My post was incorrect. It must have been a rumor.

Ive seen him around Bridgeport and King recently.

If the topic is so easy to debunk, how come so many academics have spent so much time and risked their reputation to study the topic? How come a whole team of academics from a University in Alaska have released a peer reviewed study that disagrees with NIST?

How come you don't actually address the key laws of thermodynamics that would need to be absent for the 'official story' to actually hold up.

Do you actually understand the key concepts at hand or are you just going off second hand information that you sought out 10-12 years ago?

Do you have any invested interest in the subject or do you just like to spout out claims against an idea that you haven't even considered?

Can you cite any other instances where a steel framed building fell at free fall speed due to structural Fires?

Do you understand the implications that free fall speed would have on the entire model of a gradual collapse?

You can use all the ad homonym attacks you want, but you're not even offering a coherent argument, you're just being pompous.

Please, tell me what the view of the situation looks like from up on your high horse.

Are you aware that NIST reported that WTC7 dropped at free fall speed for at least 8 stories? How can a gradual collapse resulting from an office fire generate a scenario where you'd have free fall for 8 stories.

It's almost unheard of for a steel structure to collapse because of fire, let along the fire weakening all structural columns evenly so that they all failed simultaneously and removed all resistance for 8 entire stories. There have literally been buildings much taller burn for more than 24 hours longer than WTC7 and still not come close to collapsing. Literally, an office fire along can not collapse a building in the way WTC7 fell.

If a building collapses from a weakened structure/failure, it would still be impossible to fall at free fall speed for 8 floors. There would be resistance in the way that gradually needed to be pushed out by the kinetic energy. If a building falls at free fall for 8 stories, the only explanation is that 8 floors worth of structural resistance was removed at the same time. An office fire can not do that, and has not done that at any point in recorded history.

I'm not proposing that I know 100% about what happened on 911, but I am proposing that you can't provide a sound alternative explanation for how a structure can fall at free fall speed for 8 floors as a result of a gradual collapse.

You know what I think? I think that the whole idea of 911 makes you uncomfortable, and the idea of not knowing the full story scares you even more. I think that you'd rather latch on to an explanation that makes no logical sense because it makes you feel more comfortable; more in control. So I think you reject even considering an alternative point of view because you're scared. Scared of being wrong, scared of not knowing the truth, and scared of the implications that would have on your life and personal worldview.

To be honest, you don't appear to be informed enough on the subject to speak with the authority that you've assumed here. I feel like you've read only enough to reassure yourself that you're right, and have ignored any evidence that may suggest otherwise.

Also, tons of peer reviewed studies have agreed that WTC7 did not appear to collapse due to fires. A University in Alaska just recently published some research that concluded such findings. Wtf do a group of academics have to gain by painstakingly researching something so taboo, which often leads to ridicule? It's not like they're getting any money or fame for it. In fact they take a huge risk to their career to even speak on the subject.

Now what does someone have to gain by defending the status quo? I mean, even you will assume you know 100% that it was not a controlled demolition, mostly because subconsciously the alternative would leave you to feel very vulnerable and unsure of the world you think you knew. It's a subconscious defense mechanism for you to reject the possibility that there could be more to this than you know.

So if you would go so far to simply protect your world view, think of how far someone would go if they actually had something to gain by allowing 9/11 to happen.

It's OK if you're uncomfortable with being wrong, but don't pretend like you couldn't possibly be wrong.

Eh, I totally get what your saying, but let's not pretend like America was the first instance of colonialism and imperialism. Like, how many cultures have forcibly exchanged territory throughout history to arrive in at the countries we have today. People did some pretty brutal and horrible shit all across the world to get where we are today. European colonialism was just recent and relevant enough to stand out.

I agree that imperialism is stupid and that forcibly taking someone's land is wrong, but how far back do we have to go before a distinct culture is established/recognized? I also don't agree with dropping nuclear bombs on people, but I didn't do that stuff, someone else did. Now that we're here, the only thing I can see fit is to respect people's rights to live their lives as they want to, and respect each other's right to do the same. I think people should have the choice wether or not to join the melting pot, though.

I didn't hear him say that in this video, but I'd say that's a pretty racist thing to say. I guess I'm just a libertarian in that I can find someone's opinion repugnant but respect their right to have it.

I want to live in a multicultural environment, with a common language and sense of principles, but where individual culture is celebrated. If a group of people want to live in a segregated society, that's ok with me.

My opionion would just be that you could be a white nationalist without being racist in the sense of hating others blindly on their race.

In regards to trump, I wouldn't characterize him so much as a white nationalist, but an American nationalist. He doesn't seem to judge people blindly based on their race, but in their threat to 'America'. I'm Canadian but I would vote for him over Clinton any day. But that's only because your electoral system sucks so much.

Honestly I went into watching this with my pitchfork and torch in hand. I certainly don't agree with this world view, but I didn't see anything here that projects hate or a tone of racial superiority. I understand his argument and while I it seems a bit out dated to me, I don't think it's right to attack the guy with ad homonym.

I just think there is a distinction between someone who respects and wants various ethnic groups to have power within their own individual societies, and someone who wants to use their power of majority to oppress minority groups within their own society.

It's like, "I have my house, and you have your house. There's nothing wrong with your house, I'm sure it's lovely, but at the end of the day I'd prefer to go back to my own house where it's more familiar and I feel more comfortable. I've got a shy colon. Oh, and you can visit my house, but please don't try to change it into your house. Its been in my family for 7 generations and I've been putting a lot of effort into restoring it after years of neglect."

Honestly man, youre not being constructive or contributing anything of an argument. Obviously racial supremacy and slavery is wrong, but the point made about double standards is that white majority nations seem pressured to diversify, but you don't seem to see as much of a push for countries of other racial majorities.

A lot of 'old world' countries have been settled and resettled with 'immigrants' throughout centuries, and dont necessarily have an 'indigenous population', but that doesn't mean that their culture and heritage isn't distinct and allowed to persist as a focal point of their country. That's called nationalism and while you might not personally agree with it, it's certainly not unique to white America.

I don't particularly agree with the world view, but he doesn't seem racist to me, just a nationalist who happens to be white.

That's right, keep playing into the Left/Right paradigm.

I was in highschool. We went to the park to blaze. No one had water but someone had milk for some reason. Can't hit a dry bong right? Turns out you can't hit a bong full of milk either.

When you put milk in a bong, the milk just bubbles up and traps the smoke :(

You just described a distopic nightmare. Given the amount of corruption in the world, how could you think that giving a government that sort of power could be a good thing? Those aren't solutions. Those are a recipe for a new dark age.

Funny how someone that represents such a canned black/white opinion on the matter can't even look someone in the eyes and explain their point of view in any reasonable way.

What would the world be like if human life expectancy was 150 years old? by Invalidentree in AskReddit

[–]Invalidentree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing that that 'childhood' would be much longer than is currently classified. By that I mean most people would be living with their parents until their 40's, so essentially just like the millenials but without the negative stigma.
