Re: Obama the best adman for Sukhoi, Mikoyan, and Kamov ever.
Just search this board for 'ABM'. We've had many, many threads that deal with this and the ABM supporters always win, because the facts clearly support their position. That's nice. I haven't seen much in the way of facts yet. Anyway new thread, different members, new discussion. If you're tired of ...

Re: Obama the best adman for Sukhoi, Mikoyan, and Kamov ever.
The projects he listed all relate to ABM, Anti Ballistic Missiles programs. Ah thanks. That ineffective waste of money. I'd hardly champion it as an important military project that the defense industry needs in order to survive. Has it changed at all since 2005, or is it still like trying to hit a ...

Re: Obama the best adman for Sukhoi, Mikoyan, and Kamov ever.
No, it's just another example in the list so far of killing/cutting programs like GBI, KIE, and ABL. You'll have to excuse me if I'm not familiar with current acronym projects. Not everyone gets a stiffy for the military. A brief explanation of the projects and how they'd be useful would be a big h...

Re: Obama the best adman for Sukhoi, Mikoyan, and Kamov ever.
So in other words, it would be better if the US retain the F-22s and sell it to all their allies? More like it would be better if Obama's team were not massive fools, intent of gutting American defense programs. The US provides 3 billion in military aid per year in Israel. It's unlikely we'll get m...

Re: Atheists raising their children to be religious; I'm screwed
They could also be getting a lot of pressure from family members as well to raise them in a religious institution. Take TheManWithNoName's side note about his parents.

Re: A childhood favorite that's still a favorite
Uncooked ramen noodles used to be an occasional food when I was a kid. Since then I've graduated to cooking the noodles in water, deep frying them, then sprinkling icing sugar on top. It's pretty much the same thing from the uncooked but the noodles are more brittle and contain deep fried flavour go...

Re: Gun sales jump following election
Bear in mind that when the economy bottoms out in the USA, and you hit the bottom of poverty, you are well and truly fucked and desperate. Desperate, hungry people, or desperate addicts, will turn to crime to feed their needs. That'd be a nice point if it didn't ignore the issue of availability of ...
