12/30 The idiocy of the SDI thread is here the assumption that our
enemies will be using missiles. Class dismissed.
\_ Right, and thats why the Russians had 10,000 nuclear
missiles? I nominate you for Secretary of Defence.
\_ That, and a startling 50% success rate at shooting down missiles
when we know where they're coming from, where they're headed, and
when they've been launched.... --erikred
\_ It's okay to "experiment" with the Great Society and entitlement
programs until the end of time, but a horrendously technically
complex proposition like NMD has to work its first time out of
the box, skipping right over the "development" and "testing"
phases?
\_ As for the first, nice troll, and as for the second, it
makes sense to expect a workable demonstration of the
prototype before one invests the billions intended. A 50%
success rate does not make the grade. --erikred
\_ Can't we just give the tax money directly to the
Republican party donors and skip the pretense?
\_ I believe that's the stage we're in now, isn't it? Do you
see any large scale deployment or production?
\_ Right, and thats why the Russians had 30,000 nuclear
warheads? I nominate you for Secretary of Defence.
\_ Yes the enemy could use other things to kill people as well so we
shouldn't defend against this one thing at all. Makes sense. You
win the Big Doofus Blue Ribbon. Sober drivers kill people with
bad driving every single day! Stop the anti-drunk-driving campaign
now! We're wasting our time on drunk drivers when sober drivers
are killing our children! Do it for the children! You're an
idiot unworthy of the Troll Cookie Award.
\_ too dumb to get the point. Our enemies will deliver a bomb
along with all the bales of smuggled pot. Or a boat or a plane.
Not a missle, for which SDI has limited applications (non cruise)
\_ So you're in touch with the inner workings of the North Korean
government? Have you let our government in on your deep
access to this incredibly valuable and secret information?
You also know the same about the Iraqi, Iranian, and Chinese
governments? They're all smuggling bombs in to the US via
pot bales? There's a job waiting for you in the CIA. |
