There will always be conspiracy theories as long as there are conspiracies. If you have absolutely no questions or a few doubts about the offical account being 100% accurate, then you're one of the Ostrich People.
And aiming criticism at a few carefully chosen conspiracy theorists with outrageous claims does not weaken the argument of those who have carefully gathered evidence and offered up perplexing questions and scenarios that make people uncomfortable.
Do we - the laypeople - know every detail? No. Nor should we.
We do know the important parts, though. We know that a bunch of middle eastern men hijacked four planes and flew three of them into buildings. We know that two of the buildings collapsed as a result. We know who the major players were in planning the attack, and we know what's happened to them.
There are legitimate questions that could/should be answered as to what we might have known beforehand, and could it have been stopped, etc., but when someone starts talking "controlled demolition," "thermite," and the latest - "there were no planes," they are rightly classified as nuts, and one should only consider anything they have to say as being for entertainment purposes only.
BTW, still waiting for you to cite the original source of your evidence that supports the thermite claim. Youtube videos need not be cited
You're not the only one. On more than one occasion on this thread I have asked for further information to support the claims he makes, but each time have been met by a repeat of a previous post, a change of subject, and/or a pathetic "your momma" response. Normally closed with a pointless quote.

You are corrrect. It is human nature to doubt.
Personally, there are a lot of questions which could be asked about 9/11 and surrounding events.
However, there's a huge difference between having doubts and nistrust, and having crazy paranoid theories which fly in the face of all conventional wisdom, and then to continue blindly to support these theories even when they have been disproved and discredited.
Then cite it. "It's out there," right? Should be easy for you to identify the origin of the claim. You're the one espousing it, so the onus is on you to provide those you're engaging with the evidence. Youtube videos of TV interviews are not evidence - they're interviews. Cite the original source.

Personal attacks.... Getting desperate, I see.
By the way, why no quotes at the end of every post anymore?

Like I said... Google "thermite" or "thermate" and WTC...
Oh Yeah...
