As I’ve remarked in other **Stringbean** threads, he has absolutely zero interest in denouncing or combating the individuals and specific ideologies that are actually **responsible** for acts of terror. The only thing he cares about is figuring out some distorted way to try to blame them on liberals. ---

String theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. Stringbean theory is a theoretical framework in which talking points of mass tragedies are replaced with one-dimensional railings against gun control. ---

The idea that an object falls through the path of greatest resistance, at nearly the same speed it would otherwise fall if there were no resistance, is a head-scratcher. Where did that resistance go, and how did it manage to dissipate in a uniform manner, allowing the towers to fall straight down rather than off to one side? > > Of course, the long, convoluted explanations given by NIST may well be accurate, but less logical a premise than the simplest answer: resistance being blown out uniformly in a highly-controlled demolition. ---

The gun nuts on this Board are _so_ stupid and _so_ obnoxious that I’ve finally realized what most of you figured out long ago: _The gun nuts here are actually gun-control fiends running a false flag operation._ Any undecided citizen who reads these threads will go away convinced that American gun nuts are jackasses of a different color. Well done, \_\_o\_\_s! (\*) (\* are we allowed to use the T word in the Pit?) ---

That would work. 😉 Hey, then we could upgrade it to all immigrants and add in African Americans (they’re all thugs too) and then tie it up with voter ID requirements, and we got ourselves an ALEC proposal. ---

Stringbean theory is a theoretical framework in which talking points of mass tragedies are replaced with one-dimensional railings against gun control. String theory is so complex, only a handful of mathematicians can comprehend it. Stringbean theory is so simple – and simplistic – that even a total moron can propose it. String theory is elegant and beautiful, filled with “fearful symmetries.” Stringbean theory is uglier than a dogshit-vomit sundae. ---

I’m glad you started this in the Pit, **Stringbean** …so I can finally say what a huge fucking dumbass you are and have always been and always will be…that is, on the times you’re not being a huge fucking asshole douche. Asshole douche half the time, dumbass the other half. Either way, the word ass suits you well. This whole thread is just more proof of your dumbass douchbaggery, which is quite a feat to combine the two. I might actually consider saying you had half a brain to pull it off, but it might be too much credit. ---

The most pathetic trolls will see their moronic tasteless threads ignored for days, and then will desperately try to keep them alive with new and even more inane drivel, in this case just to get more abuse hurled his way, his purpose in life it seems. Oh well, I didn’t notice this thread before, so I’ll just add my observation that the OP is an asshole.
