    What is the reason? Is it because they're a war-mongering nation that starts wars against other sovereign nations?

    Name one war started by Israel. All the wars I have seen Israel involved in were started by other countries/peoples (Palestinians)

    Is it because we love apartheid?

    There is no apartheid in Israel. The Palestinians prefer to live the way they live. They have been offered full citizenship by Israel (if they stop trying to destroy it) or new land in Egypt. They instead choose to live in those tiny regions that Israel legitimately took from Syria, Egypt and Lebanon during the six days war. If the UN decided that the US wasn't the legitimate owner of Texas, does that make it true?

    Or is it that they stole the nuclear weapons program secrets from us and have agents riddled throughout the halls of power in the US?

    Now you are just getting absurd. Israel didn't need to steal anything, France and Israel worked together to get the nuke.

    The only country that went through the Arab Spring and maybe came out on the better end was Egypt and they had to beg the military to overthrow the legally elected government.

    You mean the country where they are condemning people to death for supporting a political party? Where the political party that won the last election was outlawed as a terrorist organization and so even interviewing them for a TV program is considered supporting terrorism and punishable by death?

  4. Re:How is this news for nerds? on Supreme Court Ruling Supports Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    What you are missing in your whole attempt to tear apart what I said with your nonsensical responses is one singular word "marriage". Hindus and Buddhists have their own ceremony that they call something else; they don't call it marriage.

    The word marriage does not predate Christianity, it comes from Christianity.

    Call your union whatever you want, stop trying to steal a religious ceremony (holy matrimony) for your own purposes. Marriage is another name for Matrimony, with the same roots in Latin, they are not separate things. But I guess you are going to provide citations to dispute what Wikipedia says is the root of the word marriage? Other cultures have other names for it, and the theft of the name marriage for a civil union by the US is predated by the religious ceremony, so trying to claim that the "Marriage License" that is the discussion of this string of comments predates marriage as as ceremony in the christian church doesn't make sense. The US wasn't formed until 1776, so 1184 is clearly before that.

    FTFY. When a country nationalizes oil, they are stealing from the people who paid for all the work/property that is in use in the oil fields. If you are ok with this, you should give all your property to the state because they need it more than you.

    Something that could take down an AC-130 is going to tear apart an A-10 just as easily. Inform yourself.

    The A-10 has two engines, mounted close together, so likely something that takes out one will shred the other. It can continue to fly with no hydraulics and half a wing missing. From Wikipedia I cannot tell if we have ever lost one, and it shows 6 AC-130 losses, all in Vietnam.

    The AC-130 is much larger, so is less likely to receive as significant damage from the same types of hits as a A-10. The engines are spread out, and there are four of them, providing increased survivability. The A-10 strafes, the AC-130 circles. The AC-130 is more accurate, as it always keeps its guns pointed on target.

    It is your choice, but as the Airforce has repeatedly said they want to get rid of the old ass A-10 aircraft, maybe they know what they are talking about. The AC-130 has been actively being replaced as airframes get older. The A-10 was last produced in 1986. Would you rather fly an aircraft that is 20 years old or 5?

    The AC-130 is actively being replaced though. I do agree, they are quite old, but from the Wikipedia page:

    The Air Force launched an initiative in 2011 to acquire 16 new gunships based on new-built MC-130J Combat Shadow II special operations tankers outfitted with a "precision strike package" to give them an attack capability, requesting $1.6 billion from Fiscal Year 2011 through 2015. This would increase the size of the gunship fleet to 33 aircraft, a net increase of eight after the planned retirement of eight aging AC-130Hs

    So they are decommissioning older versions and building new versions. I am not sure if those new ones are from brand new airframes though as they could be older C-130s that are being converted and refurbished.

    I don't believe that any new A-10s have been built in years. From the A-10 wiipedia page:

    The first production A-10 flew in October 1975, and deliveries commenced in March 1976. In total, 715 airplanes were produced, the last delivered in 1984.[16]

    The A-10 however is cheaper, and requires less crew to run, so it is the better platform from that perspective, but the AC-130's side mounted guns make keeping the guns on target and aiming way better.
