Since a skyscraper must be strong enough at every level to support all of the weight above...
You really just don't understand how structures work, do you? Each level of a structure does not have to act like a building foundation. Thats why there's only one foundation. All the structural elements need only be strong enough to complete the task that the design assigns them. Thats why some walls are "bearing walls" and some are simply partition walls. Some elements have multiple task, like transferring the load of the structure above and adjacent to them to the earth or foundations and may also need to act as supports for architectual elements such as drywall and ceiling tiles. Also note that before a building can "hold itself up" it must first and foremost hold itself together. Separate elements, when cojoined, may act as a unit to acheive a loading task. Individually they may not be capable. In order to make the unit fail you do not need to destroy all the individual elements in a unit separately, you need only overwhelm the connections.
There can be coverups AS WELL AS the 9/11 attack really was an attack by islamic fundamentalists, it just means the coverups aren't as spooky-scary as the way Alex Jones is making them out to be. If you take a look at all my writings, you will note I'm already standing here at the middle ground waiting for you truthers to show up.
The Christmas bomber in Utah and the Capitol bomber in Washington were terrorists planning to murder innocent people in public places. They contacted their fellow terrorists to obtain explosives, set them up to do the most damage (in Utah it was to kill people via remote switch during a Christmas tree lighting, and in DC it was to kill people at the Capitol in a suicide bombing), and when they flipped the switch, nothing happened- it turned out the explosives were fake and the people who supplied the fake explosives to them were really undercover FBI agents so they could catch the terrorists in the act. After all, you can't use the excuse you've been set up when you're wearing an explosive vest and you flip the switch and expect a bomb to go off in a public area. So, WHY do the truthers deliberately ignore things like this?
any action, stratagem, or other means of concealing or preventing investigation or exposure. concealment or attempted concealment of a mistake, crime, etc
A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrong-doing, error, incompetence or other embarrassing information. In a passive cover-up information is simply not provided; in an active cover-up deception is used. The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse their power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. Those who initiate a cover up (or their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty or a crime. While the terms are often used interchangeably, cover-up involves withholding incriminatory evidence, while whitewash involves releasing misleading evidence.
All of the bearing walls or columns on a level must be strong enough in combination to support the combined weights of ALL LEVELS ABOVE.
You are just using semantic details to say the same thing.

Sorry, as a truth seeker I cannot allow you to dilute our cause with inanities.
Debunkers are official story fundamentalists who object to people who challenge the government's official story.
We truth seekers have an inherent and inalienable right to dissent yet debunkers get on our cases because we do not trust the government.
Truth seekers like us want the truth while debunkers are purely focused on us and harangue. They are unproductive while truth seekers engage in a searching discourse.
We truth seekers can talk amongst ourselves, while debunkers are dependent on us for discourse and their existence.
Truth seekers are not accountable to debunkers but the government is accountable to us. If debunkers are so fervent about their convictions, then they should go a head and march on the streets in favour of the government's official story and stay the hell away from us.edit on 16-7-2012 by Ilovecatbinlady because: (no reason given)
What a weird, arrogant post.
And why would anyone bother to march in favour of the "official story"? It's widely accepted and there's no sign of that changing. Really it's truthers who ought to be marching but oddly enough they can rarely be bothered. What heroes.

I don't know why you keep trying to flog this dead horse. I heard nothing about it until the afternoon and this BBC reporter identifies 10 minutes to 2 as the first intimation in London :-

If you are standing at the middle ground already then you must agree that the cover up could be of incompetence, AS WELL AS letting it happen on purpose, AS WELL AS of controlled demolition, AS WELL AS state sponsorship of other countries or terrorists other than Osama Bin Laden, or may be they are covering up something like
Only on 9/11 they couldn't stop their own monster in time? After all they couldn't give them a fake plane so they used real ones and somehow lost control? and when they realized that they lost control they shot down united 93 ?
Just to make sure I didn't misinterpret what you said, i looked up the definition of a cover up...

Or would that be a little too spooky-scary for you?

Again, this is pure arrogance. Painting yourselves as enlightened and humble is a picture I don't recognise at all. Usually I am being threatened with death when the "reckoning" comes, called a traitor and receiving ad hominems myself on this board.
Strictly speaking describing your post as arrpgant is not an ad hominem. So you're wrong about that as well.
No, I accept that definition. Someone attempting to conceal an act of incompetence which may have directly or indirectly led to the deaths of 3000 people is in fact a coverup, and it is most certainly a breach of trust.

And these terrorists are winning because they divided the first group of people into 2 groups, Debunkers vs Truthers. These two groups should not exist at all because they are the same.
This is probably the funniest of all the conspiracy delusions. There are not two groups. There is all of humanity and within that group there is a microscopic subset of conspiracy cultist who like to think that they are onto some big truth wherein some megaconglomerate super evil pact of power hungry uber villians is out to control the world but all the brave truthers are on to them and the game would only be up if it weren't for the dastardly henchmen of the uber villians, the debunkers. This pretty much applies to all conspiracies, but mostly to the 9/11 conspiracies.
Well look at that.. A perfect example right here.. You cant even admit that they have divided conscious people. By conscious i mean those that are aware of current affairs around the world and not the playstation playing zombies.
Is there anything at all that you agree about with "truthers"?

In that definition it also states that some one is attempting to conceal evidence of a crime. But you dont accept that part of definition right?
You are not at the middle ground... and that is my point. You will probably forget that you even wrote that. You forget things i noticed. Or maybe you are just a lying piece of ****. Whatever you are is not somebody willing to admit to being wrong .
Don't be an idiot. Of course that's part of the definition. Coverup includes many definitions up to and including concealing the selling out of the human race to space aliens, too. Agreeing that coverup includes concealing the selling out of the human race to space aliens doesn't mean I believe anyone actually sold out the human race to space aliens. You're being argumentative for argument's sake here.
...to which I stated that "agreeing the coverup could be over controlled demolitions" isn't a middle ground- it's the full and complete acceptance of all the spooky-scary stories you're spinning as well as completely ignoring all the evidence that refutes it. What is even remotely incorrect about that? I took the time to answer your questions and all I get for my efforts is more of your blind, servile devotion to your conspiracy religion.
You really have no credibility.
as i have said before all yoo have to do is ask around or look up faccino . tiger mountain or flying spagetti monster in 9-11 my stories 10 years on but we have been over this for months ???

Yeah, pretty much. And no one believes that you have spoken to "thousands" of people and they all agree that the BBC was broadcasting the events unfolding in the US before they actually happened. Sorry.

So, on a thread designed to find some sort of common ground, you refuse to do so. In fact, you try to smear people and when called on it....you take your ball and go home?
