You people say that that I rant much compared to you people I just a beganer. Some of those post must of taking hours to write out, its seem to me the you people have a lot of free time and a lot on your minds. Not to add to your burdens but here something to discuss the Chinese space program, I hered that they have plans to orbit a person around the earth. With such loftity goals as sending man missions to the moon and to mars. If the free wrold does not get off its but and claim mars by having people on, the chinese could get there before use and claim it for them selfs alone. Then there would be no debate about you would have a commumst dictors runing Mars no matter how much you think democracs work. You have to have people that belive in on mars in order for it to be free. Worest yet what if both chinese and westerners colinaze mars than you would get a marin cold war that could heat up mars with nukaler war. That not the kind of terrifroming we need, destorying man next fronteir. Its just another reason to get get support to colization mars. If we dont do it they will, thankful the chinese are just getting started weer we where 40 years ago. But with acess to modern tech and history as a lesson it wont take long be fore we are sharin orbit with chinese space crath. That could lanch props to mars and eneventally a collonist. Lets not laet a another could war happen on mars. I have not seen any one talk about this possiblity happening although be it very real. The russians would are on are side on lets use there experince to bet the chinese!!!! smile  smile

To Clark you seem to be well educated, well spoken, and aware of current events. You even seem to know about the last of the 48 to enter the union, most people would not even know were Arizona is on a map much less are neighbor to the east New Mexico.
To your Question about Prop 102(medical pot) the arizona state legistater did away with the first law that passed some years ago. This is the second time around for medical pot. If I was old egough to vote the first time the prop came around I would of voted no, Like I did to the current one on the ballot. I voted early by mail in ballot, if you are wondering.
The same people that were protesting the president and being very rude I might add, are also the ones behinde the medical pot. Mostly they are are pothead losser from down on mill Avanue, Its in Tempe near AUS main campus but they are not students. In my experince they are out of state run aways from Califronia, Ministoa, and all those other back water states. They come to Arizona because well we are gengerouse people and a person here can make a good living of beging. There hang around Mill avanue hasling stundents and others for money to buy drugs and stuff. Recently the major of Tempe kick them out but they are still around.
I see medical pot as just the first part of there plan to totaly legalize drugs. By pulling at are hreat stings to help the sick and the dieing. They have all ready succeded in San franisco, big surprise there. They have turn a great city into a sess pool, when I visted the city two years ago the city was dirty full of crim, homeless people, and others you know. Although I was impressed with the citys history and archutexter the rest of the city I was disspleased. I expected it to be better than it was.
Anyways back to medical pot, be legitaizing it in the minds of the people it will make it easyer for them to except total legalization. It may be easy to suker the good hreated out there in desetorying the social sturcture of are nation, but the hole idea that just because the citzeens of state want to have pot and pass a law making legal its not. If you remeber back to government class federal law supper secides all state laws. That means until the federal law against pot is removed or legalize by a bill in both houses of congress and is signed into law by the president, or a 2/3rds vot in the senate happpens. Any law pass by the state in legalization cant happen, so they can keep passing there medical pot props all they want its still ilegal under federal law, and any one who acts under any pot prop will be charged under the full power of federal law and be sent to jail. Even if the Democrats keep the senate and win the house, and senator Edwards becomes president. I dont think even urder such a event medical pot would pass, remeber that they have to be reelected and many democrats dont support legalization, and dont for get Republicans will still be there fighting every  effort.
I think that they should go back were they come from they are given the state of Arizona a bad name, pretty soon people will start to think that we are part of the left costs.
Clark are you colleged educated, If so were did you go
and what degrees did you get? You problely a engeiger right?
Not to brag but my dad got a PHD from ASU in history, a seminarly degree from Osberg college in Minisota, and a Blecher degree from New Mexico state. He hastaught me a lot of what I know, and has influenced my veiws.
As a stundent in colleged my self I hope to become as well educated.

#328 Re: Martian Politics and Economy » Freedom?????? - Are People really Free? » 2002-10-28 11:15:47

I see how it is dont even facy me a replay, well then if you are so smart can debate what is the meaning of life? or how about If a metor hits mars and no one hears it(we cant hear because we are othe earth) did that metor ever exist or even hit mars. Just like if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it did it ever exist that kind of thing.
If you just want to talk to your brittish frenids that fine with me do it on your own forum that you start your self!
It just a matter of common crudisy. :angry:
Just kidding a little big_smile

#329 Re: Not So Free Chat » U.S. ARMY INTELLIGENCE AND ANTIGRAVITY - THEFT OF ANITGRAVITY TECHNOLOGY » 2002-10-28 11:03:54

I think that you are right the government did steal anti gravity tech so that they could bluild secert bases on the moon to wacth you wacthing the X files, star treck, and other sci fi. If the governmet really had such tech wont they already be using it on the war on terr?? big_smile  big_smile
If you look at the past in times of war governments tend to come out with any top secert tech, example the stealth fighter in the gulf war. If had such an advantages they would already be using it.
Did the voices in your head tell you that?? big_smile  big_smile

#330 Re: Not So Free Chat » President Bush - Great pres or bad pres ? » 2002-10-28 10:56:58

I may rant much only because in america we have nothing else to do, beside protesting, I think american have that trend because we have it so good here. Like last Sunday when I went with my family to go see president Bush at a political event in support of the arizona state governer race. He gave a great speech on terr and told the people that if the Un does not do its job it might become like the leage of nations. He had good points and the crowd loved hom, which was a good thing since the Repulicans are lock in a close battle with the democrats for control of the state, and the Senate. I hope that come Nov 5 Matt Salmon will be the next governer.
When I was leving the event protesters were blocking the exits and the police had to keep them from entering the theather. The protesters had sings saying that Bush wants blood for oil, Bush Lies, Bush is a@#!*, and Bush is a terrorst.
The protesters were waring black hoods, and Bush masks with sawthicas on the fore heads. Not very classisy people if you ask me. They claim that they were peace protest, but the hickkle the people leaving the event  surrounding them and trying to start a fight. When you werent looking they would kick you and spit on you, I being a gentlmen got in and told them to pick on some one the own size rather then old ladys. I ask them would they use that kind of langue around there own mother? They call me a @#%^$ "I leave up to you imagation" so I grab there signs and tore them up. In my veiw they were just grandstanding for the tv camerous. To teach them a leasin I got some pigs blood and moter oil and mix it together, I went right up to the people with the no blood for oil and therw it at them and told them to go back to mill Aveanue, or california. I ask them were they are form, they said San Fransico, then what are you doing in Arizona you dont represent the state or the people!!!! They said they represented the America, I told them bull the rep pothead loser with nothing to do but call old ladys drity names!!!!
I told them to go to Irag and see if sadam would put up with them, the declinced. Anyways needless to say the were pissed and said that I was sick, and I said bac"yeah the whole world is crazy everyone but you". Well then I got out of there before the could attack me.
Its like I say Americans rant and protest because they have things so good, and the are protected under the consitution. I remine them it protects there right to free speech not verable attacking people on the street. Some of you brittish might know what I am talking about when it comes to ungreatful anarches "pothead losers with nothing else to do".
Maybe bush could bring back the draft, the Marine and army would strighten them out in five minutes, but why would they want to waste their time on them anyways??
Have you people run into the same group in other countrys?
I think some rich leftist pay to fly them around the world to any event that deals with the president or the worl bank, because as far as I could tell most people in arizona are happy with the president, I think that I say the same people in other protest in th news in other parts of the nation.
Well I quess That I am Done ranting for to day, Or am I!!!  tongue  wink

#332 Re: Martian Politics and Economy » Martian Gold Standard - Will Martian money be as good as gold? » 2002-10-23 11:43:29

What make you think that there gold on mars any ways it is a dead plant. in order for gold ores to form the has to be oceans, erosin, and technochechs. None that has exist on mars, if only for a short time. That an ores would be spread out and not concentrated and would be very expensive to mine. If you prove to me the there could be ores on mars do so. But the likly hood would remote that any major mineral despost exist on the moon. tongue  tongue  tongue

#333 Re: Not So Free Chat » President Bush - Great pres or bad pres ? » 2002-10-23 11:34:30

Some of you people out there are still mad about the election, that whole mess down in Florida. I have one thing to say to you get over it!! That hapened two years ago already and if you think the that Hillary clinton will run in 04 you are not too far out to think that. Maybe she could use the secert service to keep track of Bill, whats that saying when themaster is out the cats will play.  tongue Any ways back to the election you cliam that gore would of won if there was an recount or a reelection, that might not of happened. If you want to get into lost votes what about the millions of milatary votes that were not counted, or how boxes of bush votes ended up in lake Michigan?? I bet if you dive off the peirs in chicgo with a metal detector in could find boxes of votes for Nixin, Bush senior, Berry Goldwater "dont get me started on how he was ceated @#$%#*!@3 opps I held the shift key" in 1963 election. Any ways Mayer Dailey and the fedral voting ensecptor(the DNC) Know what happen to the bush votes. If you look at a map of countys that voted for bush and gore, it was over whelming how many went for bush almost sold red across the nation for bush. The only places were gore won waas in the big citys on both costs, in my veiw a few extermist sould not decied for the rest of the nation. Maybe we could give Californa and New York there Independence so that they could only srew them selfs up. As far as they are concerned the area in between Southern Californa and new York is only fly over territory, they think that the rest of the nation is filled with rednicks and cowboys. Well they are even dumer than than the worest setrotype Hillbilly you can thank of. Like in the the Bevery Hillbillys they thought that the clampest were well hillbillys but they knew more about policatics and philosy than the Hollywood elit could ever invent. For example Hollywood actors are alwise pushing there exterme left veiw on policts every one but Charlston Heston. They act like they have a doctorist degree in history or Religion and spot there hate of bush and America. Like Modona, she thinks that her views on life should matter to other people like just because she knews how to strip and be sexy. As if  realy mattered the news shows them mouthing off the man how has one of the hardest jobs in the world. "Being president" Its a free country and they can say what ever they  want no matter how uneducated they are about it, if they dont like America and think that we are gulity of so many war crimes than why dont they move to Irag in see how long Sadam would put up with them?  :0  :angry: I knew that most actors and other left people dont get very far in school most of them barly finish high school, were they paying attention in history class and governtment no the were asleep dream about being a movie star. Beside they hire spend doctors to come up with there crazy ideas, they are not even smart egough to have own ideas.  ???  tongue
Well they can take there idea with them to Irag and levy America to those who love it. Gore can lead them since they dont balive that bush dint win, and like the wore of Babolyon they will be lead to Armageon to there deaths and the good will asend into the heavens. "Revolations" They an d the false profit and gods will burn in the lake of fire lead to it on the back of the beast they worship.  big_smile  big_smile
Not to get to holy but it proves my point that they think that they are holy than thou too. That attitude was express win many hollywood insider side that many be should not count the votes in middle America the all are racist rednicks that are not enlighting by the Dolly Loma. They dont that they are wrong, Rosa o doland or some other actress said that. Like when the Damond Backs won the world series last year Rosa said that New York was ceated and desiverd to win! What ever that team was called the come go back to there rednick State where they belong!!!!!"She realy said that, even David lettern congelguted the Dbacks and he in New York!!!
:angry: If have gotten this far you may of notice that I dont like the Hollywood elit who belittle the common man in America
Arizona is a great State and so is Californa and Upper New York state is too. Some day if they are not carful they will aleinate the people who suport them and go out of businse.
Gore Is a loser and nothing could have ever change that, dont count on him in 04 he will lose to some other democrat. Get over it already, and give middle America the support it deseire because with out it there would be NO AMERICA TO SPEAK OF!!!!! smile  smile

#334 Re: Martian Politics and Economy » Freedom?????? - Are People really Free? » 2002-10-22 21:41:02

When chosing an government to run Mars we naturaly think that our form will be used, a Rebulic like that of early Rome that has a constution that protects it citizens from it becoming to powerful. But if you look at Earth history you see that it is filled with kings that would be god justifeying murder rape and other crimes because the can. "They got the guns and power" You might say prople have rights to freedom but they dont , only the rights the ones in power chose to give them. China for example has a consitution with a bill of rights simialer to the us. That protects its citizens, but they all but forgotten about it and do what ever needed to stay in power.
On Mars this could be an addvantage, given the harhs condiction slaverly would work well, since no amount of money could be used to get them there. Sure all you scfi people dream about it and think how wonderful it would be, but think about sure you go and research your hreat out. The common person would not, just think of a simialer effert here on earth. Could you get thoudands of people to move to antartica and consturct citys roads and grow food, No of croase not. That why it has never been settle, beyond a few research sation or whaling sations on nearby islands. Sure you get small reseach sation going, but never the millions that it would take to turly settle mars and teraform it. Only by enslaving people and bring them there would it work, and controling them. Mars will proble be a despotism or some other sort of dickator run planet. tongue  tongue

#335 Re: Martian Politics and Economy » It's all so very nice, BUT » 2002-10-22 21:16:44

From what I read you people feel that people have rights, of all things????? If you look at history all there has ever been is slavery, racism, murder, and the few in power that run it all. If it is the one thing we should be aware of is that the natural state of life is the storng to control the week.  sad  sad thing that it is. In my view the only rights a person has is the ones that have the power give them. Example in Irag they held a vote recently, and Sadom insane got 99.9% of the vote. Its not that his people love him it that he was the only one they were aloud to vote for. Well every one but the crudes but that problem just seemed to go away. "He gased them"
Another example is slavery people act like its a terrable thing if it so wrong why has it been going on sence history started?
Because it is the natural way of live, Rome enslaved millions of people murdering its way though history. Should Italy have pay rebperations to England, France, Germany, and all the other people they enslaved of crouse not.
I think its great you have all these ideas of freadom and other stuff, but you have to face the facts poeple will only be free if the poeple with the guns monry and power let you have it.
Consider your selfs lucky that you live in a country were they let you be free, and remeber the great cost of that freedom won though all the ars America has fought. Hey in China they will sure agree with you that you have rights to freedom, thin point a big gun at you and tell to get back to work in the rice patty. "They are little more than slaves of the state." big_smile  big_smile Who can say that a freedom loving government will run mars, if you use earth as a model there will be a few Rich Powerful people in charge"they have the guns, or on mars control the air, water and food supply. The rest will be little more than slaves at the merce of there all powerful GODS. tongue  tongue Mars in my veiw wont be free becace poeplewill realy so much manmade thing to live, like air since there is no breathable supply like here on Earth. So get out your wipe and hope that you dont become a slave!!!!!!!

#336 Re: Space Policy » Writing our politicians » 2002-10-17 21:49:08

If I miss spelled a few words its Arizonas schools fault, I was in top 20% of my high class for grades. In other places it might not be kosher but here were 50% of all the people are rednecks its a oky. Hey its fine with me I got into ASU the number one party school in America,  'Fun in the sun has a hold new meaning to me now". But for all you Mars people, ASU has been involed with Mars for years. Shuch probs like Mars 2001,and Path finder. So if the next Mars prob crashes dont get mad at NASA, get mad at the Arizona school system!! big_smile  big_smile
Go Sun Devils!!!!!!

#337 Re: Space Policy » Writing our politicians » 2002-10-17 21:38:07

You are right I was just kidding around, but my point about spending billions of dolars on social programs being a waste I stand by. Nasa could use those funds and invent many wonderful things, beside there are a lot of chairitys that take care of the poor. The church has been helping out people for thousands of years long before people got the idea that it was the government job! Church meaning all christen groups in general they all do great jobs. Like where I live St Marys food bank has being the poor in the Valley of the Sun for years "Phoenix Arizona", and many other groups too. My point being the public is beter at taking care of the needed, while big government tends to wastse most of the funds. An example is social secerty being neither for secerty or for you, until you reach 65. Even then you get hardly anything back that you put in. Private chritys like the Salvation Army do far better job, just look back at 911 and what a good job they did. The government is much beter at research and expolation than helping people, in my veiw they should stick to what they best, and leave social program to private people. That way things would work out much better.
smile Also I dont know how your government works in Britan or Austrialia, but from what I hread very since you got ride guns, let emigration from who knows whre flood in your counrtys have experince incresed crime, drug abuse, and falling values. You should have know that would of happen if you lreaned from history. Come your history goes back thousands of years, compared to America shorty 230 years. One good thing about your social and moral falling out is that America can lrean from your misstake. Although the leftest in America seem bent on following your example. If it was not for Tony Blare in England you might have North Kora, Iran, and Irag over in paris siging some treaty given them every thing the want, and "proclaiming that we have peace in are time". Sound like the time you bent over backwards for hitler, and Musilenne. I wonder how that turn out?  tongue
Call me an "ugly American" turbo man I like to think of my self as an angry American a great song by Tobby Keth you brits and Ause should listen to it some time. So you know what you are getting into went insult an American. wink
Also you can blem it on the weather, it does not rain for 9 mouths of the year here in Phoenix.You might think that it a blessing fun in the sun all year long, but for most of the time it over a hunderd degress. You get sunburned if take a walk in the park, buzards follow you around when hike in the Phoenix mountain preserve. It makes a person very erable, Please will cool off soon 90 as a night low just does not seem cool!!!!!!

#338 Re: Pictures of Mars » Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? - Blade Runner for me. . . » 2002-10-16 10:59:07

The best move ever was Mars Attacks of cross, some other that I like are Star Gate, Total recall, and Austin Powers "Yeah Baby yeah".
But Sci-Series would have to be Lex, Star Gate Sg1, Farsacpe, Enterprise, and Dude wheres my car, Unforgiven!.
Does F Trop count as scfi it sure was out there?
Old ones like Battle Star Glatica if eneny one rembers it, Married with childern, NOMAM member, and Unhapply ever after.
What are your favorite old shows?

#339 Re: Space Policy » Writing our politicians » 2002-10-16 10:40:06

Great idea lets march to the capital and tell those beltway insiders that we mean to go to mars. The could say that all those billions of dollars should go towards social programs to help the poor childern, Who cares! In the past do gooding politions have taking money away from the space program "NASA" and put it into social programs. An example was the great society of Johnson eara. That good did it do nothing, all that idid was to cancel the Apolow program and set back space expolation back years. Putting men on the moon was great, but wouldnt it have been beter if a premite maned base was founded. It sure would make mission to mars a lot easyer if they could be stage at the moon. Instead of in earth orbit which is lot more dangerous. Sure a few childern got government cheesse, but the moon and mars got the shaft. luckly in the 80's Reagen saved the day with his star wars move. If you dint you know the government used the move serse as a cover to bluid there own Death Star hidden under the White house. Shhhhh it's top secert. But Space cant wait for some hungry childern, so wacth out when Democrats start taking about the poor childern all they are doing is given out money for votes. They care about Mars, only about there Markist dreams of Power!
"Like in 1984 where tech is at a stand still and fredom is dead, the only save place to be is on Mars. Long live the Ministry of peace,love, and Fredom so as long as I am on mars. They want there marist dream, and care about the freedom loving people of Mars" Redplage 1917-1992 lets not make the same misstake as Jonhson did and demand Mars know."
Hey what can I say I had a lot of time, and its fun! :0  tongue

#340 Re: Not So Free Chat » Who would you take to Mars? - long ways, who would you want to go with » 2002-10-15 22:36:02

Which one would you go with, or better yet come up with your own list and give reason why you chose them. It could be any one they all dont have to be smart people or From NASA. Please answer it seems to be a cool poll, every one has a say in it!

#341 Re: Not So Free Chat » Mars whats Next? - Has NASA have any plans of colonization? » 2002-10-15 22:09:06

We all know about NASA plans of robot missions to mars, but do they have any plans to send a maned mission to mars? With the purpose to start a settlment, which would to the colonization of Mars. As far as I could find out only people like in the Mars Society and other other groups have come up with any plans on matter how far ficth they may seem. If these groups like the Mars society would sign a lettler and send it to congress and the president, it could make the government  look serously at coming up with a plan beyond unmaned missions. I think that by sending a lettle about are dreams of mars with credable names, like NASA workers, and common folk. It at the very least will show are dedication to are dreams, and help to bring together many people in different countrys that feel the same way.
What do you think about the idea? Is it a good one or not, please tell about plans that you have seen of recently,and should all people born on mars be called RED NECKS!

#343 Re: Not So Free Chat » Nukes and bio weapons - Using nukes and deadly life on mars. » 2002-09-25 11:54:36

The Use of nukes could greatly speed up teraforming efforts on mars. Some people might call it crazy but what the big deal, mars is a dead planet, the earth has too many weapons of massdestruction. Its a win win situation, we can take nukes and bio weapons from crazy people like Sadom Insane, and spread them on the surface of mars. The nukes could melt the dry ice and water at the poles forming an thicker atmosphere than today and form lakes or small seas, and the anthrax can live anywhere. Does it really matter that mars is filled with radation and deadly anthrax. Any humons that come to mars will be wearing space suits that would protect them from  the deadly atmosphere whats a little extra bacteria if they are not going to breath the air anyways. The radiation no problem from what I have read about mars is that any who one travel to mars would get lifetime dose of radition from the cosmic rays. Whats the difference if they get a few extra rads of radition on the planet? Besides most of the fall out will be at the poles far away from the equator where most people will go. Also any living plant, animal or fungus that colonizes mars would mutate and adaped to their new home and would become harmless.
If anyone can find problems with my plan, so what I came up with the idea, I just din't copy it from so NASA engenier its unique maybe I should right a multi million dollar book.
