The problem Oggy, is that u want to take bits of a story, whether it be bad decision making, misinformation, or a loose relationship with a suspect and paint the whole story with it.

Such as with Fast and Furious and Gulf of Tonkin.

Again this is not to say the US Gov't is on the level on a case by case basis, but I also don't think the US Gov't is corrupted to the core.

I think you are insane if you think 911 was an inside job or could have been definitively avoided.

it's mutual

Why would you live in this country if you really believed that?

because my family, friends, loved ones are here, my life is here. That doesn't keep me from seeing whats going on though. I used to be like you, completely apathetic to politics, economics, all of it. I didn't care. Then I realized that is the worst way to live.

lol you have no idea what he thinks and knows..

Anyone have a problem with splitting the non boston marathon attack tangent stuff? The conspiracy theory stuff would be better for pol/religion

If some people think the US Gov't has ties to the Boston bombings then the conspiracy stuff is related to this thread.

Especially if they think the media, ie the place where we get all our info, is in on the conspiracy.

It's beyond annoying the shit people say after events like this. How quickly the conspiracy theories come out and everyone has some off the wall shit to throw out there.

Preach homie, preach!

Oggy always ties in facts from history, conspiracy theories, etc when trying to make our government look bad. He took the North Korea topic from a few weeks ago and made his argument based off of stuff that has happened in the middle east. I think my buddy here at work and oggy could talk and agree on everything for days.

I did hear a guy say the other day "I hope it's the North Koreans so we can bomb the shit out of them"

So now they are reporting that there hasn't been an arrest made ..

i was gonna say, I dunno how they found the person by just enhancing footage from a nearby store .. they would have had to know who he was

IMO if North Korea did it they would beat their chest and scream it to the World.

I saw on CNN there are "conflicting reports" on it.

No arrest has been made, per msnbc/Boston Authorities.

Someone made a mistake probably, got excited and jumped the gun, my first reaction to the conflicting reports. Though, I am sure there are some who have a different initial reaction to this.

I dunno about that, a country pushing their military might by launching Nuke's prob isn't going to use a pressure cooker bomb, nor take credit for it.

But I would think a middle east terrorist would want to claim it. Thus I have been doubting that possibility.

Just more rushed information I guess. Figures.

Just seems like they would take pride in being able to touch Americans on American soil. No matter how they had to do it. I could be wrong obviously.

If it was North Korea or a middle eastern terrorist group they would've claimed it by now I would think. My money is on crazy nutjob American age 25-35. 2nd guess is a crazy hippie environmentalist group. 3rd guess Mexican drug cartel.

Any relation to the kid at the Masters? Are you implying that was retaliation for that 1 stroke penalty?
That joke was in bad taste...I apologize.

Just read about a Federal Courthouse in Boston being cleared out.
