@Feck - Are you a tagger? (your sig)
I think it would be a good idea to put up walls in parks and let the taggers have at it. When it's covered, photograph it, whitewash it and start over. It's probably more controlled than what taggers would want, but over time the photographs would be a cool history.
We did a project in one of the alleys in Austin where we invited the taggers with the higher reputations to do their art on the walls. It stayed clean for longer than if we'd left it plain paint.

The truth is actually rather more scary. Really bad things happen mostly because people constantly fuck up.
Yes. That's it, I think.
A world where a psychotic bastard is in charge, and one where a grand conspiracy is possible - both are worlds in which you can point to a higher power that organizes things.
I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Mind you, in the real world, there are many little conspiracies - it is the hominid way...

Coming to this discussion a little late, I haven't been paying attention to all the stuff that's come before. You could have replied "50th" or "70th" or whatever - that would have been really helpful.

Are you sure that you're an impartial observer here?
Why shouldn't I be?
Galaxian wrote:Didn't you read about the black smoke indicating low temperature?
Nope. I'm going off the well-observed phenomenon of black smoke indicating burning aviation fuel.
...........
You give every impression of being insincere. All your questions are aimed at me. All your criticisms have been fully answered not just on this thread, but all over the internet. The towers were designed for plane impacts. Even NIST has admitted that the fuel was burned off with a few a minutes. All the damage was at the upper level. So you are dredging up even more points than the official agents. I won't waste more time on you. I've no wish to convert you.

No. Galaxian didn't ignore the clip or video. And Galaxian also DID notice TA's & your dishonest attempt to mislead the other members (as if they even needed that!). How does whistling in the dark placate you? Why does a lazy affiliation to ignorance satisfy you?
a) The flash is tiny compared with the 5m diameter flash of the airliner.
b) The flash comes a long time after the impact; not a short time before...did you notice that? The flash is infact at 13 secs, just ahead of the cockpit, long after the plane has already concertinaed into the concrete wall.
Didn't the above points impress themselves on you? Of course not. And they won't now. Youve an agenda you'd lie for.

Do not discuss moderating issues on threads. You've derailed the thread with every post you've ever made. Stay OT!

Thank you Pappa. I keep hoping for a serious discussion, but keep getting slapstick tomfoolery. 9/11 deserves better
