That's right folks, I said impossible! Impossible to change the minds of people that believe that these buildings actually collapsed because of a plane crash and a fire. I just got into a very heated debate that almost ended up in a physical fight because someone who was there on 9/11 claimed that "I'm no scientist" and therefore I have no knowledge of the subject. But I'll assume he believes he does know what temperature steel melts and jet fuel burns because he was a cop in the NYPD and was there when it happened. I tell ya, we're fighting a losing battle trying to expose the truth. I've read the 9/11 report, watched countless hours of video, sifted through thousands of documents and these people won't even have an open mind about the myriad phenomenon that occurred that day. For things to happen the way the official story says, NY hit the lottery at least a dozen times in one day. How do you deal with blatant ignorance? I just got up and left.
Instead of arguing with the cop, did you ever consider THANKING HIM for putting his life on the line every day to make sure you can wallow in your "the gov't is plotting to murder us all" conspiracy stories in perfect comfort? I'm sorry for sounding belligerant, but Jeez, Louse, that NYPD cop almost certainly knows at least one fellow policeman who was killed on 9/11. How can he NOT become irate over this?
All reports agree the towers collapsed becuase of irregular thermal expansion of the steel exploiting an achilles heel within the design that noone knew was there, so when you say, "fires melted the steel" right away it means you only have the Wile E. Coyote cartoon version of 9/11 that Dylan Avery, Alex Jones, et al are foisting on people,. If there is disagreement with the NIST, FEMA, MIT, Perdue, etc reports (which, incidentally, DID come from scientists), fine, I can accept that, but don't be making up your own details to suit your own purpose and don't complain when you encounter someone who was actually there and can you on it.
If you're so emotionally attached to these conspiracy stories that you're willing to even argue with cops over it, this isn't being motivated to learn the truth about 9/11. It's motivated by a blind ideology to convert others into believing what you yourself believe regardless of what the truth is, and NYPD cops who most likely lost a colleague on 9/11 is a BAD BAD BAD place for you to be doing this.

This is the most shameful over all tactic of the official conspiracy theory marketers. To try and shame a person for voicing his legitimate concerns over the (literal) crime of the century, and all the obvious contradictions that have never been even addressed by the official conspiracy theory. Used to be that you jokers would use the "9/11 families" as guilt tools against anyone who questioned the OTC. Then it was the victims themselves - as if investigating a homicide disresepcts the murder victim somehow. This is the first time I've seen one of you flacks use dead cops as your baseball bat to break up a discussion about the 9/11 conspiracy.
Congratulations. You've hit the lowest in this post that I've ever seen any of you pukes go. USA! USA! USA!

That is why the problem is the engineering schools and all of the people with the DEGREES and CERTIFICATIONS who should have been explaining why it was IMPOSSIBLE years ago.
Why doesn't Richard Gage and his buddies talk about the distribution of steel in the towers? I have been to one of his dog and pony shows. Gage is a propagandist. He is not trying to get people to COMPREHEND this scientifically.
So as long as most SCIENTISTS remain silent we are stuck with this bull#. But it means they are helping to propagate ignorance to the next generation.

I think it says more about our education system than anything else and people's slavish, unquestionable trust in authority. Some people just aren't sufficiently educated to understand what near-freefall is, the conservation of momentum, or how a building can be blown to smithereens in mid-air due to gravity alone. Some would rather believe authority than trust their own eyes. Just yesterday someone told me that WTC7 looked nothing like a controlled demolition. In their efforts to bamboozle people NIST will lead them on a phantasmagorical trip around the universe and up the garden path until people's minds are exhausted and lost in bewilderment underneath the mountains of nonsensical, self-contradictory pseudoscience while the media will constantly drum it into their patsy heads that whoever questions the OS are nuts, until they emerge a pre-programmed zombie, who goes fourth into the world to repeat mindlessly and unremittingly the dogmas with which they have been brainwashed.
I agree, WTC 7 looked nothing like a controlled demolition. The building experienced unfought fires all day, It was leaning, creaking and bulging and all firefighters were pulled back from it. When it collapsed the penthouse fell in first , the roof line crumbled and then the rest of the building. There were no demolition detonations as in this case of a real cd :-

While you are at it, perhaps you could try to argue the facts and cut out the moronic we truthers are so much superior to anyone else attitude. My observation on here is that truthers are frequently ignorant of basic facts and almost totally lacking critical faculties.
