Conspiracies assure us that bad things don't just happen randomly. Conspiracies tell us that someone out there is accountable, however unwittingly or secretly or incomprehensibly, so it's possible to stop these people and punish them and in due course let everyone else re-establish control over their own lives. Conspiracies also remind us that we shouldn't blame ourselves for our predicaments; it's not our fault, it's them! In these ways, believing in conspiracies serves many of the same self-protective functions as scapegoating."
By grasping at straws, and laying the blame on anything other than senseless, random violence - the very hallmark of al Qaeda's crusade - truthers are trying to make order where there is none, and in the end, the only people they want to make feel better are themselves.

9/11 conspiracy theories won't stop - CBS News
Idiot, you are the mentally challenged dupes that have to resort to the most outlandish of conspiracy theories like 19 Muslim jihadists with box cutters so you can blame them instead of taking responsibility for your nations predicament by blaming yourself for not paying attention to who and what has infiltrated your country, and just who and what your stupid blind ignorant ass is "voting" for.
Be a man and open your eyes and mind to the reality of the situation your country is really in and the people you voted into power that facilitated this mess, instead of hiding behind the most outrageous and lunatic fringe conspiracy theory ever concocted by your
lying scumbag "leaders".
AlQaeda was created by the liars who you assume are telling you the truth and care about you and your welfare, you ******* dope. They are supposed to be the enemy of the US yet your government is supporting them in Syria, and Libya right in front of your face and yet you say nothing about it.
Hilarious, you don't even see that you subscribe and hide behind, and facilitate the spreading of the biggest conspiracy theory
with the most outlandish BS that even blindly dismisses science, physics, logistics, and facts, and even when the lies and inconsistencies are shown to you, with credible people to back them up, you come here and accuse others of subscribing to "conspiracy theories" for comfort?? To relieve mental anguish??
You truly are a sad sack of lost Dawgshit boy.
As for your statement concerning polls regarding 9-11 and people believing US government complicity losing ground since 2005-
Polls Show Widespread Doubt About Official Explanations
The results of polls on peoples beliefs about 9/11 around the world might surprise you:
In its January 2011 issue, the popular German magazine Welt der Wunder published the results of a poll conducted by the Emnid institute on 1005 respondents. The poll indicated that nearly 90% percent of Germans are convinced that the government of the United States is not telling the whole truth about the September 11 attacks
A new poll conducted in England by ICM shows that more UK residents agree than disagree that the official account of what happened on 9/11 might turn out to be wrong in important respects. Only 8% strongly agree that they have been told the full story of the 9/11 attacks
A new poll conducted in France by HEC Paris shows that 58% of French people doubt the official version of 9/11, and 49% believe the U.S. government might have intentionally allowed the attacks to happen
A Zogby poll conducted in August 2007 found that 51% of Americans want Congress to probe Bush/Cheney regarding the 9/11 attacks, two-thirds (67%) of Americans say the 9/11 Commission should have investigated the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7
A poll conducted by CNN-IBN in August 2007 found that only 2 out of 5 of those polled in India the worlds second most populous country believe that al-Qaeda is responsible for the 9/11 attacks
Indeed, a poll taken by World Public Opinion, a collaborative project of research centers in various countries managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, College Park, polled 16,063 people in 17 nations outside of the United States during the summer of 2008. They found that majorities in only 9 of the 17 countries believe Al Qaeda carried out the attacks. The poll showed that in the worlds most populous country China only 32% believed that Al Qaeda carried out the attacks.
9/11 and the War on Terror: Polls Show What People Think 10 Years Later - Washington's Blog
And in a poll of NYC residents, shows that 1 in 3 New Yorkers were unaware of Building 7′s collapse and, despite the importance of the events of that day, only 25% have ever seen video footage of Building 7 collapsing at free fall. Only 14% could identify the name of the skyscraper.
So out of sight out of mind but the reality is that it did happened and people need to be made aware, perhaps then any sliding poll numbers that you point to, that are based on ignorance, would go the other way in favor of getting to the truth.
New Poll: 48% of New Yorkers Support a New 9/11 Investigation into Building 7′s Collapse | 9-11 News | World for 9/11 Truth
July 2006, Time magazine discussing a Scripts Howard poll says that 36% of people polled that's
over 1/3rd, about 108 million people...That's a lot of people...think it likely the US government in some way was complicit, or allowed it to happen.
"36% adds up to a lot of people, this is not a fringe phenomena, it is a mainstream political reality"-Time Magazine
The very same publication many of you lunatics tried to use as a debunking rag back then.
108 million people is more then 3 times the population of Canada.
And in 2006, a Zogby poll showed that half of NY'kers polled said they believed that the US leaders had impending knowledge of the attacks, and "consciously"failed to act".
...the new survey found that 77 percent say their friends and acquaintances have become angrier with government recently and 54 percent say they, themselves, have become angrier _ both record levels.

But those that are willfully ignorant of facts and of history, and even shutting their eyes and minds to what is happening today, need the comfort of creating a belief in which their government is benevolent, caring and just, and live in that false illusion for fear of confronting reality that the opposite is in fact the truth.
