Re: royal marines

I don't think any country can boast the title of having the "best" military as I don't think you can qualify/quantify such a claim. I think the claim is egotistical at best, utterly useless at worst. As for military olympic games, they are just that - games - simulations at best. How seriously and ...

Re: royal marines

"The Yanks need the equipment because they're shitty soldiers." Sam, you know you can do better than that. I'm giving you an "F" and sending you to the back of the classroom for the rest of the lesson. Every country believes they have the best military in the world - France, South Africa, Israel, US ...

Re: Iran

Sam, seeing as I don't get the opportunity to post much, let me preface my post by quickly stating my political position. Even though I voted for Bush, I do not agree with all of his or the Republicans' positions. Let me also say that while I agree with the Democrats on some isuues, I disagree with ...

Re: Subjects you think should be compulsory at school:

Excellent list. I have a investment trading company/hedge fund here in the US that trades in stocks and commodities (Oil, etc, etc,). All the trading strategies used are based upon psychology and psychological patterns, along with volatility/risk models, which again are based upon psychological data ...

Re: RIGHTS OF BURGLARS

Thanks for the welcome. OK Sam, tell me what you would do if you were in my shoes. Let's set the scene for you: I am about 6ft tall. I'm coming at you with a raised carving knife. You do not have a gun. I'm in your kitchen between you and the only kitchen exit. I'm telling you I'm going to kill you ...

Re: RIGHTS OF BURGLARS

Robches, You are right about wrongful comparisons between the UK and US, but, unfortunately they do occur. As an example, you can fit England in the state where I live and we have less then six million people living in the state. A lot of people like myself live miles from nowhere and cannot rely on ...

Re: RIGHTS OF BURGLARS

Good Morning Sam, As you and I both know, you wrongly assumed from my first post that I lived in the UK. Nothing wrong with that. However, you credited UK gun laws for my safety. Now that was funny!!!! I let that one slide.!wink! You mentioned the gun violence in the US. You're right. It's terrible ...

Re: RIGHTS OF BURGLARS

Sam, with all due respect, you are posing hypothetical circumstances that I have already alluded to. Each incident is unique to the situation and individuals involved. However, I always assume the intruder is armed any time I think I may have one in the house although you never know until after the ...

Re: RIGHTS OF BURGLARS

Having used a gun on an intruder, and also the fact that I live miles from anywhere and consequently rely upon guns as my immediate form of protection, I'd like to offer some reality to counter an awful lot of hypothetical BS written so far. First of all, I am a multiple gun owner. All my firearms ...
