Re: The fall of western civilization

Are you really as stupid as your posts would suggest? https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-finland-court-idUSL1N2OP1TV Indeed... So a law that actually went further in protecting children from sexual abuse and rape, is being twisted to suggest that it's open season for "migrants" to ...

Re: Big trouble if true

Nope, he said that Americans were in charge of the international brigade in the area he was in. Big difference. A number of American(and British and French and so on) ex servicemen have joined said brigades, are they "directing the fighting" too?

Re: Good news, there will be no WW3

1) the F117 was only ever a small run specialised project and was never intended for wider use and certainly not overseas sales. Much of it is still classified to this day. 2) anti tank weapons need time and distance to stabilise before they arm. In the video you link we don't know what type of weap...

Re: What are your thoughts on global population decline?

I have a funny feeling we're seeing that notion proved wrong at the moment, as the US falls to bits. It is odd though, wherever Europeans formed the majority of the population, they created the most succesful societies on the planet. I'm sure that was only a coincidence though,. :lol: While the Kor...

While I don't think the population is out of control, yet, I would believe that it's better for the planet and us to be smaller in number. About the most environmentally friendly thing you can do is have one fewer child. As each generation consumes more and more and the population goes up that's not...

Unless you place the barrel close to somebody's body a blank won't be lethal, but a live round can kill a mile away. Anyone han...
