If that makes me a 'conspiracy theorist'

You sound self-made to me.

There is an old saying, "A conspiracy explains everything."

That is, no matter what, you can conjure up a conspiracy theory to explain it. This is very tempting to the untrained and lazy mind.

Real thinkers want FACTS. Sure, facts aren't always available, but at that point the true thinker says, gee, I just don't know enough to draw a conclusion. Lazy minds take the same situation and say, see -- ya can't prove me wrong, my nutty theory must be right until proven otherwise.

WRONG, real thinkers have opinions. We dont just default to believe what the gov/media tells us...
They had 10 different explanations within 3 days of the crash (including the bird impact), yet never considered terrorism. What type of thinking is that? What FACT do they have to know it's NOT terrorism..

As a "true" thinker, you are telling me that terrorism doesn't even seem like a remote possibility as a cause of this crash??

On the contrary, I consider those who cry "tinfoil" at the slightest break with conventional groupthink to be weal of mind.

And as for facts, how about the fact that there were TWO explosions BEFORE the plane began to fall apart, and the fact that a fisherman saw the wing beak up BEFORE the tail broke free?
