What's the point of declaring war against a dead man
What's the point in deliberately taking something out of context when the original is above? it is not clever at all, in fact it makes you look a bit dim.
It's been done before war was declared against Napoleon and supporters of napoleon so why don't they against bin laden and his supporters.
why don't they declare war against him?
The bold italics are a slight correction I have put in to make my dyslexic grammar clearer but it was still understandable originally.
(Also... were you drunk when you posted this?)
No and again taking something out of context and then slinging mud is childish and immature. (I was going to reply were you? But I'm not going to lower my standards down to your level)
Ther Germans found this out in WWII. They took over a monestary, which was protected under the Geneva Convention, and used it to launch attacks (it was a very strong structure). Well the allies were having none of that, it was now a military target and they reduced it to rubble.
the military should only brought in when shit is to be blown up and people are to die, horribly. The US military represents the pinnacle of mankind's awesome (and terrifying) ability to develop efficient ways to destroy lives and materiel. It should only, ONLY be used when the diplomats have failed and skulls need to be cracked.
this is the attitude that loses wars, no army that thought like that has won. Germany in both world wars France during the Napoleonic wars Britain during the American Independence war America in Vietnam all these nations or there generals had these attitudes at the time and lost.
It is not the ability to crack heads that makes an army successful it is the ability to know who's how and when to crack this is diplomacy at it's most basic and if you don't have that you have nothing but a bunch of thugs acting randomly not an Army.
I think your wrong about the Attitude of America's army I think they are and act a lot more professionally than you think.
Using body count as a way of measuring military success is a false misleading and immature way of doing things, during WW2 the Germans had a kill ratio of 3:1 and still lost the American kill ratio was still higher in the Vietnam war yet they lost. The success of Tet was not the ground it gained or the losses caused it was the physiological affect it had on American troops and policy makers was where it had its success. There are examples of this through history the charge of the light brigade has gone down in history as a blunder which it was, but due to the ferocity and suicidal nature of the charge and the willingness by an inferior force to engage a superior one that for the rest of the Crimean war Russian cavalry refused to engage British cavalry denying proper protection to the infantry. I'm not saying that being willing to lay down your life in a fight is a guarantee of success, after all the point of war is not to die for your country but to make sure the other guy dies for his, im just pointing out that body count is no measure of success.
the statement is logically equivalent to saying "you can't defeat an enemy who insists on engaging you even though he has less mobility and less firepower than yourself. This is laughably untrue, as any FPS can trivially demonstrate. Comparing reality with an FPS is laughable itself given the arcade nature of FPS you would be more likely to take out that huey with a bow than you would I reality, how old are you 15? And you obviously haven't seen what a one man with a petrol bomb can do to an AFV (tank)
Do they still teach hand-to-hand combat in the military?
Yes it is still a major factor in the British army, even though Hand to hand is unlikely these days it still happens especially when troops are to close to re-load in time. Additionally it helps build up aggression, build confidence that they have an other weapon's to fall back on and helps physical strength and speed. Also army's us these exercises to intimidate potential opposition, can't remember which conflict it was Bosnia or Kosovo, the UN held training exercises with the Sherwood foresters regiment in front of the cameras of the worlds news clearing out trenches at bayonet point. The Message was clear face us and you'll be stabbed.
Whilst the claim the open source software will devastate the economy is probably overblown, Mr. Sharp does have a point. Goverments _should_ purchase goods from their home country whenever possible, or from companies that hire the citizens of said country.
That's a good argument for open source software as that is what most of the local computer users know.
Let's face it, open source software doesn't seem to employ very many people. It's not good business for Governments to push products that are detrimental to the welfare of its citizens.
How is using open source that the locals know not good for the economy? besides if you spend less on your computers you can spend more on your staff.
O/T i know but the homes moore went to had PEOPLE in them at the time. Most people i know dont lock their doors when they're at home. But do when they leave. However Moore was trying to point out ( i guess, he really never prooved it ) was the People get home and lock the door behind them in the states. Maybe cause they live in a nation of fear.
Here in the UK most front doors automatically lock you would have to fidle about with the lock every time you came home to have it stay unlocked and then you have to remember to take it off again when you go out that's just to much hassle to do most people here just leave there doors locked unless they have a friend comming around. Do you remember when nobody locked there doors around here? Yeh it was because the buggers even stole the lock of the doors.--Terry Pratchet
The UK has it even worse, with the dominance of the government's BBC branch in the media landscape.
Have you heard of the Hutton enquiry?
Yeh the BBC is so the voice of the government that they constantly pointed out that the government claims of WMD's was complete Bull***T from the start? If the BBC is the governments moutpiece why did the government have to setup and rig an enquiry (The Hutton Enquiry) just to condem the BBC and clear themselves? Why is the BBC consistently the only station to question the governments policies instead of sucking up to them for favours? Despite Tony Blairs attempts to frighten and control the BBC it is more indipendant than ever, altough it does keep it's head down more at the moment.
It could still be a written policy but not published online and they would still be as responsible as before, perhaps more so because they where being secrative.
Citizens are forced, through an extremely heavy handed beauracracy (the IRS) of an overbearing government, to hand over a good part of their paycheque to subsidize farmers who can't make ends meet, steel makers that are uncompetitive, a wood industry that just can't cut it, pardon the pun, among a vast and endless array of special interests. Every citizen is forced to support a massive military, whether they like it or not, as well as a massive social structure (primarily for the poor and elderly). Every single citizen who can afford it opts into healthcare through a private insurer.
The citizens paying for ineficient industry's But that's like communism isn't it? surley Capitalism would let them close and die, after all it's about market forces isn't it.
Socialism (AKA Canada): Oh, they have universal healthcare like the rest of the world. SOCIALIST!
Don't you see if the population is healthy then they will start worrying about other things like what there tax is being spent, foreign policy etc;)
Hmm a discussion about alternative fuels and a link is put in with an alternative fuel is deemed offtopic oh weel thats one moderator that will never moderate again after the meta stampede, now this post, is offtopic first one wasn't.
drive a SUV and its fuel economy is better than that of many ordinary 2WD vehicles (22-27 mpg).
that is abysmal MPG most normal cars will do 35 MPG minimum new Hondas are 60 MPG average and some can do over 100 MPG (won't break down either), my 4 year old Citroen ZX turbo Diesel averages 35-40 MPG whilst driving hard and this is an engine that has no modern features not even an ECU. The website you link to shows that the best SUV's are about 20-30 MPG less efficient than the best cars and the worst cars equalled the Worst SUV's/Pickups. Suv's etc don't even come close to cars it not an every SUV has bad fuel economy attitude, more no SUV has good fuel economy as shown by the website you provided.
Frankly, I agree that the show is hot air. After all, who *doesn't* have distant cousins or former business dealings that they'd rather not be reminded of.
Once someone has mastered a particular instrument in music, they then enhance and personalize the music, make it -their- music, through improvisation. The English language is the same way - develop a mastery of the language and then extend it to better express yourself.
not really Changing the spelling of a word is like changing one note in a chord it does look/sound wrong. music is made up of relations beetween notes that don't change, it's what notes are used in what order and rythm that makes your music just like it's what word's in what order make up your essay the notes and words should never change e is e c is c. this is true even for jazz. Improvisation doesn't meen hitting random notes you still have to play what has been composed to sound like the song your doing.
How is that in any way bad? Mechanics charge upwards of $50 just to take a look at your car to see what's wrong, and this has been standard industry practice for a long period of time.
Only in america and a small handfull of rip off merchants here in the uk. little tip for everone main dealers charge more money for lower quality work most, main dealer mechanics rarley look under the bonnet. and now they can't insist to have your new car serviced at there high prices by them you can go and get a better job done by an indipendent who rellies on repeat customers and won't rip you off by charging you just to look at it.
But seriously we are a tough and tenacious animal we'll survive -probably with a heavily reduced global population- except for the volcano in the back garden i think most people would have to move away from that one.
Morning glory seed or salvia divinorium both legal (in UK) both trippy (the salvia is a lot more intense) there both similar to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Slashdot news for nerd stuff that..... Hey man every turned into a kaleidoscope
Saw a programe once where they filed loads of open topped tubs and soaked the material in a caravan in petrol then filed it with mobiles and turned them on and rung them all at the same time. Nothing happend next they got a guy wearing a shell suit and standing in a plastic bucket, so he wasn't earthed and then rubbed himself to build up a static charge then he touched a cable that they had feed into the vapour ridden caravan Boom. So it's more dangerous to wear a sheel suit than use a mobile around petrol fumes, which serves thoes 80's throw backs right.

No, it wasn't.
Sigh Yes they did The powers immediately renewed their declaration of war on Napoleon this was done deliberately to try and separate napoleon from his support. Know what you're talking about before replying
why don't they declare war against Him?

The Germans ocuppied Monte Casino after the Allies Bombed it General Bernard Freyberg, who was in charge of the infantry attack, asked for the monastery be bombed. Despite claims by troops on the front-line that no fire had come from the monastery, General Harold Alexander agreed and it was destroyed by the United States Air Force on 15th February, 1944. Once the monastery had been bombed, the German Army moved into the ruins. As Basil Liddell Hart pointed out later in his book The Other Side of the Hill the bombing "turned out entirely to the tactical benefit of the Germans. For after that they felt free to occupy the ruins, and the rubble provided mud better defensive cover than the Monastery would have been before its destruction. As anyone with experience of street-fighting knows, it is only when buildings are demolished that they are converted from mousetraps into bastions of defence." This was confirmed by the Abott of the monastry at the time and is now accepted by the majority of historians that there the monastry was unocupied until was bombed only those who weren't there seem to deny it.

Why don't they declear war against Him? because then they would have to get results instead they switch him with an easy target, Saddam.

Hindi is the language. Hindu is the religion It could have been Hindu perhaps they have an article of faith about not giving bad tech support?
"Just a bunch of citizens" meeting in secret and nosing into anything a prosecurot thinks might be a sign that a crime might have been committed.
Alas poor justice i knew it well. Justice must be done and be seen to be done, other wise how can you have faith and trust in it?
