  1. The initial age of a given aircraft type.........
  2. The "West" dealt with nasty people long prior to World War II..........of course, many of those nasty leaders emerged after the "West" divested itself of Empires........No need to wheel and deal with tin-pot dictators when you "own" the joint...
  3. I've asked (you?) this before.........in what period of time was the Middle East "stable"?
  4. Explain how you've determined his motivation.........when he clearly stated: To add: So he clearly stated he didn't wish to further impact his political party, has welcomed his first child and will contend with his upcoming sentencing in the weeks ahead...........why would he want to stick around for further embarrassment to himself and his family?
  5. Ok, but how can you claim to know his motivation for resigning was his pension? Perhaps he didn't desire putting himself and his family through a partisan Star Chamber when the outcome is clear..........I don't see how Del Mastro has come away looking good.....
  6. Adopted Imperialist leanings? What do you base your view that Post-War the World lost its honor? I don't see a difference......
  7. I felt it a polite description of your point of view.... You've already attempted to define the parameters of this topic to a narrow minded meme that you agree with............For instance your previous post downplayed the targets of the recent RCAF air strike, but you then attempted to highlight the source of said targets.....when confronted with like examples from previous conflicts, you stated you don't want to talk about it.......... I don't really know where you've attempted to actually discuss anything........ Not at all........This is a political forum, people of differing opinions opine their respective views in nearly every post...Personally, I prefer logical discourse and find myself asking questions of varying people's opinions.
  8. I fully expect that in the first couple of months in 2015.......
  9. To clarify, your contention with his resigning is that he'll get a pension, not that he resigned?
  10. Who is sniping? I offered my opinion and historic contrast to the opinion you put forth........fancy that on a political forum. You're fine with reaching towards the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but have no interest in discussing other historic conflicts as a contrast to the current war against ISIS......Would relating to the Punic Wars and Crusades be as off putting in this conversation to your myopic sensibilities?
  11. You think it a load of crap that he resigned after he broke the rules by donating too much of his own money to his own campaign? Would you prefer a public tar and feathering? Maybe a lynching? What result were you pining for?
  12. I don't see your point with regards to whom built and paid for said infrastructure, now used by ISIS.........In my mind, its no different than Mers-el-Kebir, the bombing of French railroads or retaking Anderson Field during WW II..............Was killing Germans and Japanese any more or less honorable then killing members of ISIS?
  13. Engineering equipment being used by ISIS to divert water from the Euphrates to flood farmland and limit the drinking water to the residents of Baghdad..........
  14. No, CHARS will be studying various topics of research and will start housing scientists later this Spring.........And of course, the "water around the place" is currently frozen.........enough that the Canadian Coast Guards current polar icebreaker was unable to free the last supply barge of the season.....patrols can now be done by snowmobile.
  15. Replaced by the massive CHARS site here in Cambridge Bay?
  16. I'm in Cambridge Bay right now (Did you ever go to the Elk's club?) and the former DEW line site out towards the airport is apart of the current replacement for the DEW line...........
  17. Yet those very same factors affect scopes/optics........show me a scope, any scope (and I'd buy one) that will keep it zero with long term usage.
  18. In your view, why has there not yet been a rifle scope that can maintain its zero with repeated use?
  19. Yet none of that relates to the conservation of motion.........hence, shock damage induced by recoil negates the viability of any electronic device incorporated into a firearm over the life of said firearm.......there is no market for such a device.
  20. No, if gravity and the laws of motion worked as you've been stating, defying Issac Newton no doubt, no man could fire a gun more than once......
  21. What is "G's" a measurement of?
  22. Why not make it mandatory for everyone not to hurt their fellow (wo)man? Clearly.... Internal trigger locks have been a reality for decades........yet the public, police and military still procure guns without them.... Like they did with child porn?
  23. No, conservation of motion allows you to fire a gun.........
  24. Not confused at all, I unlike you, understand the science........by all means, indicate what variable represents G-force on a common recoil calculator....
  25. Again, you're arguing against classical mechanics and Newton.......if G-force applied as you suggest, it would be impossible for a human to fire a handheld firearm........
