There wasn't a request for interesting trivia, just a simple "what is it?". I actually prefer the Mosquito but I can appreciate the history and design of the B-29. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Fifi is one of two surviving B-29 Superfortress aircraft (same model as the Enola Gay). First bomber to use pressurised crew compartments and a beautiful piece of engineering and aviation history. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

I voted for legalisation. For a lot of years, I had a job where I travelled all over the UK, spending no more than three or four weeks in any one location. I refused to get involved in the dating scene, as I would have felt dishonest and it wouldn't have been fair to the women either. The problem is that meals in restaurants, movies, theatre visits and bars get boring when you're on your own. My solution was to hire an escort for the evening, go to the theatre, have a meal and enjoy the company. There was never any pressure on the escort to have sex and on many occasions I've said goodnight after a nightcap in the hotel bar. If there was chemistry there, and the escort was happy to, then we'd spend the night together. I always considered my relationships with escorts in a similar manner to my relationships to other service industry providers - I was paying for her time and company. What happened during that time was between two consenting adults and no-one else's business. I also notice that nothing has been said about the rise of the male escort industry. I don't hear people complaining about male escorts being trafficked or exploited - double standards, perhaps? Male escorts do it by choice but female escorts are coerced? Anyone interested in the arguments for and against the "Nordic Model" should explore the English Collective of Prostitutes website as they're currently campaigning to have prostitution decriminalised in the UK. http://prostitutescollective.net/ ETA: In the interests of transparency, a good friend of mine is an independent escort who earned £30,000 last year. No-one coerced her into it and she does it because she likes the sex and the money. She also has very strict rules about who she accepts as a client. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

I wouldn't mind so much but as I understand it there's something in the game that ignores any distance travelled if you're moving faster than walking speed anyway. You have to be walking or stood still for any interaction with the game. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Just to show the true scale of the horror of just the first day, an artist created 19,240 12" individual shrouds (one for each soldier killed on 1st July 1916) and laid them out on a piece of grass.

Firstly, although Britain technically pays £350m per week to the EU we receive at least half of that money back in rebates, some is deducted because of our contributions to overseas aid meaning we actually pay around £160m per week but the tax receipts we get from EU migrant workers means that we were actually MAKING £120m per week as members of the EU (source - http://voxpoliticalonline.com//?s=EU+%C2%A3120+million+profit&search=Go We could make trade deals with other countries independently but then we'd lose the power of collective bargaining (you always get bigger discounts if there's a lot of you) plus the current government seems intent on cosying up to the Chinese, even though their state sponsored cheap steel will only be cheap while we have the ability and skills to produce it ourselves. Once all our steelworks close and we lose the skills and the facilities they'll be able to charge what they like and we won't be able to do anything about it. Anything you've heard about Muslim immigration, police no go areas, Sharia law etc are probably BS. In one of the largest Muslim areas, Bradford, Muslims, Jews and Christians get on well and often share facilities such as community centres etc. These are stories spread by groups such as Britain First and the English Defence League and are, in all probability, responsible for the murder of a female British MP by a far right extremist (although the press are portraying him as a lone wolf, mentally disturbed individual. His trial is, however, being conducted under terrorism protocols) The other thing is that we'll never cut our immigration to the levels that most of the Leave camp want because British universities accept thousands of overseas students every year (a high percentage of them Arabs) who pay millions of pounds to study here.

Other Troops an SAS soldier may be assigned to are: Boat Troop - Amphibious warfare and operations specialists Mountain Troop - Climbing, Arctic Warfare/Survival, Long Distance Skiing Mobility Troop - Vehicle mounted operations specialists, the descendants of the LRDG All will have attended the SF jump course at RAF Brize Norton as part of their initial selection/continuation training long before being assigned to a specific Troop/Squadron. There's been a bit of a brouhaha here because of the inquest into the deaths of three SAS recruits from heat stroke and dehydration while on the hill phase of selection. A lot of people blame the Regiment for their deaths but, IMO, a lot of it was down to their own stupidity. Even in the height of summer, there are plenty of springs all over the Brecon Beacons and given these are supposed to be the most self reliant troops in the British Army it doesn't take a genius to figure out that if there's no water at the checkpoint you fill up from a spring.

I currently have no tattoos, don't know whether I want any but I'm a long term blood donor (not missed a donation since I was 17) and having ink would mean an enforced 12 month layoff from donation and revocation of neonatal suitability for another full year after that so if I choose to have one it will be after the Transfusion Service sign me off as a donor.

Given equal time - Allah will win that battle. Allah is simply the Arabic word for God. It doesn't matter whether the person saying it is Muslim or Christian. If they're Arabic and praying in their own language (and why wouldn't they?) they'll use the word Allah to refer to God, irrespective of their religion. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

As a Brit with no dog in this hunt, can I ask a question? What was the original wording in the US Constitution that required an amendment and why, if the founding fathers saw fit to make an amendment is it so hard for modern day Americans to make changes to the same document?

Not actually related to this case but just interested to hear other people's opinions about a couple of issues: 1) How should the courts treat a woman who knowingly makes a false rape accusation. 2) Should anonymity be extended to both parties (not just the alleged victim) during the investigation and trial. By all means publicise the offender's name after a guilty verdict but not before. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

We have several bunches of right wing assholes over here who claim to have the interests of the British people at heart. Some of these hate preaching groups are the English Defense League and Britain First. Quite recently, we had very severe flooding in several parts of the country with some towns being flooded out 3 or 4 times in as many weeks and many families losing everything including homes and businesses. Where were the far right who claim to care about the British people? Off on a little jolly intimidating homeless refugees in Calais while the "unassimilated" Muslims were wading through floodwater and sewage to help deliver sandbags, provide hot food and dry clothing and help out the unfortunate people of Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire, simply because it was the right thing to do.

This is just my opinion as an ex-soldier but, in an active shooter scenario, doesn't having lots of armed, gung ho civilians running around increase the likelihood of hard working and under appreciated LEO's misidentifying the suspect and shooting an innocent person because I'm damn sure the LEO isn't going to be going around asking "Are you the good guy?". He's going to demand that they drop their weapon and if they don't do it fast enough, he's going to drop them. Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation

Just a little food for thought: http://deadstate.org/when-black-protesters-took-over-a-wildlife-refuge-in-1979-they-were-removed-in-3-days/ Although my personal opinion is that the wait them out, make fun of them and arrest them one at a time when they get bored policy seems to work well with these people.
