- Shouldn't the NSF offer competitive prizes for finding these things? - ~tax leech - 7/9/2004 4:59:43 PM
  - Do you understand ANYTHING about science? - R.L. - 7/10/2004 3:43:31 PM
    - R.L., why do you maliciously fear having to win PRIZES in order to get to leech more of our tax dollars? - ~tax leech - 7/11/2004 4:43:31 PM
      - You demonstrate your stupidity better than I can... You obviously have NO CLUE as to how research dollars are awarded - R.L. - 7/11/2004 11:13:00 PM
        
        While we're on the topic of stupidity... - E.P. Grondine - 7/14/2004 2:05:39 AM
        
        Funny thing is, E.P. .... - R.L. - 7/14/2004 8:22:28 AM

        You're right, RL's sociopathic posts do make us space fans seem like the fringe element in our democracy. - ~tax leech - 7/14/2004 6:30:28 PM
        
        R.L.'s got a point... - Tom Brosz - 7/12/2004 12:20:41 AM
        
        Prizes reward RESULTS and leverage 40 times their amount in investment pursuing them. - ~tax leech - 7/12/2004 2:40:01 AM
        
        Everyone, please read Rich's second paragraph above... I think that says it all about who this guy is (n/t) - R.L. - 7/12/2004 9:02:50 AM
        
        You're right (for once). Unlike you, Rich is no effiminate, bored, tax-leeching coward. - ~tax leech - 7/12/2004 6:28:27 PM
        
        Doesn't your nonsequitur-laden, substanceless response validate my hypothesis? - ~tax leech - 7/11/2004 11:42:49 PM
        
        I never lied on this you moron... LISTEN CAREFULLY KIDDO - R.L. - 7/12/2004 10:20:04 PM
        
        So you get paid with government contract money but aren't a tax leech. I see. - ~tax leech - 7/13/2004 1:22:48 AM
        
        Paid by government = tax leech? In DC maybe - but not in my universe (n/t) - Daniel - 7/13/2004 5:53:16 AM
        
        As if your childishly insecure challenge to 'wrasle' me isnt a non sequitur? - R.L. - 7/12/2004 10:24:57 AM
        
        no it doesn't - your own points are virtually lost in vitriolic noise - Daniel L - 7/12/2004 8:04:56 AM
        
        Daniel, can you THINK about the rubbish that you're spewing in defense of tax-leeching R.L.? - ~tax leech - 7/12/2004 6:25:06 PM
        
        he was wrong to abuse you - and vice versa - Daniel - 7/13/2004 5:09:41 AM
        
        You chose the wrong day to slander me as lazy, you twit! - R.L. - 7/12/2004 8:05:50 PM
        
        6 straight days at14,000 feet, 2/3rd atmospheric pressure, and likely to do the same for the next 4 days so whats your work schedule like, Rich? - R.L. - 7/12/2004 8:36:09 PM
        
        Some of us have to work to pay your grant-supported salary, tax-leech. - ~tax leech - 7/13/2004 4:23:47 AM
        
        You are deliberately lying and claimin I am saying the opposite of what I said- there is no point debating the insane - R.L. - 7/13/2004 7:52:45 PM
        
        Ah, so prizes are fine as long as YOU don't have to compete for any to get paid? How CONVEEEENIENT. - ~tax leech - 7/14/2004 2:14:11 AM
        
        Actually, Daniel, the last time I was paid by 'The government' was when I was a grad student... - R.L. - 7/12/2004 10:09:54 AM
        
        R.L., why don't you take your sissy fear of prizes proponents to the FLAME BOARD? - ~tax leech - 7/12/2004 6:38:02 PM
        
        Anyone else here think that maybe this guy is in need of medication? (n/t) - R.L. - 7/12/2004 8:57:29 PM
        
        No, I just think he's an angry ideologue - Daniel - 7/13/2004 5:38:40 AM
        
        Lori Garver (a Clinton official) proposed prizes while at NASA HQ. This reform isn't political; it's patriotic. - ~tax leech - 7/13/2004 6:08:43 PM
        
        Your fellow tax leeches, surely. They fear pro-entrepreneurial reforms. - ~tax leech - 7/13/2004 1:30:08 AM
        
        you shouldn't feel you need to explain that, though - Daniel - 7/12/2004 10:56:50 AM
        
        That's B.S. Tax leeches thwart the private sector. Ask MirCorp & Beal. - ~tax leech - 7/12/2004 6:19:55 PM
