Saw that - in a physics class no less!
 
I had no idea our resident conspiracy theorist was a physics teacher!

They peddle their goods like all middlemen have during the ages.  They run away, though, when you call them out on national topics like "diversity" and "immigration".  Do you notice that?  Keep that in mind when you are listening to any conspiracy theorist.  They may be appealing because there is commonality, but one is also right in questioning their own motives.

While I would agree with that fact that the high school classroom is not the place for the subject to be discussed, there is more to the towers falling than an airplane hitting the building. Besides being the first and only time a steel structure has "failed" in the entire world, there is a case of displaced materials coming from the buildings as they fall which defies physics if no explosives were used. There's also the pyroclastic cloud from intense heat far greater than jet fuel would burn that could only come from explosives not to mention the fuel would have burned off in the first 6 minutes. The fact that there are vids online of thermite being used on the corners of the steel structure.  The building design itself has 3 crumple zones that would have held in place if part of the building fell just accidently didn't work even though all structural engineers agree that it should have. Yeah, all of this musta just happened naturally while physics took the day off. And if the buildings were hit only with airplanes, why was the second subfloor basement mechanical room destroyed and the fire department couldn't get into it? Them musta been some kinda planes to cause the damage in the basement.

IronGlow---I really don't want to comment on this particular subject, but to keep it somewhat on thread, did you read on the bottom of the same page about the Girl Scout that sold 117 boxes of cookies in 2 hour outside a pot store. it's hilarious and really smacks of a good business practice.

   Let's check with Merriam-Webster on the word "diverse":
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
      DIVERSE
 
1)   differing from one another :  unlike <people with diverse interests>

 2)  composed of distinct or unlike elements or qualities <a diverse population>
...

  What is the opposite of "diversity".. well, it is "unity"
 
   While we might appreciate "diversity" in a box of chocolates.. At a time when people should be bonding together, certain rabble rousers are doing their &%#*@ to divide neighbors  Surely, when we are speaking of our national culture we really want "unity",  instread of diversity.  That is one reason our country is named the "United" States..

  Immigration..  Where has anyone here said they are against immigration.  We are basically a nation of immigrants and have set up a means whereby immigrants can gain their citizenship.  This process is as old as our nation itself..I don't have any complaints over immigrants, so long as they do it in the correct manner and don't "jump the line" ahead of somebody who has obeyed the rules for years.

  I have no problems with other drivers, so long as they are tested, licensed and obey the rules of traffic and courtesy".

  I have no problems with other people's pit bulls, so long as they don't come into my yard.

 ...And I have no problems with other hunters, so long as they are courteous , obey the laws and have their license..

  Now do you get the idea?

We are a supposed to be a nation of assimilating immigrants.  You got that?  That's how every immigration law was debated.  Both sides, for and against, agreed that assimilation was a prerequisite.  But to the contrary, we see today in actuality many groups who don't assimilate.  So, based on how our current immigration laws were established, that the main requirement was that the groups assimilate, and we see that many don't, then it seems fair to demand based on precedent that adjustments need to be made.   Right? 

If you say "wrong", then you are definitely a liberal.  Quit fooling everybody. 

[ironglow]

  Yes; we are supposed to assimilate legal immigrants..problem is, many immigrants refuse to assimilate.  Curiously, the legal immigrants seem to be the ones willing to assimilate, while the illegals rarely even try.

  As for being a Liberal, it is a hallmark of liberalism to welcome in all immigrants, illegal or not!   Surely you wouldn't espouse that liberal tactic, would you ?


  BTW: It is the duty of the immigrant to assimilate...we cannot assimilate for them.  We cannot learn the language and customs for them.

Most legal immigrants don't assimilate.  They remain collectivist and form their own lobby groups.  I can think of a few offhand.      

[ironglow]

  So, we are on the same page then ?

[BBF]

A large part of the "not assimilating" situation is that you bring in to many at one time and let them concentrate in one area of the country.

<<<<<<< immigrant who has assimilated! and happy I have done so.

  Way to go SharonAnne !!
