Just give them a few more years to really get the bugs out and crank that sucker up to 200%! :evil:

I won't bother to point out those quacks you are refering to were some of the atomic scientists who thought the atomic explosion might just cause that out of control chain reaction.

ok?

What are you talking about? There are none of the people from the Manhattan Project working on this (I'm not even sure if they're alive). And to point out- if we didn't make the A-Bomb, Germany would have, and we'd all be living in a Jewish Free world government with required moring Hitler worship services.

Once you get to a certain level of chance, it's the same as saying "no chance". Go take your meds.

The problem is scientists accept no responsibility for the technology they give us, or rather the taxpayers pay for. The military industrial complex is the benificiary of all this wasted taxpayer money 99% of the time. Then the private corporate sector gets all the patents and rights for taxpayer funded research projects. So the taxpayers get screwed that same 99% of the time, in the process.

All that pie in the sky feel good for humanity science community research BS is just that. You can paint as many smiley faces on the atomic bombs as you want to, the deadly effects are still the same. This large hadron collider project is 100% military in nature. But the scientists consider themselves civilians. So what?

The only way mankind will benefit at all from this project, is if the scientists destroy themselves in the process. I just hope they are not stupid enough to take us with it. But we will see. Give them a few years to tweak it a bit first. Then, once they get too cocky and careless, KERPOW!

And using the stupid fire and cave analogies made by various posters is a pretty weak juvenile argument to try to excuse scientific research for the obvious purposes of weaponizing and enslaving mankind, not helping it.

Holy shit you're an idiot. Go back to your Monster Cable.

well its not a suprise he fell for this. after all he beleives monsters marketing hook line and sinker.

Jeff7 said:
You probably are in favor of making firearms illegal, too. After all, the gun manufacturers give us weapons, with minimal responsibility for the technology they give us.
Alcohol manufacturers, too. They give us the stuff, they're not responsible for what we do with it. Anything made by anyone that could possibly be dangerous should be outlawed, unless the company sends a representative out to babysit you, so that you won't get hurt by their product.

Feeling a flair for the dramatic are we? How comforting of you to assume wrongly on my behalf. I hardly consider Star Wars in the same category as a firearm or alcohol. For one thing weaponizing space is ethically wrong, and for another it is intended to be a first strike weapon and not a defensive weapon. And the Russians and Chinese rightly characterize it as such.

This was the only comment I felt worth replying to you about. The rest of your terse response was mostly continued failure on your part to stop swinging that sharp stick around and laughably trying to compare it with mankind destroying technology like nukes. Let's compare a spark to a quasar, next, ok? Just for stupid arguments sake. After all, this IS ATOT. We wouldn't expect any less of you, all of the sudden, now would we? :cool:

I never said anything about the people working for CERN were the same old geezers working for the Manhattan project. And I didn't see him post that, either. That wasn't implied from what I read or posted.

I would recommend taking your own advice. But you can pass me a few pills when they finally fire this thing up, they must be strong! ;)

I am merely expressing my opinion that you don't know what you're talking about.

But it's entertaining, so please keep talking.

I found the original article entertaining, and more than a few others must have as well. :gift:

But I have the super deluxe strangelet tinfoil propeller hat on Jeff7 made for me, just in case! :light:

Jmman made me one too, but it was too tight. I have a big head. :evil:

So I let Fritzo wear it. ;)

Your inability to respond to, let alone comprehend, the technical arguments presented to you doesn't help your case.

I dare say you're making a fool out of yourself.

Your only retorts seem to come out of the "Lame joke" category.

But since I chopped it off on the chainsaw, I just use gag eyeglasses with a nose attached now.

How does a Swedish chainsaw correlate to a Swiss particle accelerator?

The war with Germany was over by the time our bombs were built, and the Japanese had no kind of A-bomb program at all. Also, the Germans were probably a number of years away from building a bomb, and that's if they weren't getting owned by the Allies on all fronts.

Also, Godwin's law.

I bolded what I was replying to above. You said that those people and the present people are the same. When we first split the atom, the scientists were afraid of an out of control nuclear reaction. Maybe you were thinking about another time when they were worried about this?

Most posters here in OT only reply to a post to be a smart ass in the first place. Google it, link it, and/or cut and past it, then add witty retorts and/or lame insults to any other poster who dares to express an opinion someone might not agree with. This passes for 90% of the content on OT. Or hadn't you noticed? I guess you had noticed, since you are now doing this yourself. :roll:

If you look at some of the braniac posters posts here, they pretend they are the Merlin's, Leonardo's and Einstein's of our time. Funny how there's so darn many multifaceted self promoting geniuses out there with so much free time to post crap, and no one ever heard of any of them. But that's OT for you. Enjoy. ;)

OP's should be held to a bit of a higher standard, IMO.

You started the discussion, but now spout nonsensical ramblings instead of intelligently considering counterpoints made by others.

What was your point in creating this thread if you didn't want to have a real discussion? Just clamoring for attention?

And yet, all you can muster are lame jokes and swedish genital chainsaws.

Methinks you know nothink of ze original topic (save the URL for that article).

I was solely referring to his statement about the quacks and the first atomic explosion, I was not replying about the idiots and the collider, at all. And I had someone else read this over my shoulder, and they didn't see the inference you implied, either.

No, but most posters are, obviously. Why should I respond to idiotic responses in a reasonable manner? :confused:

I responded to any comment that I felt I disagreed with or needed a response. If you can't take a little sugar with your salt, that's a personal problem I can't fix.

What did Waggy and Potted Meat contribute here about my Monster cables? I didn't even respond to their thread stalking me about it. But you certainly are not calling them out for being thread crapping tards who contribute nothing but derision here because I got Monster cables for the price of Monoprice. OH NO! I like Sharp and HD DVD, too! OMG! I'm some kind of freakish humpbacked beast! :Q

Higher standards indeed.

You don't respond to anything in a reasonable manner.

Prove me wrong. Show us how the any particle accelerator research has ever been weaponized?
Show us how CERN is a military experiment?

Once we move past those basics, perhaps we can get you to address the issues of Hawking Radiation on extremely small gravitational singularities.

DOOMSDAY FEARS SPARK LAWSUIT

Obviously some people are worried enough about it to sue over it.

I am not your physics professor. I posted an article you either agree with, or disagree with. Obviously most posters here disagree with it, including myself. I made my feelings quite clear on the matter. I do not have to repeat myself in every post. Read the entire thread.

I also do not have to respond to every poster who cuts and pastes google searches about it that I either A: Agree with or B: Know nothing about.

If someone posts a funny comment, I also have every right to respond to it, or not. I obviously don't carry a stick up my ass as far as most of you obviously do. That's a personal problem you have to deal with, not me.
