whoops I posted "ich ben", sorry it's "bin" (sind conjugation for ich)

I'm part German, however my internationalist tendencies wouldn't allow for me to join any ethnically based group. Wie geht's? Ich ben mude.

nothing going on in here right now aye? sorry I've been so inactive but i've been at other communist forums.

No actually i'm not.
Scroll down to the line under the first paragraph of "Uses in the U.S. and Russian space programs".

Pens need gravity in order to work. That is how the ink gets transferred from the reservoir to the little roller ball; the Americans created the space pen because of this. It was pressurised, so that the ink could flow evenly in zero gravity and therefore work properly.

Yet another example of your "liberties" with research.

anyone can edit wikipedia. and you don't know how much the American government hides from it's citizens

Socialism today ... For a better tomorrow!

just to prove how dumb capitalists really are

(note: that which you are about to read is completely true)
During the heat of the space race in the 1960s, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) realized that astronauts would have to be able to record certain things while performing their duties and so it would need a writing instrument capable of writing in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. Of course, a normal pen will not work as they are gravity fed. After considerable research and development over two years, the zero-g astronaut pen was developed at a cost of approximately $US 1 million (in 1960s dollars!!). The initial production run was 50 pens.
The Soviet Union faced the same problem. They issued pencils.

So I assume you'd also hold up people like Hitler, Hussein, Pol Pot, Stalin, Kim Jong Il, and any other person or dictator who resorts to murder and scare tactics as a way to spread their beliefs and point. Yes, the current administration does much the same thing by taking the sort of policy of "if you aren't with us, your against us, and perhaps you might like an invasion to go with your wrongness?" but can that really justify the killings that were perpetrated on 9/11? Or as the topic author would have us believe, enshrine these men as heroes simply because they killed for a cause?

I think not, and anyone who does, you frankly make me sick.

it's true 9/11 is unjustified ... but the whole thing that started jihad warfare was the crusades you tell me how the fuck those were justified and you can keep me shut up for a year

in soviet russia I NUKE YOU FROM

well I'm sorry to say that the Europeans played a large part in all this ... moreover the Christian church .. now I'm not a defender of either side hell i could careless about them but really what happened was the crusades disturbed a peaceful and civilized people until they adopted jihad warfare ... from that second on the world was bound to end a few thousand years early
