We are damn good at it. As mentined on another thread, one ohio class sub can deliver absolute destruction to a nation of peoples. If, if only this detemination was turned to space exploration... If, if only each such sub was a ship cruising on out into the solar system. Then the money would have been well spent. Who but psychotics WANTS a SILENT undetectable boat that can lay 190+ fusion warheads on your own species... Occam
Now occam bets you.. some asshole will show up and say the ohio class subs can only deliver 154 thermonuclear explosives on target. Not 190+ This is somehting you and i will be deeply interested in when being oblitterated physically by some fools warheads. OH, we say as we are flash burnt to dust, hope the ohio's get a shot off. hope they unload all 190 + want to see the children in omsk BURNT TO DEATH. MAD Mutual. Assured. Destruction. This has been the OFFICIAL policy of all nuclear states for 40 years. Google it. just c&p the above.. wiki Truely, MAD exists as policy, dont laugh, cry.., it is true.. Occam wants to bring this crime to light this ABOMINATION. MAD These ******** played with our lives. Calling it, strategic defence. They called 100 million dead... A SURVIVABLE EVENT. i shit you not. Occam
We could have had a technology of expansion. Of co-operation. We could have made a deal...everyone is willing to deal if the deal is good. It would have lead to a world in 2006 that makes what we have look like the 50's You would have full retinal video on your wrist by now. not crappy little cell phones. Fully immersive 3d worlds. The matrix come to life. It was all wasted, on bigger and better bombs, bombers, ICBM's SSBN's. All that seed money spent o the abillity to produce 200+Kt's of nuke explosive power from a from a 50 Kilo warhead. That money could have been spent on processor dynamics. We could be up to 16 or 32 cores per mobo on PC's by now. MPP being THE WAY. With agents doing all we want. Should have.. Stuck to 100 billion on cvgn's and turf the rest. NNPP works. Occam
Twizz Occam made comment on contemporary history You, make comment on occam. This seems to indicate a total lack of understanding of contemporay history on your part. If you have nothing to say about occams comments. Then dont bother saying anything. You have no expertise or experience to draw on in making any comment on occam or his motives. Your comment is a diversion comming from ennui or lack of self confidence on the topic. NO? Occam
well it could all have been spent on better things but lets not forget that in the USA they have the freedom to blow the fuck out of any country they see fit and who would like to further erode their rights? Freedom is beautiful thang and dontcha forgit it dood! Why the eunited staytes dadnt git where she is now by going to mars but by blowing the hell out of south east asia
Sentient LOL The US is the powerhouse of modern history If there are 1 billion personal firearms held by US citizens then so be it. Occam would rather that than unarmed civilians. Victims of fruitcakes with patches on their arms saying 'peace is our profession' and spastic hats lifted from ww2 movies. G W Bush is the primo fruitcake at the moment This world needs nuts. Without nuts, all we have is fruitcakes. Einstien was a nut So was FDR and Eisenhower occam
Calling occam a nut is a very high compliment indeed - based on occams perceptive and full analysis of fruitcakes and nuts I too am a nut However by the tone of masked tokers reply I would say he is a fruitcake I dont know why occam says Isahowitzer (eisenhower) was a nut I thought he was one of the mega fruitcakes
Sentient Thankyou. Being a nut aint easy There are SO many fruitcakes. As to Eisenhower. Here are some snippets from his final speach before stepping down as president. "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." "The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded." "Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect." "We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love" Many have said.. He loved his country and wished it to be the well of plenty for the world..But feared deeply that it would be a thing of power weilded by evil men. Occam
Man is naturally self-destructive because we're so preoccupied with our own mortality. and because of our mortality we seek out more interesting and inventive ways of killing ourselves. Is there anything more noble than looking at death in the face and saying "Bring it On" :H Hotwater
If it makes ya feel any better, they're not silent or undetectable. They all have an acoustic signature.
Leopold Not to anyone who would want to stop them. Name me a nation that could detect or even reach the launch sites of the ohio class SSBN's. Remember they have a 7000 km range. Yes they have an acoustic sig.. But what decent sub comander would let anyone hear it? Occam thinks if te US gave ANY nation 1 month warning of a ssbn missle attack. None would be sunk before launch.
