  2. Hey this aint no stinking demoracy! That said, I don't always agree with Rhino, hell we've had some knock down ding dongs on here over the years, but I like him. I think he's a decent bloke and I'd be happy if he were allowed back into the fold. I vote bring back the Rhino!

  3. he also has a habbit of walkin away from the post once we get past the sound bite. Now for example I thinkthere is not much chance of JR coming back here to answer the questions that have been put to him, namely 'what do you have against the selfdefence laws'. Thats a shame because both us and he might learn somthing from the resulting conversation that would follow. However I'm begining to hink that some people are right in the belife that all he wants to do is take a pop at us on this side of the pond. If he really did care about the issue then surely he'd respond to these questions. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

  6. The US needs the UN. Because without it the job may go to them and they simply can't do the job. Not enough resources and look what happens when America goes it alone ie: Iraq so as much as people like to bitch about the UN, the UN is needed. Without it we just go back to the days of secret pacts and alliances and arms races.

  7. Sorry, but I don't see why any adult without a criminal record or record of mental illness should have to have a government approved reason. If you haven't already then check out these and reconsider wether its a good idea or not to let Neds run around with swords. http://www.nedumentary.co.uk/download.html When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

  8. Raw carrot is a bit of a laugh as well, its some youngesters right wing blog. A the social Affairs unit is a right wing thinktank, no suprises there then. Wherever possbile i try to make my sources fair. For example when discussing Arab Israeli affairs I try to ensure that where possible my sources are from Jewish or Israeli sources rather than Al Jazeera. Maybe John would better argue his point if he tried to do the same. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

  14. A true story explaining British Millitary etiquete: A Royal Marine Officer was on a course at Pirbright The Guards garrison) he was running a little late for breakfast and when he got to the mess there was only one other person there, a Guards officer wearing full uniform and headress. The Roayl Marine got some Rice Crispys poured some milk on the and sat down, looking down the table he asked the Guards officer to pass him the sugar. The Guards officer ignores him, so he asks again. Once again the Guards officer ignores the Royal Marine officer, then looking up says in a plummy accent 'When a Guards officer dines with his headress on it means he does not wish to talk to be be spoken to by anyone!' The Royal Marine Commando puts down his spoon, gets up onto the table, walks its length until his is standing in front of the startled Guards Officer and stamps on his bowl. 'And when a Royal Marine Officer puts his boot in your Corn Flakes it mean pass the FUCKING SUGAR!'

  16. In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from college. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed so Mbembe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot, and found a large thorn deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the thorn out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern look on its face, stared at him. For several tense moments Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later he was walking through a zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe and lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of the man's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the railing, killing him. It probably wasn't the same elephant.

  17. From another scource: Suicide terrorism -- it's not just for Islamic extremists My colleague Robert Pape, author of the soon-to-be-released Dying to Win from Random House, has an informative op-ed today in the New York Times about the strategic logic of suicide terrorism. The key fact is Pape's finding that suicide terrorism has more to do with foreign occupation than Islamic fundamentalism: Over the past two years, I have compiled a database of every suicide bombing and attack around the globe from 1980 through 2003 - 315 in all. This includes every episode in which at least one terrorist killed himself or herself while trying to kill others, but excludes attacks authorized by a national government (like those by North Korean agents against South Korea). The data show that there is far less of a connection between suicide terrorism and religious fundamentalism than most people think. The leading instigator of suicide attacks is the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, a Marxist-Leninist group whose members are from Hindu families but who are adamantly opposed to religion. This group committed 76 of the 315 incidents, more than Hamas (54) or Islamic Jihad (27). Even among Muslims, secular groups like the Kurdistan Workers' Party, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Al Aksa Martyr Brigades account for more than a third of suicide attacks. http://www.danieldrezner.com/archives/002076.html When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

  18. One of the groups that followed Hizballah—even exceeding it in both execution and number of incidents—was the LTTE, the Tamil separatist group in Sri-Lanka. The LTTE is unequivocally the most effective and brutal terrorist organization ever to utilize suicide terrorism. Between July 1987 and February 2000 it has carried out 168 suicide terror attacks in Sri-Lanka and India leaving thousands of innocent bystanders dead or wounded.[2] Its suicide unit, “The Black Panthers” is comprised of both men and women. One characteristic unique to the LTTE is the fact that every member of the group carries a cyanide capsule around his/her neck, which he or she may consume upon capture in order not to disclose the group’s secrets. The members of the “Black Panthers” unit have demonstrated their continuous readiness to die when they were surrounded by security forces. In many instances they blew themup or bit cyanide capsules rather than risk captivity and subsequent interrogation which could force them to betray their comrades. The LTTE has directed its attacks primarily against the highest Sri Lankan and Indian political and military personnel. It is the only organization that succeeded in assassinating two heads of states. Former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in May 1991 by a female suicide-bomber while campaigning for re-election. Sri-Lanka president Prendesa was assassinated in 1993 by a male suicide-bomber who had infiltrated the president’s inner circle, and even lived at the president’s premises for about one year before executing his mission. Suicide Attack Statistics by Organization Note: The basic definition of suicide terrorism varies among scholars and among official agencies, resulting in widely varying statistics. All agree that “modern” suicide terrorism reflects the phenomenon of terrorism in its most extreme form.
