Oh God ..... I'm Crusher

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Ooooof!
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Oh bollocks, he wasn't 'paid double' and he didn't 'win'.

He was paid $4.1 billion in an out of court settlement (not covering either full loss or rebuilding costs) after the insurance companies tried to pay $2.8 Billion, the limit imposed by a judge for a 'single' incident. Silverstein's company is still massively out of pocket.

Nickman had a Facebook post dealing with almost exactly this kind of graphic the other day.

I bought a new house for $500k and then torched it. The insurance company would only give me $100k for it, so I sued them and got $200k. I doubled my money! I'm a business genius!

Call a spade a spade here, Nickman. The context here is that he is a rich Jew, thus far more palatable to the conspiracy nuts.

Oh yes the Jewish aspect of 911, on the anniversary saw someone sarcasticly ask how many Jews died and said it was a coincidence, he never replied when I said 400-500 which coincidently was about the same percentage of Jews who worked there meaning Jews die as easily as anyone else.

Been a while since one of these sprung up.

Former CIA and commercial pilot John Lear has come forward and sworn an affidavit stating that the Twin Towers were not bought to the ground by planes crashing into them.

In his expert opinion the official version of events that claims two planes crashed into the towers is actually “physically impossible.”

With reports from the Kremlin this week that President Putin is ready to release satellite images proving that the Twin Towers were destroyed by “controlled demolition” rather than by the force of two planes, enormous strides towards disproving the official 9/11 Commission version are taking place.

The Russians releasing satellite images that prove a demolition is def a new one.

What is he trying to say, that the planes should have somehow bounced off the building and fallen to the ground.

One quick look at the video would seem to show this up as false.

I remember getting a tour of a friends house in chapman that was destroyed in the Canberra bushfires, all that remained was a concrete slab and a sludgy type material about 6 inches deep. Things like the fridge and washing machine simply vaporised in the heat.

This bloke has an opinion



Much the same argument exists for crashing into the building, the steel structure provides vertical rigidity but very little protection against shear.
