After the Soviet Union broke up, so did the KGB. Some joined the FSB, some went into politics, and some went into business. If you take a look at Forbes Magazine of the worlds billionaires. Quite a few are Russians. There’s a lot of money to be made in Russia today, it’s just a matter of who’s going to grab the most of it.

It’s just internal Russian power play to me. Battle between Ex KGB factions as to who is going to control the most power and wealth at the end of the day.

A380 Airbus Crosswind Landing Flighttest

You guys have probably seen this already. But for the ones whom have not.

It’s controlled, so the pilot knew it was coming. But to make a perfectly angled landing like that is amazing. The wings & powerplant on the A380 are frightening. I don’t know how many of those test it can take before something disasterous happens.

Love It. Especial the part where he is at the rodeo filled with flag waving nut-jobs. “May George Bush Drink the Blood of Every Man, Woman, and Child of Iraq!” I almost died laughing when some of the people in the rodeo started clapping.

But then that’s indirect speculation that Steve was messing with it, the pure facts are not out yet so let’s not speculate aye? all we have heard is that he was swimming above it at the time and it became spooked because the cameraman was close by as well, also this time of year the stingrays are on the lookout for tiger sharks so are extra alert.

While any death is tragic. Irwin was always a camera hog. Some call his act enthusiasm, I just saw it as egotism. A lot of time the animals he wanted to film would be just sleeping, and he would go and pick it up, forcing it to lash out at him. But hey, it made for great TV. Oh well, The Crocodile Hunter was a Hollywood character, and he died like a Hollywood character.

Just let this be a lesson to people. Wild animals like people just want to be left alone.

…as long as Israelians (and US citizens in this case) feels safe… ;)´

…I can drop a handkerchief from my Ivory tower so that you can whipe the blood on your hands :dev2:

Have you ever heard of the term, “Don’t Start What You Can’t Finish?”. Hizbullah wanted to draw Isreal’s attention away from their brothers and sisters in Palistine. They got what they wanted. So why get on TV and whine and complain about it?

I’m not going to be one of these Ivory Tower leftist passing judgement on something I’ve never felt. Thank God I don’t know what war is like, so I’m not going to be one of those people telling someone how they should feel.

All I know is that if Mexico or Canada were to shoot rockets into civilian areas. It doesn’t matter what crimes my government was responsible for. I would want the government to protect those civilians no matter the cost. So I am definately on Isreal side on this issue. However, because Isreal has the money, it should help rebuild Lebanon. The long term goal is Isreal’s survival. The only solution for that is winning the Arab streets.

BTW, I don’t know if this will get censored by the Mod here. But I don’t buy that all those Lebanese civilians were all that innocent. Hizbullah strength comes from its citizen militia. To be quite honest, a lot of those weeping Lebanese looked like some bad B-Movie extras.

“What Does The UK Get From It?”

How about a free dental plan? No, no, that’s way too much money. How about a free dental consultation?
