Re: Curiosity has landed

Sorry to bust your delusional bubble, you have an issue with the Government giving 2 Billion to Nasa to go to Mars, I don't. There are no issues in MY head as far as the title of the thread goes "Curiosity has landed", but there sure are issues swirling in your head to draw parallels to hungry people.

Seriously, quit while you're still ahead.

There is nothing to be ahead of. You are right about me having issues with money I think could be balanced better in it's spending, but you seem to be taking it very personally . That is your issue.

Re: Curiosity has landed

My own charity work is my own business. Are you comparing my personal finances to those of Nasa and world governments?

Re: Curiosity has landed

I don't agree with oscene amount of money thrown at the olympics either

Have the 2012 London olympics (to which the chart refers) been goin on since 1800s ? No

Is it possible to hold a sports event without having done it before? Yes
Is it possible to just fly to mars with no space travel experience? No

If you want to draw a parallel to the fact that cumulative space research over 60 years has yielded to the ability to flying to Mars with an additional expense of 2 Billion on the Curiosity mission, then be fair and consider how much has been cumulatively expended towards the Olympics since the 1800s. Yes you don't need to have a prior held sports event, in order to hold it this time, but to spend on it again and again and again is far more senseless than just winging out a space mission on the first shot. And then if you pie-chart the expenses towards each Olympics from the date of inception, that should give you an answer with sufficient zeros to feed the world over.

You made this an issue , as I said it's all about balance. You are arguing issues that are in YOUR head not mine.

Re: Curiosity has landed

Do you come on here just to make your halo shine brighter? You sound like the Priest who taught me Moral Science in middle school. I do my share of charity as and when I can, but I have never ever ever had the need to make myself sound morally poetic and come on a forum and ridicule a healthy yet unrelated discussion.

And you're calling me out for accusing? I fail to see the accusation in my statement, in fact I'm simply defending a position which seems to have been taken on by you and a few others that is seemingly less important than feeding the needy. I sure see the point of not highlighting the good that you do in real life, on a music site, but then again, I have continuously failed to see your need to decidedly and deliberately badger a position that goes beyond your sense of reason, on a music site. Rather hypocritical don't you think? The word Troll jumps to mind rather aptly.

If hunger bugs you, start a different thread, don't try to drown every thread with your dilemmas.

And honey, if you've missed the gravy train already, money is the common denominator for EVERY SINGLE THING in this world, including you finding a way into this thread to make your point.

Just as Tiddles pointed out in his link, the logical deduction you can make by reading that page is that science in itself is meaningful. Rather oxymoronic to try and point out the difference. Just because you don't have the vision or have yet to experience the benefits of the purpose of the project, doesn't mean it isn't useful by any stretch of the imagination.

Smart minds at NASA have contributed their fair share of discoveries to the common man, just because you have yet to experience some of the products of their inventions doesn't make them any less useful to mankind.

Boy if the 2.4 Billion Dollar Curiosity expedition bugs you, then the 8.4 Billion Dollar LHC experiments must really get your goat, and little do you know that if you have ever had an MRI (or any other form or resonance imaging), you have already reaped the real world benefits of it.

So yes, please continue, let's argue with each other over hunger and diminish the incredible work that the incredible minds on this planet continue to do in the name of science.

You made this an issue , as I said it's all about balance. You are arguing issues that are in YOUR head not mine.

Re: Curiosity has landed

Relevant to my point how?

[Kamal]

Re: Curiosity has landed

The olympics have been in play since the late 1800s chief. 3 times longer than space missions and once every 4 years. Let's Pie-Chart that.

[bobjuice]

Re: Curiosity has landed

The pie chart is a little vague in that it chooses to ignore the multi billion pound budgets of previous space expeditions and the investment in the space program over a period of 60 odd years, without which the mars mission wouldn't have been possible

Re: Curiosity has landed

its funny how ppl always have an opinion about something they know shit about

hunger? google "sponsor a child"
how many of you actually do anything?

it pisses me off bc you guys dont do shit but youre first in line to argue about anything there is to argue about
i dont usually participate in arguments and i wont in this one either

go out in the world, make tons of money and do something you want to argue about with it
geez

marry me

Re: Curiosity has landed

Hahaha!! You do realise you are doing what you are accusing others of doing. No comparison?? What is the common denominator between space exploration an starving people. ?? Money.

So of us aren't hypocrites , we do actually do things, it is a part of our life, we don't feel the need to inappropriately boast about it on music sites.

Last time I looked dying was not considered as moving forward with life, and too many people are doing just that and in ways most of can't imagine. Real progress is about using all this amazing knowledge in a way that benefits ALL . We seem to have some consensus on this. I like the way trick put it.

Just for the record, It's the balance of the way that the money is spent that I object to. We humans need art, adventure, space travel, and of course music of all kinds etc. to inspire us. But we do need to care about our fellow human beings better.
