Discovered this on the door of a CS professor's office

This is just depressing. Aren't professors supposed to have critical thinking skills?



In response to the poster: Yes I did, and no, the evidence probably won't.

sigh

truthers are terrible people

Some people just have blind spots - even otherwise intelligent people. Apparently, even 12 years later...
I guess time does not necessarily heal all wounds.

Scary thing is, the current college-age population is young enough that I wouldn't be surprised if some didn't know about building 7. That makes this pretty effective propaganda. Ugh.

[Ben Kenobi]

CS people aren't exactly known for their critical thinking skills. The only prof I ever had that was a racist doorknob was a CS prof.

Dontchaknow it was a false flag attack so that Bush could steal Iraqi oil and sell it to Haliburton

I don't see what's so wrong about suggesting the government blew up Building 7, after the terrorists took out the twin towers. Building 7 would have looked weird without the towers so it was a design thing I think.

[Wiglaf]

I mean it was literally called "Building 7." What is this bladerunner? Equilibrium? NYPD made the right choice taking it down while everyone was distracted.

The fact that Building 7 collapsed because of a fire inside? I have spoken with 9-11 truthers before - nothing pisses me off more than hearing, "no, Bush did it himself". Gawd.

I said the NYPD did it. Take the penises out of your ears.

Well, there were these economy professors who argued that deregulation of the investment banking sector was a good thing.
On checking their income tax statements a smart journalist found that more than 2/3rd of their annual pay came from said investment banking sector.

Lack of critical thinking skills seems to bother you only in certain cases.

[Ben Kenobi]

Are you asserting that CS profs in a university are mostly liberal?

[Elok]

Intelligence often comes together with eccentricity and/or blind spots.

Oh, Jrabbit already said that. Oh well.

[Alexander's Horse]

tear gas professors?

Yeah but Economics is a (somewhat) joke subject and CS isn't.
