My mistake. You can consider me a panickied temporary disruptor, if you like. It's well warranted.
You apologized and we get that.
Soldiers need to hear that...from you.
And if you can't do it - you are not a partner to a soldier who stands behind him.
I love my VN veteran. Many folks know me and mine.
As for your stupid foil-hat website, I'm not going to propagate your garbage by putting hits on the site. Maybe you shouldn't bring us every bit of trash you happen to find on the internet.
You were just dying to point that out, weren't you?
BTW, a moderate is just a gutless liberal who can't quite stomach all that they stand for but still wants the free stuff and to fit in with their group of losers that will have them as a "friend".
Let me give you a little perspective...my bachelor's degree is in Civil Engineering. My school was big on pushing Structural Analysis and Structural Design (separate classes in Steel Structures and Concrete Structures.) Alas, since I joined the Air Force shortly after graduation, and the Air Force steered me towards aircraft maintenance management, I never really got a chance to practice engineering, nor did I ever get my professional certification.
Still with me? Read on.
On September 11th, 2001, around the time the first aircraft struck the World Trade Center, I was heading for a meeting...needless to say, the meeting was quickly forgotten, as every TV set in the building I worked at was turned to FoxNews...I saw every single aspect of this tragedy unfold before my eyes. Between the time the second aircraft hit and the time of the first tower collapse, while watching the events unfold, I turned to a co-worker and remarked "those buildings are coming down." My friend said "well, maybe the top floors will collapse or even fall." To this I replied, "no, it's coming down, and it will be a straight down collapse, due to the 'pancaking' effect."
Imagine my horror when, less than 20 minutes after that exchange, the first tower collapsed, almost exactly like I predicted.
Was I in on some "conspiracy"??
No, but I knew enough about the strength of the materials used in building those towers, and the burning temperatures that jet fuel produce in an explosion and subsequent out-of-control fire, to know it was, not only a possibility, but a certainty. I even predicted correctly which tower would fall first, to my continued chagrin.
Do yourself a favor, and make sure you bookmark the Popular Mechanics article, and then send it to your so-called "moderate (not liberal)" brother.
GADS!
SlightOfTongue - you DUMMASS!
I hope you can bite your tongue.
Gads!
Didn't your doctor tell you that medicine he prescribed marked 'suppositories' is NOT to be swallowed?
Those links & videos are fake.
Hey you asked.
I don't think this link is fake!

Dude, I just saw Elvis at the gas station!!
"Are former FReepers selling their vintage FReep names to trolls on eBay or something? Did you somehow hack the registration date?"
...or was the real Freeper away from the computer and this odd duck used his ID?
I think somebody hacked into his account to get even with him for being so snotty to somebody who didn't know who Chris Mathews is. Now he's gotten over a hundred similar slap-downs. LOL
"I don't get it"
Gads. It's pretty simple!
That was uncalled for. Having been a Freeper for a longer period of time is certainly no proof of a superior intellect, as you have demonstrated for us all today.
And that's what this forum is for. Asking questions is a sign of intelligence. The proper response to your original post was to refer you to the popular mechanics article. No flames were called for. There's certainly no need for you to apologize.
BTTT
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, let me think a minute.
And every video tape in the area was confiscated by the FBI...
Give him a break, an old friend contacted me recently and is convinced some wild Gov't conspiracy took place that day.
I did the research and found experts that refuted every aspect.
He then refuted (Or tried) those from links/articles from other "experts" (Yeah, right)The bottom line is it's all a bunch of crap but like so many other conspiracy tales this one will live on and on.
Remember how all the lefties thought we were crazy with the Ron Brown or Vincent Foster stories?
So although I think the whole thing has been dreamed up by a bunch of left wing moon-bats it's still a valid question.
