Factually incorrect, on numerous levels. 1) "Armor-piercing" is a bit of a misnomer. Pretty much all rifle bullets will rip through "bullet-proof" vests. Vests are certified at various levels, providing protection from different types of handguns. Rifles are not included. If bullet-proof...

I don't really care what Yazidis religion is, unless it involves raping and murdering innocents. Are you seriously advocating wiping them out? Or letting them be wiped out? That is your answer as to why the ISIL forces in Syria got no support. That is apparently Evil vs EVIL, and there was...

If its not pro-Russian, it's anti-Russian. Since you do not agree with him on everything, you are Nazi Fascist Pig who only lies to achieve the destruction of Mother Russia. The Russian boycott is out of the news as a non-story in the US. The Teen Choice awards, a NASCAR accident, and the PGA...

Everyone in democracies votes in blocks, by definition. People who think alike vote alike. In other news, grass is green, the sky is blue. The game is to persuade people to your point of view, and become part of your block.

I am a Christian in America, and this is so incorrect I don't know where to start. There are a huge number of different sects in the US. Some of them disapprove of drinking alcohol. Most only disapprove of drinking to excess (getting drunk). Most American churches would disapprove of a woman...

There's tolerance in action.

Western airlines couldn't fly over Russia for the entire cold war. No difference here, only that Russian airlines are more limited in Europe than they would have been during the cold war. The net effect of sanctions is up to Europe - what they decide will matter. The US will fall in line, but...

Russia does not need to go over the EU to get to N. America - you go over the Arctic ocean for that. Keep in mind that flights from the US to Japan go over Alaska. Great Circles, people. Get rid of your Mercator projection maps. In any case, it would be silly and not beneficial to anyone...

Yes, if they can use the information to discredit India in some way. Both Indian and Pakistani partisans do it, and it's a bit disgusting. My own feeling is that it's less the crime than the reaction to it. Every country is afflicted with evil men, weirdos, creeps, etc. It is a problem when...

I agree - aircraft are more flexible than fixed site SAMS, or even mobile SAMs. Further, the US may build an SR-72 as a recon aircraft, in which case the Russians might want something that could threaten it. Running away is easier than catching up, and both aircraft are imaginary at this...

Not necessarily - that kind of speed is a disadvantage in a dogfight, as it increases your turning radius. You get a head to head pass, and the guy at optimal turning speed gets behind you - your only option as the faster plane is to keep going. If there are multiple bogies, you got problems...

haha unsigned int i = 1; while (TRUE) { if (i = i) printf("It's India's fault!"); if (i/2 = 0) printf("It's the Jew's fault!"); if (i/3 = 0) printf("It's a CIA plot!"); if (i/5 = 0) printf("It's America's fault!"); if(i/7 = 0) printf("It's because of...

My earlier post was tongue-in-cheek, but I think it gets to the heart of the issue here. OP says democracy is bad because "...it denies the sovereignty of the Creator and His absolute right to issue laws, and ascribes that right to human beings". OP says if you don't answer directly to God...

@Oldman1 It is still "envisioned as" (straight from LM's page). Anyone can write anything and try to get money for it. Call me when it's done. I don't want to be completely dismissive, you have to start somewhere. But don't start bragging till it's a done deal. "We're working on ____"...

How are you defining "better"? Getting on the front page of the newspaper with 1,654 dead to 65 or so Israeli dead is better? At that rate, you're going to run out of Gazans long before you run out of Israelis. How is Hamas winning here? Are they accomplishing some strategic goal by getting...

Personally, i'm not a fan of pipe-dream aircraft - fan-boys tend to exaggerate their existence, capabilities, probability of actually getting constructed, etc. There is a lot of "it will do X" where X is some imaginary thing. Sure, Russia is about to build Klingon Bird of Preys, yeah...

The USSR shot down 1 U-2, with missiles, in 1960, well before the MiG-25 was operational. No aircraft of the time could have done the intercept as the U-2 could operate above 20km. The U-2 that was shot down was reportedly operating at 70,500 ft (21.4km). Considering that the United States...

self-delete, better response already posted

hehe, yeah, its a problem for OP. Do you have a boss? do you do what he says? God! You're going to hell! The only way to pay the bills is to be a shepherd, answering only to your sheep (Oops! God!) Do you do what your wife says? uh-oh! Do you expect your wife to do what you say?! then...

I do not disagree at all! But, Europe in those days (and now) mostly doesn't blame the Muslim/Chinese/Hindi/African world for those problems. The Dark Ages weren't quite as bad as they are made out to be - the Renaissaunce was worst for wars, but labeled the time before them "the Dark Ages" to...
