Ah. So it’s basically “why don’t they make the whole plane out of the same material they make the black box”, only with added antisemitism.

I refuse to engage until the moon-landing hoax is addressed.

I knew someone who believed that the moon landing was fake _and_ that we had secret bases on the moon.

Just to note that the only actual question you’ve asked is the one in the thread title, and that has been answered several times. Everything else you’ve posted has been unsupported assertions and bizarre non-sequiturs that have not followed from what anyone else has written.

If there’s another question (or more than one) you’d genuinely like us to answer, please post it. If you’d rather just have the debate within the confines of your own head, where it currently appears to reside, then we don’t really need this thread.

Is your argument that ovens and skyscrapers share the same structural engineering?

There, I answered a question, so I’m not…whatever bizarre blend of projection the dribbling troll who started this mess is claiming. 😃

The secret bases were created for soundstages to film the fake landings. You can blame Kubrick’s insatiable demand for realism.

“So you say the WTC came down with temperatures of no more than 1000 deg C? Then you must be a Holocaust denier!”

It’s all a Trumpian level “Gotcha!” and Godwin rolled into one. You don’t have to follow the non-existent logic on display, just agree with the conclusions.

Didja get your BetoBonus? Or are those only given out in Texas?

How about this?

[http://unitconverter.io/degrees-fahrenheit/degrees-celsius/1832](http://unitconverter.io/degrees-fahrenheit/degrees-celsius/1832)

1000C = 1832F  
What’s more likely, that the Holocaust and/or 9/11 were big fakes, or one guy writing a book screwed up his units?

Go on, surprise me with your answer.

I’d like to be the first to respond to your post by saying that I cut back on the lunatics by not arguing with people I have on ignore.

You’ve got a fair bit of spare time on your hands and you like arguing with people whose politics you disagree with, but that would indicate a bored retiree rather than a lunatic.

Enough with the lunacy. We provide a wide latitude for all sorts of discussion, but this is mostly gibberish.
