I do apologise Erik..I meant to post in the Arena

Anyway....you know Paedophiles?...well..

Let's get this into some kind of perspective though guys. Yes, the Nazis were brutal...but they were certainly not the first, and if Kosovo and Rwanda are anything to go by, they won't be the Last. The Schindler's list guy...of course you are going to get psychopaths like him, jumping on a bandwagon such as Nazi Idealism..it's an ideal playground for sadistic creatures to come out of the woodwork, and indulge their sick fantasy. This is not a 'German' issue....it's a Human Being Issue...Hitler emerged through a unique set of circumstances..like a terrible accident..it's a chain...break one link, and the accident doesnt happen...at least, not this time. IMHO the German people have been made to remember Nazi brutality for long enough by far!....Whereas, the Japanese seem to be allowed to just get on with it! (although two atomic Bombs was quite a telling off however) The terrible things that the British Empire did throughout it's reign, is certainly questionable...the systematic destruction of the Native American's is a black Mark on the USA..everyone was at it!still are...Just the losers have to pay sadly...and boy..do they pay!!

Well, let's chat about France shall we? The sixth largest Colonial power in History?....If France had a stake in the Falklands, she would be hanging on to it, thats for sure. Let's not forget, the Falkland residents don't want to be governed by Argentina..to a man!...they should have the final say who has priority surely?

I can understand what you mean Olham. I'm a great believer in comedy being used to ridicule human stupidity...I think it's better to make Buffoons out of those we fear. My dad always told me, that if I am ever in front of anyone I find intimidating..to just imagine them taking a dump! (works for me)

Sounds interesting. As far as Viewers re-enacting the plot?..well, it possibly only takes a few warped individuals to come together (which seems to happen more and more with the Internet) and anything is possible! There certainly seems plenty of warped individuals in the world...hence the reason, I spend most of my time with Dogs!

Hale and Pace, who were popular in the 1980's in the UK Quite Amusing Ja?.... The Pilot is my old Squadron mate, Harry 'Squiffy' Muldoon...lol

Yeah, I'll probably give that part a miss...being the sensitive type Yes, Matt is going to write up a little bit about the atrocities commited by them (talk about a forgotten war...we seem to have brushed a lot of what ghastly things the 'Imperials' did in WW2 and before) At the risk of sounding Rascist...I won't knowingly have anything in my house of Japanese origin..Just my personal taste..it can be taken in whatever vein...I'm not fussed.

Can't say I have Olham..any good?

Really need some Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vo9HiwnUko&feature=related

So, Argentina conduct their Foreign Policy via Twitter now eh? No wonder the Falkland Islanders want to stay British!

Posted in the Pub...but I like it so much...I am posting it here too

Especially, when one of the subjects doesn't know how to talk! Truly...they are a man's best friend!...I love this photo....kinda sums it all up! Welcome home Soldier, from your loyal friend!

Thanks Guys I have been using the Nvidia DDS plugin with CS2 for OFF skinning...and I think I've just about cracked it, as Matt says. It's a Dxt5 as opposed to the OFF Dxt1 Many thanks chaps :)

If you pull this off Olham, it will be your best skin yet!...fine work

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chile/8053336/Chile-miners-joy-as-rescue-tunnel-reaches-underground-chamber.html Certainly not an enviable 'World Record'...but great to hear they will hopefully be reunited with their families and loved ones soon. Congratulations to the Rescue team, on a job well done...let's all wish them success in the final few days

A big thank you from us all in the OFF forum, for extending a welcome to us, as the Forum Noobs! We love it here!

At times like this, I think the Chinese have the right idea. Death by firing squad...invoice the man's family for the price of the Bullets used!

Flypc...I can't thank you enough for this link! My 12 yr old son, is currently doing a History project on WW2...and unlike his classmates (doing the British, American, German versions) his is about the Japanese...and this offers a wealth of pictures etc! Looks like I won't be getting on this computer much over the W/E Thanks

I'm surprised Chernobyl escaped you there Lexx! It will boil down to a Money issue, resulting in lack of maintainance and corner cutting no doubt! (usually does)

Well, I'm sticking to my original thought...Driver issue

Thanks m8...I'll check it out :)
