I assume they would have sex rather than fight.

I mean, maybe... but presumably they're playing Diplomacy first

Drizzt wins as Logolas can't resist convoying to the West

A battle between them would resemble a fight between a Spanish Galleon and a a modern oil tanker whose only weapon is the ability to ram. After the first amusing hour the following weeks would get pretty damned tedious. Oil tankers can't take much punishment, so the galleon would likely win in spit...

The first death star had no ship targeting ability, and took an age to power up its planet killing weapon anyway. The Borg cube is significantly smaller and has weapons designed for fighting starships rather than a space station the size of a moon. A battle between them would resemble a fight betwee...

Answer him yourself, you stupid fucking twat.

Left wing political activists and Rupert Murdoch don't have a great deal in common, but one thing that unites many of them is an unshakable belief in the power and influence of Rupert Murdoch. This is, of course, utter bollocks. The Sun, regardless of what it likes to say in its headlines, has never...

Piers Morgan isn't a Conservative. He's not a leftie either. I think he's best described as the lunatic wing of centrism. Well, not lunatic as such... more just deeply unpleasant. I don't know what political commentary you're listening to, but it sounds suspiciously like the brand of mindless optimi...

Does this human have a lifespan significantly longer than that of typical humans?

I am inclined to agree

I often hear people complain how its so sad that our society pays athletes more than teachers. Indeed, this is sad

It would be sad if it was true, but it isn't. Most professional athletes get less than teachers, and have piss poor career progression to boot

Not the nuclear site itself, in fact. Israel, in a brilliant display of hotspur, targeted the missile defence system that protects the nuclear site. So, the dialogue of the last few weeks can be summised as follows Israel assassinate Zahedi while he thinks he's safe in the fake consulate: "We're pis...

I am firmly of the opinion that Iran should be negotiated with, that their internal protests should be given every opportunity to succeed - rather than attacks which will risk a generation who trusts that only the government can protect them from foreign threats (like North Korea's dictatorship rel...

Why is that exactly? Is there just a very strong sense of affiliation between people and the colleges they attended as young adults? I think it's more of a regional thing than alumni. Two schools in an area develop a rivalry (or an interconference rivalry exists) and people jump on the bandwagon. I...

The responce i would expect from Israel would the bombing Iranian drone factories. Because that at least could be seen as self-defence/pre-emptive strike. G7. Maybe so. I guess it depends on whether they have identified viable targets that would seriously degrade Iranian capability. Or, or course, ...

So Israel provoked Iran by bombing their Embassy, what is the appropriate level of responce to someone blowig up your embassy and killing your citizens? What would the US or UK do in these circumstances? How has this changed the media narratives /likely good of further deaths in Gaza? The US and th...

I have to admit that the whole God fearing philosophy is somewhat alien to me. I guess you could fear God in much the same way as you can fear the sea or a storm. It's not out to get you, but it is inherently powerful and not what you can call "safe". But I can't say I ever have. Still, so far so go...

I was quoting the BBC. Yes, clearly Iran are using the Damascus strike as justification for this. What are find surprising is that you seem to agree with them in that this is a proportionate response to that strike rather than a reckless escalation. Time will tell. Best case scenario is that Iran ha...

Iran and Israel have been taking shots at each other for some time. Isolating that particular attack as the reason for tonight's action seems rather bizarre. A direct and large scale attack by Iran against the Israeli homeland is a very significant escalation and calling it reckless is a massive und...

Iran has launched aerial drones at Israel, appearing to mark a widely anticipated reprisal attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country's "defensive systems" were deployed. "We are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF ...
