I am inclined to think that the India anti-terrorist forces were ill-prepared for this attack, but overall I am overwhelmed by the level of hate, and coordination, that this attack demonstrates. This is somewhat different from the type of attack that Pakistani terrorists usually pull in India, so probably India was caught off guard. Urban warfare against radicals who don't care about human life tends to put the defending/neutralizing forces at a serious disadvantage with regards to the tactics which can be safely used. I am guessing that even the US military would find an urban warfare situation challenging. It not easy to safely raid a building; just look at what happened at the Waco siege in the 90's.]]> Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:27:47 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/288602/Re_Sons_and_Daughters_of_the_C#Post288602 Posted by Helice:

[quote]These were dogfighting exercises though, where the participants weren't allowed to use any long range weapons or sensors and were fighting within visual range...the engagements were close with no AWAC support and the F-15s/F-16s were generally outnumbered.[/quote] LOL...So, what we had was a rather handicapped exercise, no? As I mentioned earlier, the F15 and F16 are older aircraft that rely on electronic-avionics improvements for their lethality. Flying VFR, fighting without AWAC coverage, and denied the use of any long range sensors one hardly expects a 1970s era aircraft to beat one from the 1990s or 2000s. Hell, in our own Air Force exercises like Red Flag under similar rules our A10s beat F15s and F16s because they are far more manuverable and can out trun and out gun the fighters. On the other hand, in any sort of real world engagement an A10 would get splashed by an F15 or F16 before it ever even had the chance to see it.]]> Mon, 01 Dec 2008 06:57:46 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/288553/Re_Retired_General_Looks_Back_#Post288553 Posted by Matt:
First things first, the fall of Russia as a super power was caused by many factors with the most important factor being the expense of keeping up with the United States arms build up. It is true that we should be looking at history because right now, Russia is and they see we are weak economically and they are building relations with many resource rich nations that never have liked us much. Many threads ago I wrote about the battle lines being drawn with the teams being decided. Russia voted to approve allowing Putin to serve as President a third term, this may be the straw that breaks the camels back as I believe Putin is as nuts as Irans leader. We very well may find ourselves up against Russia, Iran, venazuala, Cuba, Syria, Pakistan, and many other countries if we are not careful. Cina is a wild card, will they side up with Russia and demand bond payment or right the debt off and make agreements to take the equal value in coal pending a successful winning of such war?

[quote=lizbeth] Mainly, I worry about her--always and ever. [/quote] Of course you do! There are several precautions Ellie must take if she decides to camp solo...or if camps with others for that matter. She has intuition and must learn to develop this sense. She can accomplish this by ...first considering her surroundings. Always become really aware of where you are. This means visiting the spot multiple times, for a day trip, with friends or family camping...etc. She should hike through area, familiarizing herself with plants, animals, elements...even the sky. If there are other people in the area, she should study them. Note their actions, how they camp, etc. In the future, this exercise will aid her in recognizing when someone is "out of place". She should always be in touch and listen to her intuition. Personally, if I were to camp alone in a truck with only my dog accompanying me, I would feel safest far away from people. The more remote (away from people), the better. It is easier to contend with animals and the environment than it is a human predator. There are precautions she can take to ward off large prey like bears and mountain lions...as well as smaller prey, like raccoons. The less she has to use a gun or rifle, the better her chances of not accidently shooting herself, or Bentley. I used to suba dive often.

I on the other hand liked to swim slow and explore the ocean bed, and just stare at the seaweed forests and watch fish swim...it was like watching a ballet. Just beautiful.

RNG, It is hard to answer your question in the American situation. I am not aware of the amount of regulation there in the past. In Australia although our first bank was private, Labor governments soon started Commonwealth and State owned banks, They were never monopolies as there were still private banks, Labor governments have tried to regulate Banks after their role in prolonging the Great Depression here.(see Website) However in recent years the government banks have been privatise.There are now four major banks in a near monoply situation.

Liz, I think Jo believes we do not yet need such an extensive job creation program. I think he is probably right given that unemployment amounts to only about 6.4% at the moment. On the other hand, I do not see it as so much about job creation per se. I see it as more about rebuilding-building critical national infrastructure. The job creation is simply a fortunate side effect of the effort. WHile I suppose we could do it in the traditional fashion and issue government conracts to private firms to have the work done, I would probably avoid that in this case.

Hi Myrddin: You wrote: [quote]... Christians believe that both God and Satan are separate from Man. [/quote]This is part of what tatsu explained to me by coining the phrase 'GOODEVIL' as being all one and ironically it caused me to take the Christian/Western concept of separation and the comments of tatsu to see that while GOODEVIL was certainly all one in that it is the sum total of all of life's actions, those actions can be divided in those which cause life and those which cause death. Now I have seen you write about how we are all one with the whole of the universe and I do understand and agree with that especially from a physical point of view especially if the concept of a Creator is not taken into account. Daresay I would probably believe that way myself if I didn't believe there was a Creator. And that is the point of a created existence. The universe was created to give a real life first hand experience to all humans that will have ever lived what kills us and what causes us to live. It will take about 7000+ years for the Creator's plan to develop this reality show in the physical so that we can come to know exactly what is good, that which brings life, and exactly what is evil, that which brings death. When ALL have been properly 'schooled' in this ALL will have to make the choice of either accepting to be made good by the Creator, never to do evil again, or reject a life of only good and die, mercifully, for an eternity. You wrote: [quote]... the idea of Satan is connected to the idea of removing personal responsibility.

I would have to say that you have a point SCG. I'm young and even still I can't think back to a single time when "love" has done anything for me aside from put me into a position where I either hurt someone or get hurt by someone. I think we like to buy into the notion of a "soul-mate" and "true love" because we want to believe that there is something in this world that we can attain, which will elevate us to a greater understanding of the world and enrich our lives with eternal happiness. The problem is not in wishing for these things, but expecting them to be born through a relationship with another human being. We, in our very nature, are imperfect beings who make mistakes. This alone disqualifies us from being capable of filling a gaping void in another, especially when the expectation is of perfection. What I find more often then not as the driving force behind this search for the perfect other half, is the result of a person who has failed to achieve self-actualization or is simply unfulfilled. The voids we find within us are likely the result of other things in our lives that we failed to do for ourselves, or were deprived of, and are not likely to be filled by forming a relationship with another person. To expect another person to fill such a void and be our perfect mate, is well... unfair. I won't say that "soul-mates" and "true love" do not exist, but I will say that I have never seen or experienced either of them. As far as my ongoing field study known as life is concerned, my conclusions can only go as far as to suggest that while they aren't likely to exist, I cannot know for sure. As for the definition of what love is... well that's hard to say. For some love is an action. A mutual exchange in which both parties gain. For others it translates to the willingness of one individual to place the needs of another before his own. What's interesting about it, is that it can only exist within the confines of a relationship.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, and mainly for budgetary and cost overun reasons, The World Headquarters will no longer be in the Superhero selection business. Superheroes are simply too expensive to locate, investigate, and designate. And very often, once a Superhero finds out he or she is one, they stop doing the very things that Superheroes are supposed to do. They become couch Superheroes. The World Headquarters apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause those who depend on Superheroes to save them from various life or death situations. When the world economy turns around and Superhero superfund money is more plentiful, we will once again invest in this market. Thank you, and as always, I am THE World Headquaters Man who is in charge of the entire world, including all Superheroes and their pets.]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:09:29 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/288080/Re_The_Difference_Between_the_#Post288080 Posted by Grams:
Hello WindDancer, Well what can I say ? I am just trying to help ? In understanding my bible , and trying to figure out why there is so much difference in religion , I can see why there are so many non - believers ! Religion some times does more harm then good ! People are trying to save them self, thinking God needs help. People from the beginning of time have told God they can do it there self ! And if they want to do it then they have to pay the consequences ! God of the bible has told man right from the start what HE wants man to do. But man keeps telling God that he can do it him self. The rules are very easy ! But man does not want rules. God just said it first and man does not like that ! ]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:15:13 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/288048/Re_New_Gun_Purchases#Post288048 Posted by Lees:
Im not so sure that a background check would be that easy. Unless the individual was going to purchase a gun from the gun dealer who has the FFL, the ATF may frown on such a background check. ]]> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:59:31 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/288040/Re_Is_History_a_science#Post288040 Posted by aus22:
Of course History can not be predicted that someting will happen next year . As Lawmage said it is best for a longer time scale. However anyone who reads history will see many repititions. Our society anf thought patterns are not much different to the times of Plato or the Roman Empire. In some ways we are more influenced by them , than advances in science.]]> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:12:32 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/288019/Re_Obama_quot_Don_t_Bring_In_C#Post288019 Posted by Chocolategenii:

I doubt that the US would give up the dollar and I doubt that the Europeans would give up the euro, so no comment currency. At most they would discuss give the dollar and the euro price parity temporary, but I am not sure if that would work out well; it would involve artificially inflating dollar value or greatly devaluing the euro. ]]> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:36:58 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/287947/Re_Idiopathic_Stabbing_Headach#Post287947 Posted by Aint:
Thanks, George. Your symptoms do sound a lot like mine. My doctor and neurologist (and web sources) have all said that with neuralgia and ISH people can sometimes manage just fine with less than 300mg per day of just about every prescription medication prescribed. I'm taking the Gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg once a day and sometimes skipping a day. The docs said I should try that. Originally, they said I could go as high as 300mg three times a day to get relief. So far, so good. No more pain. Towards the end of a skipped day I do [b]sometimes[/b] feel a 1 second tingle in the same area I used to feel pain. It doesn't come with anywhere near the same frequency of occurrence though. I'd like to try going down to 100mg once or twice a day and then down from there. The less I have to take, the better. No noticeable side effects so far. My balance is great. No sleepiness. No mood changes. No weight gain or swelling. One thing that does still concern me is the possibility of a misunderstanding of why I'm on this medication. It is used to treat various mental disorders and as part of a methamphetamine detox program. I'd hate to be incapacitated and not given the most appropriate treatment due to false concerns for my mental health or drug problems. I carry my PDA a lot and have put in it that I use this medication for ISH. I'm considering putting a note in my wallet, too. The doc wants to see me again before Christmas. Maybe we'll do blood work. ]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:39:36 EST http://foolmoon.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/287943/Re_Will_the_CERN_particle_coll#Post287943 Posted by Anonymous:

I think the Munchkin hanging himself story has been disproven, but here's why I don't think it's real. There are always a lot of people on a movie set. Even when someone appears to be alone in the desert, you have the director, cameraman, sound man, boom operator, sound editor, lighting man, lighting technicians, gaffers, stagehands, a script girl, craft-services (the food cart), drivers, assistants and assorted hangers on on the set. So given business as usual on any average day in 1939 Hollywood, someone on that set would have said something. Particularly among the numerous munchkins who were not seeking to make Hollywood careers for themselves, and so could talk freely. So I say it's all pretty much a made up story, but I'm willing to listen. ]]> Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:34:34 EST
