1/14    old thread about Titan moved elsewhere.
           \_ Please don't politicize this. Dubya wasn't even President
              when Cassini launched and when this date was chosen.
              \_ What you meant to say was, "Please take your discussion off
                 my thread", which I'll do.
                 \_ That, too. How pathetic the person was to tie a triumph
                    of man, science, and engineering to hatred of the President
                    of one of the countries involved - a President who
                    wasn't for most of the mission.
                    \_ The message is that Dubya likes to bury bad news on
                       Friday, and the news he is burying today would be
                       particulary bad for overall public opinion of him.
                       The fact that Titan was one of the overshadowing news
                       items is not really relevant.
                       In fact, I think it is blindingly obvious to sodans
                       that Dubya had little to do with funding or promotion
                       of the Cassini mission, or the date of the Huygens
                       probe entering Titan's atmosphere - the satellite itself
                       was launched 7 years ago.
                       I was hoping by moving the post to another thread,
                       my meaning would become more clear - the other intended
                       effect being you could have a politics-free
                       discussion on this thread.
                       \_ Of course it wasn't Dubya.  It was Al Gore.
                          \_ Al Gore invented Titan.
                       \_ You're an idiot.
                          \_ Show me.  Put your money where your mouth is.
                             To be explicit, your "money" in this case is
                             your time.
                             \_ You are leaving little doubt with comments
                                like these.
                                \_ How do you respond when someone calls you
                                   an idiot?
                                   \_ For god's sake, you're arguing with dim.
                                      Stop feeding him.
                                      \_ I know it's dim.  I guess I'll stop
                                         now, since I think all the arguments
                                         are already out. -jctwu
                                         \_ Why do you hate America?
                                   \_ Amazing. You are a bigger idiot than
                                      I thought.
                           \_ Why bother even replying to an ad hominem attack?
                              \_ Most on soda pride themselves on being
                                 soundly logical, when they want to.
                                 I'm appealing to that aspect.
                                 \_ Someone who can tie Titan to Bush and
                                    then defend that decision is clearly an
                                    idiot. There's no ad hominem here.
                                    Retorts like 'To be explicit, your
                                    "money" in this case is your time.'
                                    further cement his idiocy.
                                    \_ You're an idiot.
                                       \_ I know you are, but what am I?
                                          \_ An idiot?
