I dont pay taxes, rather like a good liberal I get money from the government every month. Thanks to tax paying citzeens like you clark, I can sit on my ass and drink beer at your expense. That what makes America great is welfare, and other government money give aways to lazy people like me.

Just rember that 10k, or 20k, or 30k, and higher that you pay in taxes is lazy peoples meal ticket, and beer money. Why should I work when the government will pay me not to work?

I might buy some lottery tickets as an investment plan too. To all the hard workering Americans out there. Get your asses to work, and pay your taxes. Because the people of my project are going to Vegas, to gamble away the money that you paid to the government as taxes, that the government gave to us not to work. So that we could gamble, drink and party. Spending away your bucks for are fun! We thank you and need more money next month please.

St. Patricks day is not an American holiday, it is just made up by Irish so they can get drunk.
Cinco de Mayo is a popular celebrations in Mexican but is not a holiday in Mexico. Here in the USA it is not a holiday but an event for stupid americans to get drunk. Also the illegal Mexicans here, get very very drunk on that day. I see them passed out in the parks, flying that ugly mexican flag. If you never been around mexicans you dont know, so dont say I make it up. They talk in spanish, I yell at them in spanish to learn English. If mexica so great and love to fly its flag and play that bad mexican music in puplic. Why dont you go back to mexico? Why because it is a shit hole in the first order. So respect are american values and party on the 4 of july, and stop flying that mexican flag. Also for new comer mexicans, the two thing American cant stand for are, public drukeness, and pissing in public. It is happens every day where I live, in the parks, malls, even in your front lawn.

I don't want to live on Mars, or go to Mars in person. The reason being what clark said. All the same things on Mars can be found here on Earth, On Earth it's even better because we can live in the open, the air is good, soil clean, lots of water, plants, and aniamals to eat. The earth is the garden of Eden compared to cool dry Mars.

What I like about Mars is the exploration part, discovering new land and such. Robots or people on Mars does not matter, in both ways we are exploring Mars. As for living on Mars my self, that will not happen. First only a few Astronuaghts might go to Mars. For me the Earth is home, as for the rest of the people here thinking that you will be living on Mars some day is a crazy idea. Because it is not going to happen. Just be happy with the pretty pictures sent back from the robots.

As for terraforming that idea is far out too, no such project will ever take place in are short life spans. Talking about is like being an arm chair general, you think that you can run this world as a utopia, and in hunderd years turn Mars into a copy of the earth. But in the real world your ideas don't matter, you are 45 years old living in your parents house still. You can't even keep your room clean much less change a surface of Mars. You stalk Cap. Kirk at star trek meetings. You spend most of your time on the internet at forums and chat rooms. Your idea of work is being a tester for free the Civ games, or othe PC games. You could write a book about all the serects in video games, but don't. You are the tipical internet nerd, who runs away from life for a make belive world that is safe. You are all crazy and run away from the present life. Be it Mars, video games, scifi stuff, your crazy ideas is just running from the real world. I can't blame you because every one does it in their own way. Movies, sports, novels, gambeling, sex, durgs, just name it and people do it for fun.

Living on Mars is crazy now, so is terraforming. I like to think of these ideas as a form of a fun, its just fun to think about. Just like sports and other stuff is, thinking about it does not make you crazy. But thinking that you will be on Mars your self in 10 yrs is crazy.

Hello Stormrage, are you a member of the brittish imperial party, or was it Britons now. I saw a show on PBS about white power moovemnets in Europe, given that Europe is the home land of white people, I can understand why they would want to kick out non europeans meaning colored folk that are non christen. Like islamic peeps. It is only natural for people to want to kick out a invader like Islam is. People in Arfica, Asia felt the same way towards European imperalism.
Also in Europe unlike America they don't have the same right to free speech, they can't say anything that would be found racist, or hurtful towards other races or religens. The USA is more liberal than Europe in that fact, I guess that Europe is not the socialist utopia my liberal professor have made it out to be. In the USA I am free to say what ever want. Lets stay liberal and stop being PC, because calingl each other mean names, is what helps us stay free. Unlike that non liberal Europe where freedom of speech stops at being PC.
Bye the way Muhumed was a silly profit, he should of included that God wants you to party on in the Koran. Because God is hip to party hardy.

Iran so far away but I could not get away.

I think that Iran should be renamed Persia, then just like Alexander we could rule as a prince of Persia. Persia is a much more bad ass name too, at the Hot Gates the Inmortals over came the Spartins. 300 spartin vs 1,000,000 Persians, a battle that Mars him self would not of won. The Hot gates was turned red with the blood of the 300 Spartains and the 200,000 Inmortals that died that day.

As one looks upon the fallen man, bent over his busted shield, broken spear, in a pool of blood of his enemys. Truely he died a death of great glory, for I rather that he return home on reefs of glory then as a cowerd.
That is what a Spartin women would of said about the death of her son or husben. Spartin women were tougher than the men of other nations.

Persia was defeated by the Greeks, so I say let the Greeks at them. The greeks are still mad about things that happened thousand of years ago with Persia, and also Islam truks.

Marsman who did you kick out of the red colony? I look at the post at redcolony bur I dont post. Most people seem about the same as the people here, but the folks at redcolony are more about Mars and space stuff than here. At newmar people like me get tired of Mars and like to post silly things, jokes, and other non-sense.
clark and bill seem to be very funny some times, others too. But most of the time every one is logical here. If you miss the context that they wrote the post in ofthen it sounds crazy or far out.
But the folks here are only minor loons when compare to some of the quest on the radio show Coast to Coast with Art Bell, or Nori. Last night some guy was saying that Atlantis was going to rise from the sea. Also that Jesus was an asended Atlantain that lives on another plain, and that bio fuel would solve all are fue needs.

Tattooing barcodes on people does not work because the tattoo lines are not even. The tattoo artist can't make a perfect line enough for a scanner to work on it. Also the skin moves arounds and streghes as it gets old. Putting a barcode tattoo on your self is more of a art statement then control.
A better way is to have micro chips placed just under the skin, the chip could have solar panels to power it because lots of light can go through your skin. Hold a flash light up to your hand in the dark, lots of light can get in. If near the surface of skin it would work well.
I had the same idea of solar panels under the skin to power a pace maker, then old men would be forced to walk around with their shirts open.

I am not Mexican, I just like to practice some spanish because I am currently learning it. As for being a confederate no I am not, It's fun to write funny thing like that. At the time I was thinking about what a sounther would say, In south Carolina I think that they still want to be there own country. The stars and bars still fly in the south, to show them yankies that the confederate flag will alwise fly. No one anit going stop them boys.

Yes and No, I did not say what username that said crazy person uses. To me any one saying the moon does not exist is a little loco. So I am not trying to make said person mad, but he being a mad does not help in the first place. Like the movie "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World" was great, those folks would fit right in with the one way trip Mars peeps. On the internet you can bait the lunnies, but in real life I try not to make too many jokes. Because their pink Elephant friends might get mad, and bother my gaint bunny friends. I just can not stand the loss of another make belive friend to a randon pink elephant stomping.

#43 Re: Not So Free Chat » Why do we attract crazy people? » 2006-02-07 21:58:25

I am not one of the crazy ones.

Some of the folks that post here some times get far out. Even when talking about terraforming or, one way trips to Mars. Some posters like once some one said the moon did not exist, I wrote: Then what is that big sliver ball that I see in the night sky every so ofthen? He said that so string just made it look so. I then said back it must be cosmic yarn, and the cosmic kittens are pulling are strings. He got mad because I said that, But what person would think that the moon does not exist other than some lunnie.

RIZ4ROCKET: Como estia, homes
Your point about Spanish being a better language than English is false. First English is a great Language that allows the writer to express most everything that comes to his head. English is also great at envinting new words, for ideas and objects that in the past had no word for it meaning. Spanish is a wierd language where they have lots of verb ending changes to express its meaning, which is darn hard to learn. English does what spanish does with only two extra ending to words: ed for past, and ing for actions. Spanish is messed up, and is not worth learning.
I think that English is the best Language on the Earth today!

Also saying that slavery still exist today is an insalt to my ancestors that died in the civil war!

Austin Stanley: I get what you are saying, Capitalism is never fair. It's a system based on animal nature, and humans being of an animal body work best in that form of society. But humans have a soul given to us by the lord, this soul tell us that just living in a state of nature is wrong. We most help our fellow humans so that they too can make it. Try a little kindness, to fight the narrow minded street.
This is where humanism comes in, Capitalism is harsh towards the weak. So in a loving society they most be protected. To what extent society helps the weak makes that society what it is. A primary capitalist country will make some laws to protect people, and give some charity from private or government sources. The US is that, Their is no pure capitalist country. A socialist or communisty country will help out a lot, to do this the government own all major industries, and transportation means. A socialist country will allow some private ownership, but has high taxes so that it can give it to the poor or lazy. In communisty state, the state owns everything including the people, all wages are the same. A janitor makes the same as a Doctor. The rich don't exist, all money has been taken and given out equally. Ofthen the only with good thing are party members, and any descent is harshly delt with. Slave labour camps, mass murders, and other horriable things.

Capitalism can be harsh, but when the uneducated poor take over, a demand that every one be equal that is the time to go to another nation.[/quote]

#45 Re: Terraformation » Mars Needs Nitrogen » 2006-02-06 17:03:47

N2 from Venus is a good source for Mars. Also Merury could use some good amount of CO2 and N2 for any colonies, and Earths Moon colonies would need gas.
But a better source of N2 is the outer solar system. Neptune has lots of CH4 and NH3 in atmosphere. So does Uranus. The moons of the outer planet should have lots of NH3 ice mixed in their ice surfaces. You would have to mine the ice on the moons, process the ice for pure NH3, sublimate the gas to form large NH3 balls. Then throw them towards Mars where they would hit and melt in to Mars atmosphere adding needed NH3. That would get turned into N2 by the sun UV light.

Also CH4 could be sent too, both NH3 and CH4 are good greenhouse gases. It is easy to send object towards the sun where Mars is compared to the outer planets. Then to send stuff out away from the sun like Venus to mars when it comes to energy cost.

Freedom of the press is good, so is free spech. I like it because I have the right to call Muhammad a pedifile, murdering, false profit of god. Thats why America so wonderful, I can say what ever I want and not worry about being killed by carzy islamist. If they threaten me and tell me to sensor my self the ACLU would sue the CAIR for preventing me of my right to free talk. I mean this is America not crazy islomist land, here christen views matter. If the Koran gets covered in BS thats great. It's my right as an American citzeen to go out and buy a Koran and a sack of composted steer waste and cover that Koran with the foul oder compost. Then take pictures of it and email to Al jazzera tv.  Its just a printed book, go out and buy a new one. Just because some person messed by your so called holy book, does not hurt your belife in Muhammad as the messigener of God. Sure Muhammad used force to spreed the word of God, but he also belived in merce for the weak, women, childern, and for jews and christens. As long as they paid their taxes to go to their churches or temples.
Europe is easy target, dechristened they dont get much bothered by an islamist movement. But the new world christens like in south America, and North America still have that sprit and would love to start up the Holy war, and destory Islam. So muslims jhadist stay away from south america and your holy war. Because they might just fight back. As for the USA, G W Bush  is not afaired of you.
Any ways my main point is that its important to protect freedom of speech, other wise we will stop being Americans. Also here in the USA artist often degrade the Holy book, but its their right to free speech. I am not going to start all sorts of trouble because they made me mad.
Also I respect Muhammad and Islam, I would not degrade the koran I just used it as an example,so I support those cartoonist and their work. Because if they get censored, my ideas would be censored next. Freedom of speech is part of being an American.

#47 Re: Not So Free Chat » What I Hate About The United States » 2006-02-06 12:34:32

Austin Staley, The civil war was all about states rights against the federal government rights. Slavery was used by the Union as cover.

Also calling capitalism to be a modern day form of slavery is an old trick of the socialist. Slavery is where a person is owned as property by an other human. The master makes the slave do work for him in extange for food and shelter. The big thing is that the slave is owned by the master and has no choice but to do what he is told. No freedom of choice, or movement, and being property is what defines a slave.

Now under capitalism people are free to make choices, they work for money, are not property, and have freedom of movement. A person working for low wages in a bad job, has the freedom to find a better job. If he was a slave he could not do what he wanted to do. If you dont like your job find another, not educated then go to shcool, get the skills and get a better job. In America no one is a slave, you are free to do what ever you want. That what is so great about America, so stop hating America because you cant make it, and stop thinking of your self as a slave.

#48 Re: Not So Free Chat » What I Hate About The United States » 2006-02-02 21:55:36

riz4rocket, you got one understanding of American history. First of all slavery is illegal in the USA. Lots of American lost there lives in the civil war inpart due to the issue of slavery along with the many other issue that had to be solved. Saying that that slavery still exist today in America puts down the the men that died in the civil.
As a mater of fact two of my ancestors fought in the civil war. One for the glory of the south, and the other for those no good blue bellys of the union. Are you trying to say that my ancestors deid fools? That the civil war changed nothing, that slavery is still part of the america of today!
As for the christen fundamentalist propagandist, they are the ones who wanted to free the slaves. Most other people at the time did not care about slavery, the issue was used at the time as a reason to take away political power from the south. Pre civil war big issue was if a state would become a slave state or a free state. A slave state voted democrat, while free states for republicans. As western territorys became states the issues of there slave status would decied which polical group would gain power in elections. More slaves states ment more democrat power while free states gives power to republicans.
But after many comprimises the south relized that it was better if they left the union and form there own country. At the time there was no law against states from lefthing the union and they did so. The bigest issue of the civil war was if states that entered the union could also lefth the union too. The union won so as a result states cant lefth the union today, that why like Hawaii could never lefth the union. It illegal, and the civil war was mostly about states rights vs federal rights.
Also besides being dumb in History, taste, and being a racist. You are also crazy!
You are a propangandist your self for liberalism, socialism, and anti-americanism. You hate so much of what America has stood for, that you want to destory it any ways possible, to replace it with some grand idea of socialism, or communism. Where the government controls every thing in your pathic life. All so you can live your own selfish degenerate life style of what mintal sickness I know not. But you feel that by setting an example America exposes you for what you really are, a lazy selfish fool, that cares for nothing but the gratifaction of your own sick mind and body.
If you hate America so much, then go to Canada eh, and let the people who love America enjoy it with out your dumb ideas, and complants.
En la vivo loco, mucho gusto. Como Uds. esta?

I hate apple fritters, the spice in them gives me an upset fealing.
I due like pumkin pie, bismarks, and fruit pies, mmmm.
Cant go wrong with cake donuts covered in sprinkes and maple frosting.
As for crazy jewery you use as a cell phone, today youth use them too much. I dont like all the EM wave those things give off. Its like being year high voltage power lines, you can feel the power of all the energy in your hair.
As for sleeping with aliens, no problem they are just human actors playing aliens any ways. It would be could to be a centar with wings, and fly around drouping hourse dropping on peoples cars. Can you imagine the breeding of and alien+horse+brid+human. It would cool to if you could change your skin color at will, Like blue skin when you are sad, Red skim when mad, Sliver skin, and gold hair. Add some horns and you got the making of a great alien.
Would Cap Krick tap that alien, or would Cap Picard. In Star trek world they ar so PC that seeing their Cap making out with an alien female centar with wings and horns with sliver skin and gold hair would not bother them at all. What a wonderful world for freaks. I would be the one in TerraPrime planing to enslave the aliens, to get cheap labour for the walmarts that will cover the alien worlds some day.
