Re: River Stark Triggered
Actually I think it should be a general feature of the board. Down thumbing someone without even taking part in the discussion is akin to drive-by cat-calling: legal, but rude and uncouth. I should know: I've done it myself, although I don't think I'd mind if someone called me on it.

Re: River Stark Triggered
....the military doesn't spend the money, the taxpayers do....and it's the weasels in Congress that appropriate the funding. My memory is a bit hazy on this, but I recall hearing something about how, not only does it not work, but the Pentagon doesn't even want them and won't use them. May have been some other kind of military hardware instead of a fighter jet....either way, it's just plain Wrong. The reason they don't cut the funding is b/c it creates jobs in their gerrymandered districts for the constituents who keep voting to send them to Washington to do nothing. What a country, eh?

Re: River Stark Triggered
I agree, and I have no problem with lurkers. But should a listener express a negative judgment - in the form of a thumbs down - I'd like them to own up to it and let us know who they are. Like I said, I'm sometimes guilty of this myself, though I try not to do it often. If they don't, there's nothing wrong with the poster letting us know who delivered the drive-by judgment.

Re: River Stark Triggered
I'm not sure how you inferred from my statement that tax payers aren't the ones footing the bill. The military gets a budget, and then they spend the money. Hence the military spent their money on the F-35, which doesn't work. My statement is valid when stating that the military spent the money on the F-35. Congress simply appropriates a budget, they do not tell the pentagon how to spend the money. The issue is the lack of control congress and the president have over how the pentagon spends their money. Remember that whole 9/11 tragedy? 9/10 Rumsfeld made a statement that the pentagon misplaced 2.3 trillion dollars. The records were in the accounting office which was to be investigated. Guess what got blown up the very next day? The accounting office at the pentagon with all the evidence. The level of corruption on all fronts is beyond the comprehension of the average citizen. If the average citizen understood what really goes on they would revolt against the government.

Re: River Stark Triggered
Not that it matters, but the govt has not spent 1.5 trillion dollars in the F-35.....itis projected to spend that much over the nearly 60 year projected life of the airframe. But dont let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Re: River Stark Triggered
I presume that if someone gives you a thumbs up, they agree with your argument. I don't require them to provide provide an independent route to the same conclusions I've drawn. If someone gives you a thumbs down, I presume they believe there is at least one flaw in your argument and I would think it would be in everyone's interest to disabuse us of that flaw.
