    A great work of art is one that is interpreted in completely different ways by different people. Read words of this board in the same way as you see a different facet each time you look at a diamond. And always remember, jlprk is the best unknown writer in the universe.

    Deconstructionism makes great works out of all art; once context and intent are removed from the equation, one is finally free to enjoy or even glorify any piece.

    Personally I'm conflicted about deconstructionism; intent is important, as is context, but it is useful to divorce a reading from them for additional, metaphorical purposes.

    Upon revisiting each positive facet of each player, you have convinced me of tonight's glory. I now believe that we won this jewel-like game.

    Without the context of the first half, it should be easy to enjoy our second half victory (49-35).

    That's because it can't. Jet fuel burns at 1500 degrees. Steel melts at over 2,700 degrees.

    I put it in title caps because that brings with it the lack of knowledge about pressure, softening versus melting, or weak points in construction to form The Conspiracy Theory that it was An Inside Job.

    Regardless of what people think about 9 11 the fact of the matter is molten steel was found. The burning of Jet fuel simply cannot cause molten steel.

    You are arguing too literally. I got him to get symbolic and poetic and you're bringing him back to talking straight-line.

    This team is so much like the Z-Bo era Blazers.

    They're hard to watch. Stotts is all about cutters and shooters - amd he's doing this with ZERO post presence.

    As the Charlotte-play-by play guy said during the game about McCollum, LeHigh teams used to be called the Engineers, but changed their name to the Mountain Hawks. He preferred the Engineers, and so do I.

    WTC building 7.
    Not hit by plane, somewhat damaged to one side = Almost Free-fall collapse, perfectly into it's own footprint.
    Not suspicious at all.

    Think of a pressure cooker. Gravity is really good at increasing pressure.

    Believe the government much? It amazes me how most people don't trust the government at all but trust the government when they tell us that bullshit lie. Steel literally melted and LOTS of it was found at ground zero at the base of the towers where the steel beams connected to the ground. Well after the towers imploded. If it were jet fuel (no way it could be), why did building 7 fall? It was hit by no plane and not a drop of jet fuel touched it...

    Sorry for derailing the thread but sometimes I just can't let shit go. It's a character flaw I know. I'm working on it.
