I haven't posted on DV for a long time but I still find it funny how many people actually take Possum the slightest bit serious, to the point where some will even get downright offended.... haha ridiculous....

Tiff- Gave you a plus to try and offset the ignorant negs (ignorance and fear are the only two reasons I can think of for giving a negative to your post, but then again history has proven organized religion to provide both of those things in droves). From one minority member to another, nice research.

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he already had 3 missed calls from Chuck Norris.....

Poking fun at conspiracy theorists who claim conjecture and heresay as undeniable truth; they say "here's what the experts say" or "here's what this one guy claims" but then disregard what many more experts and eye witnesses claim that opposes the conspiracy theory. Understandable that you wouldn't agree, most people don't find it entertaining when they're the one being made fun of.

Haha so are you suggesting that in order for a tower to collapse the steel needs to be fully melted? Ever consider the fact that steel, or really any material for that matter, does not need to melt in order for it to lose much of it's strength and structural integrity? Ask any firefighter or anyone that has seen a building with steel pillars post-collapse from a fire: You will see plenty of bent and twisted up steel, you will almost never see steel that has been melted. Case in point: the roughly 1100 degrees (rough estimate since jet fuel burns anywhere from 800 degrees to 1500 degrees) would be more than enough to weaken steel enough to collapse massive buildings like the WTC towers.

That is amazing... you should win.

Best post title ever

As for protecting you. I did my time in the military protecting YOU I now assume you are a big boy and can protect yourself. No longer my job. Would also appreciate a thank you for past protection. Better yet how about you join and protect me. Will not happen because you are a typical LEG Hmmm well the obvious arrogance can't really be misunderstood.... the disturbing factor is the suggestion that service was given in order to be able to solicit thank you's from all the "lesser beings" out there....

Appreciate your posts easy, despite what some of these clowns might say... nothing wrong with passing along information, but it does show a definite lack of intelligence when people take out their own misguided frustrations on you for doing it; keep doing what you do man.

I agree with you on that one keep! It looks (at least to me) like both randalln and poseidon are offering great examples of what is wrong with both schools of thought here on DV. It's irresponsible to make claims on this kind of site without something substantial to back it up. I'm not going to say that evidence for a lop isn't out there for all to see, but I have to question the motives of someone who comes on and seems antagonistic from the first post without giving any tangible food for thought. At the same time, any joe shmo can come on here and say his mothers husbands brothers nephew holds blah blah blah position at the CBI and he has proof of an RV, we've seen it so many times it's not even funny. It's all becoming very childish it seems. + for you Legolas, that's what I'm talking about!

See this is what I mean. It's people like Poseidon that are giving rational, well spoken, respectful people like Jim1cor13 a bad name.

Great post, gotta say I agree with pretty much the whole thing. One perspective I would put out there, and I think is a possible reason why those more "realistic" sounding posts are seen as negative, is sometimes the way in which the message is delivered. For example, when someone is being condescending about it, or when they jump on simply to say something like "not gonna happen!" or something pointless like "nuff said" (though I have to admit half the time I'm not even sure what someone means when they say that) without giving reasons or facts. In a way I think there are sort of two camps on the "realistic" side of the fence; the ones who do their research and present their opinion in an adult and informed manner, and those who seem to just like stirring the pot or feel the need to convey their message in a pretentious, sometimes even rude manner. It's a shame because one side is presenting a well thought out perspective while the other... well sometimes it's hard to really even define the intent of that side of the coin. The unfortunate part is I think people sometimes lump the two together which is neither fair nor accurate. Do I hold out hope for an RV? Yes. Am I humble enough to realize and admit when I'm dealing with things that are beyond my current knowledge and research? Yes. Can I therefore accept the fact that RV is only one possibility and things could just as easily take a completely different road? Absolutely, but that's why I made sure to NOT spend a painful amount on this so that I can hold onto my hope, yet not be crushed if it doesn't go my way. Either way, great post Jim1cor13, thanks for bringing it out Legolas.

Got mine almost the same, from old school counterstrike from years back though.... Mr. Miyagi, wax on wax off, methodical, purposeful, tricky, strategic, zen, that whole thing.... that and I am an advocate for making the mantis kick an in-game manuever on first person shooters
