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?

Do you ever try to make any sense ? Or is it just veld-barn-speak !

"Want another shovel ? "

Now cantabb, I remind you that such questions are not 'well documented comments' but are pure barnyard aspersions. If you committed youself to upbraiding Rshow with 'well documented comments' only and left out the same type of aspersions as the above then I would not 'pursue' you.

Or YOU committed to DEfENDING rshow -- as you dis, right from the very first post to me ?

On the other hand I enjoy the odd schoolyard lampoon as I find it entertaining even if directed at me. What I detest about your lampooning and upbraiding of Rshow is your patent dishonesty.

You were the first to come out defending your leader, rshow, after my Sept 17 post ! What blind barnyard loyalty.

"Patent dishonesty" in what ? Any evidence ?

This is why I coined 3 words specially for YOU.

So that's why you couldn't spell ? What about "Irregardless" ? "Coined" ?

They fit you like a glove and I am delighted that you don't understand them because it makes you look all the more like that Foghorn Leghorn caricature that you have become.

Lamest rationalization to cover your own deficiencies ! They "fit" you and you alone: tailor-made for you, BY you !

Hipocracy -- attempts at ruling a forum by shooting from the hip.

Biggotry -- attempting to make oneself biGGer by abusing others and then denying that kind of behaviour is stricly out of the barnyard.

Chukkle -- the effect Cantabb has on people where you don't know whether to laugh or whether to throw up.

To go with "irregardless," right ? Try such lame cover-ups in your school yard ! Get ready to be laughed out....

PS Thanks for the unkind offer of the shovels ... but you will need them as your hen-house of cards continues to collapse into a big hole.

Same veld-barnyard ! You'll need the shovel in your barnyard.

PS2 In advance of your usual dim-witted deconstructive evasion of the above truth, let me say this:

Bwa ha ha ... and that ain't calling for Uncle ... it's the sound of laughter as you begin to struggle to find a 'reason' to post on this forum! Are you aware for example that the number of Off-Topic posts has nearly doubled since your apperance. You stimulate the very worst of what you state you are trying to stop here.

PS3 One more time I reiterate: My main purpose here is to explore in an entertaining manner, alternatives for missile defence which involve the willing and enthusiastic cooperation of every individual on the planet. This through a KAEP (Kyoto Alternative Energy Protocol), where the most important need of all people (low ENTROPY/energy) is addressed in a methodical way that will put and end to current world inequities which is the very reason we need defences.

Barnyard Blatherings !

KAEP: the same one-trick pony from your barnyard !

Must still be hurting very badly.

Get a life !

Showalter:

"Solutions must solve, and the definition of "solve" must be agreed upon by those for whom the effort is important."

Best one yet since "Important subjects are frequently interesting."

"....ask if his refrigerator is running?"

Or...take up a collection for a private Team of White-Coat People...
