To you in For fun-20
Whoever you are that wants a pause - how are we supposed to talk to each other to unpause later in an anonymous gunboat? That's why I'm not voting pause and I'm sorry if I'm a dick.

Bolshoi, nobody claimed the fires in building 7 were 1500F.

MM, Draug answered you with actual points and all he's gotten are ad hominem attacks and links. Just respond to his points. It's simple as that.

A typical house fire burns at 500-600 farenheit. Industrial grade office materials (the furniture and others) burnes signficantly hotter such that a typical office building fire reaches 700+ degrees, enough to weaken the steel and cause an eventual collapse.

I am sorry. I agree w/ MichiganMan, in that people that run contrary to the popular belief are generally vehemently opposed.

I also concur that it is worth checking out one of the many documentaries that have been done detailing the questions that are posed by the official story. Loose Change is probably one of the better known. I would recommend Zeitgeist, as it gives some interesting information about Religion, 9/11, and the Federal Reserve.

There is nothing harmful in looking at other information. You can always decide that you don't agree afterwards.

Granted, the last time I mentioned the movie Zeitgeist on a BBS like this, someone immediately compared me to Aluminum Foil Hat wearing types.

Why do conspiracy theorists always assume that you haven't looked into their conspiracy? I'm sorry, it's not so uber-convincing that to look at it is to believe it.

have you people seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuC_4mGTs98

if it were possible, why was nist unable to create a legit model with it happening? they tried time and time again, weren't able to reproduce. so said "yes we have a model of it happening, but how we made that model is classified. just trust it, though, it's legit"

i don't understand! all the people on my side are not helping things at all! do not watch zeitgeist or loose change. both have garbage in them. both are used to discredit legit questions. besides my video is shorter. it's only a minute long or something like that.
bolshoi (0 DX)
08 Mar 12 UTC
but zeitgeist is the most bs of them all. probably funded by one intelligence agency or another. it throws out a bunch of garbage about 9/11 then says the solution is maoism. basically. so whoever made that video can suck it.

everything stated in the video is cited in the description. it's all proven... so i don't know what is crazy about it. i didn't make the video, but i like it. ok it's 5 minutes. i should have looked at the length, but i decided to put that "one minute" after i already closed the tab, and was too lazy to open it again to see the length.

@bolshoi, it loses all its credibility right in the first minute or two, where it mocks the idea of a sophisticated technological state being taken down by a few poorly funded terrorists with moderate training. Technology and power do not equal invincibility, or the ability to foresee every attack. The suggestion that they do is so fallacious and absurd that we already come to the second minute of the video trusting nothing about the narrator's perspective. And then it just goes downhill from there.
bolshoi (0 DX)
09 Mar 12 UTC
all the video does is show that the official story is wrong. it doesn't make claims as to what really happened. the mujahadeen, or alqaeda never had the capacity to pull off the attack, i'm sorry to say. if it were so easy to pull off, don't you think other intellingence agencies would do it all the time. hell if it were that easy to do, maybe it would be easy to frame some bogus terrorist group for the attacks as well... maybe.... oh wait a minute...

I am a patriot, I love our Republic and what it stands for. The Republic has been stolen, usurped, hijacked. Jesus Christ?!? Jesus Christ?!? Yeah right, freakin' coward!

Right -- I'm saying that it doesn't. AT ALL.
Invictus (240 D)

Pointless to keep arguing, semck83. These people are too invested in the idea of a conspiracy for anything to change their minds. It doesn't matter what evidence or convincing arguments they hear, in their minds they are privy to some secret knowledge. They feel smart about having figured out the lies which are allegedly being told to us all. This feeling of being smarter than all the "sheeple" is too important to their identity to ever give up.

And that's why MichiganMilitiaMan believes there were no planes used during the 9/11 attacks and bolshoi thinks the Mossad did it. In their minds that's what the truth is, and no amount of evidence will change how they feel. It's sad, really.
NikeFlash (140 D)

Thank you Invictus for putting into words what I have failed to be able to verbalize.
bolshoi (0 DX)
09 Mar 12 UTC
first of all i never said mossad did it. i just think it seems likely they had a hand in it. but who is really too invested in their idea of what happened? i keep saying i don't know what happened so we can't say for sure what happened. you people are the ones constantly saying the official story has been proven, it's clearly what happened, and to think otherwise is truthery.

Just got back from NYC where I watched Book of Mormon. If you're a fan of South Park, I cannot recommend you watch this highly enough.

There were a few people there who clearly had no idea what was happening and were horrified; it made it all the better.

Game Glitch

I believe there was a glitch in this game. As you can see, in spring 1904, the fleet in rumania attacked the fleet in the black sea which was convoying an army into sev. this attack should have prevented the convoy even though it had support from Armenia.
