Marie Claire
| Quote: | When my boyfriend suddenly decided that the U.S. government had planned 9/11 to justify a war in the Mideast, I was alarmed, but not enough to ditch him outright. After all, I told myself, his penchant for questioning everything in his path was one of the things I loved about him. Surely he'd regain his senses soon.
So I refrained from rolling my eyeballs when he'd say things like, "I'm not sure the Pentagon was even hit by a plane — those photos could've been doctored!" And I kept my mouth shut when he'd futz around on the Internet all night, studying Bush's family ties to the Saudis and the melting temperature of steel. I even started attending weekly "truth meetings" in a dusty church basement, pretending to be very interested as he'd mutter, "Yes! Exactly!" to people's rambling diatribes.
Yes, I know it was nuts.
But it wasn't the first time I'd feigned interest in a subject in order to please a guy. Ever since high school — when I studied up on third-level Urdunnir dwarfs so I could converse with my Dungeons & Dragons — obsessed boyfriend — I've adopted a variety of interests that were not my own. I've taken Krav Maga classes; I've thrown batches of toast at the screen during repeated viewings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've gone to Death Cab for Cutie concerts; I've hosted marathons of movies made by obscure Danish directors. I once seriously considered spending a week in the desert, unshowered, for Burning Man, with the arty, pot-smoking dude I was dating at the time.

That's what Andrew Marr said about the French actress who spoke up about 9/11 after winning an oscar......"she's nuts".
That's all these people have got....name calling......
.......oh, and control of the media. |

Hilarious.
What else would one expect from a partner who pays to read and then sends letters into Marie Claire ?
If indeed she exists and did that is . . .
Dear Marie Claire
My boyfriend keeps on suggesting that we get into a threesome.
It's not the threesome that bothers me so much, but he insists that the other girl should be a 911 Truther !
Is this normal ?
Do we have to wear tin foil hats ?
Should I agree ?
I know it could be explosive.
I'm just so confused.
Please advise . . . .
