Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

"...and save mankind thru the MD thread..."

You forgot Bill Casey, Bluestar! We shouldn't forget his involvement during Showalter's formative years.

lchic -

"...'Ignore' (see preferences button) can be used to take out monikers that are non-contributory to the header above in either the narrow or wider senses. It's a useful device - I'm employing it currently..."

If "non-contritubory to the header of above" is the standard you use to decide whom to ignore then I can understand how you'd use that device on rshow and cantabb. Neither of them are contributory to the header topic. Of course by fair application the same standard you'd have to ignore yourself too.

I guess that leaves YOU, who can't see any one NOT here "long enough" to ask any questions.

Once again, you keep forgetting that, in reaction to my First post well over a week ago, YOU and other Forum 'regulars' have been strongly defending and trying to justify the continuing abuse of forum.

Having participated and 'wallowed' in the slop for so LONG, you can't keep yourself above it, can you ? No matter how hard you tried in recent exchange with me.

Still smarting under ?
