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?

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

Sigh . . .

Might ask them, at that.

But I don't think even the high and mighty NYT should be, wittingly or unwittingly, "part of my problem" in interfacing with the rest of the world - and given the problems that have happening - some talking is in order.

As for Missile Defense

When things are complicated enough, truth is our only hope of finding our ways to decent solutions. That means we have to find ways to keep people from "filter(ing) out information that might undermine their views."

. . . ultimately the many tribes that inhabit this earth are going to have to figure out a way to forge some workable agreements on how we treat one another.

http://www.mrshowalter.net/a_md11000s/md11543.htm - some points long made on this thread bear repeating. There are plenty of jobs that are impossible. We need to find things that work.

to pwconger:

As far as the golf forum is concerned?

Buck had left the building, buck has left the mf builing.

As far as what you want me to say?

yes...yess...yees. mf yes....

Now, leave me the f alone.

Almost forgot, yes I believe our missiles should be defended, vigorously and purposefully.

Thankyou and have a good day.

There now you can copy that crap and post it whereever the f you want.

You have NOT presented an iota of verifiable evidence YET. Your assertion is NOT evidence. May be paranoia, but NOT verifiable evidence. Unless you can, your continued claims can only undermine your own credibility.

When things are complicated enough, truth is our only hope of finding our ways to decent solutions. That means we have to find ways to keep people from "filter(ing) out information that might undermine their views."

First, YOU have to know what it is that you're working on, then try finding relevant information on it for rational analysis, and so on as normally done.

However, you seem determined to remain in fog, and efforts to draw you out of it have all be unsuccessful--- largely, because of your own unwillingness, as I see it.

What was NEVER there to begin with is NOT going to there to help you make a point -- even if continue to re-post your links {your "Loop Test"] till the doomsday.
