Because building a subway under one of the most densely populated cities is totally easy?
It's too bad we can't just grab all the Chinese in Chinatown and give them a few hundred dollars a month to construct our tunnel for us, yes, we're really screwed.
Not necessarily. They have too much labor and need to do something with all of those people, hence getting the resources from the other states and providing all the labor.
I did not speculate on the reasoning for it, or attempt to justify any action. If you took that as the intention of my statement, you might want to address your issues with reading comprehension.
It was a simple question of responsibility and accountability, nothing to do with justifying or reasoning the holocaust.
Don't get me wrong, I think Scientology should be burned in the depths of Sun, it's an abomination of a religion, however to compare it to the Judeo-Christian religions today is a bit of a stretch. I realize if one is willing to go far back enough in time however one might find characteristics of Scientology in Catholicism, however it is quite different then the modern version.
Your post is contradictory, you say you would not blame the Germans of this generation for the Holocaust, yet you would blame the Christians of today for their past misgivings?
Also, can you truly blame an entire country or organization? Do you blame the Peasants for the Kings war, or do you blame the King?
How does one wipe out religion without killing millions?
More importantly, how do you wipe out something which is built into human nature itself? The desire and need for religion has existed throughout every culture in human history. It seems very likely to be something that has evolved with humanity as we have matured from cave dwellers to space travelers. Something not easily shaken,
That's painting with a fairly broad brush, don't you think?
It is, and it's wrong in both cases, C'est la vie. Humans seem to have a desire to view things in extremes of black and white even though no such dichotomy exists.
Based on your other post above, it seems that, if not "an idiot and an inoramus", you were at the very least being a troll.
No, not necessarily. The original poster seems to want to condemn religious intolerance and injustice by being intolerant himself.
Oh really? You were there for all of those? Or is vengeance and petty hate your prime motivator? Show me one culture that has been peaceful for thousands of years.
Yes, you're right, my mistake. I am not an aerospace engineer, just a lowly mechanical engineer so these words are a bit out of my vocabulary.
However, orbital speed is entirely dependent on the altitude of the orbit AFAIK so it's not simply Vesc*sqrt(.5), but sqrt(g*r) where g is dependent on the distance from the Earth itself.
Do you always assume everyone you write to on the internet is an idiot and an ignoramus? Then you pull out the internet tough guy routine by calling me a big baby and assuming you've hurt my feelings with your witty one liners! Oh the arrogance!
And I don't know who pulled the escape velocity numbers out of their ass but you don't "need" to be going whatever ridiculous speed they said. You "need" to be going any positive number. Like if you're going 1 MPH upward, you'll eventually be a hundred miles away from Earth.
Spoken like a true idiot. Of course you can do it at 1MPH, however you still need to maintain a force to counteract gravity. At 1MPH, you will be spending a literal shit ton of fuel just to maintain that 1MPH speed, spend more fuel, go faster, win.
Also, you do need a certain velocity to escape Earth's gravity, if you managed to somehow get into Low Earth Orbit at 1MPH you would simply fall like a stone back into the Earth. If you achieve escape velocity however, you can maintain an orbit around the planet.
Something tells me you're not an aerospace engineer.
That's not necessarily true, the longer people live,the more money they take from social security and the more people we need to prop up that pyramid scheme.

Last I checked, Japan attacked the USA in WW2 for stopping oil exports.

I wouldn't say 250billion, don't forget, Chinese labor is cheap.

Since when is a question considered "putting words into someones mouth?"

15 billion is all it takes to bankrupt Italy?
Religious nut? I'm an Atheist myself!

Yes, you probably know this already.

You atheists seem to be a very hostile and angry group yourselves!
What ever happened to "live and let live"?

Yes, all those private rich dudes who have hundreds of billions to spend on space rockets over the course of 10+ years. All 3 of them.
That's not necessarily true, the longer people live,the more money they take from social security and the more people we need to prop up that pyramid scheme.
Except in this case, the entirety of the USA and it's circle of allies is the rich, and the rest of the world is the poor.
Yes, statistics and facts are nothing compared to your anecdotes.
Where's the -5 "Not Funny" moderation?
Yes I realize that. I work in manufacturing doing automation work as an engineer. We do today with 5 people what used to take 20-15 people.
Oh the arrogance! You must know a lot I bet!
