Your buddies at NASA


I don't know anyone at NASA - never did except for a brief summer job.

If it weren't for NASA there would be a lot more white-collar crime.
Those bright engineers have to be kept busy. NASA is no different from
the Egyptian pharaos building pyramids.


And when anyone goes to Egypt today, what is the first place they want
to see? Sure isn't anything that they are doing today.


But ultimately the reason for its existence is to service the
Military.


NASA is not supposed to be. But if it has folks like Kolker, who
blindly support the DOD, into thinking it is, then fine.

That sounds like the only legal justification for funding the agency.


Right, you just keep believing that.

Now, tell me the justification of NOAA and then tell me where that is
in the Constitution. Be very careful how you answer because I am about
to catch you in a trap of your own making.

Yeah. We got to the moon 37 years ago and we have not been back since
1972. Big ****ing Deal. What came of it? A few laser reflectors on the
surface and the print of an astronauts boot. Some legacy.


Yes it is! We did it and when someone else does it, it'll make our
initial accomplishment even more great.

Yes, and that's another reason to prefer the Moon to Mars. Mars
doesn't have enough atmosphere to be useful (around 6-8 mBar at
surface) but it's enough to get in the way and degrade optical work.


But maybe plants will grow given the CO2? What is the inherent
advantage to optics on Mars over the Moon? None? Then why bring it up?

And also the father of psychoanalysis.

Which is a fraud, a scam and a psuedoscience.

Oh Doktor Freud, Herr Doktor Freud
How we wish you had been differently employed
Instead of fiddling with neurosis
You could have cured sclerosis
Oh what a waste Herr Doktor Freud.



Freud was a physician, a neurologist, before he became a psychiatrist.

He was mistreated in France because he was Jewish, so he found a way
to get even with the Frogs - invent this scheme whereby he can declare
that they are all crazy.


He didn't live in France. He lived in Wien (Vienna), the capital city of
the Austro-Hungarian empire. We went to Paris to study with Charcot in
the treatment of hysterical symptoms. Charcot was using hypnosis to
treat hysterical symptoms and from that service with Charcot, Freud
invented his notion of the subconscious mind.

Yes it is true that Freud suffered from the effects of anti-semitism in
the A.H. empire as many Jews did. Einstein ultimately suffered the same
kind of abuse in Germany and had to leave. Be this as it may, it does
not excuse or explain how Herr Doktor Freud became the guru and poobah
of a cult. His circle of adherents and acolytes to his theories of the
subconscious mind (empirically untestable) became his Very Own Gang and
he did not tolerate any sort of disagreements from "his" people. That is
how a bitter split arose between him and his followers and Adler and
Jung. Freud for a set of complex reasons used his talent to create a
quasi-religion and cult from which the world still suffers.


Well tell me, how does the id, ego and superego all fit into this on a
global scale?


The fact that the Frogs are crazy went a long way in helping Freud
establish his theories. He would have been driving a taxi in any other
culture for lack of work.


Not only the Frogs, but the Vienese. The Jews who lived in Vienna very
often become neurotic and the goyim were not far behind. It was the
goyim who welcomed Hitler with open arms and cheering when the Anschluss
happened. If you want to see a dark vision of the life of those times
read -Metapmorphisis- by Franz Kafka a Jungerian Hew.


Kafka had a for famous story didn't he?

No, we didn't. Many Arabs remain in Israel, and are treated better
there than in any Arab regime (including the ability to vote and be in
the Knesset).


I'd like to hear that from a Arab resident than from an American with
Jewish ancestry.


Who cares what you'd like to hear, or from whom?


You, because you responded.


It's an objective fact.


You are going to claim that all Arabs in Israel feel the same way? Even
stupid, even for you.


Of those who left, it was because the other Arab
nations told them to pack up and get out, on the promise that they'd
be able to come back after the war, when all the Jews had been killed
or thrown out. It didn't work out that well, in 1948, 1956, or (worst
of all) 1967. They continue to keep the refugees in camps as a pawn
in their ongoing war against Israel, instead of simply integrating
them into their society.


Integrating? How does a Muslim integrate into a Jewish state?


The way they have. There is complete freedom of religion in Israel,
unlike most of the rest of the Middle East.


Then why does everyone call Israel a Jewish state?

There is no such thing as a "Palestinian." They're just Arabs.


Yes, I think it is the "just Arabs" comment that tends to **** them
off. Then there is the addition of not being worth the fingernail of a
Jew (actually said by a rabbi), that doesn't help as well.

Do you somehow how feel that 17 million Jews are worth the same or more
than 1.3 billion Muslims, all else being equal?


No, you moron.

C'mon Rand, expand on
your "just Arabs" comment.


There's no need.


punt

That's what you really mean.

Argue? You must first possess an intellect to argue. Throwing your
