| Message | Good show! We dont know what kind of 3 dimensional world the OP have lost themselfs in, but Cobura is FAR from being the 'innovation' capital of Terra, and its getting worse the more the Libertarians fiddle around in rich folks trousers! We know FACTS are dismissed from us because were stupid, but, c'mon OP, at least TRY to fix things instead of making it worse! Also, Satellites ar made from EXTREMELY deadly metals. If one should malfunction and crash down to earth it has the ability to wipe out not just Cobura, but Terra! Think about that... not that we think youll care because launching satellites infringes on individual rights, no doubt. |
