Don't panic Mr Cameron .... just keep calm and carry on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28967904
Cameron is so arrogant he won't change but today it was announced that net migration to the UK was 243,000 last year, Cameron has promised 50,000. He and his Old Etonian cronies seem to be the only people that don't realize there is a problem ..... he talks tough but acts like a pussy !!

@krellin,

Bo's comment was clearly a light-hearted remark. Moreover, he didn't attack you as a person. He made a very very mild comment about your supposed beliefs. What you think as an attack on you doesn't make any sense and then you go all out and attack bo. We have had a very pleasant forum in the month that you were gone and within days of you being back and remarking and instigating, things devolve again. If you can't figure out what you need to do to keep the forum pleasant, I suggest you do not use the forum or find another site to use altogether.

Thank you for understanding.

I had leftover homemade Indian curry with homemade cheese, grilled lemon chicken and rice. It was delicious. It was much better than my usual hummus and crackers lunch. Thanks for asking, abge. :)

As much as bo's comment barely registered on the Webdip Scale Of Personal Insults (less than half a Sopi, I'd say), it does seem a tad bizzare that a member who has been through the mill because of his broad range of personal attacks is the one chosen by our grossly underthanked mods for a lighthearted personal attack. It seems a staggeringly poor choice with very predictable fallout.

Still, as that fallout included jmo listing some of krellin's best bits I have no complaints :).

As to the OP, my opinion has in fact changed considerably over the years. When I was 9 I can't express how strongly in favour of giving sub machine guns to 9 year olds I was. Now, not so much...

When I was 9, I made guns out of paper and got yelled at for it. I don't really understand why but I guess the apparent lack of gun control in this country is a big deal to instructors, reasonably so. Were I to do that today, I'd probably get suspended...

My opinion has changed considerably over the years, when I was 9 I really thought America was a cool place to live because they had Hawaii Five-O and Hill Street Blues & Columbo & Taxi & The Eagles & Simon & Garfunkel & Elvis Presley & The Jackson Five & The Osmonds, etc, etc ...... they did a good marketing job on me but I grew up and now see the place with adult eyes, reality bites !!

The girl was not strong enough to control the Uzi's aim with the recoil. The big strong and dead instructor and her parents that filmed it didn't consider that one fact.

If it had been an amusement park ride or driving a vehicle, she wouldn't have been allowed to do it until she was physically able to do so. Even adults have trouble controlling a weapon with recoil.

I honestly don't know where I stand here. I think the best thing to say is allowing children to fire weapons should be at the range operators discretion. If he/she feels comfortable with the child firing the weapon then i say let it be. But likewise I feel the child should have to get a license to fire the weapon this passing a safety test.
NigeeBaby (100 D(G))
28 Aug 14 UTC
Byron you don't know where you stand, because you are a cretin...... why do you think 9-year-old girls should be allowed to fire machine guns, think about what you are saying.
It is absolutely moronic to teach 9-year-olds to fire machine guns, what purpose does it serve the individual, the family, her friends or society, where is the value added?
A licensing system for 9-year-olds to fire automatic weapons, are you a nucking futter?
Some people are so fucked in the head they don't know what they are saying, let me spell it out, it is fucking moronic to let small children fire machine guns, if you can't understand that go get your head examined.
How many idiots does it take to teach a kid to shoot a machine gun, you are absolutely fucking mental, end of....

Behaviorism
According to Wikipedia, “The behaviorist school of thought maintains that behaviors as such can be described scientifically without recourse either to internal physiological events or to hypothetical constructs such as thoughts and beliefs.”

Do you think this is appropriate? If so, does that make you optimistic or pessimistic about the prospects for human happiness?

Fairly Cheap Website Hosting and Webdesign
€7,50/month, €90/year to host a site with up to 5 GB of space and monthly bandwidth, my help when needed, many 1-click installations, webmail accounts for your domain, excellent reliability and English support. Easy. Quite all-inclusive except domain registration. That’s £5,99/month or $9.93/month. International transactions cost a bit too. Prices change. You can make me a personal offer. Price for webdesign depends on workload but think 3 digits. More inside.

What would happen if I convoy an army from Belgium to Holland using my fleet in the north sea as well as order my other fleet at Holland to move to Belgium, simultaneously?
Is this possible?

PS: I know it would be same as ordering F:Hol->North Sea, F:North Sea-> Bel, A:Bel->Hol; but just curious. ;)

Gunboat support moves
I'm in a no messaging anonymous player game where I was dislodged because one player supported another into my territory. How common is it that without messaging a player would know the exact move to make to assist another? Should I report this to the mods? It just seems suspicious as there theoretically shouldn't be a way for the two players to communicate....
