bush a man who has fucked up at everything he has ever tried, has somehow pulled of a vast conspiracy and created 9/11 without a hitch?

Alright boys and girls. I'm starting to write up my first post. Thanks for your patience, but I had a stroke of divine inspiration last night and figured out my opening post so I'm glad I waited...well, actually I just thought about it when I was trying to go to sleep and hashed it out. I should have it up by end of day today. I think it'll be pretty good. It's primarily my own ideas and arguments, nothing I've seen on other sites, so I'd love to hear what everyone thinks.

Nicely done, Bark! Nicely done, indeed!

Shit. Debate over. That was pretty good, man. I think there were a few informal fallacies and some "filler", but the meat of your points was rock-solid.
Well done, and nice approach.

well, if the main point of the debate was the plane/thing that hit the pentagon, the only thing Lumpy can throw out there is "I will also offer a working speculative hypothesis that more closely fits the physical evidence that exists, pooling together eyewitness testimony, evidence (or lack thereof) at the crash site, and expand on what we can and cannot deduce from this speculation. "

so... Bark's photos of jet engine parts VS. lumpy's "lack of stuff" as proof of a conspiracy.

hmm...

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Mr. C, do you have any specific examples of fallacies in there? I'm sure you're probably right, it's hard to keep track of all the informal ones. Damnit, I knew I should've just gone ahead and brought up Hitler. Razz

I tried to make sure all the declarative statements I made were supported by the evidence and basic common sense, wordy though it may have been. Next time I'm going with the single plane theory.

Oh and...
