The article in the link from leolaia was pretty informative. One weak part in it is about bidg. 7. There have been intense fires in many, many skyscrapers over the years. Never has a skyscraper collapsed from just fire (the article says it was intense fire that brought it down. No planes flew into bldg 7, no jet fuel was added to bldg 7. It was just standing there on fire one minute, then it fell, in the same exact manner that the toweras fell (to my untrained eye.)
To those of you who insulted me above, basically calling me dumb, I see this is more of an emotional issue than a scientific one. So to funkyderek I say, Fuck you condescending prick. I'll leave my reponse to that.

School loans can give you enough to live on. Depending on what year you are in (sophomore, junior) you will get more and more loans. I practically lived of my loans by themselves. At the end I was getting about 6,000 per semester in loans and grants and scholarships. PM me and we can talk about your fafsa. it may be that you are not filling it out "properly."

I have used Ockham's Razor many times to argue my point in this or that. but one thing about it; it is not a proof of anything at all. In reality complexity exists on every level. if we were to apply Ockham's Razor to everything, we would never have invented rockets, cured diseases etc. The truth of the matter is that things are exactly as complex as they happen to be. They are neither less complex nor more complex than they really are. just because we think it makes sense that it should be less complex, or if it is logical that it be less complex, this does not change the reality of the matter, and it doesn't take the place of, or nullify actual empirical evidence. Just because something is PREFERRABLE does not make it true. So, Ockham's theory does not prove anything at all. The loop hole in it is "all things being equal." It is not equal to the reality to assume that something is less complicated than it really is.
In the case of 9/11 theories, first of all, labeling them conspiracy theories is an ad hominem attack. It is labeling and name calling. Second, there are a lot of unanswered questions. When I hear someone say that the towers were not demolitioned, I think, "Really" with a sarcastic tone in my voice. "It sure looks like a demolition to me, and to EVERYBODY. Gee, so those planes were the first planes in all of history to be completely evaporated without a single trace?" "Really" is my reply.
I'm not saying I know the answers, I'm just saying, I think we need to keep investigating 9/11. there is just too many unanswered questions. And that Popular Mechanics article was just not very convincing. it bordered on the ridiculous. If only there were a SINGLE other plane/building catastrophe that could verify that buildings would fall like a demolition upon impact, it would be easier to believe. But the singularity of this event is what should make everyone be very suspicious. In fact, the Empire State building DID endure a plane collision. I believe it was a B-52 if I'm not mistaken. The building is still there. -

Evidently sometimes we need a kick in the ass to get us moving. In any case, why refuse to write this news paper because your feelings were hurt by me? Haven't we all been hurt by the WTS? Get mad at them, not me. Take it out on them. Forget me and what I say and do. I am not important. Squashing the WT propaganda IS important. If you like, come visit me and I'll let you take a swing at me to relieve your hurt feelings. In the mean time, WRITE AN EMAIL TO THIS PAPER. I really do not understand why a single one of you would hesitate for ONE SECOND on this matter. Someone clue me in about this. Don't punish the rest of the world for something that I said.

I just don't understand the infernal apathy on this site. it's all well and good to bad mouth the society here in closed circle, but you just won't lift a damn finger to take a real action! So, again, OI BEG you. Write this paper. Let us settle the score and go on record for doing so. I want to see HUNDREDS of you writing this news paper, not tens. we can do it if you'll just get off your comfy little chairs. no wait, you DON'T have to get up out of your chairs at all. JUST SIT THERE AND WRITE A GODDAMNED EMAIL for chists sake!!!
