Yeah, filth, I read the link. It was about tempering steel at low temperatures. Big fcuking deal. What does that have to do with the NIST/UL test that showed the floors did not fail even under twice the load and being heated for twice as long as the South Tower lasted?



I rather doubt that you did much more than scan it, if that. If you had, you would have seen how the chemistry acts.

I ask again: where did you come up with the 2,000 degree F heat-soak that you claimed the columns were designed to withstand? Uninsulated.

As for finding evidence that the towers were brought down by a controlled demolition, that's your job and no one else's. You are making the claim. Sort'a anyway, and that amounts to the same thing.

Lemmee ask you another question: as it has been shown, ad nauseum, by others as well as myself, that demolition charges could not have been set in the normal manner, how might they have been set otherwise?

Well, it wouldn't be the first time you disregarded facts...

And why did you avoid answering my question, filth? Do you really expect me to answer your questions when you avoid answering mine?

So, do each of you need your own response to each of these issues? See above for the answer--I've answered it a number of times on a number of threads.

I would object to what is usually wisdom by the South Park boys, but only to the extent of pointing out that Osama thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy. And I don't think he's a retard. Just a fundy nutcase who by chance happens to be very informed about 9/11.

It has to do with how ferrous metals react to heat and has nothing to do with the reports. Don't try to red-herring your way out of telling us where you got the 2,000 degree F figure. Gimmie a link where I can see it for myself, otherwise, I'm calling bullshit on it.

And if the alledged charges were not set in the normal manner, how might they have been set?

Thus far, you have answered precious, damned little. Speculation is all well and good, but it ain't answers.

Like I said--I knew you wouldn't get it. Try this--I have a feeling it is true but I, as of yet, have no evidence it is true, therefore I don't know it to be true.

As I said, "A very small difference in an unimportant detail." You appear to be back peddling.

Indeed. But failure to find evidence does not negate a Truth, it merely leaves it undiscovered.

You agree with me and still claim an unevidenced Truth? Did you type that with a straight face?

Well of course the fact that the official story is impossible isn't proof that the CD Theory is true. But proving the official story is impossible opens the door to examine theories of the collapses of the 3 wtc buildings.

Well of course the official story is impossible.


So you don't believe the official story is true? What do you believe caused the towers to collapse?

No, that was sarcasm, which I thought was clear from the yawn.

Having read most of what you have written here the only thing this would do is to provide you with another diversion from your promised research for CD evidence. I honestly believe that you would like to put your shovel down, but your ergo will not allow you to back down from the occupants of an asylum.

I'm not claiming an unevidenced truth. I'm pointing out that a Truth with no evidence is still a Truth. I'm speaking in general terms here--not about anything specific.

So you got nothing.
I have a feeling you are writing this from an insane asylum but as yet I have no evidence (besides your delusions).

Boy that's deep!
How about this - a Falsehood with no evidence is still a Falsehood.

.... And bovine foeces is still bullshit.

Given the known evidence, I don't think that a coordinated, controlled demolition could have be done. Thus far, nothing has been demonstrated as to change my mind.

And actually, I'd love it if it could be shown that there was a government conspiracy. Just love it! We could hang that lying, ignorant, fascist Bush and his foul cronies higher'n Hubble. So, I'm a little disappointed in that....

But not so disappointed that I'll attempt to produce evidence that just isn't there. Unsupported speculation will only take you so far...

I'm just going to let your previous reply pass. I have no desire to return to the debating skills once employed as a ten year old.

ego how soon can we expect a write up on your research for CD evidence?

Ergo, you really must try and improve your cognitive reading skills. I wrote:

Who else amongst our hackneyed 'leaders' can you think of that would be capable of it?

And if some foreign entity did it and the reports intentionally obfuscated the facts, would that not show collusion with our government? If you think it through, it's all pretty complicated, isn't it? Never forget, the more complicated a plan is, the less likely it is to succeed largely because there would have to be so many people, of varying competence, involved. And 'competence' is a foreign concept to our current government. One hopes that will change very soon, very soon.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?
