if our economic system weren't designed to funnel 95% of the nation's wealth into 5% of its population, we could have a base orbiting jupiter, feed the world's poor AND have done away with disease altogether

hey, it could happen

how do you figure that logic??

you realize it's rich ppl that create most of the jobs the rest of the population has...

also, space > healthcare. the planets gonna rot away eventually. then all the free healthcare in the world wont be able to save a single person.. go get a job with benefits, dirty complaining hippies

yeah, lets spend all our money focusing on a distant future date that the planet will "rot away" on, while totally ignoring the real issues that face humans TODAY.

your post, its not serious is it?

toastyroach · 10-21-2009, 05:42 PM

rich people INVEST there money in / create companies which create jobs and employ people. it's really not that complicated dude

'spend all our money'... lol... exaggerate much huh... if you're worried about goverment overspending why dont u bitch about something legitimate like war and corruption, not the fucking space program

C_ka · 10-21-2009, 06:08 PM

space exploration should be at least as importent as health care,

and way more importent then war

need both short term and long term goals.

(moonweed being short term)

Theres more than one way to skin a cat, or however that saying goes...

Wealthy elite taking the vast majority of the worlds wealth is not necessary for people to have jobs, really.

But meh, bitching on a pot smokers website aint gonna change that.

I say jib the wars in the east and spend the money on moon base alpha, so we can sample the delights of killer moon skunk and lunar hash supplied by Ferengi spaceweed dealers.

John F. Kerry · 10-21-2009, 10:00 PM

im all for doing shit on earth too.

nasas budget is like 15 billion a year.

if u ask me it should be 50 billion a year-

and thats only like 1/10th of what the healthcare nightmare bill would cost.

so space costs so little compared to other shit for what we get out of it.

i mean it costs a lot to build a spaceship - but we dont need to build more than a few - healthcare we would need to provide for millions and millions so altho it might seem at first blush like it shouldnt cost as much clearly space couldnt cost nearly as much as huge social welfare entitlement programs....

if u want a perfect example of a country that totally screwed itself with the "it would be better spent on earth" bulshit look at the UK- they had a satelite launcher called blue streak and were probably some of the best engineers of space tech in the world. until socialist labor party policies took away all their funding and gave it to add another month of welfare benefits and as a result britain has NO space program today....

even the french who continued on with their program in the face of it not seemingly commerically viable, they ended up making a lot of money with their space launcher and the ESA would have been far more british influenced if they hadnt let the french do it mostly on their own...

so in the end, space rocks so fucking much that when i hear people talk about how we should be ending Nasa to fund a welfare payment it makes me alternatively laugh and want to bash some sense into those peoples thick skulls with a brick.

u realize that the reason the world is at peace today is basically because we won the space race and then joined with the enemy to do even greater space feats together....space is like the savior of mankind in the way it brought us together and lifted our aspirations as a global race.

too expensive, not worth it? ha u have no idea.

you do realize that small/mid-sized business owners employ the vast majority of people in our country, and that even highly successful small business owners are nowhere near that 5% that controls 95% of our nation's wealth. . . right? so the people who create all our jobs aren't getting the money, and they're not being invested in. they're borrowing from banks that that 5% controls, at interest, funneling more money into the pockets of the super-rich and diminishing their hiring potential. your view is nearly as distorted as our slow buddy jwonder

and for the record i love nasa, but anything said about its cost (or the cost of instating a public healthcare option for that matter) is a moot point because our war operations of the past decade could fund it for years and years to come. so kindly stfu j you insipid cunt

Errr, a little simplistic there I'd say.

Blue streak was a ballistic missile launcher for nuclear weapons... got cancelled because domestic problems is more important than nukes.

The first stage was modified and used to launch sattelites for the Europa programme which was a collaberation between UK, France and Germany.

Plus I still maintain that real problems on planet earth are more important than the space travel fantasies of rich peeps... as interesting and eventually necessary they may be... I can't remember anyone having died cos they couldn't get to the moon.

I'm not gonna sit here and pick apart your argument, although I could.. (your statistics are fucked)

What I'm curious is how you think that there's any better system then capitalism. Other countries have tried the socialism and communism thing, its all a scam where people pretend to work and the goverment pretends to pay. Bottom line is, nothings stopping you from going out and becoming rich. lol @ you lazy bummy ass fools thinking that 'the man is keeping you down'... Go tell Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey that they can't make money because the super rich are keeping them down... so are you saying people who earned their money the hard way (or their ancestors) should have to distribute it to niggers? You do realize that taxing the rich is a BAD thing for the economy because they will go somewhere else to found a company and employ people, right?

btw, do you even know where these small business get their money? i dont feel like googling but I'd bet much of it comes from venture capitalists, private equity firms, etc.... and BTW, even Bank Debt is securitized and bought up by all types of SUPER RICH investors... hedge funds fucking love that shit... do you really have any idea how the economy works? or are you just pissed off that you couldn't get a decent job that had benefits?

Waves · 10-22-2009, 05:39 PM

1- how do you go from

"rich people are the ones creating all the jobs"

to

"ok well name a better system than capitalism"

that logic fails me.

2- the whole point of human evolution is to find better systems, more efficient ways of doing things. its not something one person can sit down and create. it takes thousands of years of cultural adaptation and change to come up with economic systems. i couldnt tell you a system thats better than capitalism any better than some dude from the dark ages could tell you of a system better than feudalism.

yet newer better systems just keep popping up!

...do you think capitalism is going to be around forever or what?

Waves · 10-22-2009, 05:41 PM

"btw, do you even know where these small business get their money?"

from the banks dweeb

no it's not the reason you dumb fucking chimp wanna be.

Space race = media front of the ICBM race YOU DUMB FUCK. There was never anything to gain by landing on the moon itsfuckinself. It was the weapons, the satellites, all the technology and thus deterrence that was born from that.

Do you think deterrence no longer exists? Do you think that if, and this applies to every superpower there is, we could dominate that we wouldn't. And by 'we' I certainly do not mean you, but the conglomerate you've been birthed and raised into.

Sorry.. oh and the world's not at peace. If you think that.. well.. you just shouldn't talk any more.

This, right here. A key function in contemporary slavery. Everyone lives to pay a debt that can never be paid because it is designed to be impossible...because all the money that exists is, in fact, already debt. Money is the tool to keep you all doing what the powerful want you to do; stay put, stay weak.

its all good though the peons are waking up slowly but surely and soon we will have them EXACTLY WHERE WE WANT THEM
