There is a site called 9/11 debunked, basically it takes all the conspiracy theories and proves them wrong
The controlled demo shit is more than laughable, they had a demolition expert on the radio once and he said to blow that building up
it would take over 2 years to tear it apart and plant explosives in the right place
the problem you run into BoyBlue is that people who 'love' conspiracy theories (for reasons that are often as much in their psychological make-up as their lack of common sense) is that they are easily convinced that these ideas hold water because they are lacking in brain power.
I think we have had lengthy discussions in other threads on all this sort of stuff from 9/11 to the Moon landings, and just about everything else in between. Whilst I'm prepared to believe there was something very much going on in both the Kennedy assassinations - and MLK for that matter, the whole issue of 9/11 (other than it being a total gov't fuck-up) and it forming some sort of conspiracy is absolutely - as you say above - 'laughable'; although the actual event itself (not the 'theories' behind the events on that day) is anything but a joke.
just as one quick example, let's take this passport business at 9/11... if a passport was actually found in the wreckage what does this really mean? Maybe just that the inertia of the impact blew debris (organic and inorganic) far and wide, and that amongst that which survived was one passport - of someone who was involved and on board the aircraft. So that document wasn't totally destroyed/burnt up. Does this mean there was a gov't conspiracy? Does this mean anything (as some would mistakenly think - like in much of the moon landing stuff) in light of everything else that we do actually know and understand? I say this in that no one is an expert in what can happen (statistically and in all probability) to a passport that's inside an airplane inside someone's jacket, or other effects, that rams into a building when it's being flown at 500 mph and loaded with jet fuel. Some people will mistakenly seize upon such 'evidence' and mistakenly build it into something else, when in fact there are much more likely explanations as to what happened, like a group of terrorists hijacking a group of aircraft (after much planning beforehand, and leaving plenty of real clues as to what was going on - which are well documented, which is why the Intel Communities got into trouble for their slack and failed responses afterwards) and the buildings fell down. We've been over this and a lot more so many other times in other threads, but some people don't have the capacity to realise or get a grip on things.
I referenced the Dunning-Kruger effect on page 2 of this thread, as it's probably quite a bit at play here.
lastly, if you ever try to have a rational discussion or even venture into an argument with an idiot you'll find it's futile, because they drag the 'conversation' down to their level and beat you with experience.

(they might also also resort to getting personal, rather than addressing the actual issues at hand, along with feeling persecuted and muddying the waters with other such perceived personal 'injustices' and attacks on themselves; in such extreme cases you are better trying to leave them alone - although they often feel like they've got a lot to say, as no matter how ridiculous their rantings their own mental state and well-being is important to us all... even if they choose to mount personal abusive rants along with their rantings on everything else, including how crazy and blinded just about everyone else is apart from themselves)
