    I think there is more of a chance in that than what the truthers believe.
    Just for the record I think there is zero chance Obama is working for OBL

    no, i think i'm on the right track.
    in order for me to believe it was demolished intentionally, i'd have to hear a plausible explanation as to how the charges were installed without anyone knowing.


    no, i'm not an expert, but i did watch a show on discovery channel about them demolishing a casino in Vegas.
    went through the whole process of how it's done. took them WEEKS to install them all. and that was in a building that no longer had interior walls. just the skeleton on the inside.

    that may be hard to believe, but he has to believe something, because apparently one thing he knows for sure is that fire and debris cant possibly collapse a skyskraper. his whole argument is based on that premise. so amazing. a total refusal to believe something that is nothing more than exactly what you should expect. literally the least suspicious outcome.

    Its much easier to believe that the owners assesed the damages, decided insurance wasn't gonna pay enough,
    Ran out an aquired massive amounts of demolitions, snuck into a heavily damged builing that is on fire,
    Rigged the explosives in record time, sneak back out, evacuate to a safe distance, and remotely detonate them just to collect a check.
    And they came up with this plan in the midst of the worst terrorist attack in US history.

    Pretty amazing stuff.

    Much more plausible than a burning building succombing to fire damage.

    To quote Sherlock Holmes "when all else is proven impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must
    Be the truth."

    flabengal is wedded to a certain philosophy. that philosophy hinges on the truth of his one central assertion, that it isnt possible for a building like this to burn down. now this is clearly an absurd idea. but he is unwilling to examine it rationally, unwilling to accept the truth that is staring him in the face. everything hinges on that. he scrambles to find alternative views that agree with his premise, no matter how ludicrous, and always remains unwilling to accept the simple answer. why is that? why do you guys think that is? why would someone refuse what is obvious and go out of their way to avoid what is simple and obvious, repeatedly asserting that the obvious and true answer is not only not true, but impossible?

    Being the Devils Advocate sometimes brings out the arguments that otherwise are not considered. Every now and then an impossible idea turns out to be true. Meanwhile, discussing such ideas allow us to debunk the patently ridiculous.

    You are taking his argument far too personally, especially in light of some of your own irrational philosophies that you cling to tenaciously. Better to simply debunk his argument and move on without challenging his right to be opinionated.

    i neither have irrational positions, nor do i challenge anyone's right to be opinionated, and i do debunk his argument. i am simply curious about the psychological state of truthers, which is exactly what i just said. not sure what you are reading.
