Rogue2020 0 Posted January 31, 2002 I think it would be more of a science type place....not many civilians there...... We are not talking tara forming (spelled wrong)....it's not star trek "you can see lake Armstrong from earth" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingBeast 0 Posted January 31, 2002 Quite obviously it would be a Monarchy. President of the moon? No that doesnt sound right. KING of the moon? you bet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobble 1 Posted January 31, 2002 If any type of "permanant" settlement does take place on the moon.. I would think it would be an international group of scientists.. I dont think there is much that could be done on the moon to make anyone want to LIVE there (visit maby, but not live)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Assault (CAN) 1 Posted January 31, 2002 I think that if the Earth became overpopulated, and if we had the technology, we would start putting people on the moon. There might be different national colonies in different locations, American, Russian, German, etc. I would like to visit the moon, it would be cool to see the Earth from way out there and jump around in 1/6th gravity.

KingBeast 0 Posted January 31, 2002 Mars would be the most ideal place to setup a colony. Use the moon as a giant refuse/waste site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete 1 Posted January 31, 2002 we could populate it with our criminals and declare it a "state" belonging to earth and they have to pay taxes.....they would riot and declare it to a kingdom. this would lead to a short star-war/indepence war and in the end we would have a new evil empire we could bitch about instead of usa. i say...go for it!

brgnorway 0 Posted January 31, 2002 By the way - does anyone have a suggestion for the name of the spaceship carrying the settlers? Mayflower II perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
second_draw 0 Posted January 31, 2002 I think the moon should be divided up kinda like the antartic especially giving australia a really big bit. I say it would be a neo type communism cause every one on the moon would be working for the goverment although the goverment's country on earth will be capitolist & there would also be no civillians on the moon ............ except for the rich ones. As for naming the ship, i will get back to you all on that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobble 1 Posted January 31, 2002 I fancy the idea...........except that I'm getting fond of having USA as an evil enemy yea, the US is the right kind of 'evil enemy' to have .. give ya money, help protect yer country's interests.. and then sit back and let you berate it and call its people idiots,.. . I wish I had an enemy like that  it would be nice to have an evil empire that pays 1/4 of all the costs of the international orginazation of 16 countries.. one of which being yours, while you call its people greedy, then send more troops in to the conflicts that orginization has to participate in than any other 2 countries combined.. while you say its soldiers are inept.. then when its over you can make fun of it for any and every little mistake it made during the entire process....  it must be wonderful to have the US as an evil enemy...

I have nothing particular against americans in general. The foreign policy is another matter though, but having said that I will also include my own countries' foreign policy which really is no better (well, slightly perhaps - but not much). You see, I like americans as much as I like anyone else whatever the colour of their skin, ethnic origins, or nationality. I have a problem with liking Saddam though. By the way - US doesnt provide my country with money. We have more than enough allready. And ever since the cold war we have actually helped protecting your interests as well. I have never called you or any other american idiot(s), because I have no reason to (even though Bush & Aschroft are beyond any doubts). There are more than enough evidence of what I have said in my earlier posts here on the forum. Have a nice day - see ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Britain. Noting that "The U.N. system will never work if we do not fund it properly," and that the "U.N. is on the verge of financial collapse," British Secretary of State Malcolm Rifkind announced his country's view that there should be penalties for non-payment, recommending a policy of "no representation without taxation" as punishment for the lack of funding by members of the United Nations. Canada. The Canadian Foreign Minister, Andre Ouellet, called on all U.N. Member States to pay their dues in full, on time, and without conditions. He said Canada "cannot accept that Member States, some of which rank among the richest countries in the world, fail to meet their financial obligations to this institution. This is even more difficult to accept when we consider that a number of the poorest countries in the world meet their payments in full and on time." Australia. In a speech October 2, the Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans ridiculed the fact that more people were employed by Disneyland than by the United Nations, and that the costs of U.N. peacekeeping were less than that of the New York City fire, police and corrections departments. He pointed to the United States, stating that "the problem of paying for the U.N. has now become critical because of the unwillingness, or inability, of so many of the member states (including the biggest of us all) to pay their assessed contributions -- not withstanding that the cost of these for the major developed country contributors works out at between $7 and $15 per head per year, the price of no more than one or two movie tickets in this city." Article here: http://www.clw.org/pub/clw/un/uncrisis.html My country has met all their obligations as agreed in peace keeping operations as well as economic contributions. UN actually owes Norway money for the expences of peace keeping operations! There are more americans than there are norwegians. So you SHOULD also contribute more!
