Unintentionally Ironic Loose Change Forum Post of the Day
I found this post amusing:
Hi! At my high school, I am doing a research paper in my English class about the 9/11 conspiracy theory, and mainly about the Flight 93 conspiracy theory.
I have watched "Loose Change: 2nd Edition" twice now, and found it very interesting, hence my topic choice. I have just one problem. My teacher requires credible sources (i.e. magazines, newspapers, books, etc.), and will not accept anything found from a Google or Yahoo search.
This makes it hard, because much of the 9/11 conspiracy theory is based on the internet and it is very oppinionated and doesn't look credible. So, I was wondering if anyone had any links to credible sources like magazine or newspaper articles or any book titles that could help me out.
I can see how that would be a problem. I especially find it ridiculous that this high school English teacher has higher standards than the "Scholars" for 9/11 "Truth". My hat is off to him or her.

If I had to seriously answer this young skull-fulla-mush, I'd do it thusly:
Here's a starter - read the yellow-dog Popular Mechanics book that Jason Bermas tried to demagogue "Democracy Now" viewers from reading out of pure fear of it. If his story is so bulletproof, then why is he so afraid of it?
From there, search this blog for links to numerous mainstream media publications, both left and right, concerning the utter lack of internal and external consistency and credibility of members of the "truth" movement.
Problem is, once you read the book and read some background info on both 9-11 and the LooseChange frauds, Loose Change (versions 1-654) begins to magically transforms into a gigantic steaming pile of horse excrement before your very eyes and ears, as opposed to becoming a coherent and well-researched argument; a kind of Internet porn for the very lonely, the bitter-at-life crowd and belligerently uninformed.
In other words, perfect for the average young Democrat voter.
And gigantic steaming piles of horse excrement don't make for very good English paper topics, I'm afraid.
So read up, young chap. Ask questions of LC and its disciples, because they're going to demand and threaten you to do so about anything you may happen to say to them about anything.
Obviously, the english teacher is a paid gubmint shill.
Requiring legitimate sources...
... How fascist.

Aw, come on!
Why be so rough on steaming piles of horse excrement? What did it do to be compared to "Loose Change"?
Of all the insults!
Sorry - that was outta line.
I apologize to all decent piles of horse dung everywhere.

You must have missed out on the times I've bitchslapped Joan Basil, pseudo-progressive extraordinaire. How many times do I have to point out that average Democrats like myself don't buy into 9-11 denial?
Don't insult people who are on the side of rationality just because they hold political views different from yours.
young minds...most very very impressionable with very small attention spans, hence the effect of LC on the under 25 group (for the most part).

"Don't insult people who are on the side of rationality just because they hold political views different from yours."
Key word - "average."
Relax. You're above average.
His teacher tells him he can't do an Internet search, so he does an Internet search to ask how he can avoid doing an Internet search.
Kids these days.
you also have a video of yourself comparing a box to your penis!!
I'm 21, and have several such videos.
Well, if you're talking about the slang meaning of "box", I could see how that'd work....
I apologize to all decent piles of horse dung everywhere.
As well you should. Horse dung can fertilze plants.
What the hell can Loose Change do besides activate my gag reflex?
