Fair enough reason to keep it because to be honest, I didn't even think about intelligence gathering. Thanks far a straight answer...Like I said, was just a thought and that was one thing I honestly didn't stop to think about
So...we spend billions upon billions to build a space station and go back & forth...Why? There is nothing there. Why are we trying to plan a "second" trip to the moon? There is nothing there after all...
As far as mythbusters "busting" the hoax theory, come on, do you really think a tv show is as elaborate as the government? especially a show like mythbusters?
An american base in Australia? Don't really see why we'd need one there to be honest. Australian military is modern enough they don't need us, and there really is no stategic need for us to be there that the Australians can't handle.
Couldn't agree more, but one thing I've learned during my time "away" is, you can't let them get to you because in the end, it's personal choice as to whether you let them dictate what enjoyment you get out of being here :)
That being said, I would love to see a bunch of the regulars that are still on here, return to the forums...It was always great to read opinions from different perspectives and from different angles, not to mention, some people were just great to hear from.
I agree partially...There does seem to be alot of nastiness in the forums...But that being said, I think it just means those of us that aren't nasty, need to do a little more to make it a brighter place.
I know personally, I miss people like Hugz,Mylife, and a bunch of the regulars, but for one , I was fortunate and still had my Morgan here when I came back which brought me a smile, but I noticed in general, most of the people I knew were gone...
I was going to leave the site really because in general, I couldn't find anyone familiar to talk too, but I went ahead and started a new circle of friends...
I'd like to think i have a few already that I can talk to about anything and everything and still have a good time with and yeah it maybe only a handful, but in the end, all you need is a few people that you can relate too , to really enjoy yourself.
Little by little, I am enjoying it for what it is, and for what it's always been. A great place to meet people and to make friends..Should something more come along in the process, fantastic, if not, that is fantastic as well because I've made new friends ...
I hear ya...I see friendship in the forums, but no sense of strong connection with one another. That is definitely the one thing I miss as well....That being said, I think it's up to us (those that miss that connection) to form new connections of our own with people and start the process over again :)
RE: Taking Chances
I feel deprived at the moment...lol
