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: Trouble in paradise

When I was a kid my mother was diagnosed with coeliac disease(before every oddball discovered or was told by a quack with crystals they were "intolerant"). She had a very bad case of it. Like proper allergic reaction stuff. Anyway my dad thought he'd give up the gluten too because she'd be...

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...

That Greek yoke has rewritten the books on early tech and how advanced it was. It shouldn't exist going by our knowledge of what they knew and their capablities. If it were never found there's pretty much nada in the literature that survives that would even hint at something that advanced. They also...

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.

No wonder that fitting spotlights was so popular years ago with the crap lights. Nothing really beats Hella 3000 for lights, followed by a Lucas 20-20s. I'd say a fair bit of that was a fashion thing too because of the popularity of rallying where the cars sported more lights than a feckin christma...
