What about freedom FROM religion?

You've been Sybil'd. LOL

Does anyone besides me think Sybil can't leave his "home" without an escort?

How many nutjobs would there be on JPP if their socks were banned?
Mason

Explain precisely how American private industry strictly on it's own initiative and vision would have taken it upon themselves to organize, plan, and execute an Apollo mission to the Moon, a rover mission to Mars, a New Horizons mission to Pluto.

I'm going teach you two new words: 1. Pivot, 2. Question

Pivot: to abruptly abandon a topic upon realizing that you have lost the point, and starting a new point while giving the appearance of seamless continuity.

Question: the interrogative statement.

In our discussion, you are supposed to be explaining your understanding that NASA somehow performs the engineering and building of space launch vehicles instead of the commercial firms with whom NASA contracts to accomplish that.

Instead of providing this explanation, or admitting that you sadly bought into some seriously bogus disinformation about NASA, you PIVOTTED to a completely unrelated topic via a QUESTION about whether private sector firms would otherwise do work for the government for free if the government weren't paying them.

Could you return to the main point and explain how specifically NASA government employees engineer and build launch vehicles, being the science visionaries that they are?

It always saddens me when the terminally cowardly inevitably revert to discussions of banning those who are not totally stupid and who make them feel threatened, and of censoring the horrifyingly different perspectives instead of learning to deal with them.

I can only imagine your pain.

The Gestapo thinks that the "see-through" socks that I wear with summer suits ought to be banned.
I have no idea why.

I accept your tacit confession that you were lying your flabby ass off that NASA supposedly doesn't do engineering, development, design, assembly.

NASA doesn't engineer anything. They have no visionaries.

Nope. He's NOT the delusional crackpot who thinks NASA is staffed, not by government bureaucrats, but by engineers and scientists who engineer build space launch vehicles ...but you get two more guesses.

This is another pivot. You didn't seize the opportunity to independently research the truth about what you have been led to believe by your thought-masters about NASA. You simply OBEYED orders to follow the playbook for this situation. You regurgitated a list of facilities in lieu of providing the explanation you were on tap to provide.

So, tell me, who specifically does what specifically in those facilities?

 

[Cypress]

So you're the kind of person who can't admit you were wrong, or apologize for lying your flabby ass off that NASA supposedly doesn't do engineering, development, design, assembly.

We have already exhaustively covered your inability to read. You are still on tap to state who specifically does what specifically in those facilities?

Don't post links. I already know that the required information will not be at the other end and I won't waste my time. You can copy-paste what you wish to pretend is the right information into this thread for everyone to read, except for you, because you can't read.

It always saddens me when the terminally cowardly inevitably revert to discussions of banning those who are not totally stupid and who make them feel threatened, and of censoring the horrifyingly different perspectives instead of learning to deal with them.

I can only imagine your pain.

Are you saying people who don't have socks are "totally stupid"?

The only pain I feel is yours, Sybil. You're the one who needs three different socks to make one personality.

Do you know any psychological or psychiatric terms which would cover such people?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

The Gestapo thinks that the "see-through" socks that I wear with summer suits ought to be banned.
I have no idea why.

Why would someone be looking at your socks?

In the mid-90s I was walking with a female work friend in the MIA terminal. It was a slight ramp down off a half-level when I noticed a well-built 30-40something Latina in skimpy summer clothes and 6-inch Killer heels.

My friend noticed too and said "those heels are all wrong for that outfit."

Slightly astounded, I turned to her and said, "Not a single man in this terminal is looking at her heels. Well, maybe not the gays. We're looking at how it makes her ass move."

 

[IBDaMann]

Are you saying people who don't have socks are "totally stupid"?

Terry, do you feel that being able to moan in two tones is a sign of intelligence?

The only pain I feel is yours, Sybil.

Not even that. You only have a brain stem, Terry. You don't have the capacity to feel your own pain, much less anyone else's. But I'll have the nurse stop by and roll you over anyway.

You're the one who needs three different socks to make one personality.

Not just three socks. Fifteen, and I think you know which ones they are. I'm not going to try to fool you, Terry. You're too sharp to be fooled in that way.

Nope. That overwhelming numbness you feel is nobody's pain. Be grateful.

Thanks for confessing you have socks, Sybil. Why do you use them?

I don't mind confiding in you that I can accomplish so much more with the other socks than I can with this one. All of the things I just can't express using this account, become trivially easy if I simply use different accounts. It's like a crutch. Besides Into the Night, gfm7175 and Cypress which you have already correctly guessed, have you identified the twelve others?

If you were as smart as you believe yourself to be, you'd 'splain that better, Sybil. Why do you think you know my pain or emotions? Is this a special gift you have? I am grateful. Why shouldn't I be?

Yes. Remember when I told you the "Id" was too much energy for you?

 

[IBDaMann]

I understand you lied your enormous flabby ass off when you claimed NASA supposedly doesn't do design, engineering, assembly.

Nope. You don't somehow "know" this until you post the specified information into this thread (no links) to support your totally brain-dead, leftist collective regurgitation which, come to think of it, explains why you refuse to do anything but pivot and EVADE.

You are stupid. You can't help it. You don't have many tools with which to work, and you don't have many options.

Sure, I'd like some fries with my order.

 

[IBDaMann]

Why do you think you know my pain or emotions?

You have no pain, Terry. You have only a brain stem. The word for what you feel is "numb.". You should trust those of us who don't require feeding tubes. In fact, you kind of have to.

Someone will be by shortly to change your sheets.

Duh. Are they giving you First Aid classes where you live, Sybil?

I mainly trust highly functional people , Sybil. Others vary by degree.

Interesting to see you are familiar with the procedure. Do you have a catheter, Sybil?
