Critical thinking is no longer taught and many that once had it are lost to the masses because the falsehoods are easier....

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

You mean o tell me that the third building isn't evidence that 9/11 wasn't an "inside job?"
Or at the least an expected thing?

Re: Combating Pseudoscience
I knew someone who evacuated from Building #7. They were told to leave shortly after debris falling from the towers started fires in Building #7 and she recounted a rather harrowing tale of dodging debris as they ran towards Vesey street. As they were IRS workers they headed for the nearby IRS Manhattan Headquarters building on Church Street.
But the building was on fire and burned all day before collapsing.
Please don't tell me you are one of those Truther morons?

I am always open to "a good story, well told."

And apparently to shitty stories, poorly told as well.

Re: Combating Pseudoscience
Yes and pointless commentary on 7 year old threads is not appreciated.
