Hmmm, what a difficult situation. The only answer any rational person could give to this question is there is no right in it. Its true that Israelis are becoming tired of the present governments policies. Its also true that the Palestinians are fuelled by a fanatical desire to strike back.

Never having fired one I couldn't tell you about US Mil Spec Carbines. In Canada we use the C7 variant of the good old M16. The rounds we use are "tumblers". When the round leaves the barrel it tumbles end over end. These rounds most certainly will incapacitate someone. If the round hits the...
Actually Einstiens brain was as far from defective as you could imagine. Its true that he had no time for the everyday banalities of life. He was a thinker, as such he didn't like to waste his time worrying about what he'd have for supper or what he'd wear on any given day.
I can honestly say...
And your point Bigdude? Are we now to believe Einstien was an idiot based upon your observation? Did you know he also did very poorly when attending school. This in no way diminishes the fact that he possesed an extraordinary intellect. I believe I'll place more stock in the word of someone who...
Hahahahaha! I love the stoves analogy! The when I was a child one is great as well! Yep, I always keep an eye on that damn stove of mine, never know when it'll sneak up behind me! :D
I dont think anyone here is debating the dangers of traffic stops Rogue. I believe the general consensus is that it was a terrible incident. In fact I have had training in traffic stops. A secondary duty I had for a while was assisting the Military Police, as such we recieive the same training...
Yes, Kipling wrote that, he understood Afghanistan well. When I was a child back in England I'd see my Aunt Kipling at least once a week. She ensured that all of us children remained familiar with our illustrious ancestors writings.
I believe they used that particular quote at the begining of...
Dont bother trying to reason with these guys JohnJohn. Its obvious they argue from a stance of superior intellectual capacity. The hallmark of the truly intelligent person has always been to resort to juvenile illiterate insults and taunts when confronted with fact. Just consider the source.
Afghanistan is a particular case. In the past many nations have taken Afghanistan, non could hold it however. When the Russians invaded they took the country in roughly a week. They couldn't hold it though. Its a brutal land populated by expert guerrilla fighters. I've heard many say that it'll...
Since I decided to start posting on this board I've noticed a definite division between the quality of the posters. On the one hand you have those who are obviously intelligent. On the other you have those who seem to fall sqarely into the category of "ignoramus". If you speak from a basis of...
Are you really that callous spidey, or just trying to appear tough? I'd cry you a river if someone blew your face off because you went to the store at the wrong time. Your attitude reminds me of why I'm ashamed at times to belong to the human race.
They're using Canadian snipers over there. They're backing up US troops as they advance. Its getting dirty now. Always has in the past when the fighting moved into the mountains. Expect to see the death toll rise now, there's no way around that.
Wharfedale makes great speakers. I used to own a set of the diamond series years ago. My friend has two sets of KEF's still in the boxes. I'm constantly trying to convince him to sell a set to me for a dirt cheap price. He continues to decline I'm afraid.
Sure it was a mistake. The problem being that such mistakes are becoming more and more frequent. I remember a very interesting article I read concerning SWAT teams. It was shocking to see how many such mistakes occur. One conclusion drawn was that popular culture was a major contributing factor...
I agree Viper. One can only hope that the associated costs will be a non issue and the agency responsible will do the right thing. That poor sod, went to the store and ended up damn near dead.
Hahahahaha! Thats true, I have no idea why they like to do it, but they do.
I know my girl, Jewel would if she had the chance. Thats why I keep the litter box in the basement, she wont go down the open face stairs.
I've seen the old version of the movie more times than I can remember. Love that movie, it along with "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" was one of my favourite movies as a child. I think this new version may just be like the "Planet Of The Apes" fiasco. A sad butchering of an old Sci-Fi...
I really dont believe that having some respect for others can be equated to having a stick up your butt. It seems that you view others from a rather arrogant and disrespectfull point of view. Niether myself nor you have any right at all to impose ourselves in an unwelcome fashion on any one.
I...
Hmmm, I'm afraid I cant agree with you on that one. If these kids want to have some fun they should choose a method that doesn't impose on any who do not wish to be imposed on. Seeking fun does not justify inconvieniencing another person in any way whatsoever. Further, throwing a snowball at...
Ahhh! I see, so is a fully automatic assault rifle with grenade launcher used to hunt small or large game? :)
As I said, its just my view point that weapons repulse me. I know that I'll never be able to rid myself of the images of children horribly maimed by weapons wielded by men.
The ironic...
Yes I'm in the forces. Thats one reason I dont find any fascination in weapons. They're tools, very dreadfull tools. When you see the results of these tools in action it tends to make any normal person despise the fact that we ever developed them in the first place.
As for my credibility. I...
Hmmmm, I'm not a Paramedic, I am single though. So I wouldn't mind having a nice lady toot my horn for me once in a while. :)
I believe that people should have the right to buy/drive whatever they wish. It is true however that SUV's really dont serve a very utalitarian purpose for most people...
I'll be fourty one on the tenth of March. I spent thirteen years at sea. I joined as a marine engineer, after 13 years I remustered to logistics in hope that I'd get to stay home. Unfortunately after I changed trades I found I was away from home more than ever. It makes sense if you thinck about...
I supose it would be interesting for any one not directly involved in my familly. Personally I always thought I'd die at sea. It didn't happen however, came pretty close more than once.
Now i have to become used to a life thats boring. In a way I dont think it'll be all that boring however...
Almost twenty years served now. Done Bosnia, Rwanda, Haiti, The Gulf, Somalia (the worst). Is that enough? I'm due to retire in five months. Dont want to go to war anymore.
I had to say it man. I'm tired of arrogance directed towards Canadians when its based on nothing more than ignorance and money.
Do you know that the average Canadian sailor is worth about ten of his US counterparts? Those guys really suck when it comes to being sailors. Thats why you can spend...
Okay you know nothing little bastards. We do use out dated leopards, they have the C2 mod, which makes them the best cold environement heavy vehicle in the world. Admitedly they dont hold there own againsst most main battle tanks in temperate environverements. How ever, in Arctic environments...
Tell you about me?
Okay.
I was born in Liverpool England. When I was just a kid my parents moved to South Africa, after a few years we moved to Australia. From there we moved back to England. Shortly after we moved to Canada. Our entire familly history revolves around the sea. I have a direct...
So you equate the amount of posts a person has made on some "off topic" forum to real life? I feel truly sorry for you if thats your equasion of real life.
I know, I dont have all that many posts to bolster my credibility. I dont need them however. What I have is twenty years of service in...
I'm sorry guys, but I feel no envy or desire viewing this post. After twenty years of service in multiple theaters of operation I find this to be nothing more than childish wish desire. Its easy to spend thousands of dollars buying hardware to blow away trees and dirt. If you have to use that...
Hello everyone. I've been a lurker for quite some time. I've hidden and just read your posts. For quite a while I've wondered if I should bother posting. On occasion when I've seen posts such as the blowing things up one I've wondered if its worth wasting my time to even become active in this...
