I think some evolutionary biologists would take issue with the last few items on your list. Altruism is only altruism if it's voluntary, forced altruism is theft. Lawrocket's altruism is simply more refined than yours, he understands that in robbing Peter to pay Paul you make it much more difficult for vast numbers of people to provide for themselves.

How the US sent $12bn in cash to Iraq. And watched it vanish
dorbie replied to no7rosman's topic in Speakers Corner
It was Iraqi money. -
Is that why you said, "Pounds are units of weight, not mass. Same with grams and tons"? The attached image should explain things.
-
P.S. or do we have to call him the First Gentleman? Oh the irony!
-
Isn't that reason enough to vote for Hillary?

You have omitted the units for one of your terms. Kilos * 9.8 what? That should be 9.8 N/Kg, hence the result is in Newtons, a unit of force, and very different from Kg a unit of mass. Pot calling the kettle black if you ask me.

P.S. I think he's implying that because the UK are the only English speaking country in Europe, they are excessively affected by the negative cultural influence of their violent cousin over the pond. John, you really need to stop the America bashing.

Quit posting and get out there & fix this!

Say what you like just don't attribute it to me.

I had a friend in third grade whose grandfather had been a missionary with some cannibal tribes in Borneo or someplace like that. Apparently people taste like pork. These days, Americans probably taste like bacon Wendy W. The way I heard that one, the some cannibals called human flesh "Long Pig". From memory I thought it was pacific islanders but I see it was very specific Polynesian islands.

Oh come on even I appreciate the irony of that one. I didn't realize he was in a shithole bitching from across the border. It explains the self-loathing.

Oink, oink! Pass me a truffle.

The guy is a retard, he should recognize a lost cause before bothering with this. Oh well, his lawyer has gotta pay rent I suppose.

No that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there are at least two groups being discussed in the video. They eyeballed them both for different purposes and saw that the one they attacked had friendly markings before they attacked it. The two groups and references to relative locations in communication with the forward air controller seems to have caused some confusion.
-
Shred your US Passport. Your vitriol amuses me. You arriving in America to bitch that it's not to your liking despite the shithole you left amuses me. A lot of places wouldn't be shitholes if people got off their duff and made them better instead of bitching constantly about unrealized fantasies.

Fortunately those particular dopes don't consider themselves the world's policemen, entitled to invade any nation that they don't like. Neither do Americans, and Australia is helping out rather nicely in the "coallition of the willing".

I would like to know on how you have confirmed facts that England, and other countries never accidently kill each other due to friendly fire, Just America? Your substance thus far displayed in this thread siimply shows that you have a burning hate towards America, that's it! Well, it is a fact that in Gulf War I, 38% of British fatalities were killed by US forces. That's a pretty piss-poor record, don't you think? Thanks largely to 9 deaths in a single incident where two A-10 warthogs attacked British APCs despite friendly forces markings on the vehicles and without getting adequate clearance from the forward air controller. Sound familiar? For the US in that same conflict the figure was 17 percent, or over a hundred casualties. That is not an insignificant ratio. It almost makes it worthwhile for Americans to give a shit about this.
-
The guy was merely a suspect until he engaged in a life or death struggle with the armed officers in an attempt to evade capture and many years in jail. It's a pitty YOUR politics has you destroying the lives of two officers. Maybe you missed the part about the wound coroborating the officers' version of events. They weren't cops they were borderpatrol agents, and your post is riddled with assumptions.
-
Again.

Ask an Australian or a Brit to point to Montana on a map. It's almost 10 times the area of Switzerland, why the heck can't those uneducated dopes locate it?
-
The worst thing about that video is that there are just as many dopes in Australia. Americans don't send TV crews to Australia to mock the people there back home. Unfortunately when all those Australian dopes see this highly edited footage of the worst people the camera crew could find on the street they actually feel superior, especially the REALLY dopey drongos who are too stupid to work out what is actually going on.

Bullseye. It is unnacceptable and does immeasurable harm. The DoD inquiry results have not been released to the UK either. This is an ongoing disgrace. It was absolutely pathetic to see a statement from the DoD granting permission for the coroner to fully use the tape the day after it was all over the tabloids, internet and TV. The only entity to come out of this with top marks is The Sun newspaper, and that says a lot.

Well being that everyone, including you, is getting on the anti-American bandwagon, here your proof that it's not just Americans. It's fucking war. Mistakes happen, and people die. We all talk about how, in skydiving, even when everything is done right, we can still die. War is much more dangerous than skydiving, yet we expect no lives to be accidentally lost. Yeah, okay. Unfortunately there can be no tally of lives saved by American close air support. It massively outweighs the FF incidents and makes advances possible that otherwise wouldn't be.

On your final remark, I don't think the reveted vehicles are the same group they attacked. My take on this was they were spotting for artillery rounds or asking for marker rounds on a group of reveted (that's stationary dug in behind earth berms) vehicles and 36 kept drawing attention to a different group while 35 was focusing on the original task. This caused some confusion about specific locations especially w.r.t. the FAC, and irritated 35. In other places there's clear reference to the targets as moving, or coming up on a village, those can't be reveted. Two groups and this was part of the communication problem.
