But isn't is a possibility, or something else that you'll repeat ad nauseam.

Isn't is a possiblil- what? I don't think I get your grammar.

Well thanks for admitting that yes, you have literally no idea what's happened in Beirut.

You have no evidence to suggest that was a possible cause, so it shouldn't even be considered.

There is nothing even suggesting your idea happened. It is absurd and can be very easily dismissed.

1. Yes it should, we should look into each and every possibility.
2. Then why haven't you done it yet? :lol:

1. Nope. Doing that is just wasting time.

2. Your idea has been shown to be very dubious at best. Your just unwilling to admit it.

No we shouldn't, because we'd be looking into an infinite number of possible permutations in terms of causes, which is a waste of time. We proceed from what is reasonable and what we have evidence for. Your claim fails both of those tests, therefore it is discarded.

Yes. Looking at every possibility is just not viable. To be considered something needs to have an actual basis behind it. This being an accident does have a strong basis behind it. What your suggesting has nothing backing it. Your just creating a random hypothetical.

Just because it is possible does not mean it can be considered as something that should be looked into. Unless there is actual evidence for it it should be discarded.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

I am also hoping that this will send a message to the rest of the world that they need to get their act together. But seeing as this is not the first time a disaster like this happened(there was one in Texas City that killed around 500 IIRC) I doubt it.

The government was extremely careless and grossly negligent here. Something that is sadly not uncommon around the world and has caused several incidents like this.

There's probably 1000 dead people in the city of Beirut. That blast tore buildings apart and caused widespread devastation across several city blocks.

It was like the Oklahoma City bombing.

I think that was an exaggeration. I think it will be between 200 and 300 eventually, but not 1000.

Also currently there are at least 5000 confirmed injuries.
