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?

ultimately TRUTH outs : TRUTH has to be morally forcing : build on TRUTH it's a strong foundation

Cantabb had this to say about MD:

Start

(no content)

End

------

Cantabb is extraordinarily intrigued by the TRUTH tag-line above.

-------

Remembering it rightly i was banned from this forum for linking a public map of a geographic-zone that was under discussion on the forum.

The paranoia was in-house and in no way related to content of either that posting or myself.

-------

Cantabb puts out the myth that i have problems - none what-so-ever Cantabb ... that's Showalter, he has a problem re his former employer (your gvt) giving him acknowledgement.

-------

Using the Likert Scale ranking of 'strongly agree' is there a board opinion to move towards | Preference |Ignore | Cantabb | ?

Once again, the QUESTION was: What have YOU and your leader, rshow55, been doing on MD for the PAST 3 years ?

For the past 33 days [NOT 3 years], Cantabb hasn't had ANYTHING to say about anything -- EXCEPT trying to find out what's been going on MD forum, and addressing the comments from the 'regulars' (including yourself) who seem eager to maintain the status quo.

Cantabb is extraordinarily intrigued by the TRUTH tag-line above.

Actually, NOTHING intriquing there. I was just reminding you to abide by your own tag-line about whatever you mean by the "Truth."

Remembering it rightly i was banned from this forum for linking a public map of a geographic-zone that was under discussion on the forum.

The paranoia was in-house and in no way related to content of either that posting or myself.

I was talking about rshow55 getting banned, repeatedly, as reported by those who seem to know the Forum history. Glad to know you share one more thing with rshow55.

Cantabb puts out the myth that i have problems - none what-so-ever Cantabb ...

No longer a "myth." You PROVE that ( ALL by yourself, and constantly. I was just pointing that out too.

... that's Showalter, he has a problem re his former employer (your gvt) giving him acknowledgement.

That may be HIS problem with a US govt agency. NOTHING specifica or documented with evidence, YET -- his repetition is NOT evidence. In any case, this Forum is NOT the place to air such personal problems or try to resolve them.

Had rshow55 DID have any hint of familiarity (much less an affiliation) with any of our intelligence agencies, as he claims he has had, he should have known that they don't talk publicly (or through NYT forums) about their contacts, personnel or projects. Neither would any such agency anywhere else in the world -- in Australia, UK, South Africa or India.

Just shows his extreme naivete to expect them to do it -- EVEN if there were any evidence of his problems (which we don't yet know he had, and even if we did know, NOT relevant to this Forum). To hear that YOU agree with rshow55 on this too is just another instance of blind loyalty -- NOT the "Truth."

Using the Likert Scale ranking of 'strongly agree' is there a board opinion to move towards | Preference |Ignore | Cantabb | ?

Why must you have so much problem with putting cantabb on your "ignore" list ? See wrcooper (and others) can do it !
