    Star Wars Stuff...

    If i had a lot of funding i'd pay Lucas to forget about bringing out any more star wars films.Going on the evidence of the last two the third one will be abysmal.

    Should Jurors be able to ask questions?

    Not at all..To ask a question in something as serious (potentially) as a trial in a court of law is a real skill and requires a professional.The job of the juror is to listen to and weigh up the information as it is presented to them.Asking questions puts them in personal contact with the...

    Size of navies?

    Good information lads.Just to put that size of fleet into perspective it took up to 2000 trees to make one large navy vessel. The British's very good relationship with countries like Thailand began by being lucrative trading deals for hardwoods and military aid for islands belonging to...

    Extremist political parties

    Yes but in whose eyes did they 'Screw up'.To some it was probably a noble cause that failed. Differing ideologies and political beliefs is what makes a Democracy.You either take it or leave it.

    Byzantines: Greek or Roman

    I vote for neither.The best description i have ever read regarding what the Byzantines actually were was in the Oxford study of the Empire. They said that Byzantium was a mixture of: 1) Greek intellectualism 2) Roman military history 3) Orthodox Christianity For me that sums...

    Extremist political parties

    Calling BNP supporters Thugs is just a convenient stereotype used by certain people to dismiss their viewpoint.The days of skinheads meeting outside of pubs on a weekend is gone.Time to wake up and realise that.Dont be so complacent. Consider this.There has been a drastic rise in the...

    What nation in HISTORY has been the best at wars?

    I voted for the UK.As Privatehudson stated the English/British have fought wars in just about every area and against the most varied opponents and won the vast majority of them.I agree Germany were superb in the two World Wars but i would still say the most important battles in WW2 had already...

    Lions led by Donkeys?

    I'll go along with that Kafka2.I disagree with the previous post though.I cant remember all the ins and outs but it was definetly said about the British.If it was also said about the Russians then i haven't heard that.

    Lions led by Donkeys?

    'Lions led by donkeys' was what Adolf Hitler said when describing the British army in world war one.He also said that the most formidable army would be the British army led by German officers. The saying isn't a myth it was actually said.A pretty good description in my opinion.Another quote...

    Captive marines paraded on TV - could be prosecuted

    I agree with rmsharpe.Let them play their little games.I don't think it will escalate any further but if it does it's not too far too pop over the border and get them back.

    Commodore rules

    They used to call it the breadboard here.I was more of a spectrum fan myself.Any self respecting computer fan realised that rubber keys were the way to go.

    Extremist political parties

    If you ban any political party regardless of ideology you are also effectively putting a muzzle on a section of the population that supports them or has similair views.How else do they make themselves heard..Bombs.?
