I've been called a lot of things...

[Leslie]

But never disgusting!!!:mad:




Or a political activist.

If you were referring to me Skuzzy, at least have the character to name me, and not leave your last words open to speculation.  Thank you.

I must have missed a good thread!

Don't get your pants in a bunch Leslie.  I believe you just happened to be the last poster in the thread before he locked it.

[Skuzzy]

It wasn't you Leslie.

I was wondering what politics had to do with the Mars landing post....

Did the bi-liberal neo-con Nazis put him ("M") upto it?

[Dowding]

I thought it was pretty apolitical (with a few exceptions). Questioning the placement of resources is not disgusting and neither does it denigrate the effort associated with the endeavour. I'm sure you can find plenty of history books that question the wisdom of the Arnhem operation, for instance. That isn't disrespectful to the protagonists. I also wouldn't call those books disgusting.

where were the personal attacks that must have been edited out of that post?? they musta been good.. I thought that was generally the rule for closeing a thread...

[Saintaw]

I don't see what was so "political" about what Miko said. Is it illegal to dissagree now?

 Pretty much anything I say on this board is political, Saintaw.

 "Political" basically means coercive, under the threat of violence. As opposite to voluntary, economic or charitable ways of human cooperation.

 Every time I speak against coercion - especially governmental coercion, that's political. Even if that coercion caused some spectacuar visible results (and plenty of ignored ones that may not be so great).

 Some people think that slavery is OK, if it is used in good (personally approved by them or condoned by majority) causes. I disagree with them. But they are not wrong in accusing me of politicising the issues.

Well, i gather that your main point was that there is some other things needing money (minor economic concerns cfr dago) that could be better spent than probing space. I might not totaly agree with you on that (I would not survive without a microwave oven!)... but where goes a BBS when everyone has to post "ok, I agree with you" ?

[airguard]

well "someone" need to say their opinion about everthing and "someone" does it all the time, those "someone" have to be heard. And if those "someone" get ignored the "someone" get really angry and post even harder facts that "someone " else did.
I guess "someone" need to get a real life

The Microwave oven came from an accidental discovery made by a scientist working radar equipment in the 1940's. It melted a chocolate bar in his pocket.

 No, Saintaw, that was not my main point.
 My point was not where the money is spent but the fact that it is coercively exptorted from people in the first place.

 For Dago slavery may be a minor economic concern but that is not true for everyone - especially the unwilling slaves.
