July Stundie Nominations

R-J, posting in the "Nuclear Power Safe?" thread in Social Issues & Current Events has an unusual theory about why Israel bombed Saddam Husseins nuclear reactor at Osirak in 1981:

In that regard, I remember when Israel bombed a nuclear reactor, before it even started up. Killed a few French engineers in the process. Nobody in the west really protested, much less cared, because it was bad people building the reactor. And bad people shouldn't have reactors. Why? Everybody knows the answer.

I don't even have to say it. Because everybody already knows, nothing is as dangerous as an operating nuclear reactor. They are so dangerous, people want to bomb them or prevent them from ever being built. Why are people nervous about North Korea having nuclear power? If it is so safe and harmless compared to coal? Nobody is complaining about North Korea having coal power.

Just nuclear power.
 
There's at least two Stundie noms in this, but the second paragraph is the best:

The plane that hit the North Tower hit the side facing Building 7. The impact made debris fly AWAY from Building 7. If I throw a rock at a glass window, the fragments are going to move away from me and not towards me. Therefore, it's very unlikely that Building 7 got hit by any huge debris from the airplane impact into the North Tower when it was over 100 yards away from the base of the North Tower.

...

Since the North Tower came down like a perfect controlled demolition with not even 1 degree of tilt it's very doubtful that anything larger than dust, paper or pieces of drywall and possibly several steel girders hit Building 7. No photos exist of a huge chunk hitting Building 7.


Yeah, it was hit by only dust and drywall, oh, and a few massive steel girders. No biggie.
 
Man, he just goes downhill from there....

What is much more likely is that different types of incendiaries and explosives were used to take down the towers. Steel girder supports were slowly cut up before the collapses using thermate cutter charges, Then a very powerful explosive like a mini nuke was used in the sub-basements to vaporize the steel girder core foundations. At that point the floor pans were hanging like a thread and a "house of cards". Then it was only a matter of using remote controlled electronic detonation to knock out the remaining supports for the floor pans doing it in sequence from the top down to make it look like the floor pans were "pancaking".


I don't think I've seen an attempt to shoehorn in so many ideas since the "reverse vampires" episode of The Simpsons.....
 
I just read the phrase "The debunkers at ATS". Not really a Stundie but it did give me a "huh whaaaa?" moment.
 
Hey WDC, femr2 is on a run! Not only don't terms he uses mean what they mean. In this little gem, he explains that statements he makes in this forum do not represent his position:

Your work helps to refute some CT arguments.
Is that a fair rendering of your position?

My position ? No. My work does help to refute some CT arguments.
 
BeAChooser, hater of all things Clinton, is still trying to get people to believe that Ron Brown was murdered. Best of all he thinks that stuff actually disappears from the internet.

Well, what can I say? At this point in time, almost 15 years later, it's a wonder that anything is left on the internet regarding the Brown matter.
 
^Here's my new theory:

On 9/11 the government used 4 exploda-birds. Those things a bloody good at knocking structures down!

I'm actually working on a theory that Angry Birds is a plot to subtly brainwash people into expecting structures to be destroyed by flying objects.

And how often do they "just collapse" long after you think they've arrived at a stable state? No pig-built structure should be so prone to spontaneous collapse!

Priceless. Hard to believe anyone can be that clueless about gravity.

BTW, the vertical supports are referred to as "COLUMNS". Girders are large horizontal beams typically supporting OTHER floor beams.

All I can say is there is always a lot of brown matter on the internet, otherwise this thread would not be possible;)

Fortunately, there are twice as many girls as there are receptacles of brown matter.
