and to me there are ones that I do think carry real weight - the American government knowing in advance, and allowing if not planing and carrying out, 9/11
Oh FFS!
I think you are guilty of failing your own stupidity test...
I didn't say I believe it, but there are some very strange things about the whole event which are well documented and known to have actually taken place, such as the third building that fell, a few streets away from the twin towers, and was even announced by a BBC reporter to have fallen, nineteen minutes before it did actually fall (and when it fell, it took less than eight seconds to fall, much too fast for it to have just been structurally damaged by shrapnel from the plane hitting the tower, even if you overlook the other buildings not being badly damaged somehow). Or the terrorist's passport that somehow survived the plane crash into the tower, the explosion and the flames, and fell to the pavement below in a good enough state to still be legible. Or the explosions that were heard in the basement of one of the towers BEFORE the first of the two planes hit it (and this is confirmed by many people, some of whom actually fled the basement because of the explosive sounds). Or why were various contradictory answers given by Air Force intelligence when asked at various times why the hijacked planes hadn't been intercepted as is standard practise when a plane deviates significantly from it's planned course? And why, if the USA government really didn't know about 9/11 until it happened, and so they really thought that the USA was under serious attack, did they not rush the president away to safety, as would have been a standard precaution, instead of (as they did) leaving him reading to a bunch of school children? And look how quickly the wreckage of the twin towers was cleaned up, instead of being properly examined - for example, the metal from the buildings' frames was sent to be immediately melted down, instead of being examined to find out why it had so quickly failed in it's job and melted.
And so on and so on and so on.
Look into it, there are lot of things that don't make sense, and not just a few "hmmm?" things, but major problems with the given story. Even if you overlook the massive amounts of money that was moved on the stock market less than forty-eight hours before the attacks took place, the complete hack job that was done in the name of "official investigations" (including an actual refusal to look into who funded the attacks", the friendship of the Bush family and the multi-millionaire relatives of Bin Ladens (who were actually in the USA at the time of the attacks, and ha been visiting the Bushes, and who were secretly flown out of America, without even being questioned, despite the USA media being told by the government that Bin Laden was the main suspect), and so on, and it really is a mess.
I'm not saying the USA government did definitely take part in, or even know about the attacks beforehand, but there's definitely more to it than we were ever told.
And can you personally say you don't believe it's possible that, if a tiny section of the US government (say a few high ups in the CIA or the Pentagon or whatever) learned on September the 9th, 2001,that the attacks were going to take place in two days time, that they definitely would not think "Hmmm, if we let this attack go ahead, then the US people will be so angry, frightened, and alarmed that they'll support us in anything we do, if we say it's to help us hunt down the terrorists. We can use it as an excuse to go to war in the Middle East, the treasury will grant us as much cash as we say we need, and we can storm in to any oil-rich country if we say they were involved in the terrorist attacks, and the public will back us all the way".
I'm not saying that's what happened. But I will say I believe that some people would, in that situation, be happy to let 9/11 take place, if it meant they could benefit from it, either personally, or in a twisted way that appealed to their patriotic nature.
nah it shouldve been a rabbit padlock like Sid Vicious used to wear ;)
Maybe that's where Vyvian (from the Young Ones) got the idea from? I always thought it was just something the costume designers chose for him, I didn't know anyone had ever genuinely worn one around their neck.
Is there any reason why Vyvian had "Very metal" written on the back of his jacket?

The only people who could possibly solve this case are Solid Snake, and Otocon, and they're fictional characters.....Or are they?
It shouldn't exist as a news story, at least not in a newspaper, it literally isn't news, people like that don't f*cking matter...
It might well be that it's because people like that feel that they don't matter, that they feel the need to do something that shouts out "Look at me!". We live in a world were anyone can post on Facebook or Twitter or even make some youtube videos, and even if they demonstrate no talent or wisdom or anything else of any real value, they can still get half a million views and ten thousand self-proclaimed fans/followers/friends etc. So those who want even more attention probably feel that they have to go the extra mile now, hence stunts like 'marrying' yourself.
This has to be one of the strangest threads ever - is the earth flat? Ninja beans? Then in true wos style it goes wildly off topic to include Russia and 9/11 :))

someone always has to take it that little bit too far.
Surely it could be proved with a weather balloon and camera - probably cost less than £5000. And anyhoo - what happens when it turns out the world is in fact spherical... Kickstarter fails?, or he admits he's stupid? - I mean we never see these people admit they're wrong... how would they even do that... a video saying 'turns out the earth is round after all'. They'd lose the only friends they have :D
just look on youtube for "weather balloon camera", the horizon is always flat...when a normal lens is used.
Unfortunately GoPro cameras use a fisheye lens if you are even slightly interested in this subject you should read this first: http://www.uwphotographyguide.com/fisheye-lenses-underwater
The mythbusters did a high altitude flight and fisheye lenses were used
but as you can see the horizon was really flat:
Yeah "the camera never lies" except, they all do because they are not as good as the combination of a animal eye coupled to a brain where a large part of said brain is used for image processing, e.g. In a human being. Just like every lens system, the lens distorts the image. It is the image processing in the brain that carries out all manner of image correction work before your mind gets a "picture" of the outside world.
With small cheap lenses, any straight lines outside the middle of the image will be distorted. By how much depends on the lens and the distance from the lens.
You can see this for yourself by using the cameras on your smartphones...
If you want to see for yourself that the Earth is not flat, you don't need to spend large sums of money. Just go on a long journey that takes you through a say three or more time zones. Then ask yourself, now how to the flat Earth believers explain the different sunrise and sunset times? And it's not just the sun, it's the moon and the stars as well...
And if the Earth was flat, how come light and TV VHF & UHF signals (which only travel in dead straight lines) don't make it all the way across the surface of the "flat" Earth...
! Standby alert !
“There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb!
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :)

I've never heard of it before, so I googled it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Metal_Noise_Pollution) but it can't be that, as it was released in 1989, six or seven years after The Young Ones came out.

Yeah could have been some good mileage in that with a Speccy game kind of thing.
