We had a thread like this not too long ago.

IMO the attacks were orchestrated by the US government. I don't say that because I like conspiracy theories, but because I'm not an American and have a bias

Fixed

Lets fix it up again eh:

IMO the attacks were orchestrated by the US government. I don't say that because I like conspiracy theories, but because I'm not an American and don't have a bias.

I asked several of my friends what they think. 

Friend 1 - PhD in Theoretical Physics. He was part of the first group who wasn't from US/China that won the MIT maths modelling competition:

''It's likely that the government was involved.''

Friend 2 - Lead Java programmer of one of our countries biggest online trading companies:

''Of-fucking-course!!!''

Friend 3 - Nuclear Physicist doing post grad in Space Physics:

''Stephen:  nah bush didnt dunnit

 he too dumb

the people who got bush elected and stuff dunnit'

 

Steve likes playing dumb, but he sure as hell isn't.

You can tell me I'm biased, but the fact is that YOU'RE the one living in the US so you are more likely to be biased. Not only that, but sooo many people outside the US share the opinion with me. My fiancee is German and the people I met through her say the same thing.

Don't try to belittle my opinion by using the 'b-word'. At least give a good argument.

As a Canadian, I’ve seen countless other non-Americans who have an irrational hatred for Americans; and this hatred becomes far worse for American conservatives. I've had countless experiences with other Canadians (in particular people on the far left) who make ignorant comments about the United States that are on-par with the youtube videos you often see posted where some moronic individual justifies their voting ...

In other words, being from outside of the United States doesn't free you from bias; and depending on where you're from and your political leanings it may ensure you're biased.

Yeah sure, but he brought up the 'biased' issue first, and I would argue that he's more succeptable to it than someone half-way accross the world. In any case, I don't think it should factor at all - point is, many educated people do not think muslim radicals were the soöe cause for the 911 attacks. The odds are just too small.

just because they are educated doesnt mean they cant be stupid and ignorant.  the answers are there for anyone actually willing to look at them, rather than go in circles with their repeatedly debunked conspiracy crap.
