I'm pretty sure Area 51 is the place where Santa Claus really lives. The North Pole is just a smoke and mirrors decoy.

Flashing lights in the sky? Rudolph, duh.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN yes, there are classified-level contracts, but the idea that the US is sitting on technology "decades" ahead of today is ludicrous.

Why is it?

The black-budgets are black for a reason. Or is it just the case that the guys in Area 51 stole thier stealth bomber technology from Tonka Toys?

well, why are they "sitting on it", as opposed to putting it out into the field? give me one plausible reason. its not like they put the technology away for a rainy day.

Ok, I'll try. For the same reasons Governments don't give out secrets (e.g. intelligence etc). For the same reasons drug companies don't share research. Maybe for the same reason that Britian didn't share radar with the Germans?

Or perhaps they don't put it out in the field because they don't want other rogue, unstable or dangerous countries stealing their potentially lethal and effective technology.

No indeed they're not, but they're equally not going to go around and offer their research to North Korea anytime soon.

except the government utilises those secrets everyday (and yes, sometimes they pass it to other governments).

except of course that the drug companies DO share their products, by selling them on the open market. they dont have top-secret drugs out the back sitting around collecting dust do they? no, they R&D then sell. same as the US govt R&Ds and then applies.

give me ONE example of this ever happening in the US. the US develop technology and then put it to use. there arent super-spaceships awaiting the "right time" to be unleashed on an enemy. sorry to break this to you.

its crazy what you kids will believe

yeah, and didnt they just sit on the bomb for decades because they were scared someone would steal it? oh no, they rushed to test it almost immediately. thanks for proving my point.

Yeah, exactly. They do not have technology to be released decades from now.

OK Chris, you can write in your paper that PKC said that the US doesn't have technological secrets, and that it shares everything with everyone else ever.
