math and science long before you were born... after all i am native to silicon valley...
So what? You grasp of technology and the past is flawed.
Long before most people by the sounds of it. Your out of touch, you dont know the different between a phone, cellphone and a smartphone. The founding fathers could not have dreamed of that progression.
You also compare antiquated technologies and inventions to modern day technology that people 250 years ago flying balloons would not have imagined. Why do you fight this? Your wrong, this was your analogy.
all things today came from some antiquated invention from 100s of years ago...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_%28TV_series%29
Connections explores an "Alternative View of Change" (the subtitle of the series) that rejects the conventional linear and teleological view of historical progress. Burke contends that one cannot consider the development of any particular piece of the modern world in isolation. Rather, the entire gestalt of the modern world is the result of a web of interconnected events, each one consisting of a person or group acting for reasons of their own motivations (e.g. profit, curiosity, religious) with no concept of the final, modern result of what either their or their contemporaries' actions finally led to. The interplay of the results of these isolated events is what drives history and innovation, and is also the main focus of the series and its sequels.
To demonstrate this view, Burke begins each episode with a particular event or innovation in the past (usually Ancient or Medieval times) and traces the path from that event through a series of seemingly unrelated connections to a fundamental and essential aspect of the modern world. For example, the episode "The Long Chain" traces the invention of plastics from the development of the fluyt, a type of Dutch cargo ship.
liberal elitist attitude,
Thanks. But I am not an elite or a liberal. But you are an idiot.
So what? You grasp of technology and the past is flawed.
you clearly flunked history.. just a obamatron.. what ever the liberal media pumps into you.
what ? are you the chosen one like your leader Obama-rama...
for a person living in such a progressive state you would think you would have been smarter, guess that cali for you.
Simply put the founding fathers would not have understood science today.
They could never have predicted it.
Thomas, grow up.

of course you would attempt to redux your argument to that, it's easier to make.
BULLSHIT!
Do you know how many new elements we have found/created in the past 250 years?
Do you know how many new materials we have created in the past 250 years?
Crashing Balloons as aircraft. Shut the fuck up Thomas.

I always knew you were a moron. Liberal bashing me will get you nowhere, I am not a liberal.

like so many libs who keep ignoring history...

You are wrong. Face it.
You don't want a conversation.
Yawn, your pathetic. You ignored everything, everything I said, so go fuck yourself.
Balloons. lol
like so many libs who keep ignoring history...
YOU ARE A Fucking IDIOT , you know that right?
You cannot even hold a conversation, which is recommended that you read the other persons information. You really are not interested in conversation, you only want to be right.
Well, your wrong.
BALLOONS! YOU FOOL!

you lost... so your ticked now... too bad!
you lost... so your ticked now... too bad!
No, you think the founding fathers foresaw modern technology based on what , a fucking BALLOON!
Shut the fuck up, idiot!
Keep ignoring the facts Thomas, that must be the way you got your cali education.
The best thing about this thread is all the potential epitaph material. For example, envision any of the following subtle epithets engraved in granite:
BALLOONS! YOU FOOL!
BULLSHIT!
Shut the fuck up Thomas.
what a chump !
Truly excellent!
ah... Thedaytoday, is a control freak.. s/he has limited mindset..
unable to understand the possibility. If our founding fathers were
so limited.. they, and we, would would been royalists and we be part of the UK.
do not forgot one other one from Thedaytoday ... "you racists".... ah Golden !
Disagree.. they understood how man created inventions and would continue to do so in the future.. be it from the Biblical times to Middle Ages to their contemporary periods..they too understood crazy suicide bombers... the were called the Mongols even in their history books.
"Jacques Charles and the Robert brothers launched their balloon, the world's first hydrogen-filled balloon, on August 27, 1783, from the Champ de Mars (now the site of the Eiffel Tower); Benjamin Franklin was among the crowd of onlookers."
Thomas your a moron
No, you think the founding fathers foresaw modern technology based on what , a fucking BALLOON!
s/he has limited mindset..
I do not have a limited mindset, I am extremely inventive. In fact you are the one who thinks think the founding fathers had a grasp of future technology based on what!
a BALLOON!
That's a limited mindset.
They had no clue and neither do you.
I am infact a futurist !
Thedaytoday .... take your meds.. your duplicating your posts... maybe call a doctor or a mental health institution..
thomaswong.1986 and balloons are technology from the future!
Idiot.
Keep on the prozac
take your meds.. your duplicating your posts
Perhaps you will read one and answer it instead of creating your own answers that make no sense.
Clearly you are not interested in the facts , typical repuke.
In fact you are the one who thinks think the founding fathers had a grasp of future technology based on what!
a BALLOON!
as did everyone... just the beginning... now man can fly.. what other things will happen?
for someone who calls himself "inventive" you certainly dont see the connections and possibilities... your failure for lack of imagination...
thomaswong.1986 your arguments make no sense and you have no leg to stand on.
Balloons of the future filled with hydrogen.
IDIOT!
Thomas, you think the founding fathers foresaw modern technology based on what , a fucking BALLOON!
Shut the fuck up, idiot!
They too understood crazy suicide bombers... the were called the Mongols even in their history books.
Idiot! You really are full of moronic gems.
The first aircraft disaster occurred in May 1785 when the town of Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland was seriously damaged when the crash of a balloon resulted in a fire that burned down about 100 houses, making the town home to the world's first aviation disaster. To this day, the town shield depicts a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Idiot!
Idiot! You really are full of moronic gems.
fine example of someone "over the edge"... best check yourself in..
before you go on a shooting spree...
A hydrogen gas balloon or aerostat is not an aircraft
An airship is a floating aircraft
yeah, that's just the type of banter you get when you converse with

Correct.
You are a GASBAG.
flunked history.. just a obamatron.. what ever the liberal media pumps into you.
I always knew you were a moron. Liberal bashing me will get you nowhere, I am not a liberal.
Quite correct. You would know about all things "gas", you overblown GASBAG.

Privacy and safety is a tradeoff. Most people are willing to give up some privacy in exchange for safety.
I've heard that argument before.
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. -- Ben Franklin
Privacy and safety is not a tradeoff. Safety is inversely proportional to transparency, not infringement of privacy.
For a society to be safe, all government actions must be transparent. Invasions of privacy like strip searches are not necessary. For example, it is far more crucial to secure safety in Congress than in a prison since our government and our entire nation is dependent on Congress. Therefore, if strip searches are necessary to ensure adequate safety in prisons, then it is also necessary to strip search every member of Congress and every person entering Congress. Conversely, if Congress can be safeguarded without strip searches, then so can a prison. So, why do we strip search prisoners and not Congressmen?
We have security theater in our country. This is not the same thing as real security.
Quite correct. You would know about all things "gas", you overblown GASBAG.

Go fuck yourself ruki
CPTIdiot Says:
The Liberal actions seem more racist to me, than those of the Republicans. Democrats by their very action claims that minorities are incapable of achieving goals by them selves. They have some imaginary barrier. But yet, immigrant of all color come to this country every year, and do better than most College educated White people. This has been the land of opportunity for a reason. It is the Liberals that try to rob minorities of those opportunity. By shoving them in government, administrative and service roles, and other dead end jobs.

Ball, from Patterson, NY, said he planned to introduce legislation that would keep permit information private except to prosecutors and police.
Those Libs should be proud of them selves. NY will now have concealed, concealed permits. Kind of a wrong knee jerk response if you ask me. A better suited law, would be while anyone is free to request information. They are not at liberty to publish or reproduce that information in any way. You may feel free to post it or share that single hard copy as much as you want, as long as it is the original, while you are not allowed to make copies. But you may not post it on websites, or publish information in news papers.
But I guess it was too hard of a stretch to make that connection.
