Unwatchable, yet you've watched 19 episodes. LOGIC.

Lol, nice SAO review xD Short and concise. I agree that the first arc was pretty bad and as soon as it got over, I said to myself, 'Okay, good riddance. Let's see how the second arc goes.' But that turned out to be a complete letdown. It's a shame because given its interesting premise, it had the potential to be a good if not the best show.

Well.... you can keep not believing reality and I'll keep not jumping to conclusions.

> For instance, if I told you that I worked at NASA, you have no way of affirming this, as you don't have sufficient evidence to affirm it on way or another.
I could not trust your statement however because of the context in which you made it and the lack of evidence presented. If I had a repertoire with you and most of the things you said were verifiable, I might trust one or two odd claims on good faith. I may be suspicious and investigate where I am able, but there are things that can only be judged and not proven. Where you draw that line is your line of trust.
In the particular topic we were discussing, there is no reasonable context in which a government coverup would make sense. The reasons are well documented and the alternative cooked up in the minds of schizophrenics has no basis in reality whatsoever. Nobody benefits from the coverup, and there is no evidence to suggest one other than the lack of it. It's a steaming pile of bullshit carefully designed to distract you from more important issues.

Not at all. I simply think it's silly to assume all authority is bad in course of being an authority. Regardless of your lion misanology, leaders do answer to their subjects..... there are plenty of greedy lions who get trampled by grazing herds. What really is a leader if there are no subjects to govern?
I do not blindly trust authority, nor does that even sound rational. I'm merely pointing out that there is no plausible reason for the Machiavellian scheme devised in the topic back then, nor any evidence to support that line of reasoning. Pay attention but don't follow baseless conspiracy theories on the words of a few loonies with ulterior motives. Nobody would benefit from it, barring a few very wild multi-decade scenarios to justify the wars in the first place. I just don't see it.... really don't.
Do you even know what trust is? It's not always blind as a dictatorship would demand, nor should it be abandoned to give way to anarchy. Trust is a middle ground where each side challenges the other to affirm the truth. While trust is often misplaced, people can learn from their mistakes and avoid the pains of both extremes if they just decide to care a little.

Everybody answers to somebody, and that's why nobody has absolute authority. You can trace command up to the top, and the top answers to the people. Transparency of information is the only thing that can incite that accountability, but misinformation can be used as a weapon as well. Who are you really mad at and why?

On the same grounds, I can argue that cows and farmers are regularly abducted by aliens, because it cannot be disproven..... barring evidence however, the more plausible conclusion is usually the correct one.

Haha, the more the merrier. I was shocked that the mod actually locked that thread the post after mine xD.

I'm sorry Grimm3r but for my own morbid curiosity I want to explore your thoughts on the bin Laden hoax idea.
I don't see any way to rationalize it. If 9/11 was a hoax, and bin Laden's death was staged.... then the only train of thought is that bin Laden was still working for the CIA, and that he was made to lead a network of terrorists that destroy US targets and allies..... and send (very effective) attacks against his superiors.
Motive is important to investigation. If a crime occurs where nobody is to gain, then it's not something that was done intentionally. So... what are the possible motives: a public excuse for Bush to finish his Father's war in Iraq? I don't believe him even capable of such a strategy himself so let's presume his staff was being manipulated from some shadowy organization.... perhaps the CIA again or maybe the Freemasons or Illuminati or somesuch. Tell me how "knowledge" of this massive elaborate conspiracy can possibly lead to some tangible purpose? Are we going to find proof and march on Washington DC? ...or at least investigate it at all?
Events on this scale just aren't controllable by any one organization. Most government employees have interest only in their next paycheck or earnestly want to serve the country in whatever small capacity their job description entails. There are covert operations units and espionage, but they would not be ordered to undermine their own country, much less inspire and train massive armed militias for the purpose of destroying it.... I just don't see any way to rationalize it. Please explain?
