i saw a documentary that shocked me, i asked a question, and now i'm being called anti-american and a conspiracy theorist. sometimes we see things that shock us and make us wonder about the world we live in and how it's run. can someone inquire without being attacked? i'm interested in learning, not heated internet debates.

When it comes to communists and dictators, nothing is too hard to believe.  It's scary, and unfortunately, most Americans will turn a deaf ear to the idea that this sort of thing is even possible.  You'll hear all about the US/Bush conspiracy of 9-11, but the prospect of foreign countries uniting against us?  They'll say it's hogwash....scary, isn't it?

When I was watching Bush last night, I had one of those rare moments of detached curiosity. I wasn’t upset, I was more curious in a sociological sense. I found myself asking why exactly I couldn’t believe in what he was saying – what is it about me or my demographic that makes me so utterly incapable of believing in his speech. I’m not talking about his honesty (or lack thereof). I’m talking about the grand abstractions of freedom, duty, country, patriotism that he invoked. Why are these ideas so uncompelling to me? They’re all good things. I probably should find them compelling. But I don’t. It’s not that I’m hostile to these abstract ideas – I just don’t find them intellectually compelling. \n\nI suspect that a good deal of my demographic (young knowledge workers/students) feel the same way. Our generation, you see, is cursed by the tyranny of irony. Or perhaps blessed. I’m not sure. But that’s what I want to talk about today. And oddly enough, I want to offer my theory about how Bush blew his chance after 9/11 to free us from irony, which Michael Stipe (REM singer) once called “the shackles of youth.”

I hate the fact that people with different opinions are labeled like cans on a store shelf, I'm not a liberal, nor a Conservative, I'm an American. I love this country and do not want to see it turned into a tird world country via the stupidity of other people. The truth is a very powerful word, and what one person sees as a truth, another person sees as a lie, it all depends on how gullible, greedy, and or miserable a person is, thus they may or may not make rational decisions. Much more can be argued regarding your question, but I don't wish to discuss it any further than this. I just hope that more people would take the time to study the whole picture before they draw conclusions.

Doesn't it seem as if people cling to their beleifs so hard, they will refuse to acknowledge anything that might question that? I mean, what if you found out that your Mom was a crackwhore for the first half of her life and you were the offspring of her pimp? (no offense to any mothers. This seems to be the case. besides, those 2000 year old beleifs, were the beleifs for 2000 years. This Da Vinci schmuk has just surfaced as a new beleif that can be considered by the mases. Or is it... global warming? I haven't read the book nor seen the movie, but I am familiar with the subject matter through schooling. When in school, or watching a movie that makes you think, it is enlightening. If we did not question things, there would be no need for Jesu, right? Why stop questioning now. I apologize, but it seems this Da Vinci controversy has surfaced the weakest of humans and found great fault in religion just by questioning it, whether true or not. The uproar confirms this. And for the twist... I agree with the author of this question, maybe not in the exact same sense. But I am God folks, not the one you all know, but my own. Think about this concept! What does God do for you? What is his purpose? Can these things be accomplished by yourself? It can be done.

I completely feel you on this...I've seen that movie myself, and a few others.  There are so many questions, I don't understand how people can just ignore it...and in fact get mad at you for questioning it!  Isn't that the point of democracy, being allowed to examine what's going on and make an educated decision?  Don't let the mean remarks that you will inevitably get bring you down...you are a thinker, and that is to be commended!\n\nEDIT: Nikki, here is the link:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7218920724339766288&q=loose+change

What are you talking about the official story you mean as reported by the media, they are only reporting what they see and told to report.   If you don't know that already then this is why you have doubts about everything. \n\nWe don't and cannot know everything, proven by further investigations days months years later.  You see people come forward and offer their own thoughts or recollections on the matter, some choose to further the thought or idea and controversy is born.  \n\nAll I know is that it was devastating not only for the US but for the world, this was the World Trade Centre, it was a blow not only to the US but to all the world and it was terrorism, and I refuse to believe any government in the free world would have any part in it and still be re-elected by its people.  If this is the case than we have already lost all that our forefathers faught for, liberty, freedom of speech, prosperity, everything is fake and we might as well be living as in the movie the Matrix.

THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT ADULTS ARE TOO BUZY TO ANSWER. SO YAHOO IS GREAT FOR THIS THOUGH SOME PEOPLE CAN ACT STUPID ON HERE. I HAVE GOTTEN VOTES FOR BEST ANSWER 3-5 TIMES. I EXPLAIN ANSWERS IN AN OBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW AND THOUGH YOU ALSO NEED TO WATCH FOR CHILD PREDATORS, YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CONCERNED. IM A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR AND HAVE COME ACROSS SOME DISTURBING QUESTIONS MYSELF FROM YOUNG VIEWERS. AND DO REMEMBER THIS THE INTERNET IS MONITORED AND EVERYONE IS WATCHED. SO MY ADVICE IS TO LIMIT WHAT YOU CAN HANDLE AND DEAL WITH AND IF IT DISTURBS YOU IGNORE IT.

K-9, I love your insight. People watch too much Fox News and CNN and refuse to do any research for themselves. Ignorance is no excuse, we all should seek truth, no matter what. My husband still proclaims what the media and government has been forcefeeding the US and the world for 4 years, and he thinks I'm insane to beleive any different. He still beleives this after he lost the use of his right leg and permanently injured his spine in combat. It's sickening how some people refuse to see the truth even when it's right in your face. They never gave any CONCRETE proof Al Qieda had anything to do with the WTC attacks. I don't buy it. I see a more sinister possibility of what likely happened...and I'm sure you do too.

I have learned that it is not the American people that the rest of the world doens't like, it's the politics and policies of the government.  Sometimes it comes across as anti-american.  I do wish that the ones who are saying these things would get to know some Americans as you have.  There are good and bad from everywhere.

I have studied up on the loose change videos quite thouroughly.  I rather enjoy watching them, and I believe that it is the tip of the iceberg to a whole slew of other questions that need to be answered.  Why would the media not look into the topics?  They probably have, but just like any other country our media is controlled by the government and they monitor every part of the media.  One huge word comes to mind.  Treason.  It would be in the governments mind, but  my friend, you know the facts, dig deeper and take a stance.  Inform others around you.  Go to wikipedia, i encourage you to start looking into government connections with the free masons, skull and bones, illuminati.\n\nI believe that you will find interesting things.  Don't take my word for anything, do some exploring, you will enjoy it, I am sure.

johnsheeran, why should anyone feel 'un-american' for asking a question and explaining why they asked that question. \n\nThe mentatlity that you and so many other's share by calling people 'un-american' really reflects the lack of intelligence in this country. \n\nAsking that question is probably the MOST American thing that can be done. Americans have the civil liberty of questioning their government. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."\n\nThe president, who may I remind you, is an employee of The People of The United States, should be questioned and expected to answer honestly why he chose to engage my country in a military conflict in Iraq.\n\nThis 'Saddam Evil Dictator/Connected to Al Qaeda' crap is so old already! We are not humanitarians so the liberation of the people of Iraq is a load of horse crap. If we were so concerned with the humanitarian issues in the world, we would be liberating many more countries. \n\nTo this day, there is still no proof that Saddam had anything to do with what happened on the 11 of September 2001. \n\nPlease, don't be a sheep to the wannabe facist regime.

i'm sorry, but...don't you think that WE are their enemy in THEIR book? And that they must think the same things about us??\n\nto the asker: i sure am not American, when it comes to people like you! i mean, can't you look at their side of the story for once? I think we have caused more dammage to them in the space of a couple of years than they have to us\n\nDo i dare say it? or is there a sliver of selfishness here?

I haven't been offended by any of the questions.  It seems like there are a lot of people asking loaded questions, trying to stir up controversy.  But if we can't handle a little of that, then our free society is in A LOT of trouble.

Gee who do you suppose paid for the documentary you saw?\n\nIf you watch nonsense created by people with an agenda you only know half the story. \n\nWould you want me to form an opinion about you by listening to what someone who hated you said.\n\nLove and blessings Don

I looked at that comment from Emily, and that's some SCARY crap! And her questions--and especially her answers DO look bogus! OOOOH--I'm almost flattered that they would waste their time like that on us "subversives"!  Hope you don't get discouraged--i.e., don't let the "terrorists" win!
