Nationalism

All,

It is inevitable that all (well at least most!) of us will have a degree of national pride. Can I however suggest that form now on when debating the relative merits of different equipment or national forces we do not resort to slagging each other off but act in a polite manner.

If you agree with this please post a response!

Regards

Gentlemen.

If you wish to see this thread remain open then I strongly recommend that you all remind yourselves of the content of the Code of Conduct, particularly Item 5.

If you really cannot get through the day without making petty personal digs at one another then I respectfully suggest that you should do so by PM or, better yet, do so somewhere else completely.

Thanks

GA

WRT food and nationalism, IMO NASA should contract-out their space food to the manufacturers of the space food consumed in the Shen Zhou V and VI capsules. 8D

The text on the T-shirt is probably Photoshopped by Japanese graphickers unhappy with the recent batch of accidents, crimes, and noise pollution caused by US armed forces in Japan. 8)

Nationalism makes what Oracle’s forum what it is. You want intelligent discussion try **** (or so I ve been told…never been allowed to set foot in it, which I guess is a good thing).

So its Nationalism that forms the core of all discussion and drives the debate and discussions. Russians think they have really good mousetraps that are overshadowed by american spin doctoring, Chinese buy these mousetraps coz they gots tons of money and then attempt to make their own klones, Indian have a colonial chip on their shoulder so they buy from the Russians and anyone else who wants to sell and then tinker with it (and discuss the tinkering to death on BRF) and claim to make a better mousetrap thereby pissing off the Chinese who know they have already made a million copies of the better mousetrap already. And all this while the Packees think that american mousetraps are good but they only get Chinese mousetraps which are 10x better than Indian mousetraps, but there are no mice to catch since they are being trained for a jihad…so they spend their time on PDF commissioning Chinese to photochop pics where folks on BR split hair about building the better Indian mousetrap.

Then you have those token players: swedes, french, italians etc…they will sell you the best mousetrap….but you cant use it to catch mouse coz the mouse are oppressed. And other candle kisser who wonder what all this ballyhoo is about. Its better spent going off to Russian and other places taking pics of various angles of mousetraps.

Finally there is the Oracle…well we all know the Oracle. So all you kids who have just found AFM, dont worry…have some curry and in due course of time your will be adequately brain damaged by the Oracle to care about such things.

Well, of course. Having an attachment to ones own country is normal & acceptable, slagging off others is bad form, old bean.
