You still don't get it, Arjay.
>>Pericles go to the http://ae911truth.org/ and pick 6 salient points of contention and debunk them.Nothing could be more simple.<< Who is making the bet here? I thought it was you/John Bursill. But now you want it to be me. Let me try again to get through to you. Explain to me exactly how I will be able to tell whether or not I have won. Just waving your arms around saying "debunk this" doesn't wash. Be specific. If you can't do that, then you are simply windbagging. Posted by Pericles, Thursday, 27 May 2010 5:53:46 PM

One feature of conspiracy theories is that they add handy ‘villains’. Pakistan adds India to the US and Israel.
Conspiracy theories are more likely to express fear and hate than reality. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/world/asia/26pstan.html ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Americans may think that the failed Times Square bomb was planted by a man named Faisal Shahzad. But the view in the Supreme Court Bar Association here in Pakistan’s capital is that the culprit was an American “think tank.” <SKIP> “You must know, you are from America,” he said smiling. “My advice for the American nation is, get free of these think tanks.” Conspiracy theory is a national sport in Pakistan, where the main players — the United States, India and Israel — change positions depending on the ebb and flow of history. Since 2001, the United States has taken center stage, looming so large in Pakistan’s collective imagination that it sometimes seems to be responsible for everything that goes wrong here. “When the water stops running from the tap, people blame America,” said Shaista Sirajuddin, an English professor in Lahore. <SKIP> Go to the URL for the entire article.

>>Pericles,Define the points or parameters you wish to debunk.We are not going to get caught up in a game of semantics<<
Who is making the bet here? I thought it was you/John Bursill. But now you want it to be me.
Let me try again to get through to you.
Explain to me exactly how I will be able to tell whether or not I have won.
