Um, does anyone even have any money left to go see the Flight 93 movie?
Yeah... so let's get this straight.

my life is going good.
you steal an election.
you ignore warning, planes hit towers.
your approval rating goes through roof, for doing nothing.
you use that to make up premise for war.
you steal another election.
you rake in cash, bankrupt surpluss, rack up debt, give all to friends.
i lose my job.
i can't afford gas.
someone makes a movie about something that i'm still not sure even happened, but you think it celebrates the american spirit.
and you want me to spend 11$ to go see it.

george.
i can't afford the movie.
i can't even afford the gas to get to the movie.
and i certainly can't afford to feel worse by watching some made up bullshit that reminds me of your made up bullshit that has continued to erode my american spirit for the past 5 years.

3. I refuse to watch Propoganda!
That is what this movie is, there are incidents about flight 93 that have been unrepeatable under the same or better circumstances, IE the cell phone calls getting through. To me there is something about flight 93 that has questions to it that don't add up completely. A great example is te wreckage and the fact that it supposedly flew for a period or time inverted while the 757 is a gravity fed fuel system, while it's true an expert can barrel role them the safety systems on them made it very diffuclt to inevrt them.

Sorry, Flight 93 is full of swiss cheese for me that this movie only brings back up the questions I had when it first happened. I don't doubt the people were killed and are being used as heroes, but I doubt the official version and find the cell phone call to be questionable.

Then again, I'm still trying to figure out how a passport is blown free with burns and a little charring but two black boxes can't survive for any of the three planes that crashed.

I don't know what the truth is, but I know I am being lied to and that is the biggest insult of all.

4. Other than the cell phone calls

There's nothing else known about what happened on the flight.

The movie is a work of fiction.

5. They revealed it was flying upside down for a sustained period of time

From the trail of Zarkawi. The reporter's version of what was going on on hte flight recorder makes it sound even more suspect to me, things just don't add up.

You are completely correct though, it's a complete work of hollywood propoganda fiction.

6. It was only flying upside down for a few seconds
Not for a sustained period of time.

The Boeing 757 can't fly upside down for more than a few seconds before the weight of the fuel tanks and engines would cause the wings to fracture, which may be why the jet crashed.

7. Poetry in motion!
Thanks for sharing, Slybacon (mmmmm, bacon!!! :9).

You forgot to add something about banning gay marriage. I mean, didn't * and the sheeple consider it way more important that healthcare and security??
