Sometimes I just let things go. I hate even stepping into the 9/11 cesspit, and this is one of the reasons why

[mr blur]

1. Hell, what a minefield of ignorance and stupidity! (nt)

[trotsky]

2. There are magical, wondrous weapons...

that you and I cannot possibly begin to comprehend. But the truthers know about them. They are way schmarter than us.

[TZ]

3. Everytime there is an earthquake or volcano eruption

we are treated to a reminder that HAARP and Bush and the Pentagon caused them with superweapons. I seriously become embarrassed to be a liberal when I see the stuff posted from this source.

4. they are available at "sites"

that's all we need to know

[semillama]

5. Ah, yes.

you do come across some folks here at DU who have rather...peculiar...imaginations, don't you?

[realisticphish]

6. i guess

i've just never waded in before... the Lounge is crazy, but generally not literally crazy

[SemiCharmedQuark]

7. Never argue with someone that doesn't believe we landed on the moon.

[realisticphish]

8. ah, wasn't aware of that

I don't go head to head with wooists very often

[LeftishBrit]

11. Not to mention...

that doctors consider that chemo and radiation are unproven therapy and that there has been no improvement in the cure rate for cancer.

9. Well, I need the Brain-Bleach now...

Thanks, it was...entertaining. And you did great work in that...thing.

Not to mention that a nuclear blast would alert, oh, I dunno, every nation in the western hemisphere. BP's powerful, but not powerful enough to hide a nuclear explosion that close to American soil.

No kidding. Just last night I caught the "Seconds From Disaster" episode about Chernobyl - an accidental nuclear explosion that the Russians tried to hide.

Within a few hours, a U.S. satellite passing over the Ukraine had photos of a big...RED...GLOWING...radioactive blob.

That could have had serious repercussions, since US intelligence didn't know what to make of it. At first they thought the Russians had gone bonkers and had an accident while launching a nuclear weapon, probably at us.

A few more hours, and Swedish engineers at a nuclear plant couldn't get in to work - the radiation detectors at the front door kept going off, saying they were all contaminated.

One engineer looked for the source of contamination, and discovered it was on his shoes. Courtesy of the radioactive cloud passing over northern Europe.

But nobody would have ever known anything if Chernobyl had only been one of those Minimized nuclear plants...

:rofl:

10. what I really don't understand

is the idea of a super-miniature nuke. If it's small enough to not show up as a nuclear explosion, then why not use conventional explosives? Not to mention that I don't care how many magical shock absorbers there are, when you shake the ground, YOU SHAKE THE GROUND. Seismometers would certainly pick it up
