Maybe it's just me but not too many seem to believe the official story. The onus is on the government, you continue to neglect that they actually work for the people that put them their in the first place.

This is a thread where the the majority is not in favor of the official story, the onus is on the minority (colonel and you included).

You get it now? If not give up we will not hold it against you I promise.



Sorry man, but this poll is 100% NON-scientific, and thus, you should not using it as a premise in your argument. What more do you want the government to tell you? The burden of proof is on the conspiracy theorists to prove their theories SCIENTIFICALLY. Right now, their theories are more akin to Big Foot hiding in the forest. Are there questions? Of course. But the 9/11 conspriracists are jumping to conclusions. They should instead concentrate on an independent 9/11 commission to answer unanswered questions.

Don't you get it? The majority has spoken! Everybody knows engineering and those who claim to have studied in a credible institution are just trying to hide the truth!

which doesn't make him a structural or civil engineer does it? you people are totally hopeless. also, since he hasn't submitted his paper to a proper scientific journal (the first step in gaining scientific acceptance for work) then we don't give a shit.

i am unsure why we (and by "we" i mean anyone that more or less stands by the "official version") are expected to disprove every single crazy theory that comes along, when the proponents of said theories don't even bother trying to pass the rigours of analysis provided by peer review.

its about time some of you people grew up and tried to understand how things in the real world actually work.

what year did you leave school? it was early wasn't it?

you still haven't explained to me why you think this poll on tranceaddict means anything. it fails in so many spectacular ways its not funny.

which any student of stats or research methods could tell you, but we all realise your formal schooling was obviously lacking.

Although I do not know what his academic history is..

none the less he has about 20 years worth of exposure to the stuff.
















what is the official verson.. a bunch of Saudi Nationals trained in Germany and the US took over airplanes and flew them into a few monumental buildings? Killing a village worth of people?

The CIA had knowledge an attack because British Intelligence also was aware would happen and informed the Whitehouse but still no aircraft were put in the intercept vicinity of the targets?

After the attack occured because the word allah appears on a blackbox they spin the terrible gaff in national defence on a international militant organization that was trained in part by the CIA?

Osama Bin Laden one of the Richest men in the world was labled as being the man behind the act OH but also misidentified some individuals as being part of the attack, such as the one that was in Morocco?

The US demanded that a foreign citizen be kidnapped and handed over without proper legal extradition process, and since the goverment refused because there was no evidence linking Osama to the attack NATO bommed the place and supported the overthrow and occupation of the Government - in what resulted in countless torture and resurgence of the Afghani drug trade which soilders par take in?


ect...

what my.. I was having a chat with people on MIRC and inspired people to action but the militants decided on a course of action that would kill thousands of people? That's not good enough? Cause we attacked a nation - for it.. we have to have a reason for it.. we have to have a reason for occupying the country, otherwise we are just monsters that ended 50,000+ peoples lives...?

etc..

thus, i have a "reasoned, formal education."


Posted by Krypton on Apr-09-2008 02:27:

Where is ANY peer-reviewed paper supporting ANY conspiracy theories of 9/11? These guys are jumping to conclusions.

EXAMPLE:

NORAD's failure to protect American airspace. Are there questions? YES! But the conspiracy theorist automatically jump to the conclusion of, "NORAD was sabotaged on purpose." Where are the orders? Who gave the orders? Where's the memo stating the purpose of any "stand down"? Where is the DIRECT evidence? That's right, there is none.

The point being (which I am totally unsurprised that you missed) that I am familiar with the world of academia (and the importance of it) as well as some of the important characteristics that may (or may not) differentiate similar bodies of work (or thought) from each other.

thus I am unlikely to post "yo w_astley owned this thread!" because I confused the issue due to lack of experience and/or knowledge of academic endeavours.

What's even funnier is that you somehow think all those credentials are more important than the capacity to produce a proper scientifically-validated (meaning peer review) study.

don't be jealous that mummy and daddy couldn't afford to send you through school. that's quite common.

again, the onus is upon you to provide the evidence, not us (again, something you would understand if you'd spent a little more time in school).

but, keep at it internet detective! your non sequiturs are a constant source of entertainment.

also, there ARE 2 peer-reviewed studies that support (more or less) the findings of the NIST report (which, despite its flaws is still superior to everything the CTs have been able to produce).

With all due respect to to Colonel, no offense, but engineers aren't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. They do grunt work, scientists do the thinking. Number crunching and following procedure they don't even necessarily fully appriciate or understand is a simpiified description of what an engineer does, of any kind. Scientist on the other hands, engage in criticial thinking, refining existing theories, formulating new ones, etc etc. In short, engineers are grunts who can't handle too much thinking. Which is why liberal arts majors, ever so proud of their piece of cake degrees that they have a stick the size of the WTC up their ass, are fairly condescending to anyone who doesn't have a formal college education to make up for their lack of drive, intelligence, or competence. It's quite ammusing and consequently they're hard to take seriously, especially when it comes to any scientific issue. Yeah, I don't care if you have a degree in humanities, economics, or whatever else... you still are absolutely clueless when it comes to anything invovling science, and your formal education doesn't mean squat when it comes to understanding anything involving physics. You may be articulate as hell but your empty rhetoric means less than a simple quation with a three line proof. So their degrees are essentially worthless and they basically have the same calibur of rationalality, logic, and critical reasoning as someone with no degree at all. Their arrogant and ignorant attempts at arguments are ammusing to say the least, not becuase they don't necessarily know what they're talking about, but mostly because of their inflated baseless ego's with no merit.

EDIT: The most incompitent dolts I've ever had the misfortune to have to collaporate with in any type of natural science class has always been engineers who're thick as bricks and take forver to catch on to anything.

Oh, ok. So a tertiary level education doesn't give anyone the experience with appreciating the rigours of academic inquiry or experience in judging intellectual or academic honesty? (which is what my point was)

It's amusing for you to lambast me over my lack of scientific credientials whilst simultaneously lauding the scientific community generally, yet ignore the fact that nobody on your side of the fence actually fits the characteristics that you're preaching (engage in criticial thinking, refining existing theories, formulating new ones, etc etc). NONE of your scientists have passed peer-review - if you're really such a lover of the scientific method, why you keep ignoring this glaring problem is kind of beyond me. (ie where is your simple equation with three line proof champ?)

And yes, I'll take a formal education over the idiotic and dishonest conclusions drawn by the under-educated like culorut when it comes to their ability to assess basic evidence, scientific or not.

The physicists you love to deride and discredit so much has quite a few peer reviewed published journals in the past and isn't exactly some dolt with no credibility. Non sequitors and argumentum ad verecundiam don't qualify as legitimate criticism.

No they don�t shaolin. Not one. Getting your fellow buddies at "journal of 911 studies" to mark your work doesn't count as a proper peer review. So, let's stop being disingenuous shall we?

And even if that were true (and for emphasis i'll reiterate that its not), why we're looking to a physicist when it comes to building collapse is still beyond me.

Haha, a scientifically sound argument is more than enough, and no it doesn't come from the so called sources you're trying to associate me with. I don't require external validation to reinfornce something I can easily comprehend myself with concepts I've already understand well for a while now.

a "scientifically sound" argument is only sound because it has support through rigorous peer review. feel free to provide me with the argument if you have it at hand.

so what you're really saying is that you know everything and do not require external sources to support your opinion, despite the fact that your rudimentary understanding of physics isn't nearly good enough to explain and comprehend the complicated nature of sky scraper collapse?

thus far the only science-driven stuff ive read from you revolved around analysing the kinetic energy and how it was dissipated. Not a particularly strong or comprehensive argument by any stretch of the imagination.

I do have an old memory of you talking about the conservation of momentum idea proposed by our old friend steven jones, but that idea has been shat on by the wider scientific community if I am not mistaken.

Haha, touche. But your problem is that those that DO possess such relevant expertise (like our good friend colonel) ARE willing to discuss it with you but you seem to be less interested.

No, it's soudn because it's in agreement with known laws and theorems. You've never studied discrete mathematics have you?

thus far the only science-driven stuff ive read from you revolved around analysing the kinetic energy and how it was dissipated. Not a particularly strong or comprehensive argument by any stretch of the imagination.

No, I'ce brought up several other points in the past, problem is, it didn't suit the negligent flawed analysis and theorising necessary for the state sactioned conspiracy theory.

Colonel actually never counter argued a single point I brought up, but simply obfuscated it with other possibilities with out presenting any reasonable need for adjustment based on probability or any other compelling justification. I eventually got sick wasting my breath, time and energy as the only repsonse I reveiced in this thread were irrelevant rants and non sequitors.

And what about the planes hitting the towers? Was that just for show?

"Let's have suicidal hi-jackers crash their planes into the towers, and THEN we'll blow them up."

Really, that is a stupid assertion...

Is it really that hard to apply the scientific method to any of these theories? Or are we to simply take our cues from Zeitgeist?

oh really? and which "laws and theorems" in particular? (in case youre wondering, it takes more than a little mathematical equation to represent the collapse of a building.)

are we going to go back to talking about how physics is an exact science and completely unprepared to adequately explain the nature of a sky scraper collapsing? there's a reason people get engineers to build buildings and not physicists. (and no, i dont recall doing discrete mathematics).

FYI, there's nothing about the official story that isn't in agreement with known laws and theorems, the only people that cry out about "breaking the laws of physics" are conspiracy theorists who completely misunderstand how a controlled demolition works.

having an argument that is in agreement with known laws is all well and good. its still a completely different story to get that argument tested by other experts. so again, i ask you for the peer-review in any respected scientific journal.

fair enough, you'll forgive me if i can't remember the entirety of the dozen or so 911 threads

well he did from where i was sitting. especially the contrast he drew between physics and civil engineering, and their relative differences concerning an ability to adequately represent something like the collapse of a sky scraper.

blah blah irrelevant nonsense. gotcha. you and trancer-x should have babies, you'd get on perfectly.
