I would tend to agree with the majority opinion on this case. Of course, I also grew up in police officer's house and have been around handguns, been exposed to relentless hours of gun safety lectures, etc, etc. So my opinion is probably biased....  [Read More]

I think it would be safe to credit the 9/11 Commission Report over every other source...I disagree. If the collapse of the three WTC complex structures (one of which wasn't even included in the Commission Report) was the work of the U.S. government,...  [Read More]

The 'no floors between them' part is played by the weakened structure (damaged stories) between the intact floors. And what percentage of those floors actually sustained damage? As other video evidence shows at least parts of the plane managed to wo...  [Read More]

The egg analogy points out the physical principle behind that process. No it doesn't. Eggs are fragile objects. Steel beams welded and bolted to one another, supporing concrete flooring are not. Please try again. Perhaps you'd like to try the analog...  [Read More]

Thank you for helping to make my point. The illustration is much clearer with the lines that you've added. Now compare this with your previous sketches which suggest that the upper floors are being crushed at the same time as the lower floors, or yo...  [Read More]

Huh??IIRC, Ray is German, therefore I tend to assume that English is not his primary language. I'm not entirely sure what he hoped to convey there either, but hopefully that helps to explain why we're both confused by his post. EDIT: Also, now that...  [Read More]

@Achilles--and this is not meant to be snarky in the least, I'm asking seriously--if you have no intention of defending the explosives conspiracy, then why do you keep bringing it up?I guess we'd have to clarify what you mean by "keep bringing i...  [Read More]

You haven't either. Even less, all you have done is proposing some idea, without delivering at least some kind of document that supports your claim that only explosives can bring a building down at free fall speed.I need to provide evidence for skept...  [Read More]

Here's the bottom line--there's a ton of solid evidence supporting the theory that the WTC collapsed without explosives. No there isn't and that's the point. None of the sources that you or Ray have put up as evidence can answer this very simple que...  [Read More]
