Forgiveness is for the weak. Understanding should be your goal. Acquisition of knowledge is the highest pursuit known to man. Understanding conspiracy theories may in fact provide you unforeseen nuggets of knowledge, regardless of whether you think they're batty as shit or not.

We're not or should not be simply dismissing them on a psychological basis. Dismissing them via physics knowledge and applied critical thinking is fine, if the math adds up. WTC7 is a bit odd IIRC. It was never struck by the planes. So that is suspicious.

WTC7 was also oddly built over a power substation and on fire on multiple floors for hours before its collapse, having experienced the tremors from the North and South Towers collapsing and been struck by considerable debris. So yes, it's odd, but it was an odd building to begin with.

I don't know jack shit about metallurgy or statics, I allready I admitted that, but the numbers are so staggering that I don't need to.


I'm very much afraid that you do, in order to understand the difference between static and dynamic loads and how a building can be built to resist the former but not the latter -- particularly when weakened by fire. Videogrammetry of the event, corroborated by seismic data from Palisades, suggests a range of times of collapse that in turn allow for speeds of collapse very close to free fall in air-- although not equal, as shown by the seismic records of debris striking the ground in advance of the top of the tower hitting the ground via the collapse. There was resistance, although it was as negligible as one would expect given the mass of the tower top. It didn't break at every link simultaneously, to use your expression; instead, each floor collapsed in sequence, albeit rapidly, as would be expected as they failed under the impact of many tons of debris.

Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (what's up with the uppercases wikipedia, my favourite translator?).

It's capitalized like that because the actual name of the treaty is capitalized like that in official United Nations documents:
https://www.un.org/disarmament/wmd/nuclear/npt/

It's officialspeak, everything is capitalized unless they're words like of, and, the, in, or, etc. It's just standard capitalization for when a long term is the name of something.

Ancient Aliens had an episode about how the moon could be an alien space station the other day. Not part of the moon. It's a hollow metal ball covered in basalt filled with the aliens who abduct people.

But, have you ever noticed that when the moon's out and you keep driving, the moon never seems to get farther away? Clearly, it's following you. What more proof do you need? You're next.

N-no... That... That's not a conspiracy theory. It is certainly an absurd statement but we're talking about CTs.

Who here believes L.H.O. killed J.F.K. with no outside alphabetic acronyms assisting him?
