Huh? Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM
For a dramatic example on why we need to stop terrorists? After all, Pearl Harbor was the springboard American people needed to send us to war.

Are you implying that the American public was in favor of war with Nazi Germany and/or Imperial Japan prior to Pearl Harbor?


You know what springboard means right? I'm saying America needed Pearl Harbor to happen to propel us into war. Before that, we were on the fence. So, no, I was implying the exact opposite.

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1379 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 918 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 954 Views

Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 870 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 995 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 933 Views
I've seen controlled demolitions in person. They happen in the opposite order of the WTC collapses. Ghavrel - 21/09/2011 03:54:35 AM 949 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. ironclad - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 839 Views
Re: Asking questions is never wrong. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 11:57:04 PM 1001 Views
Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 880 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 821 Views
I don't know if the Internet is degrading skills, or just giving stupid people a voice beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 02:33:24 PM 952 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 933 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 1026 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 905 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 1007 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 822 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 865 Views
I don't think there is any evidience that Bush wanted to attack Iraq before 9-11 random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:21:09 PM 881 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 943 Views
Well if you had argued that some Bush advisers wanted to attack Iraq I would have agreed random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:35:07 PM 922 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 900 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 939 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 764 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 933 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 872 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 999 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 806 Views
I stopped responfding when suddenly realized I didn't want to be in a Bush Iraq war debate random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:53:29 PM 811 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 845 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 893 Views
Even if that were true, it would still be flip flopping on a central Bush platform plank. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:45:10 PM 924 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 1010 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 946 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 898 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 944 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 889 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 914 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 974 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 948 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 869 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 898 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 914 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 997 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 989 Views
You should watch the pilot episode of the X-Files spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:19:15 PM 945 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 852 Views
Won't help Praziquantel - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 926 Views
Make 'em all take debate. nossy - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 869 Views
Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 1014 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 420 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 868 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 897 Views
Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Tom - 21/09/2011 01:05:18 AM 885 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 862 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 893 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 900 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 466 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 1083 Views
Re: Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 03:02:19 AM 919 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 784 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 945 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 818 Views
I didn't mean to imply that it is no fun to argue with a like-minded person Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 04:15:47 PM 841 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 911 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 822 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 961 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 450 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 865 Views
+1 *NM* Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:59:57 PM 393 Views
Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. jh - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1085 Views
Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 883 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1067 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 865 Views
Well, it requires a lot more science to really dispute things than HS can give someone Isaac - 21/09/2011 11:28:29 PM 884 Views
