You are so cryptic, BCS.

Thank you for your reasoned response, Argus.

It's not surprising. However we should try to present this in as neutral, as scientific, as honest a manner as we can. Has all pertinent information been provided?

"If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for those we despise, we don’t believe in it at all." - Noam Chomsky Isn't this something we should all take to heart?

You go scientific, then you fall back, describing something by Goddess, without any proof. When one does that, it illustrates a disavowal of the scientific method, but this thread is for something else. Start a thread on your topic and we'll go at it, like the scientist I know is buried somewhere in you, I hope not too deep as to be unretrievable.

Now we are getting somewhere, Goddess. I thank you for being honest enough to admit that you were just being silly. That you are of course, completely open to all discussion in the fashion and manner that you learned at university. I applaud you.

The bible teaches those same things. That would mean that evangelicals, presbyterians, episcopelians, mormons, catholics, lutherans, mennonites, ... all believe the same things - that entire races of people should die. And they have been acting on it, vociferously, for well over a century.

You put forward points that you simply ask us to believe because you are Goddess. Are you acting in an adult manner? Are you acting in the fashion that you went to university to learn.

Okay, we'll go with "artistic". However, I must take exception to your, what appears to be a faulty conclusion, "Actually, I think it was."

Couldn't that have been attained by discussing this with the reasonable moderators at MLW? In a thread such as this one.

.Don't you think that an academic approach, a scientific approach, would bring forward a full quote, with a source showing time and date? All Israeli children are required to serve in the Israeli military and there are many Israelis, soldiers and citizens, who tell of the many war crimes of that same military. It seems that this is certainly another one of those issues that should see discussion.

And as I mentioned, childish. "I made it my goal to put him on top, but I've had a lot of help."

That too, is unscientific, completely foreign to western principles of honesty and openness. Why does this seem to be a guiding principle for so many of you who like to brag about how honest and open we western nations are?

The "reputation" system is highly misleading, completely unscientific. It serves no useful purpose. Because, have I mentioned, it is unscientific? I have wildly jumped, a number of times, from high positives to low teen negatives to high positives. It is a system equivalent to young teens' junior high school ratings.

Did you address the quote I gave, the one that describes just what a sham western "democracy" is, what a gigantic propaganda spiel it is? That is from 1880. "John Swinton, preeminent New York journalist, at a press banquet,1880"

"Dude" - that says a lot, Goddess. She is sixteen, she is mercilessly attacked, she has a negative rating of what? ... How many of those are you responsible for? And to accuse Altai of what you accuse her of in your second sentence is really hypocritical, is it not? Considering what you yourself know.

This website, MLW, was started with grants from a Canadian university, was it not? Its guidelines states: "Mapleleafweb operates these forums in the hopes that they will promote intelligent, honest and responsible discussion. We encourage you to speak your mind on relevant issues in a thoughtful way." That would seem to me that it would operate in a fashion that represents, respects, mirrors academic discussion. That means a scientific approach, one that follows the tenets of science. Is this not a logical and reasonable approach? One that we all should/would want to see. The first guiding principle means, to me at least, that one addresses any science put forward in a scientific fashion. That has not been the case in many threads here. [Full disclosure: I will be the first to admit that I have not always rigorously followed the wisdom found in this guideline.] Can't we all do better?

Again, a 16 year old young lady, starts a thread that asks pointed, highly pertinent questions, and what does it receive - stone cold silence. This doesn't say a lot about the caliber of, you know who. "let's just let this thread die"; "let's try to bury it with more new threads". She describes most western "democracies" very well, very accurately. As does this gentleman.

Here are more scientific authorities, describing the nanothermite, with pictures for the adults, video for the adults, of unreacted particles found in WTC dust, which when heated undergo a thermitic reaction, giving the same chemical signature as thermite, but as you already know, from the Lawrence Livermore scientists, this is nanothermite. You only have to watch a minute or so to see the undeniable which you are falling all over yourself to deny. WHY? 9-11: Military nano thermite unknown to the general public found in the dust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA-AqM7JNuo

This has been put squarely in front of you, in front of Michael, in front of all the science deniers, before. You all DEFINITELY know of its existence. Why are you still irrationally, unbelievably, denying the existence of nanothermite when it is described by US scientists, US scientists from Lawrence Livermore Labs? Why haven't these honest US scientists stepped forward to confirm the science described by the Harrit, Jones et al scientific paper describing the nanothermite and the voluminous, some 6% of WTC dust, residues of thermitic reactions, of these nanothermite reactions. The only logical conclusion a body with a brain, a thinking adult can draw is that these nanothermites were responsible for the explosive demoltions of WTCs 1, 2 and 7. But still there is stone cold silence from you adults, while a young lady points up your not at all responsible adult like behavior.

You insult yourself, B_C. Badly, repeatedly, advancing falsehoods you know are falsehoods. That says much about you. Do you think it says anything good? With all the science that has been put forward, all you can muster is childish, silly comments. You insult the memory of all the millions that have been murdered, including roughly the 3,000 of your own. Operation Northwoods illustrates clearly that the US has the capacity and will to murder its own children. Operation Northwoods has come to pass. Where have all the honest people gone?

All the "adults" flee the topic when science is put forward and a 16 year old young lady describes all their mendacious ways to a T. She points out their illogic, beautifully, and incisively, and all they can do is vote her down. Just how childish is that?

Certainly it can't match US war crimes or US terrorism, or US voodoo economics, or US racism, or US murder of children or US slaughter of innocents or even the US's history of being at war for 90+% of its years as a "country". No country can ever match that kind of record because no country could ever become so conceited and arrogant, no country could develop a propaganda system like the US's, which feeds this vicious cycle of arrogance, greed, conceit, ... . That's why Canada, no country should support the US's evil military deeds.

Canada is the seventh largest arms exporter in the world, with lots going to the U.S. war machine. ------------- Canada and all the others combined don't match the biggest band of war criminals the world has ever seen, the US of A.

This is how blatantly old man Bush lied when he was a younger man. Bush padre about voodoo economics https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=26&v=X2UAuFArbOY
