  1. I have no skin in that particular game, but simplistically one is an elected government the other is a proscribed terrorist group. Swap countries of Hamas for the Afghan Taliban, does your viewpoint change ?. War is not a videogame, the first rule being there is no rules.
  2. Or to really dumb it down. You've bought a factory fresh ms500i but the factory only weld on a 100" bar making it unusable. Dave the competition down the road also bought the exact same saw. Both of you know they work and can test everything except cutting a tree. Does that mean you don't tell everyone you've got the biggest dick but can't use it or does it just become a wall ornament ?. So you both resort to using the 200 & 261 like everyone else.
  3. No you soft in the head hippy. Nuclear has nothing to do with proportionality, it's a big stick that stops any others from ever using theirs, effectively making them big paperweights. So, they use the same tried and tested air/land & sea warfare and forever shall. You're enemy does not care about you, rules, culture or hurty feeling as dead is dead.
  4. Seriously, that's your argument!. Fine, it's a deterrent and will never ever be used as that's the point of the biggest stick. My dogs bigger than yours and look at the leash, because we can't ever put the nuclear genie back in the bottle.
  5. Righht, war has no proportionality and even the most basic GCSE level of history education should have taught you that as a minimum. But, but, but Geneva convention. Yeah, the enemy generally doesn't give a toss about your rules of engagement or ethics unless you want everyone to live by a Knights code or practice with a bow on a Sunday?.
  6. I'm seriously questioning your logic and equally your common sense/naivety.
  7. Maybe he's a bit distracted with that Scotland legal case, probably getting dragged into a few high up meetings getting a dressing down legally and metaphorically?.
  8. FFS SP, they're glorified prisoners/slaves. And your quibbling about the which binary choice of faith, when you're locked up in a labour camp me thinks maintaining your religion might be the last of your worries.
  9. Kinda running out of ideas, but I did think. Assemble it without the input gear and see if it binds up again, just wondering if something is worn on maybe the input shaft side. So when it's assembled it's like a UJ joint that's not straight if you get my idea.
  10. I'm responding to the usual cut and pasted Peds bs that's just dredged/regurgitated internet findings, found on what I can only assume is a Facebook page dripping with tds drivel and hair dye. He doesn't even bother to actually write anything of his own thoughts, barely agent provocateur more patient zero
  11. There's a thin line between regurgitated drivel and TDS dribbling, my bets on you wearing a bib.
  12. So you're aiming for steaming quality of shite over quantity, gotcha. Elephant dung away, but most things you post are monkey enclosure quality at best if we're being honest.
  13. As per spud, is 4 fitted ?
  14. And if you have changed the hydraulic filter, like for like, never think finer is better. Plus does the tank have an internal strainer if it's had problems they can get blocked. Otherwise it's probably pump or drive coupler.
  15. I've used veg oil it kinda works, short term tho. Used oil definitely does, know a few farmers that leave fence posts in a bucket of the stuff so they don't rot in the ground like strainer posts
  16. We had shed with livestock absolutely dripping in the good stuff for decades and the wood lasted post www2 until about 5 years ago and had a bloody great bonfire. Telegraph poles even sweat in the summer, if it was a garden with kids I might be a bit more concerned. Even cuprinated timber is pretty terrible now.
  17. Duplicate
  18. And it's gar barge.
  19. You argue for 17 mostly as it's a close quarter calibre and fragments easily so ricochet is less of an issue. Personally it's more the lack of size of the entry and your relying on fragmentation and placement. Providing your not after match quality, you can pickup millsurp or cheap 223/556 for less than £1.50 each. Countryman derby is £17 per 30 or £44 for 50
  20. 22lr or 223 personally, hornet is going to be expensive to feed as it's an oddball and you won't be gaining much especially when you can get surplus 223 cheap. Was pushing 125m with the 22lr the other day and keeping it around 4", need a bigger gong to push 150-200. You soon get bored with 17, it's too bloody loud but amazing watching it explode on a steel gong.
  21. So I did you're little test and pretty much came out bang on centre, yet you then think that's a snide remark, rigggght overcompensating much ?. I'm self employed, I think you'll find with the hours I do there are paperboys under 16 getting more per hour.
  22. Wtf are you on about now. You can't bill your union hours for being on here
  23. The Political Compass WWW.POLITICALCOMPASS.ORG explanation of the Political Compass model Does that make you feel better?.
  24. New Labour under Kier aren't right of anything, all three are equally Left with wishy washy leftyness inaction. Reform are more centre/a little right of centre. Old labour pre tony was so right wing with blood lust, mad as a bag of frogs but you knew what was on the tin.
  25. Small c isnt doing any disservice to any of my beliefs or opinions. What's wrong with wanting the state to operate with as little of my money as possible and be as self sufficient as possible?. Same way as councils operated when they were local towns. There's a fag paper between all 4, you couldn't even tell the difference between any except reform!.
