Never said that, plus you are shifting the burden of proof.

No, because I have based my conclusions on evidence.

I have not just listened to "the reports", I have evaluated the evidence and came to a conclusion.

I don't need to know the full 100% story (although I never said I didn't) to come to a logical conclusion with the evidence provided.

Kinda hard not to because of your continous insults.
Originally posted by Jerry_Teps
You are also not making any claims here, however, truthers are.
Originally posted by Jerry_Teps
I care whether my beliefs are right or not, which is why I am open to the possibility that it was a government conspiricy, but you have not provided sufficient evidence to substantiate your claims, which is why I am expressing critical scepticism of your claims.
Again with the ad hominems, no I am a mathematics and physics major (honours) and I am working on my Ph.D. I have evalutated the evidence, and came to the conclusion it was as the vast majority of investiagations concluded.
R.I.P. 9/11 Debunkers 9/11/2006
You tried... and you failed...
You'd get an A for effort if you weren't already being paid by Cass Sunstein.
Re-Investigate 9/11
"The use of 'conspiracy theory' as a derogatory -- as an epithet almost -- is something the propagandists have perfected over the decades, and it's a useful tool for eliminating articulate dissent and other points of view, and information that might be inconvenient for a policy agenda." - Chris Sanders, Oil, Smoke & Mirrors
"For all of the 9/11 debunkers who want to argue please read below first so you do not make a fool of yourself.
A little information on what theories actually are:.
In the sciences, a scientific theory (also called an empirical theory) comprises a collection of concepts, including abstractions of observable phenomena expressed as quantifiable properties, together with rules (called scientific laws) that express relationships between observations of such concepts. A scientific theory is constructed to conform to available empirical data about such observations, and is put forth as a principle or body of principles for explaining a class of phenomena.
(1) A scientific theory is a type of of deductive theory, in that its content (i.e. empirical data) could be expressed within some formal system of logic whose elementary rules (i.e. scientific laws) are taken as axioms. In a deductive theory, any sentence which is a logical consequence of one or more of the axioms is also a sentence of that theory.
(2) Basically, to break the above information down, a scientific theory is scientifically testable through facts of scientific law.
So now lets move on to Intertheoretic reduction and elimination.
The definition of Intertheoretic Reduction: If there is a new theory which is better at explaining and predicting phenomena than an older theory (i.e. has more explanatory power), we are justified in believing that the newer theory describes reality more correctly. This is called an intertheoretic reduction because the terms of the old theory (such as the one put forward by the people covering up 911) can be reduced to the terms of the new one.
Now is cases where a new theory uses new terms which do not reduce the terms of an older one, but rather replace them entirely because they are actually a misrepresentation it is called an intetheoretic elimination. For instance, an obsolete theory that phlogiston is a substance released from burning and rusting material was eliminated with the new understanding of the the reactivity of oxygen

I guess honesty isn't a cornerstone requirement in the search for truth.
Over 1,200 archtiects and engineers HAVE NOT question the collapse of building 7.
That is a blatant lie.
2. Your right, claiming 1200 engineers who express scepticism over the collapse as meaningful is an illogical tactic.
What sort of engineer? Civil, electrical, biochemical....?

Nice attempt at a veiled insult. Did you really think I would answer you after you insulted me?
Butcher guy? Go play with your meat.
What I can't fathom is that if WTC 7 was brought down by fire, why it came down in the 3 1/2 second or so that it did.
Why didn't the building fail gradually, as the fire burned through and exhauted fuel sources and continued to spread.
And, how can something so chaotic and out of control as an unchecked fire cause such a perfect collapse?
We are lead to believe that 3 high rise buildings were all brought down by fire, and all three collapsed perfectly in upon their own footprints, at or near free fall speed.
Anybody care to venture a guess as to what kind of odds a Las Vegas Casino would have waged against it happening?

Its pretty simple. The 1200 is based on the number of "signatures" on the websites petition. Not all are engineers and architects and very few have any background that would make their opinion of any greater value than say a store clerk. Having a degree in computer science does not, by a long shot, make you an authority on structures.
How many of the arch and eng have ever put there stamp on any kind of demolition plan.
Having any degree in engineering obviously gives you an edge in critical thinking compared to the hundreds of millions of uneducated people out there. Most store clerks don't bring that up

You must have evidence in order to base your conclusions on them! So technically, you claimed to have evidence.

What evidence did you evaluate to make your conclusion? Do you have evidence or not?

This is the reality check of your errors. YOU are the one who is shifting. I have been steady as a rock. You are now a proven liar, or suffer from alzheimers disease.
Originally posted by IsALL
Show me your evidence that you just claimed to have.
Originally posted by IsALL
I never claimed to have evidence, nor did I claim any position on the matter, so I have no burden. I have nothing to prove or disprove. Only you do, and it has been that way since the beginning of this topic and you didn't even realize it.
Originally posted by IsALL
I never said you said that. I AM ASKING YOU. Do you have evidence that 19 Muslim hijackers controlled the jets on 911?
Yes or No?
You failing to answer these questions honestly is very telling.

How in the world could I have any burden of proof when I am not trying to prove anything? I don't even have a position, or a conclusion, or anything to prove!
Originally posted by IsALL
However, YOU DO. You just said you have evidence and a conclusion. You are AVOIDING answering. YOU are the one doing the shifting.

Your actions and errors on this topic are revealing a lot about you.

Now do you see your blatant errors?
You made a fatal mistake in your tactics. You blindly criticized something that didn't even exist!

I live in NYC... I have friends who witnessed the tours fall.
I personally know 2 FDNY fireman who were involved in the cleanup and rescue
, my friends Aunt died in the WTC collapse
, and to boot, one of my best friends was in Marines training when 9/11 happened and was privy to all sorts of details the public wasn't...
Sorry folks, 9/11 was a terrorist act perpetrated by radical islamic fundamentalists.
If you had any clue, you would all know this. I am not trying to pick a fight, but its really tough to find anyone in NYC who buys the bs
...we all know what happened.
Only people going nuts over some "unexplained" video tape give these hairbrained theories any credence.
Real NY'ers who were actually AFFECTED by these attacks know the truth. "Truthers" know precisely ZERO.
Cut it out with this stuff, its embarrassing.

It didn't.
You're right, my bad. It took 6 1/2 seconds. Still nearly free fall speed.
Why didn't the building fail gradually, as the fire burned through and exhauted fuel sources and continued to spread.
Because the building collapsed, what you are describing is called "melting".
Really? So you're saying the fire didn't cause the steel beams and other supports to melt then? And just what do you think the fire did to cause the building to collapse?
And, how can something so chaotic and out of control as an unchecked fire cause such a perfect collapse?
Uh, perfect? Ok, thats a new one. What is a perfect collapse and why do you think Building 7 collapse was perfect?
Well gee lets see, the buidling fell in on it's own footprint at nearly free fall speed. Nothing to slow the collapse, and little to no resistance.
We are lead to believe that 3 high rise buildings were all brought down by fire, and all three collapsed perfectly in upon their own footprints, at or near free fall speed.
Well, thats what you are "led" to believe if your sole source of information are conspiracy websites. They have a vested interest in you being "led" in that direction, hence, that is what you believe.
And the government has a much greater interest in yor buying into the bull# that you've been spoon fed. It's not like the goverrnment has EVER lied to us before, right?
Anybody care to venture a guess as to what kind of odds a Las Vegas Casino would have waged against it happening?
Against what happening? A terrorist attack? Pretty good odds considering it happened in 1993. Against a building collapsing that had been struck by a plane and was burning? 50/50.
Really? WTC 7 was attacked by terrorists. My bad again. I was under the impression that it collapsed solely due to a fire. Please educate me on just how the terrorists attacked WTC 7.
Stop trying to twist my words around. NO, the odds of three high rise buildings falling at near free fall speed and collapsing almost perfectly within their own footprints, one solely due to fire.
