Why Bridges Fail

If you were interested in learning and discovering things for yourself you would know. I haven't read the book yet but I plan on reading it because I'm not a prejudiced fundamentalist like you are.

If you would like to talk about expansion tectonics in general which clearly you don't then we can talk about Samuel Warren Carey's book The Expanding Earth which is probably one of the most sourced tectonics books in world history.

OIM, do you have a job? I honestly wonder how people like you survive in day to day society since you're obviously too insane to get any job which requires logical thought.

That's the most scientific argument for subduction, plate tectonics, and constant size earth I've ever seen in my life.

Here is the most rigorous and logical argument for pt I had seen prior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDjWdGZB3No

How scientific of you. If I was a religious fundamentalist I would be afraid to debate using observation and logic too.

 

I am making no attempt here to defend those mainstream views, I've done so elsewhere. I am honestly wondering if you have a job. You can PM me the answer if you don't want people to know or it to taint the discussion, I just can't think of a way you could hold the many wacko views you have and function in a company whose employees are expected to be coherent.

 

Yes I have a job. Do you have a brain cell?

 

Cutting edge come back.
OIM, you are the Master!!

So far no one has offered an explanation.

 

So why do bridges and dams that aren't located near continental margins or plate boundaries fail?

 

And what of the ones that collapse for other reasons?

 

Which other ones did you have in mind?

 

He just told you about why the Tacoma Narrows bridge and why it failed. There's an excellent film of the event that shows it blowing and waving like a ribbon in the wind - which is exactly what it was.

 

Can you read?

And what of the ones that collapsed for other reasons?

:crazy:

 

Sure I can - I was responding to this exchange:

And what of the ones that collapse for other reasons?"

Where you had ONLY quoted those two reasons.


Can YOU not read and carry on a full discussion? You are always limiting yourself to addressing a single point or two when quite often more have been raised than that. In fact, your normal - and VERY dishonest - mode is to selectively ignore things that you cannot address from your extremely limited knowledge base.

 

Can you read? I asked which examples, specifically, did you have in mind?

Furthermore, you're quick to complain about the "ad hominem" but more than willing to engage in such yourself. You don't get it both ways, bub. In case you didn't know it, the little "crazy" smiley above is an ad hominem remark symbol, so what you're saying is this is not going to be a whiny, pissy complaint from you going forward. Good.
