Is their a plan for any of this, if so great, if not could i make a humble request for it.

feliwi: Thanks for the comments, yes i did make some of the lots myself, i just took other peoples props or lots and reworked them for myself, im not a BATer, but a lot maker. you can find the cargo 747 and the Fedex MD-11 here http://homepage2.nifty.com/tabinohito/index.html , it is a Japanese site by tobinohito, he has some great stuff. and yes i am looking at at lease 1 new runway. We will see, i want it to be as real as posible. I just started a total rework of a older airport so lets see how that go's thanks for the comments. Smarty218: Thanks for the comments, i try to make it look real and for it to look like it works, you "could this really be operational".

Hello Everyone; I though i might show you a new Airport & Air Base i have been working on. This is the Island of Aragon and the city of San Uasidro. all Of the Airports on the island are a joint venture between the Islands transportation department and the Islands Military.

I just wanted to say that things look great and thanks so much for of the hard work to bring this to everyone.

Well as for a StarBucks - I sure hope so, but only if they can cryio freeze me and send me up to drink some coffee in outer space. ;-) Ok seriously, the exploration of space and of sciences is one of the key things that will lead the United States in to the next century and keep us as the global leader on this planet. I know that space exploration is very expensive and time as well as resource consuming but hell, look how much we have spent on the war. For all that money we could have gone to mars and back a 100 times over. I do agree that NASA needs a lot of work and that they would do well to have some competition. As for privet companies - that's a great idea. And they should be involved, that is what this country was built on, but not without NASA being in the mix. Our president has ignored his responsibilities in the area of science in favor of right wing religious zealots. It is too bad that we let politics and religion interfere with common sense and the development of science for the betterment of all mankind. Hell, one day we are going to need those resources from other worlds if we are going to survive. Now it's true that there are a lot of things that need to fixed in the world and in my country, and we should do so much more to that end, but one thing we should not do is sacrifice ore science and a big part of that is our space exploration. Hell, now is the time to take the next step and get out there even more. So I can drink coffee in outer space before I die.

Wade11 - wow - lots of good information - thanks so much here are a few pics of my airport that i am working on, currently my region has 4 airports, and i am just about to brake ground on #5 let me know what you all think.

Originally posted by: El Burro Originally posted by: teddyb4492 They may not have a Nuclear Bomb today. But if they do get one what in the hell do you think they are going to do with it? Sit and polish it?quote> They might just do that... it would certainly stop the US from attacking, since they wouldn't want to risk turning either Baghdad or Bethlehem into a radioactive crater.quote> Nuclear bombs are as much a deterrent as a weapon... they've definitely kept the peace in Europe for the past 60 years... it was the only thing between us and a Soviet Invasion.quote> El Burro - it is true that Nuclear Weapons kept the peace in Europe over the last 60 + years. And it is true that all 1.4 billion Muslims are not terrorists. That would be crazy to say. But I really doubt that if a Fanatical Islamic Regime acquired a Nuclear Weapon they would just sit on it. Even if they did not use it or attack us directly I really believe that they would allow proliferation of the weapon and or the technology to a Terrorist group or individual that they secretly wanted to attack. They would allow the use of the weapon to attack their enemies then claim innocence’s. Also – I do not think that it would stop the US or Israel from attacking, in fact I believe that we would attack as soon as we were aware that they had it or as soon as were are sure they are developing it. Now I am not one for attacking anyone. But as I pointed out before, if we cannot trust our enemy to not attack us, and they cannot trust us not to attack them, then it is only a matter of time before we attack, because they will if we let them. Manticorefan – I love the link – that is some really good stuff for Unclassified Information, it’s very good reading and provides a lot of good information that anyone who wants to do some good research should look at. May I also recommend a book that I am reading call “THE CRISIS OF ISLAM – Holy War and Unholy Terror” by Dr Bernard Lewis. It is very very insightful and knowledgeable. I recommend it to everyone.

Ladies and Gentlemen; as I said before, Most people have deep views on politics and religion. But, City2TheMax, you are right; debates such as this will lead in many directions. Freedom of speech is one of the founding principles of America, and a lot of other countries I might add. Is that so in Iran? I think NOT. Doesn’t America stand for tolerance of all (even if we don’t always live up to it)? Yes. Dose Iran? They say they do, and that’s because they kill and slaughter anyone that does not conform to their beliefs and way of thinking. Need I mention the Kurds that Both Iran and Iraq have been killing for years? And they are Muslim, what do you think they will do to “non-believers” if they get the chance? No wonder they don't have gays - they are all killed as soon as someone finds out. Let’s get real ok. snoogans27 Originally posted by: snoogans27 All allegations against him are bogus. Nuclear Weapons program is as much a hoax as WMDs in Iraq. I am sorry to say but you are the one who is fooled – I have been there, I have seen our soldiers burned from exposure to Mustered Gas powder (a Chemical weapon and a WMD). Our soldiers, right outside of Bagdad. Look it up in the public records. Not to mention the use of Chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War from 1980 to 1988 and the Gassing of the Kurds by Iraq. Don’t believe all of the liberal hype you here in the media today. Just because we did not publicly find any doesn’t mean that he never had them, and it doesn’t mean that he was still not a very bad guy that was killing millions. As for some of your other comments, clearly you haven’t researched them fully. After all, for a guy who doesn’t support terrorism, I think it’s pretty strange that Iranian RPGs and IEDs are found each and every day. You know, the ones with the writing on the side that says Manufactured in the Islamic Republic of Iran! Additional, I see the Intelligence every day. The real stuff, not dribble that we are all feed in the media every day. This Country is not a good place to be. They may not have a Nuclear Bomb today. But if they do get one what in the hell do you think they are going to do with it? Sit and polish it? Now I think Bush has made a lot of mistakes, but I will never be afraid of a man or a country that only wants peace for all, and I do believe that America dose want peace. YES America does not always do the right thing, we are not perfect, and I do believe that Big Business and Defense Contractors operate at the expense of the Soldier and the American people, not to mention everyone else that suffers in a war. But Hello, its WAR, by its very nature people will die and there will be suffering. I am sorry, but if it is Kill or Be Killed, that other guy is dead meat. It’s just the way it is. And I am sure they are saying the same thing. I know that doesn’t lead to peace and I know that peace may cost a lot, but is peace and freedom for all worth it? I think it is. I am not looking to turn this in to a debate about Iraq or and Bush - I will just say that I do not think we should have gone in their but now we are there, to cut and run is wrong regardless of who you are. As for Bush - I am disappointed in our president but I do not totally blame him. There is enough blame to go around. And our media really makes it so much worse. It’s so hard to truly know what is the truth and what is right and wrong. So I trust in my heart and my values that we will overcome and do the right thing.

City2TheMax Its true that a discussion of the respective countries cultures and belief systems has a direct impact on the discussion of the Iranian Presidents speech but to say "he sucks" or "it's all Americas fault" without a educated discussion as to why is what we don't want. Most people have deep views on politics and religion. In this case, and for most countries, religion has I direct impact on politics. For Iran and in all other Islamic Fundamentalist countries religion dictates politics and everything else too. It is a way of life, not just a religion. So when you look at the speech you see a failed man and a failed country that is tied to belief system that is a heart of most conflict today. So what did I think of the speech? Well for the bottom line up front, I saw a man that represented a country that represents all I stand against, so for me his speech was a failure for him, his country, his people, his religion, and peace as we know it. At least for now anyway.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this thread started as a question. What did you think of the Iranian Presidents speech? Not as a thread for country bashing. It seems clear after listening the Iranian President speak that the man would not and could not answer the questions put to him. To do so would be to admit that his entire belief system and all of his values and everything that he has based his life on was a lie. Do you really think that that is going to happen? Let me quantify that statement. Although I have spent almost 20 years in the US Army – I have never been to Iran. I cannot tell you what the people are like unless I speak to an Iranian here in the US. So for any of us to say how good or bad they are as a people is a mistake. A person from an Arab or Muslim Country is not a Terrorist just because of where they are from. Just look at the troubles with racism the US has had growing up and still has to this day. Now I cannot say that I do not stereo type, if I did I would be lying. It keeps me alive in the job I do. Regardless, Islamic Fundamentalism is a splinter of the Islamic religion. Just think of all the religious groups we have here in the United States. The issue is not whether or not Islam is ok, the issue is that regardless of your beliefs you cannot force them on others, and you can not kill others in that name. Now I cannot say the US is above reproach, we are not, but the worst day here is still far better than the best day in many other places in the world. I would say to each of you, people and cultures and civilizations have been killing each other since the beginning of time. And, yes, it is true; more people have died in the name of religion than all the other reasons combined. So for anyone to say that America caused all of this or brought this on themselves, for whatever reason, whether it be from incompetent leaders or mistakes made or stupid decisions made by men in power is an illusion and a lie. So let’s forget about blaming America for all of the world’s problems, after all, most of you have been around far longer than us. I leave you with this thought. The Iranian president was asked if he was building a Nuclear Bomb. And what his intentions are. He basically dodged the question on the grounds of sovernty for his country and the chance to develop nuclear power peacefully. Let me ask you this, what do you think a man like that, or any Terrorist or Islamic Fundamentalist is going to do with it when they get it? Do you want to live with that fear? I don’t!

Folks - I am not one to quash anyone’s thoughts, I have spent the best part of my life defending our freedoms and our Constitution by serving in our Armed Forces. But I would ask each and everyone to take a moment to search for the facts and think of the global pitcher here. Yes America is not perfect; our nation has made many mistakes. But this is not about America or her mistakes. I see the Intelligence every day. It is a Fact – Iran supports Terrorists. Both with funding, supplies, and personnel in Iraq, all across the Middle East and all around the world, and also by hosting and running training camps inside its borders. Although not popular with western media, the US Army has found numerous weapons with makings showing them to be made in Iran and that is just the tip of the iceberg. I cannot share more, but look in to it for yourself. It is a Fact – The Iranian President has made numerous statements calling for the total annihilation of Israel and all Jews as well as America. These statements are documented in the press. It is a Fact – The Iranian President was directly involved as a young man in the Iran Hostage Crises, you can find the images of him guarding and escorting hostages around by simply doing a Google Search. Although it is not proven at this time that Iran is building a Nuclear Bomb, do you really believe that they are not trying? If we learn nothing else by allowing him to speak, at least we learn why we stand for what we do and why we fight. If you all can, listen to what he has to say, and judge for yourself – I believe each of you who look will see the truth. That this man, and the men like him are evil men, with nothing but lies and hate in their hearts. Would you trust our world to him or men like him?

haljackey I too like what i am seeing & it is nice to see some new posts here but really i was just wondering why it seems that everyone is moving over too SC4D...? not that i mind the site at all, i don't, it is a good place and the work is wonderful, it just seems like everyone is leaving ST? any thoughts as to why?
