Thread Name: BS: 17th Anniversary of Murrah Bldg. Bombing
Subject: RE: BS: 17th Anniversary of Murrah Bldg. Bombing
Leeneia, what he realizes is that he gets attention when he starts nonsense threads that promote outlandish conspiracy theories. It isn't about the Murrah Federal Building bombing, it is about the kind of arguments that will be generated by throwing in a bunch of iffy citations from Yahoo searches.
I stand by my earlier statement.
Conspiracy Test - columns in Murrah Building. The stairwells and elevator core provided a lot of strength and protection for some columns that were closer to the blast. "General Parton remains unconvinced." His statement: "You can rationalize anything you want to."
The man is a fool. Is his first name "General?" Just because he expresses personal incredulity regarding the explosion, that doesn't mean that what experts say has occurred didn't happen. It means he is out there in public protesting that because he can't understand what they're saying it must not be true. It must be embarrassing for his friends and family that he is so stubbornly dense. And the same goes for Songwronger. Your (logical fallacy is called "personal incredulity"), if you can't understand, that doesn't make it not so. (Great little site for spelling these out quickly and concisely).
