There's nothing particularly WRONG with them, they just show an extremely biased opinion in the column writer.

| Quote (CatKnight @ 08 June 2002,15:47) | | Wiley, how has NASA outperformed ILS? |
Um ...because you didn't even know a private space program existed until I posted one. The NASA brand name alone is worth more then the profit ILS brings in. These days the price of a companies stock is traded more on brand recognition and market saturation then actual bottom line. NASA also has more launches per year and more launch sites. Next do you want me to argue with you that McDonald's outperforms Hotdog-on-a-stick?
| Quote | | In case you were wondering, this is exactly the reason why I'm not really motivated to argue here any more. All you guys do is bash and flame and misquote and flame, etc. I've given up trying to reason with you because you are so closed-minded. |
You have never argued here ...you only state your opinion as fact and say anything anybody else posts is wrong. Closed-minded? Jumping Jesus on a pogo-stick, how can you call anybody closed minded? I have never once seen you accept a fact that opposes one of your opinions.
Just one of many examples: You say that the government can never run a program as successful as a private industry (your opinion) and challenge us to name one. I say that it can (my opinion) and I name one (fact). You discredit my finding because you don't count a program without a private industry equivalent. Fine, I find a government program that has outside competition. You discredit this because there is a grey area as to how we are defining success ...though I do think that it is pretty clear that NASA has a far more successful space program then the ILS (my opinion). But if we need to clarify it further then just let me know what facts you would like to use to judge success. Then it will be crystal clear in everybody’s mind that Your Opinion that I am arguing is not factually sound.
Though somehow I doubt you will ever accept those facts ...yet you have the nerve to call others closed-minded?

I've noticed that it's almost impossible to get into one of these debates unless you were there at the beginning. While I'd like to put my 2c in, I'm not sure where the debate stands.

Beldurin,
It's just like jumping onto a moving train ...run like hell, close your eyes and jump. Then you get to laugh at all the people who just aren't quick enough and get grinded up by the spinning wheels.
Just keep in mind that the last time I was wrong the ...wait ...I've never been wrong ...scratch that last part.

did anyone watch Saturday Night Live last night? they had a skit making fun of The O'Reilly Factor. it reminded me of CatKnight so much I damn near died laughing.
Scientist: So we've discovered greenhouse gases like CO2 on top of...
O'Reilly: Hold it! CO2?
Scientist: Yes. Carbon dioxide.
O'Reilly: I'm not buying it.
Scientist: You're not buying what?
O'Reilly: Well, C is carbon, and O is oxygen. And my gut tells me those two are never going to get together to make "CO2."
Scientist: But it's a well-known fact!
O'Reilly: I'm still not buying it. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
Scientist: Uh... OK. Well, as I said, we found this "CO2" on top of Mount Everest.
O'Reilly: And you say this "Mount Everest" is the tallest mountain in the world?
Scientist: Yes...
O'Reilly: I'm not buying it.
Scientist: Uh, what's the tallest mountain in the world then?
O'Reilly: Space Mountain.
Scientist: (blank stare)
etc.

we don't need to provoke him, he gets all worked up enough on his own.

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

Bill O'Reiley is just like that. After 9/11, a lawyer for three firemen who were having a dispute over a statue was his guest. Bill denied that Fox News paid royalties to the photographer of a picture shown. The lawyer had the most priceless face. It was a combination of "how can you be so stupid?" and "god, I want to throttle you!" with a little "how did you get your own SHOW?" thown in on the side. It's fun to watch that show to see what kind of idiotic things he says.
Too bad he's on during Star Trek. *click*
