Just curious. What are these "victimless crimes" of which you speak?

It is people comparing him to truthers and returning the value of "no clue on 9/11".

strcmp(Alex Libman, 9/11 truther); result = no clue on 9/11, both true…

He is saying in the future computers will see the same due to logic and reasoning; we can just watch the 9/11 standard no fact truther beat soundly by computers.

... poor insult indicative of his poor research and faulty conclusions on 9/11?

Stupidity is coming here and thinking the people here who know 9/11 was executed by 19 theorists and know all of 9/11 truth to be false, are blindly follow the government story? You can't provide one piece of evidence to support your ideas on 9/11

No one here supports the government story because it is the government story! This is a skeptic forum! Your ideas are what we are skeptical about because they are not based on fact, or evidence. You wave your hands and proclaim BS about 9/11 issues, but you have nothing.

You have failed ideas on 9/11. You have no evidence to support your ideas. How can you be so good at talking about something you know nothing about? Why do you guys fall for empty rhetoric on real events? Are you the selective truther, no beam weapon, but some RDX, no holograms, but software programmed autopilots (you are not a pilot or an engineer, or you would have avoided this stupid idea), and what else?

I will post to your off topic post, I can translate it!

This post means! You would not understand a new investigation if one was done, and thus is the nth confirmation you have no clue about anything 9/11. At least your sig is correct even when you post nothing about the OP

So, no new investigation for Dictator Cheney (why the fetish for the VP?).

So, you would not understand a new investigation and prefer to remain in ignorance on 9/11, or do your own, albeit slapdash, research on 9/11?

I'm quoting a post l337m4n made in a nearly identical thread several months ago, simply because he said it soooooo well:

Originally Posted by 1337m4n View Post

It isn't that a new investigation would be a bad idea (it would, but that's not the point).

It isn't that a new investigation is a ridiculous demand (it is, but that's not the point).

It isn't that a new investigation shouldn't happen (it shouldn't, but that's not the point).



The point is that a new investigation won't happen. Ever. The Truth Movement is seen as a psychotic fringe group. As time goes on, its active membership has only shrunk. Nobody listened to them before. And you can sure as heck bet that with that wheelchair-beating incident (and the TM's response to it) that nobody's going to listen to them now.

Nobody, NOBODY wants a new investigation except for Truthers. And NOBODY except for a Truther gives a rat's behind about a Truther's opinion.

Even, for the sake of argument, let's say a new investigation would be a GOOD thing. Unfortunately, there's a difference between the way things ought to be and the way things are. And the way things are is that no "new investigation" is going to happen in your lifetime, in your children's lifetime, or in your grandchildren's lifetime.

That is why the OP asks: is there anything ELSE we can do for you, in the meantime, while you pray to whatever god you worship for a new investigation that will never happen no matter how much you pray? Anything ELSE at all? Something we can do for you that will satisfy your suspicions of US government involvement in 9/11?

Your new investigation is not going to happen. It's not that it shouldn't happen. It's that it won't happen. Sorry, but that's just the way things are.

I imagine that the leaders of the TM would react to a "new" investigation the same way the "Amalgamated Union of Philosophers, Sages, Luminaries and other Professional Thinking Persons" in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy reacted to the activation of "Deep Thought."

Cut quote to the insult to me.

Well, youngster, you've said nothing to indicate that you have any sense of humor. I figured you meant it literally -- that you thought Gandhi had actually said that. From other things you've said I figured that would match your level of knowledge.

I'm not sure I follow your logic here. Because the US government already wastes money, therefore, it should continue wasting money? Is that your argument?

What about the failure to get refunds for fully refundable airline tickets ($100 million between '97 and '03), or spending $100 million on a satellite that was never launched (and now $1 million/yr to store it)?
What about them? Why are you assuming I support these things? Why are you posting this in a subforum titled 9/11 Conspiracy Theories?

Quote:
Those are just older examples, but the point is, why not go for the low-hanging fruit before protesting murder investigations?

Why can't any of you just be honest about it: admit that you're happy with the current conclusion, and that's why you're opposed to any additional investigation.
The only one being dishonest is you, deep44. I have enlarged the text that gives you away as a liar.

What would you suggest I do to prevent the US Government from acting in the best long-term interests of the US and its citizens?
That's not the first time you've expressed that view, either. You were trying to convince us that you did not believe the government "murdered" anyone but none of us believed you. Now our skepticism is validated; you have just admitted that a New InvestigationTM into fantasy ideas like magic bombs and thermite would be a "murder investigation" (your words! Oops, you've been caught lying!)

How many people have you contacted, deep44? Have you contacted any demolitions experts? Have you contacted Protec? Have you contacted the Port Authority? Have you contacted the FDNY? Have you contacted anyone at all regarding your phony 9/11 "questions"? I put "questions" in quotation marks to show that it is phony; you do not actually have questions. You blame the government for murder, and despite all your efforts to conceal your beliefs you are now exposed. QED; congratulations deep44, you have just proven the thesis of my OP. Give yourself a good 'ol pat on the back.

Blaming the government for murder, how about that. "Protesting a murder investigation"? No, squibs are not murder. The murder investigation is finished, it determined that nineteen men murdered themselves along with three thousand innocent Americans. I never protested the murder investigation, you are the one protesting the muder investigation, by saying it needs to be done over and over again until it blames the people you want it to blame, the eeeevil Government.

My point exactly.

I don't care about the spending of tax money, I care about the spending of tax money for pointless things. Why don't we flush 300 million dollars down the toilet? It'll only cost the taxpayers one dollar each. It's a tiny fraction of our national debt. So why don't we do it! I think you Truthers would be better focused petitioning the government to flush 300 million dollars down the toilet.

It's not the money spent, it's the evidence to money spent ratio. Like Wildcat says. Or in this case, more like the stupid fantasy woo to money spent ratio.

Here's my other beef: You don't need a new investigation to answer these "questions". It's totally pointless. All you have to do is pick up the phone and contact some of the people I mentioned. Why do Truthers never contact anyone? That is what I want to know.

Let's drop the tax money issue for now. Let's focus on why Truthers won't contact the people who would know the answer to their questions. You want to know what happened to the steel? Well gee should we contact the people who handled the steel? Nah, we need a "New Investigation"!

What are your specific 9/11 questions? I will give you the names of some organizations you can contact for answers. Will you contact them if I do?

Late answer: strcmp is a programming idiom referring to a standard operation available in C, C++, and some other languages. It compares two strings - bits of text - and returns -1, 0, or 1, depending on whether the first is lexicallly less than, equal to, or greater than the second, respectively.

It's usually only used to compare for equality.
