Shuttle Surface More Vulnerable Than Suspected

Ant writes "The space shuttle's skin is turning out to be even more fragile than NASA engineers thought, its scientists and engineers say. Impact tests and analysis performed as part of the return-to-flight effort show that pieces of insulating foam that weigh less than half an ounce can cause small cracks and damage to the surface coating on the heat-resistant panels on the leading edge of the wing, agency officials said in interviews this week."

Yes, You owe much much more than you think. For example, the very reason that you're sitting in front of a computer instead of on your front porch with a shotgun is that the government keeps track of who owns what property. You don't have to chase everyone who steps on your land off, because you don't have to occupy your land around the clock to keep it.

The fact that you think you're an island unto yourself is just silly. You wouldn't even be posting here if you lived in the same region of Pakistan that OBL is running around in. That's because you wouldn't have all your fellow citizens giving you a leg up in life. You owe us, all of us. You take, well, you gotta pay.

I think that your taxes should double, and it would be the most moral thing to happen to you. We demand because you owe it. It's not services that you might use, it's for services that you already used up, and you have to pay for. A MAN pays for what he uses, don't you agree?

And I repeat my statement. Someone who is as easily trolled as you will very quickly lose everything to the first scam artist that comes along.

You, with your big man talk, are the first candidate for the welfare line.

And pay your taxes, you fucking deadbeat.

You know what? I can do this all day long. I'll cum in your eye, then cum again.

I am trolling you, and you are too stupid to know it. I'm even telling you that I am trolling you.

Who is laughing at who? Haha, you are amusing.

Now, pay your fucking taxes, you ignorant lazy son of a bitch. April 15th, don't forget.
