Proof that the members on this site are shallow minded scum.
Here we are on VE Day and not one of the regular filth on this site has mentioned the debt we all owe to those who give their lives in the fight to defeat the evil of Nazi Germany.
Instead you scumbags go over 'the same old-same old' mindless gobbledegook such as '' proof that Bronto is crazy'', ''Trump is an orange fuck'' and all the repetitive juvenile rubbish and name calling.
Personally I observed the two minuet silence with tears welling up in my eyes at the thought of those heroes who were slaughtered and mutilated on the beaches of Normandy and beyond so we could have the freedom we're all now enjoying.
I salute those brave men and woman of yesterday just as I spit in the face of the ungrateful scumbags, who are well represented on this site, and who take the privilege of their freedom for grated.
Be advised FILTH, your only here spewing out your school boy claptrap courtesy of the fighting men and women of WW2.
I can't say I spilled any blood, but, how many of you can say that you did what you COULD in WW2??
I can at least say I did. What?.........you ask? Well, not much. But I DID gather burlap bags full of milkweed pods for the Army. Ya'see, the Army was the Air Force back then. Japan had all the silk, nylon wasn't invented 'til late in the war and milkweed pod fibers were used to make parachutes stronger. I also bought War Bonds at school (a dime a week, that was about a dollar today :-). I also rolled my families cigarettes with my cigarette machine (things were different back then), cause the REAL ones went to the soldiers. I remember the ration stamps, the headlights painted black on top, the Air Raid Wardens knocking on the door to say there was too much light showing around one window or other, maybe we'd forgotten to turn our porch light off. Another of my "jobs" was to break the little red ball in the bag of lard and kneed it until the margerine turned yellow ... fun ... no video games then!
Nah. I didn't spill any blood, but, two of my uncles who's wives I lived with were wounded, one was missing in action ... couple of banners with red and gold stars designating their conditions hanging in the window. Those weren't "the good ol' days", but we all did what we could ... even me. (FYI)

It is great to hear this stuff from someone who was actually there. Very interesting post.
Actually my point was not to be critical in any way whatsoever to those who did not take part in the conquest of Nazism but, on this V E Day the lack of recognition and regard for those who did.
I didn't take you as being critical of REAL Americans. Just the ones who don't even seem to LIKE What America ACTUALLY is. Trump's America is destroying what we fought for, destroying faith IN government, destroying all that's gone on before, and THEY call it ...."patriotism".
The Gadsden Flag WAS a patriotic flag, back in the day. Today, it's being used along side a decidedly UN-patriotic flag, the Confederate Battle Flag, to "symbolize" patriotism .... against the United States. Not because the wavers think they are un-patriotic, but because they ARE ACTUALLY "shallow minded scum"! :-(
You've explained your position very clearly and persuasively as well as mentioning a number of factors of which I was unaware.
You know, without trying to insult your intelligence by patronising you I feel that you have displayed how, through the power of reasoned debate, deeply held opinions can be altered.
I'm now beginning to see the reason why so many Americans are opposed to President trump.
Maybe the U.S., is in need of a change of political direction and a new President who can weld the nation together to push against the range of frightening challenges facing us all at this time.
I'll be watching out for, and taking heed of your posts in future.
Just for you stupid and ask someone to change your diaper
Blinded by Hate is who the Left is.
Now do something or STFU !

Are you still confused about the physics of high rise buildings?
I can explain to you, if you like, why a fire 93 floors up can't weaken the resistance in the bottom 93 floors. It has to do with the direction that heat travels through the air.
I think it's certainly going to fall on deaf ears though. What's the saying? You can lead a horse to water...
Do you still not understand how progressive collapse happens?
I told you. Deaf ears. Since you're a clueless moron with an ego the size of a small shopping mall, instead of opening your mind to the possibility you might be wrong, you inevitably scramble to find a form of authority you can appeal to. And the irony is when these forms of authority contradict you but you use them anyway, like the excerpt you cut and pasted just days ago from the NIST Faq:-
NIST's findings do not support the “pancake theory” of collapse, which is premised on a progressive failure of the floor systems in the WTC
So you posted that excerpt a few days ago, and now you are back arguing the precise opposite to what it says. One has to ask the question: is that because you're a fucking idiot?
"Instead, the NIST investigation showed conclusively that the failure of the inwardly bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse and that the occurrence of this inward bowing required the sagging floors to remain connected to the columns and pull the columns inwards. Thus, the floors did not fail progressively to cause a pancaking phenomenon."
The column failed instead of the flooring.
The fact that your claim that "a fire 93 floors up can't weaken the resistance in the bottom 93 floors" can fail in multiple ways doesn't somehow make it true.
No, how about YOU read the next sentence you narcissistic halfwit:-
Thus, the floors did not fail progressively
So why are you posting Wiki articles about progressive collapse? I'll tell you why, shall I? It's because you're an annoying, argumentative idiot who thinks having a big mouth is a quality substitute for subject knowledge.
The only evidence I need to tell me something is wrong is Professor Barnett's metallurgy report for FEMA. That's all I need:-
Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure.
The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of samples 1 and 2 are a very unusual event. No clear explanation for the source of the sulfur has been identified.
See if you can find anything in the NIST report about where the sulfur came from which contaminated Barnett's steel samples you thicko. I'm sure they have a great explanation for that one, and it is likely to be equally false as everything else they've ever said about 9/11.
That paper has been out in the open and publicly available for 11 years. 11 years!!!!!! And just because of the incredibly sensitive political ramifications of the study it has been rigorously peer-reviewed.
Contradictorily, nobody has ever peer-reviewed the trash written in the NIST report, the Popular Mechanics consumer magazine or the 9/11 Commission.
And do you know why?
Because it isn't fucking science!!!!! That's why!!!!!
"sulfur is present in the gypsum wallboard used for interior partitions"
Ahahahahahaha!
Materials science professors Ronald R. Biederman and Richard D. Sisson Jr. confirmed the presence of eutectic formations by examining steel samples under optical and scanning electron microscopes. A preliminary report was published in JOM, the journal of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society. A more detailed analysis comprises Appendix C of the FEMA report. The New York Times called these findings "perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation."
From the Worcester Polytechnic Institute article published following inspection of the steel samples by their professors:-
A one-inch column has been reduced to half-inch thickness. Its edges--which are curled like a paper scroll--have been thinned to almost razor sharpness. Gaping holes--some larger than a silver dollar--let light shine through a formerly solid steel flange. This Swiss cheese appearance shocked all of the fire-wise professors, who expected to see distortion and bending--but not holes. (article has since been archived, from Spring Journal, 2002)
So what does NIST say about the "Swiss cheese appearance" of the samples? No wait, let me guess you stupid, stupid woman. Pressure at one end released the bolts from the wall and they all flew out and punched holes in the samples analysed by the "fire-wise professors", right?
LOL. You're such an idiot. It's incredible how stupid you are, and I mean that actually as a form of flattery. Like a young kid who just wants a lollipop.
It says sulfurization can use the sulfur in drywall.
You are literally stupid if you are trying to convince me that a professionally qualified professor of metallurgy working for FEMA confused a "very unusual severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel" with fucking drywall. Are you even listening to yourself you retard?
Are you familiar with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous character, Sherlock Holmes?
He had a few various quips and well-used phrases, but one of the best in my humble opinion was:-
When you eliminate the impossible, then whatever is left, however remarkable, must therefore be true.
He was of course referring to solving crime, which I suppose is very pertinent, but he was also describing the scientific method, which is the process of gathering data and eliminating possibilities from examining that data. Hence, when three buildings (one of which was not even struck by an aircraft) collapse symmetrically in the same afternoon, in a manner completely consistent with controlled demolition, and nobody runs forensic checks for explosive and/or incendiary residues, then that isn't science. That's something else. And if anybody tells you it's science they are either lying to you or they are too ignorant to know the difference.
Claims about how the official story is improbable doesn't then make it impossible - though, as we know, language isn't your forte, nor is math, or science, etc.
Not improbable. Learn to read English you daft cow. Impossible and improbable are two different words. Something which is unlikely is improbable. Something which contradicts the laws of physics is impossible. Have I put that in terms simple enough for you to understand, or would you perhaps like me to translate it into Chinese given your apparent struggles with English?
You've given nothing that "contradicts the laws of physics"
Oh yes I have. You're just pig ignorant and don't understand basic Newtonian mechanics. That isn't my fault. Just for starters, the WTC buildings were each lined with a perimeter of 47 core steel supports, which means a symmetrical collapse could only begin with the simultaneous failure of all 47 of them.
You're a pig ignorant idiot who is out of her depth, completely closed minded to anything she doesn't want to believe, and you are scrambling to find forms of authority you can appeal to without having the basic common sense to realise I am the form of authority you should be appealing to. I am a trained, fully qualified journalist and have researched this in my spare time for the last 15 years.
So you can go jump off a mountain for all I care. You're wrong and if you're too proud to see it then more fool you.
Oh, the pure irony of that statement after I just wrote "impossible" and you read "improbable". Are you mentally ill? That's a genuine question. Have you been diagnosed with any form of mental illness?
Both of my parents were WW2 Veterans. Both of them were life long liberal democrats as I am.
My father died in 1993 but I can assure you he would despise what Trump has done to the country he deeply loved. My mother died more recently and she would have been even more disgusted than my dad.
Both of them were WW2 vets, both life long liberals. Nobody ever gave them a nickel, they worked for every penny.
They were true patriots, unlike red hat wearing flag waving phony's like you.
The bigoted and restricted intellect of the regular low lives on this site is graphically illustrated by the absence of even one word of gratitude being expressed for the courageous armed forces of the American led allies who sacrificed so much so that future generations, (that's US) could know and experience the happiness of liberty.
That is hilarious. You salute the brave men and women in one...maaaaybe two sentences, then spend an entire paragraph acting EXACTLY like the shallow minded scum you are accusing everyone else of being.
Here we are on VE Day and not one of the regular filth on this site has mentioned the debt we all owe to those who give their lives in the fight to defeat the evil of Nazi Germany
Hello white fuck:
Ohhhh??? Where did you serve?? I spilled my blood on the battlefield for the RIGHT to call the orange fuck and orange fuck..
Ohhhh??? Where did you serve?? I spilled my blood on the battlefield for the RIGHT to call the orange fuck and orange fuck..
You're welcome..
Cool. While spilling said blood, were you imagining fighting for the right for Presidents and intelligence agencies to become police state, America hating, military personel destroying Communist stains on humanity who would throw salon owners in jail while letting rapists, murderers and thieves out of prison? Do tell.
Sounds like another if you don't condemn it, you support it post.. Dude! That dog won't hunt..
Nah. I simply hold the left to its own standards, and the left doesn't like being held to their standards. But who would...
In case you missed it, I hereby condemn any bad shit anybody ever did.. Happy now? Now, can we get off this stupid crap???
Cool. The FBI and their leftist overlords did a lot of shit progressives would have burned down cities over if it'd been righty overlords. Good of you to acknowledge that they are draconian, psychopathic pieces of shit who want to lock you down regardless of stats, science, or real life...
But look on the bright side Con. These control freak clowns at least gave you a candidate for President who can finish a sentence and not sniff kids on tape...
Ahahaha! Bronto, ignoring everything bad the right ever does is not the same thing as holding the left to its own standards. You respond to every solitary criticism by attacking Democrats, and usually with lies.
Dude! We've never met, yet you seem to know a lot about me.. I say I'm a Jew - you call me a liar.. I say I'm a vet - you call me a liar.. I say I'm a lib - you call me a liar. I say DNA is science - you say time travel is real.
Dude! WHO between us, is the one who's full of shit???
Make a note to yourself. When somebody criticises you for being full of shit, it does not mean that they hate you.
Dude! We've never met
So we've never met, yet you are able to conclude that I hate you, and I am unable to conclude you are full of shit without hating you. Do you even read back the idiotic, self-contradictory trash that you type?
I don't hate you. I'm just pointing out that you're full of shit. You're a valor thief. Understand?
You've been a member of this site for 23 days, you shallow minded scum! So..., are you consumed or blinded by hate ;)
BTW, I am grateful for the courageous armed forces of the American led allies who sacrificed so much so that future generations, could know and experience the happiness of liberty.
As the dummies continue casting insults at each other and personalising the political standpoints of the dwindling number of other participants, they fail to recognise that their repertoire for discussion has shrunk into a narrow corridor of prejudiced, foul mouthed petty drivel.

You've spent the last two weeks attacking China to deflect attention away from the spectacularly slow and poor reaction Donald Trump made to the coronavirus threat. Were one to look up the word hypocrisy in a dictionary, I have little doubt whose stupid grinning face they would be greeted by.
