I have to admit…renovation costs is a new one on me. That is the first time I have heard that as an excuse.

This is the first time I’ve heard that too. Is it a common Truther belief or does she have her own private wing in their asylum?

I would think the conspiracy Truthers would be contemptuous of that theory, since it attributes the destruction to Greedy Capitalists rather than Deranged War Mongers in our Government.

The Nero Theory of city renovation makes a come back.

When people don’t have a job/life/clue/functioning braincell/rationality you get projects such as this experiment in stupidity. Becuase everyone knows double wrapped chicken wire is the equivalent of steel girders.

People like this just do not understand basic physics. A more simple experiment is to bust cinder blocks with your head. If you place the ends of the blocks on anything it is quite easy. If you place the blocks on the ground you will kill yourself. Also, you can stack a bunch of blocks on top of each other and you will kill yourself. If you place spacers between the blocks, you can bust a hundred as all you have to do is get the first one going and the weight and gravity take care of the rest.

Simply put, the force being applied DOWN on the center is amplified by the force being applied on the ends UPWARD. Collapse is eminent with the right amount of pressure. I have been winning bets with this since I was a kid. My kids (girls) can bust blocks with ease.

The protester, identified as Skyler Martin King, 25, of Corpus Christi, had been holding a sign that read “9/11 was an inside job.”

An insignificant individual trying to amplify their importance at an insignificant event.

The actress made her comments on a French television program in February 2007, saying “I think we’re lied to about a number of things,” including who brought down the World Trade Center.

Cotillard argued that it was an inside job, prompted by the towers becoming obsolete.

“It was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to recable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them,” she said.

Man, the “arts” don’t prepare its “professionals” for much, do they? It doesn’t seem a lot of thought went into this comment Ah, to be the French…

Was Cotillard there when the Towers were built? Did she know the process undertaken to build such towering edifices? Is she an architect or scientiest or just pretending to be?

Such a comment(s) is a slap to all those who lost someone they loved that day including me. I think the “arts” or Hollywood sucked the “human being” right out of her, don’t ya think? Add one more useless boob to the pile…

I doubt many of these folks could understand the facts presented in simple terms thanks to Popular Mechanics on the physical science involving the collapse of the Trade Towers.

They just close their eyes and point out that Benjamin Chertoff, first cousin of Michael Chertoff, is one of the reasearchers on the piece, therefore Popular Mechanics must be part of the conspiracy.

Beat me to it, but yeah. They have their list of professionals and experts with lists of questions (though if you look at their qualifications, out of hundreds of supporters, only about a half dozen have the background to quantitatively analyze a structural collapse). And when someone takes them on to answer their questions with logic and facts, the Truthers always come back with a “well, what about….?!” With the Truthers, it’s not about facts, it’s about faith. They have a particular world view, and, the same as any religious faith or political ideology, seek whatever “truth” they can to justify it, in this case their seething hatred of Boöosh or the Joooz. They claim to be open-minded, but reject all facts that counter what they want to believe. It’s a waste of time to try to convince them of the error of their ways.

The worst was the first year these bozos congregated “en mass” at Ground Zero (2005?) during the remembrance ceremonies, with their black tee-shirts and signs.

I got SO heated with one of them as I walked to work, that we walked right into a FOX 5 reporter live on air. I would pay $ for that footage!

Hence BDS, the anger against Sen. Lieberman, etc.

They are nuts.

(Lizard men and other far out theories on Denver international Airport are getting a lot of publicity at the moment. Go figure … Ron Paul supporters.)

These morons would not believe the sky is blue if a conservative told them so. they would come up with some sort of theory that global warming has changed the color from a green or pink to blue because of mans careless attitude for mother earth.

As we say in Texas, rah chair: http://thoseshirts.com/anti-obama-shirts.html

Damn, she sure is astute. You just can’t fool some people. If only the foolish masses had the insight of people like her. Now that she is on to the truth she better go into hiding as men in black suits with dark glasses will soon be visiting her.
