Title: What would you do? (9/11 content inside yay!)
Post by: Don Flamenco on April 23, 2009, 05:39:19 PM: Disclaimer: there is nothing implied by this question, you can really just answer one way or the other and be on your way without thinking too deeply about it.

The scenario:
--You're about to graduate from college or grad school
--You have a job lined up that can go places. it's not a dream job, but it's not dead end. stable.
--you're engaged with a girl who you're currently in love with. No guarantees that you stay together, but as far as you can tell it seems fine.
--No debt
--You have stability in your life and into the upcoming years

then OH FUCK:
--You are somehow given hard proof that the Bush administration orchestrated 9/11 to attain some screwed up end! I don't have any details about how that happened, but that's not important. The fact is, you, just you, got this info and you now have the opportunity to break the story.

--Everyone will believe you because you somehow have hard proof. Shit will undoubtedly go down, but you have no idea how the world will react.

--This is the only opportunity for this info to ever get out. Ever.

So what do you do?

Do you:
--Continue on with your life, which seems like it'll be good (from your current standpoint.) There's no special incentive other than that. As I said, life just goes on normally and you have the same chances of getting divorced/cancer/raped by tauntaun as everyone else. You may have to carry the knowledge along with you, but the one opportunity to break the story will pass and once it does, you know that no one will believe you if you suddenly start claiming it later.

--Break the truth to the world, not knowing what'll happen. but hey, the truth will be out there.

If I knew I wouldn't be killed, I'd blackmail the SHIT out of Bush for millions.

that's the problem, you wouldn't know (though you'd probably get killed.) it's more about whether you'd take the chance to unleash the truth or not :)

I guess it's not fair if I don't answer: hell no. :lol I'd fear some really bad consequences that would hurt all of humanity for the next 100 years or so. and I'm not sure we'd come out the other end better for having weathered it.

Post by: Don Flamenco on April 23, 2009, 07:38:00 PM: and sure, replace 9/11 with anything-- train bombs in Spain, etc. any major bad event in history.

I mean, people are in these situations every day in more oppressive countries--where they see people abusing authority in heinous ways-- and have to decide whether they'll speak out or not. I just wanted to take the most dramatic one I could think of :)

I thought of it when I saw a Truther bumper sticker (and he had a Ron Paul sticker right above it) last week.

Post by: Akala on April 23, 2009, 07:43:15 PM: I'd give the evidence to fox news first (then The networks/CNN) just to see if fox would break the story, or unpatriotically bury it. that way there would be the possiblity of killing two birds with one stone.

if that's against the rules, I probably would do it directly anyway. pretty sure I'm crafty enough to parlay something like that into never working again.

mandate either way though. with a touch of jihad.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on April 23, 2009, 07:49:51 PM: I'd be completely stupefied that those idiot truthers were right all along. Mortified beyond belief, I'd tell the entire truther community that I've found the answers they're looking for, tease the hard proof in a way that's provocative but not revealing, and then burn it all in an obviously done arson attempt at my home and claim some mysterious strangers did it while I was out shopping for eggs or some constantly changing lame excuse.

It would be fun to fuck with those guys.

Post by: clothedmacuser on April 24, 2009, 06:53:27 AM: I would get scared and ask my friend in the FBI what to do. He would give me a time and place to meet him so I could show him the proof. He's one of the good ones. We meet near the giant squid in the Smithsonian Institution.

"Is this real?" he asks.

"Why don't you tell me?"

Pop, pop! The sound of pressurized beakers exploding in a children's science fair demonstration cover the silenced gunshots. Both my best friend and I duck into the Museum of Popular Culture. Archie Bunker's chair is shot up and Fonzie's jacket lays bullet riddled on the ground. We are running towards the giant swinging pendulum which demonstrates the rotation of the earth. It is 30 feet tall and looks like a giant Etch N Sketch. I jump the barrier and ride the weight, swinging it off course and above one of Them. I shot the guide line which let's lose the massive pointed weight into the agents chest.

"Foucault would say to 'FU Koh?'" I say.

My friend pulls out a gun and point it to me, "you loose."

Ed. I hope you were as annoyed reading that as I was writing it entirely in passive tense.

It's impossible to speculate on that kind of thing.

The widely accepted theory is that ordinary men are both capable of acts of what we call heroism or acts of what we call villany. It all depends on the situation. Thats why its so banal and hard to predict, because no one knows what the specific situation will be when he needs to make a choice.

Recommended book on the subject of normal men in abnormal situations:

it's not really about what would happen, I'm just curious you guys, as individuals, would do. If "I don't know" is the answer, that's fine.

awesome story mac :lol the pressurized beakers was a great touch. Thread is now open to more fanfic

"I confronted George Bush with my documents proving his involvement in 9/11. 'I'm...I....well...what can I do to....keep you quiet?' he slowly and seductively murmured like a purring kitten...."
