So did anyone ever find Bigfoot, do people still think it exists? No, and yes.
Who's the baddest, a green beret, a ranger, or a seal or another? I'd say a Seal, but don't ever say that to the others!
Is the M1 the best tank in the world? YES!
Can you still get famous and make lots of money by being good at riding a skate board? Only if you're young and reckless!
Are there still lots of Americans who think Austria and Australia are the same? Yep, but they live in the inner city. Or the Deep South!
So was it really more than one who shot JFK? Maybe! Who knows?
So was the moon landing really done in a studio? NO!
If you could live in any town in the US which one would it be? Right here!
So joe satriani, steve vai, zak wilde all getting older.....so Who is the next young and up and coming guitar god hero? I'd say Joe Bonamassa, but that's just my opinion.
if you're a hot female whose dad has lots of money can you still make yourself famous? If your last name is Kardashian, then yes!
The guy on the veranda who played duelling banjo's, is he still alive? Couldn't say!
Are there still places down south like in Deliverance? YES!
Are there still road races where you can race flat out across the country in a Trans Am Pontiac? With the price of speeding tickets these days? I don't think so!
Has all the oregon been cut down in Oregon? HUH!
Do Americans still think Australians sound like the English? Kind of.
Why is China the enemy when you can tour their country and even get a job there in a US based company? China is not the enemy, China is the landlord!
So whatever happened to the star wars project? Are the lasers up there or did they lose interest? Luke died in Iraq.
So what does medical insurance really cost for full coverage? If you have to ask, you can't afford it!
Are there college fraternity parties like on American Pie? No, it's more like Animal House.
Do ghetto's still exist? Yep, they used to be called "suburbia".
Can you smoke weed if the doctor says it's ok? Who ever needed a doctor's ok to smoke weed?

--A: Nobody ever found one but unfortunately, yes, people in America still believe bigfoot exists.
--A: That'd easily be the Spetsnaz.
--A: Probably, but the British Challenger(I think that's the name of their best tank) is pretty good too.
--A: Yes, I've never personally known anybody who got rich at it, but I have known people who did it for a living.
--A: I hope to hell not but a trip/survey through WalMart would prove that question true rather quickly.
--A: Nope. There's no credible evidence to show there was more than one, and a ton of evidence that shows there was only one.
--A: Nope.
--A: Anywhere midway down the east coast.
--A: I wouldn't agree about those guys ever being guitar god hero's, but I'd have to say that they're probably still undiscovered.
--A: Unfortunately yup.
--A: I doubt it. That dude looked pretty messed-up.
--A: Yes
--A: Yes, though it's highly illegal.
--A: Nope
--A: To us there is a similarity but they do sound different.
--A: China's not my enemy. I would assume the average Chinese citizen is a very nice person.
--A: The Star Wars system of defense that Reagan proposed is probably now obsolete.
--A: Satellite based lasers to destroy ICBMs are probably obsolete.
--A: More than I can afford.
--A: I did play in a band at a frat party once, and no, it was nothing like that. It was a frat house for engineering students...
--A: Yes
--A: Legally, yes you can.

P.S. -- I actually read a pretty long book about the history of the founding of Australia and found it quite interesting.

I'm inclined to say that it's roughly equal with our allies' tanks. The Brit Challenger, German Leopard, French Le Clerc, Israeli Merkava, and Japanese Type 90 (off the top of my head) use basically the same armor, or at least the same ideas, as well as the same/same-ish weapons systems. As far as I know they all have the capability to shoot on the move at a target that's 1-2 miles away. But like any tank, hit it in the right place and it's dead.

No, yes.

Depends on what branch the person you ask served in. I was Army, so SEAL.

Is the M1 the best tank in the world?
It was for a long time, but has been challenged. It is a wonderfully upgradable platform though.

Can you still get famous and make lots of money by being good at riding a skate board?
Probably, though the level to which you would have to train is extremely high.

Are there still lots of Americans who think Austria and Australia are the same?
Lots, no. Some, yes.

So was it really more than one who shot JFK?
I don't think so.

So was the moon landing really done in a studio?
No.

If you could live in any town in the US which one would it be?
Flagstaff, Arizona.

So joe satriani, steve vai, zak wilde all getting older.....so Who is the next young and up and coming guitar god hero?
Tosin Abasi

if you're a hot female whose dad has lots of money can you still make yourself famous?
Next time I am a hot female with a rich father, I'll let you know.

The guy on the veranda who played duelling banjo's, is he still alive?
Billy Redden, yes.

Are there still places down south like in Deliverance?
Yep.

Are there still road races where you can race flat out across the country in a Trans Am Pontiac?
Yeah there are a few, but they are illegal.

Has all the oregon been cut down in Oregon?
Eh?

Do Americans still think Australians sound link the English?
Some do.

Why is China the enemy when you can tour their country and even get a job there in a US based company?
Politically and economically, China has been quite adversarial. Personally, I don't really care.

So whatever happened to the star wars project? Are the lasers up there or did they lose interest?
Snow job.

So what does medical insurance really cost for full coverage?
About $250 per month per person for my little family.

Are there college fraternity parties like on American Pie?
Yes

Do ghetto's still exist?
Yes

Can you smoke weed if the doctor says it's ok?
In some states, yes.

The purpose of "Star Wars" was to scare Russia into spending itself into bankruptsy. We never had squat. neener neener neener!

My health insurance costs me $948 a month. That's just me.

My wife's uncle was the head of the Star Wars program at Northrop. I'll ask him next time I see him, but I'm pretty sure he'll have to kill me if he tells me.

Seriously, it would be hard for me to believe we don't have a space-based anti-ballistic missile system deployed. If we do, I'm sure it violates international treaties, so we're not going to fess up. A few years ago I judged graduate presentations of engineering projects at UCSD. One of them involved evaluation of a "deployable" truss for deflections. The truss was provided by the Air Force. The student speculated that it may be part of a platform for a rail gun, but he was not told what it was.

Q: Could you make a thread with more politically associated questions?
A: Probably, but it wouldn't last long. I count 6 out of 21.

Q:Will I answer any of these questions?
A: No. The ones I have a hard opinion on are mostly those 6. I don't feel like starting an argument, or getting banned, or both.

I suggest getting under the covers and putting your pillow over your head.
