Re: So lets talk about the Red Dawn remake

It's not surprising they use the same plot as Homefront since the script for that was penned by John Milius who of course made Red Dawn.

Re: Suicide bus bombing in Bulgaria

Oh hey, I found someone on the internet advocating murder of innocents on an unheard scale in response to other deaths! Do I get a prize? Seriously, Julhelm? Your answer to an issue as complicated, nuanced, and murky as Islamic international terrorism is to nuke a sovereign country and kill more ci...

Re: Suicide bus bombing in Bulgaria

Yes, which country will win the invasion lottery this time as you chase a bunch of non state actors around like the Keystone Cops with Carrier Battle Groups? Ideally the right one, Saudi Arabia, followed by prompt carpet-nuking and salting of the scorched sands. But they're Good Guys (TM) so that'l...

Re: Generation Y less likely to drive

for anyone relocation within the same county or metro area should be a required willingness when looking for a new job, which is why one of the things that disgusts me about the "ownership society" is how home ownership basically hobbles your mobility to acquire good jobs with a very poor...

Re: Generation Y less likely to drive

My preconceived notions are based on the fact that I must have sent out about a hundred and fifty job applications a year since 2008 and been invited in for three interviews, none of which resulted in an offer. So what? That's a pathetic rate of application and actually a fairly high rate of uptake...

Re: Generation Y less likely to drive

Very few companies will hire you for a job driving their vehicles before you're 25 for insurance reasons, doubly so if you haven't got a lot of practical experience behind the wheel. Says who? I have several friends who have been driving professionally since 18. Several of these were truck drivers ...

Re: Physical assault by McDonald's for wearing Digital Eye G

Re: What happens when you treat healthcare like a service?

Still, Reitz says the pressures on dentists at corporate dental practices seem more intense. This. All of the private dentists I know of around here has that down as SOP. Last tim...

Re: Day Z, the post apocolyptic zombie survival game

And all of the above is still conjecture. I'd rather we know for sure before we go in and bomb the shit out of the government. It worked so well in Libya, after all.

Re: British nuclear future in crisis

Just because parts of an operation are subsidized does not mean the nuclear power part is, nor does it make them "quasi state cartels". I want you to prove how they are cartels, and how they are quasi-state. And while you are at it, name those "artificial barriers" as well. Well...

However, not all Swedes on this board share his position on other aspects of the state of the country; I for one see it as reactionary, right-wing and xenophobic, and would contest his conclusions as I have before.
