Nope, I've never thought that. What is it that they aren't telling me?

Kevin Rudd is responsible for the 9/11 attacks and that's why he's canceling the internet subscription for Australians.

I suspect that the video would only confirm what I already know...there are crackpots out there who love conspiracy theories.
Hey, I have news for you, conspiracies happen ALL THE TIME, and have done since humankind walked on the planet.

I went to school in the pre-internet era and there was always a ready supply of hardcore magazines and videos doing the rounds. Ever seen the graffiti on the walls in pompei? Whores and 'johns' going at it cowboy style? Togas all over the shop.

If hardcore porno's popping up on your school's computers, then I seriously suggest you sack your current IT staff and employ a couple who know their arses from their elbows. It is very easy to lock down computers, without surrendering our rights, as consenting adults, to watch all the hardcore porno we want, if the mood takes us.

And you're seriously suggesting that 16 year old boys objectifying 16 year old girls is something new? That this has somehow been ushered in by rampant 'liberal' excesses on the Internet? Get real. Next thing you'll be telling me that there was no abuse, no peadophilia, no violence before the Internet and video games came along. I mean seriously, what planet are you from?

I'm not a christian, I *did* vote for Rudd. Have you ever noticed though, how it's always the politicians at the forefront of draconian legislation like this, that are eventually found to be raving S&M addicts, caught short in a public park with a satsuma duct-taped across their mouth?




What's that Skippy? Timmy's stuck down a mine-shaft with Prospector Ted?



How do you know it was difficult to get hold of it in the past? You're privy to the networks the paedophiles used are you? You've investigated how the paedos of yesteryear went about circulating their pictures have you?

Aussietobe, eh - just what this country doesn't need - another goose-stepper.
Gosh, Hutch, I think you might be the goose stepper. Heaven help anyone who DARES to disgree with you.

Just what do you want to be doing in your life that you feel unable to do right now??? Or what will you be stopped doing after this new legislation comes in? I teach history, including Nazi Germany, and I don't think you have the faintest idea what fascism is.

So - just to get this straight - it's okay for you to disagree with me, but I can't differ with you? Your tone was no different - but then, now I know you're a teacher, it all becomes crystal clear.

Possibly, but then the big tits I'm not seeing in the bedroom are more than compensated for on this forum.

I apologise for my rash reply...

To appreciate the ultimate conspiracy theory I have attached the following links.

This one is from the AIA (American Institute of Architects)

http://www.ae911truth.org/flashmov12.htm

Simple one:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...62504721899003

Complicated one But with all the facts... sorry I mean theory’s:
http://video.google.com.au/videoplay...inal+cut&hl=en

the above link if it works is the most downloaded film on the Internet today (millions have watch it). It's been translated in to multiple languages.

Finally:
http://video.google.com.au/videoplay...&q=money&hl=en

pull up an few beers & a chair, even if you don't agree, they make great viewing.

So what am I saying?

WAKEUP!

you’re going to hear that word a lot next year...

in all fairness, it's not that these are theorys, it's that you will never see these storys in the main stream media, because the media in controled and the Internet is not. Yet!

I must admit that I'm usually skeptical of conspiracy theories but also skeptical of government theories as well.

So with the Moon Landing conspiracy I could see that it was a load of bollox. I've seen how much light can be reflected off my hand so I wouldn't be surprised if there was enough light reflecting off a bright white shiny suit to light up the dark side of a lunar lander. Now I know it's still possible that it was a hoax but the evidence for a hoax is weak.

However, when I saw the link posted by TheSubMainMan a while back, about 9/11, I find the evidence hard (if not impossible) to refute. I hadn't thought about it before but those towers did collapse really neatly and it's hard to believe a large plane caused the damage at the Pentagon.

Thanks for posting the links. The Kevin Rudd thing was just a joke

Bumped into a guy in Thailand when we checked into our backpackers .. he was a bit of a traveller/hippy (alas without hair) and the first thing he said to me was (in my own words) "hi, how are you.. Im from a little country called America whos government blew up its own people and pretended it was a terrorist attack...." he then went on to tell me all about how the Firemen were all sceptical and there were so many traces of bomb powder (?!) and how many Americans think it was their own government manufactoring the attack. He said to me that he knew people who had uncovered evidence etc etc..

I hasten to add that I spent the entire time trying to backoff and get away from him.. thought he had been taking too many illegal substances.. thought he was a raving looney actually!

Then... watched the video and was shocked to find that he wasnt alone on his theories..

Scared me, to tell the truth

Em x

I'm not comfortable with it either. I think I would prefer to know that the US government (or some part of it) actually did it rather than not knowing whether they did it or not.

I remember years ago being in the pub with a couple of mates when (as part of the conversation) one of them mentioned about the iron railings (outside people's houses) being cut down to supply metal for the war effort. I said that it was all a propaganda stunt and the metal was dumped in the North Sea as it would have just been pig-iron and not good enough for munitions. He went into shock. He couldn't believe the government of the UK would have misled people.

Not sure it's related but he's now living happily in NZ.

well, I didn't end up watching the two long clips. One was over 2 hrs long....that must be one complicated theory.

These conspiracy theories are all complete garbage and misinformation! Just like your statement that "you will never see these storys in the main stream media, because the media in controled". These stories have been in print in all sorts of media already, not just the "uncontrollable" internet.

You really aren't winning any points for the anti-censorship cause with this line of argument, it's just silly.

Not quite sure what a strange man rambling about Fluoride has to do with Internet access but I for one am very pleased that QLD are finally catching up with many many other places (including Britain) in adding the stuff to our water.

Well as long as they don't start putting the stuff in toothpaste, I don't mind.

Of course, communist Russia stockpiled many millions of tonnes of fluoride throughout the cold war. Dr. Grigory Lubacek headed up a clandestine operation known as "Enamel-66". Recently declassified archives show that Enamel-66 received more funding than the entire Russian Defence Force between 1974 and 1977.

This secret group was tasked with bringing about financial ruin to members of the American Dental association. The subsequent "domino effect" would most likely have brought the US economy to its knees, paving the way for a Russian invasion through Alaska. Fortunately, Dr. Lubacek defected to the states in the early 80's and revealed all.

But you won't find anything in the mainstream media about it.... thank god for the internet where we can find out the truth !!

It's hard to find toothpaste here without fluoride.

We had a jolly little discussion about fluoride some time back, didn't we? I thought I was the only raving lunatic that considers it should be a choice.
