Everybody lives with sterotypes, that is yours...which really sucks, but things like this don't help you with that. I think you're accurate though, Americans in general know little about your culture..that is the the thing that is firmly etched into our brain, and come first impressions..the thing people think of first, which is sad. It does indeed have something to do with what we are fed from entertainment sources such as television and movie, and also more then likely this administration.And I don't think anybody looks up to Bush, and if they do..I feel sorry for them.

Do nothing but bitch? Are you delusional?? Somebody went and did years of research and made a movie about something to BETTER our country. To make it less corrupt. And what happens? You guys spit on it without even watching it. And for what, for why? Because the better part of our country has been brainwashed by this administration. Anytime somebody speaks up on anything now, you are anti-american, it's sickening. People just keep eating Bush's crap up.As an American you SHOULD speak up. You SHOULD care about videos such as this, and if true should be furious about it. If you don't..then you are part of the problem."The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star, 149 May 7, 1918
I watched this video a few weeks ago.The most interesting thing was the Pentagon section. That's what convinced me.

He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination.</div> Since then, Bush has put us so far in debt its not even funny to fund his war against terrorism, and now you're trying to tell me that he is the sole cause of this war?

You don't understand the difference between my own opinions and when I say "from a utilitarian point of view."And 20,000 is like 5 dollars instead of 50 cents, harder to give up, but the return is still greater. (Again, from the UT POV)It would never have to be sold to the families if no one ever found out. And while our economy is worse from when Bush took over, it's better since 9/11 (the initial drop off was inevitable). And to be fair, Bush did inherit a declining economy. Economies go through peaks and valleys and the first 2-3 years of a presidency the economy is really what the previous president had done. The economy had peaked during the 7th year of the Clinton administration and was headed downhill into the Bush era. Now Bush didn?t do much to stop the ball from rolling downhill, but that is the way it was headed anyhow.
Most of you guys are way to young to understand this, but most of the time when the economy is bad under a president it is bad becuase of the president who was in office before him. Anyone's economic plan will take awhile to come into effect. When Bush took over office the economy immeaditly crashed and yet people say this is his fault? I guess that is neither here nor there but just throwing it out there.

Using math, simulators, small scale demonstrations, each can come up with the evidence to support their claim.So basically everyone could be right. Plus, you always have to doubt government released reports. haha although NIST does really good tech based and structural research (my dad used to work for them, got to witness a simulated lab created earthquake on Take Your Child To Work Day)http://911scholars.org/WhoAreWe.htmlThose are scholars that disagree with ASCE and NIST reports with their own evidence.Really not sure which side to believe. All I know is that it happened and it shouldn't have.
People who believe this crap are the stupidest people alive. And before you say anything yes I have seen this video before.In the video they say AirFone technology didn't exist in 2001.........I was playing with that crap in planes when I was 7 and I turn 18 in August.And don't pull that "there had to be explosives in the building" bs. Notice what kind of flights they hijacked? They hijacked planes going cross country. In other words planes that had tons and tons of fuel. Hmmm I believe this is basic math. Big plan + going about 500 MPH + lots of fuel + crashing into a building = explosion.You know what else? If the government didn't mind killing thousands of innocent Americans, then why is the little dude who made the video still alive? Answer me that.

Answer me that.</div>To prove that anything can be proven true and false.And while AirFone technology existed, it's not available to all domestic flights. And depending on what class you ride, sometimes there aren't one for every seat. Also, getting a reception isn't always guaranteed cause it's kinda like a cell phone. Furthermore, the AirFone server on the plane can only process so many calls. But, AirFone service is/has been discontinued on many flights.For your second question, fuel can only reach certain temperatures. It's proven by the laws of chemistry. I'm not really particularly sure what the melting point of steel is, but it is particularly high because it is reinforced alloy metal (I think that's what it's called). Burning fuel is simply an accelerant, it cannot guarantee that the temperature of a fire will increase dramatically (that's why you pour fuel on a camp fire to get the fire started really quickly but you don't keep adding fuel to make it hotter). If it was pure gas (like air), it's possible the fire became extremely hot. If you've taken chemistry, you've probably experienced using blue fire. None of your utensils melted though, metal has an extremely high melting point. But even then, it's really hard to prove how the jet fuel burned. There are a few chemical liquids and compounds that can make fire almost invisible which is as hot as a fire as you can get. There's also many other factors such as fire protection (which was probably blown off just based on the impact) that affect how things burn.And for your last question, quite simple actually. If you kill someone that is trying to prove a conspiracy, to the minds of many, it proves that the conspiracy is true because it needed a cover-up. If the government killed the guy that made the video, many would believe they killed him to cover up any exposure. If the government doesn't kill the guy, they run the risk of people believing or people ignoring. It's much safer and coy to just avoid comments or denying it. Believe it or not, most people will believe the government and the press when they say that something is not true. Therefore, killing the video maker would prove fruitless and would actually fuel more conspiracy talk.
