Alright, I'm sorry if I was being a dick. It just bothers me when people continue to hold opinions in spite of facts. You can't express an opinion about a fact, it just is, and all the facts about 9/11 point to nothing anywhere close to a conspiracy.
Do you still believe it was? (I won't argue with you anymore, I'm just curious)

Well I guess she's all out of "unanswered" questions.
The sad part is I barely had to do any digging to find the answers to them. The internet is a fantastic resource ladies and gents, just make sure to fact check everything you read before you spew it out on social media.

Note that the story talks of a "heightened security alert" being lifted, and "extra security" being taken away. So the security levels weren't weakened compared to usual, they were just returning to normal levels.

And this: "The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said yesterday.
Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday, bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed.
"Today was the first day there was not the extra security," Coard said. "We were protecting below. We had the ground covered. We didn't figure they would do it with planes. There is no way anyone could have stopped that.""

Ummmm you do realize that the towers were up for more that a few seconds right? More than enough time for exactly what I just told you happened to them.
As for the "sounds of explosions", here's a few things that can explain that. Transformers and other electrical equipment, a whole floor of concrete crashing into another (that's pretty loud in case you were wondering), steel bolts snapping under tremendous pressure. Even the firefighters who were there name those things as the most likely sources of the noises.
Also here's this for ya "Police K9 Sirius was an Explosive Detection Dog with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department. Sirius, along with his partner, Police Officer David Lim, were assigned to the World Trade Center in New York, where their primary duty was to check vehicles entering the Complex, clear unattended bags and sweep areas for VIP safety...
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Sirius and Officer Lim were at their Station"

Also in case you were wondering, you're right, the steel never melted. Here's what really happened. The fire heated the support structures causing it to expand, and then as the fires moved on, they cooled and contracted. It was the contraction that weakened the support structures causing the collapse.
Why don't you go spread your ignorance elsewhere?

Come on man, don't be unintelligent. If you do enough research you realize that the conspiracies really don't have much in the way of evidence. The fact of the matter is that conspiracies usually only involve a few people and something like 9/11 would have to involve so many people that there's no way it could ever have been pulled off without someone knowing about it and breaking the story.

It wasn't just the cold. At least in Napoleon's case it was mainly the lack of supplies. The Russians would burn anything useful as they retreated making it impossible for the invaders to find any sustenance from the land. (Foraging from the land was the main way that Napoleon's army fed itself)

Realistically, it's not like anybody ever actually looks at those pictures they have on file. It's all done by computers. So I guess the snapchat servers have probably seen quite a few nudes in their day.

I mean, not to offend any children on here or anything, but isn't it a bit of a stretch to say that he killed someone. He killed a deer.
Plus hunters are good for the forest. One could make the argument that he's not evil at all.

I looked at several creationist websites to see what their objections were to carbon dating, and I'll admit that they seemed sound at first, but then when I dug a little deeper I found the appropriate scientific response to every objection.
As for micro and macro evolution, I'm still not quite sure what your objection is. You have said that you acknowledge micro evolution, which is small changes in a species driven by many different factors over the course of one or two generations, but you don't see how those small changes can build up over time, which is macro evolution? Things like natural selection and genetic drift force species to change and over the course of the billions of years that life has been evolving on our planet, those forces and others have produced massive changes.

Actually I have done my research. And if you intend to somehow disprove carbon dating or something like that, you should take your bullshit elsewhere. Any objections raised by creationists to carbon dating have already been addressed by scientists. I think you'll find when you look a little further that any supposed chinks in the method of carbon dating presented by creationists really just result from them ignoring evidence. As for what you said about micro and macro evolution, I already know that both of those are, and I know that there's pretty solid evidence for both (Micro is pretty much proven since it can be observed in a single generation). I'm not really sure how you can believe in Micro evolution, but not acknowledge what it clearly leads to over time, which is macro evolution.

What about your reply? You said that his stance was no truer that yours presumably because of the lack of proof, I told you that, in fact, he doesn't need proof, you do. You have yet to provide it, and here we are.
I guess if you're referring to the part about you just wanting to believe whatever you want, I can leave you alone. I just thought you should know that the guest needs no proof for his stance, he only needs to point out your lack of it.

You guys who said that the guest doesn't have any proof, well, frankly, he doesn't need any. You guys are the ones making the positive argument, and you guys are the ones making the outlandish claim that there is some supreme being who oversees everything. If guest had to prove that there was no God, he would have to search through the entire universe just to make sure that God isn't hiding in some unseen part of it, and it is because of that that you guys are the ones who need to provide the evidence. You need to provide a reason for people to believe your claim, you can't just make a claim, assume it's right, and then demand others prove you wrong.

Alright I see what you're saying. Siting the accomplishments of others who hold the same belief in no way proves anything about that belief though. I'm not really sure how a real scientist could be a creationist anyway because it seems to me that they'd have to ignore so much evidence.

Alright. I guess, in that sense, there were walls made on every continent, but nothing that was quite like the Great Wall of China. It spans the entire northern boarder of what was the Han Chinese empire. Pretty crazy stuff.

Creationism is so ridicules. I have no respect for anyone who advocates for it.

Well the short answer is...no.
Plus the Berlin Wall had an entirely different purpose than the Great Wall of China.

I do have one question that was never answered. How is laughing at dark humor bad? Just explain it to me. As I see it, if you're going to call out people who laugh at dark humor because the subject of the jokes is terrible in real life, shouldn't you also be calling out people who like violent movies or violent video games? If you like violence in movies then obviously you're some kind of psychopath who enjoys murder and death in real life too, right? At least, that seems to be what you're saying.
Can you explain to me where my flaw in logic is?
I'm glad that you're a strong woman who survived sexual assault, but just because someone laughs at these jokes, doesn't mean that they want to personally rape you.

Not that it matters too much anyways. Some of the guest's posts were so ridicules that I nearly laughed. When they said that if you laugh at racist jokes that you automatically think that real world racism is funny too, I stopped taking him/her seriously at all. That's like saying that everyone who likes playing GTA also enjoys real world murder and theft; that's definitely not the case, and it's stupid to act like it is.
