I would like to draw your attention to a specific man. Albert Einstein. A German and father to Nuclear energy and the Atomic bomb. The Nuclear reactor itself and the components for it was developed all around the world and the first Nuclear power plant was built in Russia. Its clear as day that whatever development America did was not a critical discovery meaning it was going to be rapidly discovered by someone else if America had not gotten to it first. If anything America might have saved a year or two of time and I am being generous here.
I'm not bored enough to deal with the rest of your false statements but I loved the one above. Perhaps you could detail exactly what role Albert Einstein played in the Manhattan Project? To make it a little easier for you to answer this question I am providing a link to the wikipedia article. When you are finished reading that, please continue on to the list of sources and references at the bottom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_ProjectDo a word search for Albert and you will find that they got his singature as support to even start the project. Its under the fucking "origins" for crying out loud. Ever heard of E=MC^2? Yeah... He is the father of Fission (manhattan project and beyond) and Fusion (the next generation of nuclear power plants) and the person that bound the world of energy to the world of matter. He is the single most important person in the invention of the Nuke. How more clear do i have to be? Amazing. All that emotion and yet not any clear understanding of the question much less an accurate answer. ALL that he did was sign a letter, written by someone else. The Manhattan Project was not done when the ink dried on AE's signature. To credit AE with building the atomic bomb ignores a vast amount of work that was done to move from theory to practice. Perhaps you have heard of the man who provides us this quote: “In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.” ― Albert Einstein So which isotope separation scheme did AE develop? Which bomb design did he work on? How many times did he visit Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, or even Alamogordo? What? The "Father of the Atom Bomb" some dude named J. Robert Oppenheimer?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_OppenheimerWTF dude, how did that happen? BTW, who is this dude Enrico Fermi? He seems to have gotten his name down for "Father of the nuclear reactor." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_FermiLooks like that second rate education they pass out in US high schools glossed over a few pertinent facts. I kind of find it insulting that you think I am from America. I wonder if that is wrong of me? Speaking of which you mentioned something about not understanding the question. Did it ever strike your mind that perhaps you did not understand my answer? “In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.” If all he had to do was sign a letter why did it have to be Albert Einstein? It was not the act of signing the letter which was important but his signing that it was possible. You asked me what role he played. He was the one that gave them the idea and showed them how. You mentioned something about the large amount of work involved in developing the nuke and its true... Allot of GRUNT work. What they did was nothing really spectacular just something that had to be done at some point or another. You cant pretend that it required a genius to work from where Albert Einstein and those who came after him had left off. You know what else? Albert Einstine was even the guy that warned the allies that Germany might develop a nuke and suggested that they would start a similar program.. Which became the manhattan project. Good job on making yourself out to be a fool. I see. You are shown to be wrong on your "father of the nuke" claim with references to the two men who _are_ the father of the atom bomb and nuclear reactor respectively. You are provided a quote by Albert Einstein which demonstrates HIS understanding of the great effort needed to move from theory to practice, yet you profess it was simply some mechanics playing with monkey wrenches. You seem to be convinced that if you stand there and claim you are right, it will become true. Do you wonder why I think you are a product of a US high school? I figured anyone that ignorant of facts had to be a victim of the US education system since we have been informed in the very thread that everything evil, bad and wrong comes from the US. Now you are going to tell me there is a place worse than the US? That won't be well received around here. |

Yep. Looks like they might be able to put a floating dock alongside with an accom ladder up to that door. Of course that precludes steaming in figure eights.
If there's a steady current, the this sort of steaming requires only minor course changes and no turning of 180. Let the current push you back a mile, steam forward a mile and back into center, power off, drift back a mile, correct course back to center, engine off, drift back a mile, etc. Iirc, the current off California flows generally south, so assuming they'd faith a southerly current almost continually they'd be pointing the boat north permanently to do a figure-eight pattern. That might preclude a traditional dock, but there may be ways around that too yet unthought of. Yes, there is a current. See this website: http://hfradar.ndbc.noaa.gov/index.php?s=46247The past 25 hour average is 13.1 cm/s at 031 degrees. That is 0.47km/h or about 1/4 of a knot. If they used the "drift and drive" technique you propose, they would drift for 20 hours for every one hour spent steaming at 5 knots. Perhaps this is not as effective a method as it might have seemed. Again, I offer the viewpoint that nothing is easy on the sea. If it was, I would not be paid as well as I am to go to sea. |

First we're going to need girls. 1/10 or less girl population doesn't sound really good.
"Build it and they will come" suddenly has a seamy connotation. I wouldn't hold your breath for real live women to come. Might I suggest inflatable women? That way if one needed to get off the island one could lash their harem together to fashion a raft...and as a bonus, have a way to kill time the long float. I would expect real men to get inflatable sheep.  |

I still don't see a place to moor my yacht when I stop by for breakfast on my way to San Francisco. Looks like there is a door on the side toward the rear. snipped image Yep. Looks like they might be able to put a floating dock alongside with an accom ladder up to that door. Of course that precludes steaming in figure eights. The figure eight steaming is a requirement for the fin stabilizers to work well enough to mitigate the anticipated ship motion due to sea state. They will probably need to maintain a forward motion of at least 5 knots to get sufficient reaction force off the stabilizers for them to be effective. This will be fun to watch.  |

"Because of Iceland's geographical location there was no threat of foreign invasion, so the demand for a national military force was absent. "
Seems like the existence of the "other" always brings about the creation of military force and a government.

1. Billy the Kid ran out the Illuminati by starting a war against the corrupt "Justice System" where the people were literally shooting at cops.

Don't you think the Illuminati might return if they see you building a community designed to overthrow them? |

I wonder when Blueseed intends to put this ship into service. Currently it is still possible to book a cruise in the Med on the MS Island Escape for the summer of 2014. http://www.thomson.co.uk/cruise/itineraries/glitz-and-glamour-itinerary.htmlThat implies MS Island Escape won't be on station until the Fall of 2014. The weather usually holds until mid December. Could be an interesting winter. I still don't see a place to moor my yacht when I stop by for breakfast on my way to San Francisco. For that matter, it is not obvious how they plan to do underway replenishment (UNREP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underway_replenishment ). Cruise ships are not built for that. |

So the basic thrust of your arguement is US forces had self-exploding tanks, bombers who could not hit a beach, and generally incompetent leadership. I believe you also ranted about WWI helmets, ugly casualty rates, fire bombing of cities, atomic weapons and fearsome enemies flying bamboo airplanes.
So, if the US forces were as incompetent as described why do the WWII nations of Germany, Italy, Japan and USSR no longer exist?
Seems to me that despite all the faults, failures and just plain incompetence that you have so carefully located, the US soldier, sailor, airman and Marine simply kicked ass. Something about being willing to say "NUTS".
So my question still remains.
Why should the US protect Europe, Japan, Taiwan or Korea? Why should the US protect the Middle East oil fields when the majority of that product goes to Europe, Japan, and China? What does the US care if heating oil prices in Europe skyrocket?
If you really think the US is going to get involved in your WW3 scenarios, you better explain why the US will be interested.
Actually if oil prices in Europe skyrocketed due to being cut off for example the american based oil producers would simply prioritize selling to Europe. Free market and all that so of course they will sell where they get the most profit. Its also fun how you always expect that everyone wants your help and you base that on WW2.... when the whole world had to band together against Germany.... Which is in Europe.... And is currently a much nicer country then America ever was.... I honestly dont see a problem with the Atlantic Ocean being between us right now. Could perhaps have been wider but one can dream. I gave you ample evidence on Americas lack of morals, leadership, preparedness, priorities, realistic view point and training. The fact that you exist and X country dont has nothing to do with your "greatness" and you just claiming it is outright childish. A country does not need to be successful or unique in any way to persist. Cant you see how silly you are going "haha we lived longer then youuuu"? You claim that Germany, Italy and Japan does no longer exist? They are far greater now then they ever were. Who do you think is leading the world in stuff like Technology, economy and social development? Who the heck needs oil when we get our electricity from green energy combined with nuclear power plants? I believe USA will be the one to START WW3. No one else seams to bother except some arab countries that have not had peace since they invented the stick. The Germany, Italy and Japan that started WW2 no longer exist. What we now call Germany, Italy and Japan exist by the efforts of those Americans whose morals, leadership, preparedness, priorities, realistic viewpoint and training you question. Yes, I have been in Germany, Italy and Japan. The US funded reconstruction did wonders. The US funded protection from encroaching powers provided an opportunity for these nations become strong again. If you really want to see the value the US provided to those nations, take a wander through, East Germany, Czech, Slovak, Poland and Hungary. (Yes, I have.) There you will see what happened when the morally bankrupt, incompetent, etc Americans were not around to make it all better. Your fear that the US will start WW3 is, IMHO, unfounded. Historically, the US is an isolationist country with strong internal pressures to disarm. You pointed that out quite correctly with your observations regarding exploding tanks, crappy equipment and poor training. If the US were intent on conquering the world, we would be paying a little more attention to the military forces needed. Right now, in fact, the US military is downsizing. Our nuclear weapon stockpiles are being reduced. Our manning levels in all the services are being cut. Now, I am sure you can come up with some way that points to the US getting ready for WW3. BTW, I am delighted that you take such joy in using the peaceful nuclear technology developed by your friends, the Americans. As someone who spent my first years as an adult operating a nuclear reactor, I have always felt we have not benefited enough from that technology. Back on topic, bitcoin will only be useful post WW3 if there is enough of the internet left to serve all those who want to use bitcoin. Since we have not yet reached agreement on what WW3 would look like, it is foolish to attempt to answer the question. |

MNW's promise was that he will give 100% ROI if pirate defaults. When pirate officially defaulted, he has broken his promise.
Compare to a bunch of tokens / IOUs which has zero terms. No contract unlike MNW, end of story. If I said that I would redeem those for actual BTC, and did not specify a time, then it would have to be a reasonable amount of time.
TF may not meet the definition of "scammer" for the forum. I have other words to describe his actions and the person that would take those actions. None of them are suitable for print. |

Here's a quick answer to Tom, with a cool video. More answers to come! I am concerned about your "30 minute ferry" from Half Moon Bay. That requires a ferry that travels an average of 24 knots. Add in delays for clearing Half Mood Bay harbor and you are looking at a vessel that can transit some pretty rough water at 25+ knots. Last time I was in Half Moon Bay it did not seem like a good place for a vessel that large. Have a look at the Nauti-Craft Marine Suspension Systems ferry. Here's a cool video; the comparison with the monohull at 2:05 is awesome. If scaled 2X, it would work very well for us. Alternatively, a fleet of several of them at the current scale would be great too. Looks like a fun ride. I would be curious to see what their maintenance requirements are with all those moving parts that are exposed to salt spray. I would have expected a move toward http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-waterplane-area_twin_hull for improved sea keeping. It is passively stable instead of actively stable. The potential speed gain of the Suspension Craft compared to the SWATH vessel is mitigated by long period swells that generate heave at higher speeds. This project will be interesting to watch. Still curious how I'm supposed to tie up my sailboat when I stop by for lunch. |

Remind me again how much of that food power you got there that is actually consumed by people and not wasted on cattle? Figure it out for yourself.
Regarding the Oil. Perhaps I was wrong about the supply but you will still run into allot of problems trust me.
So rather than reference any kind of fact, you are asking me to take your word? 
Alright *Cracks his fingers* What was the largest role America played during WW2? What is the role we have to thank you for? The arms dealer. You took the money, produced the weapons and equipment then got rich. Fair enough. But what have you to be proud of? That your troops arrived to Europe equipped for WW1? That some of your troops had British tin can helmets from WW1 all through WW2? The "Ronson" tank that never failed to light up after the first strike? There are plenty of stories of how entrenched Germans only got overwhelmed because you had more burning tanks then they had anti tank rounds.
You hardly got involved on the West front and even then the war was on the East front with 80 to 65% of the Nazi army fighting the Russians (the number went down when they got crushed and moved a bit to engage the west)
Then we have the "largest naval war" in WW2... In a land based conquest thats not a very hard title to get btw so good job. Your navy and air force fiercely engaged crazy Japanese soldiers with planes made out of wood. Seriously aside from their navy and motivation there was nothing exceptional about the Japanese during WW2 and dont come to me with the kamikaze bullshit. All it did was give you 3 hours of repair woopdedooo. Then you became the first country to use a Nuke (2 to be exact) against another country. On hindsight not that great of an idea if you ask me MR annihilator of citizens. Seriously talk about throwing stones in a glass house with the accusations against nazi war crimes.
Shall i go on? Perhaps you want to talk about Omaha beach? How about the golden age after the war fueled from the spoils of war? Id love to talk about how you fire bombed cities also.
Feel free to continue. The occasional source document would improve your presentation. Just keep speaking English since it proves my point every time you open your mouth. Here, let me help you with that rant...  |

Good points; hell, America has so much food, it has to burn it; it even pays farmers to stop farming, because there's too much fucking food. But if America was cut off from China, who would make all those little plastic figurines? Not a problem. We cut off food and oil imports to China until they give us as many of those little plastic figurines as we want. This points out how easy that would be.  |

Actually we got an eagle already. The Black Eagle that almost conquered the world during WW2 and WW1. Germany. Besides dont get me started on what America did and did not do during WW2. I dont want to crush your dreams.
The thing is... No one hates us so why would we be attacked? On the other hand everyone hates you so your a prime target. Remember 9/11? Yeah... your the one they want.
You are welcome to submit to that black eagle again, if that is your preference. As for my dreams about what America did and did not do during WW2, bring it on. You might be surprised about my knowledge of military history. Not just US military history but world military history. Let's just call it a hobby of mine. I remember 9/11. The fact that the US is targeted by terrorists correlates with the US being involved in the world "over there". No US presence, no US target. Tell me again, why should those "merikans" save your ass the next time it is in a sling? |
