is zero. This is all political theatre.

NK is basically part of China and is thus uninvadable.

[Driller]

Well yes but logic and reason goes both ways doesn't it?

I do sometimes wonder if most of the population just accepts what they are told as the truth because "it's the authorities innit".

I disagree with your views on teeth but what you said above is spot on.

umm, officially US(together with SK) is still in war with NK, it's just the quite long armistice that won't last much longer if things continue like this

SK is yes, but not the USA as it was a UN operation to defend SK.....USA/UK/Aus/NZ/Canada/Turkey/Greece/Thailand/South Africa/France/Belguim and a few other I can't be bothered to go and look up were all involved as part of the war, none of which 'declared war' on NK.

Nobody's that stupid. But to suggest the Yanks arranged to have airliners flown into World Trade 1, World Trade 2, The Pentagon, and Washington DC (crashed before designated target after passengers fought the Al Qaeda hijackers), just so they could pick a fight somewhere is fking ridiculous.

Purely based on the fact that generally they can't organise a piss up in brewery most of the time, let alone what it would take to organise such a thing - something all the conspiracy theorists fail to grasp.

And invent ways of bringing buildings down that means you can do all the prep work without disturbing a single worker or any of the building fabric. Half the arguments they make actually disprove their own theories.

And because there is only an armistice, the UN is still there.

Like he threatened a couple of tubes in Guam's parish. Not going to happen.

It'd be highly risky trying to fly one out there on the end of a missile, and if he tried to stick one on a boat - I'm sure the US navy might take the opportunity for a bit of target practice.

[superkartracer]

I think the bigger Nuke test and firing stuff over Japan was far worse ( the range of the last test being more than enough to slap the yank base ) .

As a father, I watch the news and can't help but worry. Because of a few power hungry idiots who somehow came to power, my daughter may not live to see a peaceful world. It may not be perfect as it is but at least she might have a chance of being happy right now. The second of these idiots press the button to fire the first nuke, all the future will be gone. The worst part is they are both mentally capable of doing so...

It wouldn't be great but st happens.

As long as PH stays online long enough for a bit of frothing, I think we'll be okay.
