Ok Freedom.
Go to the website below and read up on the responses given by people who actually know what they're talking about. If you can read, and understand the physics involved. Then good. If not, follow the advice of those physicists to the idiot that continued to peddle his trash. http://physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-82026.html Then go google causes of the trade center collapses, and read the official reports. Webmaster Can you go to the sites linked by Freedom and read the postings on Activism and how to get involved. They use "innocent questions" on sites and blogs like JCLIST, accept no answers but their own, and use it to peddle their highly organised and activist propaganda. Then can you ban this dick if he continues to use this forum to peddle his conspiracy theories. The only conspiracy I see is the one funded by these "Truth about 9/11" nutters. And I'm sure the Patriot act will take care of their funding very soon.

Profound? Yes.
Profoundly stupid in thinking anyone could believe these tortured lines of reasoning Profoundly offensive to those of us who lost friends/family/co-workers during 9/11 Profoundly boring to believe that we care about you linking some of these ancient links on conspiracy Profoundly idiotic to miss the point that the US public cares more now about the US reaction to 9/11 and not the original act itself. And overall profoundly insulting to our intelligence. I have no ties to the US Government. I am not a Jew. I am not involved in any kind of conspiracy. I saw what happened first-hand during 9/11. I lost friends and co-workers. And you, Freedom, are either demented, a dick or have your own agenda. Personally, I hope you're just a dick.

"Wtf was in those offices that would explode like that?" Err...how about the almost full fuel tank from the airplane, the fires creeping through the building, the build-up of explosive gases, posibility of backdrafts.... duh! Why is that a less reasonable explanation that the government rigged the building and detonated it minutes after the planes hit? And the Silverdude article? "This puff of smoke", the phrase "pull it" and the statement from some dude in the fire dept all add up to a grand conspiracy to blow up an empty building???? Soooo...how does that relate to the other grand conspiracy to blow up WTCs 1&2 with people in it...why not just detonate it at the same time as the others for maximum impact? I believe that the fire dept didnt have a clue where all their people were at that time ...half the fire department were killed by that time buried under a mountain of rubble and the other half were blinded and suffocating in the clouds of debris, plus they were working with makeshift communications. And some fire dept guy can say with conviction that noone from the fire dept were in WTC-7? Go have a look at the hollow shell of Deutche bank building which was at a similar distance to the South Tower as WTC-7 was to the North tower. If WTC-7 hadn't fallen, that's what it might have looked like, and they still might be finding human remains from the site as they do from the Deutche building. Frankly I find your posts extremely offensive and insulting to those of us who lost co-workers and friends in the 9/11 attacks. Go peddle your propaganda and distorted lies elsewhere please.

As someone who actually saw both planes hit the towers on 9/11, and I mean I was on Vesey St under the first plane when it hit the North Tower, and I was watching the South Tower from a Ferry to NJ when the second plane hit, I find these "truth about 9/11" intellectualists at best demented and seriously insulting the memory of those that died at the site, and at worst serving the agenda of those who attacked the towers. When they start looking for holes in what happened on 9/11...yes there was total mayhem and confusion at the time, even at a government level. To then go back in hindsight and point to inconsistencies, and invent the crazy conspiracy theories just makes me sick. I can empathize with negative sentiments about the US's reaction to 9/11, but no - 9/11 was not any kind of US/Israel conspiracy despite the insinuations and crazy theories of the so-called 9/11 "truth" distortionists. Their distortions are all about "why did this building fall the way?". "Our experts say it should have fallen that way". And why did Silverman say "pull it" referring to WTC-7? The distortionists say this meant "blow it up". On WTC-7, the rational explanation is given the mayhem at the time was to get people the eff outta there, cause the building was likely to fall, given the number of fire/police and other deaths that had already occured. And the "why did the buildings fall this way" argument? There were no explosions after the planes hit. There was nothing to suggest the trade center was exploded from below...in fact my clear memory and TV coverage shows both WTC towers crumbled top-down, not base-up. So the US/Israeli planned an extremely complex and coordinated series of events that would involve hitting 2 towers at the same time with planes, and near-simultaneously detonating pre-prepared explosives at the top of both WTCs and at the bottom of WTC-7??? Honestly, if you accept the theories if the 9/11 truth distortionists you would have to accept a sequence of events and actions that noone would have been capable of coordinating, not even the US government.

A $1.5 million spend like this would be much more palatible if it didnt add directly to our individual property tax bills. At a time when JC has real trouble balancing it's budget, and with the debt crisis (no-one wants to buy Municipal bonds/debt anymore), all this means is that every dollar of JC overspend is likely to directly hit JC property owners pockets.
Mr Fulop - you work in the big bad world of Finance. Can you beat some sense into these council numbskulls?

PS:
If you extrapolate the 1.8% and 0.3% CDC numbers to Jersey City, it works out at over 80 dog bites/week, 14/week of which need medical treatment. If the real JC numbers were this high, I don't think there'd be many other topics on this site.

Grovepath. READ THE REPORT. Let me make it easy for you.
Click here: http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/duip/dog4.pdf The figures you and the CDC throw around are based a TELEPHONE SURVEY. Not very scientific. No distinction was made between accidents (dog nipped my hand when grabbing a ball), versus real attacks. No independent verification. My point was the A&E stats are likely more reliable.

First read the report on the stats you throw around. This was a telephone survey, without independent verification. Around 5600 people (56%) responded to the phone survey, with 92 adults and 94 children reporting dog bites based on the phone survey. This data was then normalized and extrapolated to the entire population. Factual that there were 5 million dog bites in 1994? Doubt it. The hospital stats are probably more reliable for comparison. On the for-and-against on jaw strength, they are exactly that - two opposing points of view. My take is there is no difference in jaw strength of a pit versus say a German Shephard. The GS however hasn't typically been trained to fight and hasn't for example been trained to swing on a rope by jaw-power alone. Regards public fear and what I consider irresponsible reporting, yes there is far too high a number of bites in the US. Even the 12 deaths or so is 12 too many. Scaremongering though creates more potential conflict, and in-turn creates the perfect circumstances for bites to occur. I'd much rather see parents (and non dog owners) feel comfortable with any contact with dogs, and to do that requires a certain confidence on how to deal with dogs other than a fear response. Similarly dog owners need to be better educated on how to control their dogs, and in-particular in how to recognise and avoid situations where their loving little bundle of fur bites the face off someone. The JJ report could have included some CDC recommendations such as: Quote:
How do you pry a dog off someone? You can break up a dog fight by grabbing the dogs back legs and pulling it away while circling. If it doesnt release its grip, use pepper spay, a trashcash lid or anything u can hit it hard on the head while keeping you separated from it. Umbrellas and fire extinguishers have also been known to work. Do they offer classes in this? No, but they should. No difference to giving people driving lessons and road safety classes imo. Police and children avoiding peoples dogs because of 5 million bites/year? Think you have that the wrong way around. If the dog knows you and is introduced in a controlled way, it's much less likely to bite you. Your point illustrates the fear-mongering impact of the press. Police carrying dog treats absurd? Well, instead of shouting "stop or I'll shoot" to a dog in it's home protecting its territory, why not throw a treat first? Do the police need to be in good standing with local neighborhood K9s? Err yes - that'd be a great way to break down barriers between the police and community. Best way to get to know people is through their pets. And on the SUV comparision - go look at the stats yourself. Quote:

Your right. Dog bites are one of the most common and serious causes of child injuries according to the CDC. Some people consider it an epidemic. As a dog owner I fully agree that problem needs tackling at every level. Your also right on the comparison to mosquitos and West Nile. There's likely many more mosquito bites annually than dog bites, much less incidence of west nile versus A&E dog bite visits, but the comparison is fairly pointless. Entirely different problems. So going back to the original question and the purpose behind it. Should pit bulls be outlawed? For: - Pit bulls (and Rottweilers) respresent the 2 highest breeds that cause death in the USA according to the stats - Pits are regularly trained to be "aggressive" for the purpose of 'sport" or as guard dogs. - a bite from a Pit is likely to cause more serious injury than from most other breed because of the power in its jaws and the fact it's nearly impossible to break its grip during a bite. Against - No evidence that banning pits and similar breed reduces injury or deaths due to dog bites (from Canada and Britain) - No evidence that Pits have stronger bite strength than comparable sized dogs, nor have they any "jaw-locking" mechanism other than through what is trained into them. - Pits consistently score highly on breed temperament tests designed to test how well they deal with family and social situations. - The bite statistics themselves are suspect since most people attribute every dog bite from an unknown type of dog to the Pit Bull, and there's no A&E record kept of cause of attack. Most dog experts say that if you ban Pit Bulls, it will not tackle the real underlying causes of dog bites. I'd go a little futher and say the following: 1. Public and press hysteria over dogs has created an unhealthly and unneccessary public fear of ALL dogs. The best comparision to this would be the press creating a similar hysteria over SUVs and the relationship to injuries and deaths to children from road injuries involving SUVs. (Do you blame the SUV or the driver?) 2.Ban pits? What breeds are next? I'd bet the majority of the serious bite injuries are dogs that have been trained as guard dogs, or abused as fighting dogs. Do people think that banning pits solves this? Heck! An angry Jack Russell terrier can do near the same damage to a kid as a Pit for those people who know dogs. 3. Education, education, education. For example, the JCPD carry firearms, mace and all kinds of offensive weapons. They know they come into contact daily with local dogs. How many police carry dog treats? How many routinely stop day-to-day and pet local dogs on the street (which gives the dog their scent and marks them as a friend)? How many children without dogs are taught the "tree" or the "tortoise"? How many parents let their kids give their scent to local dogs in their local park? How many parents know the right way to stop a dog attacking their child? (I've seen recent horror stories on TV of mothers using their arms and bodies as shields and getting mauled.) IMO the more people treat every dog with fear and as a potential attacker, the more self-fulfilling it becomes. Dogs sense fear and will react with fight or flight. Enforcing existing city and state laws needs to happen. However, the biggest impact overall is likely down to education: educating children, parents, dog owners, police, and others on how to deal with dogs.

Ummm...no shit sherlock! And what's your scientific or social point worthy of research from an institute of higher learning that we couldnt have got from a sleazy tabloid, or a Cosmo poll? Quote:
The NJ law is set up to litigate the owner or destroy the dog. If your dog mauls someone and you got no assets...well tough on the dog and the victim. A high percent of dog owners don't even even pay their license fee of under $10 a year. Think they give a flying sh*t about liability insurance, which would likely cost $500+/year for a pit? Alternatively is NJ going to fill jails with dog owners without licenses that cant pay dog liability insurance? I think they're need to be a major shift in state and federal policies to make any kind of dent in this issue. And the experience in other countries suggests that dollars spent publicising public awareness of dog bites, and changing attitudes to dog-fighting probably reaps higher dividends than legislating against breeds.

Not sure we need more cops, but we definitely need more "visibility" from our cops.
We have 800-1000 police on the JCPD force. Is 1 arrest a month per officer a good statistic? (Serious question, I don't know how this compares to other comparable cities). Some studies I've read suggest we're actually overstaffed in JC for the return we get. Like other posters, I don't think we just don't have enough police visibility on the streets in JC. I posted elsewhere that Oct stats downtown were a huge improvement of previous months - and i think this was a JCPD reaction to the series on crime run by the Jersey Jounal. Now - I'll predict a significant upswing for November, because I believe that the JCPD East have gone back to their bad old ways and are not patrolling the downtown streets as much as in Oct. Hope I'm proved wrong.

I don't think this is a cop issue - I think the overriding philosophy for the city, is if there are any cross-department questions, let the resident sort it out in court. Recently, our Mayor stated he is happy for our Parking enforcement to f**k up doing their jobs because our judges are honest and can straighten things out in court.
Me - I'd rather see a little more on-the-spot training and empowerment of City officials to act in the best interests of their employers - us JC residents.

As it stands...u guys need to start listening to people downtown and not slam people with valid concerns that may or may not put the police in a bad light. At the moment you're appearing as an apoligist for the JCPD...and nobody outside the JCPD and City gov need that.
