    "My objection isn't to torture"

    Yes I had noticed you dont object to torture.

    Personally I would rather see torture illegal in both countries. Disembling about the reason for torture is to say the least amoral.

    When you get your own house in order then you can criticize others.

    Personally I condemn ALL torture, for ANY reason.

    What a pity you dont.

    Ah, I see, torturing foreigners SUSPECTED of crime is OK, (Just "Unsavory") sorry didnt realize that go about your business then.

    Is it OK to torture all foreigners *suspected* by the US govt, or would you make some exceptions?

    If Chinese law suspects these people are commiting crimes, and the then by your defintition it is OK to torture them. You cant have it both ways.

    And herein lies the rub, by using torture we in the West have lost our moral authority to complain when others do.

    Yawn, another irrelevant factually inaccurate rant. Can you do anything other than try and put a winning spin on a lost debate? It seems not.
    Here is a clue for you, when you started swearing and ranting you lost, everything since is a reflection of your inability to admit this to yourself.

    Volume of words does not equal winning an debate you know-oh going by your posts I guess you don't.

    What a poor loser you are troll.

    Still your repeated frustrated thrashing around has been vaguely amusing, thanks for the laughs.

    Seems like you are making a cry for help, do yourself a favour and after the badly needed
    reading comprehension course you could seek treatment for your various delusions of adequacy.

    I know its hard for you to face you poor thing but you lost it at the first post, along with your temper.

      You have tried to blame me for your own
    lack of ability to write calm reasoned words.

    At no time have I been anything but amused by your
    pathetic attempts at annoying me. I can keep this up forever, and forget you the instant the post is written.

    So go on post another vaguely amusing example of someone in denial, who thinks debates are won on word quantity rather than quality.

    Fun times!

    Ah, of course, yet another demonstration of your utterly hopeless reading comprhension.

    My point lost? Nah, you just proved my point won, you see I can take a vigorous debate and answer without swearing where you cant, you stamp your little feet and jump up and down like a 5 year old.

    Have a look what the mods have done to my posts, get the hint?

    Nah I didnt think so. You never managed a counter argument at all, (Except in your own mind) when you swear and are outwardly abusive you get what you deserve

    You find a simple statement of the truth an insult, grow some balls and try to be adult.

    Like I said go outside and play for a while and come back when you can behave like an adult.

    Meanwhile I will just sit on my growing karma mountain and watch the fun of you digging a deeper hole for yourself.

    By the way IF I was insulting you I would say something like "You are a brainless fuckwad weenie
    who tries to give the impression he has a clue about a subject then when he gets called on his ignorance by an expert has a temper tantrum" Now see the difference, take this as a lesson in what insulting really is.

    If you bothered to read and comprehend my post and the one I was replying, you would find you claimed one needed to spend thousands of dollars to learn to fly RC, which is evidently wrong.

    The soar birdy was an american (Joe Bridi kit) basic 2 ch design sold in the thousands, and would be known by anyone with a long term involvement in RC.

    I still have the models I made 25 years ago in perfect condition, and fly them about once a year,
    dut to a heavy instructing commtiment and time spent flying real sailplanes, which I find much more interesting.

    As for glo engines, all my recent visists to RC clubs have revealed more electric than glo motors in all cases. Are you in the backwoods somewhere?

    Why do you have a problem with my personal opinion of glo motors and powered flying, if you comprehend the writen word you would see that I said "I found power boring" not power flying is boring-idiot.

    "Advice like yours keeps people from getting into the hobby"

    Yeh right that has been my experience in the 30 years + I have been instructing model pilots.

    I frequently am asked to test fly new models, some of us can move from a foamie to a pylon racer to a glider and back no trouble, were not all as one dimensional pilots as you seem to be.

    Some presumptous slashdot dickweed lecturing me does not impress, especially when you were the one that made the revealingly ignorant and arrogant first post.

    Try a reading comprehension course, then you might be able to reply to things I actually did say in my post rather than your laughably poor interpretation.

    Your ignorance of models is revealed by the fact you dont even know what a soar birdy is. It was an all built balsa and ply 2 ch floater common some years ago.

    Actually, I designed and built kevlar, glass and carbon moulded F3B models 25 years ago, winning a round of the OZ nationals so I might just have more of a clue than you about model aircraft.

    Any of my F3B models could carry all the stuff you mention, it would be lighter than the designed ballast it carries.

    I have flown glo powered pylon, pattern and many other contest model types.

    The EPP foam models I have seen have been extremely robust, I have seen them arrive vertically at high speed with no damage. I never mentioned electric power in respect to foamies, many years ago I found flying power models to be boring and pointless compared to gliders

    Glo fuel, ha, the 70's called and want their engines back.

    Despite your claims, a cheap foam model is quite adequate to learn how to fly models of any type.

    Next time dont assume you have a clue about a subject your post shows you know little to nothing about.
