Nermal I think we might be arguing the same point chap. 🙂

full builded F2 rafale, oooppss, what’s that mean? all rafales ares full builded for F3 standard, they just add systems little by little, without modification of the plane!

Of course they don’t do that with the Typhoon, what you get is what you see. They design it, then they build it, then leave it alone and do nothing with it. The British, the Germans, the Italians and the Spanish are all far too stupid to develop something this complex, they come across a problem and just leave it to fester. They are not workinging on modified EJ2xx engines or solid state radars (that actually work, rather than the unreliable little toy beam shooter Dassault have put in the Rafale hoping that the very idea of an active array will actually sell the bird. It has to work properly first pr!ck) or even an A2G capability. The Spanish are not developing TVC for the engine and the aircraft is far too ‘fat’ to get off the ground.

I have to ask myself sometimes why I or anybody else bothers with you GHT. You are obviously an immature fractious little puke with a Napolean complex. You lied about your ‘7 year old son’ because you talk like a delinquent teenager and if you really do have kids then I doubt very much they look up to you as a father figure. More likely they view you as an object of ridicule and embarracement (scuse spelling) and only let you out at night.

Go back to your hole and stop wasting the time of people who actually take their interest in military aviation seriously. We don’t make up stories we in general read and attempt to discuss the truth. We don’t look at the work of a test establishment and pass their work off as ‘operational’ kit. You are screwed up in the head and you have precisely ‘zero’ knowledge of your ‘chosen’ subject.

:rolleyes: 😮

Well, after some hick wanted to ban forest fires (and that is what he said – not ban fires in forests, or people starting fires, but ban the actual fire mass!) after his house burnt down in one recently I begin to wonder. That was my point – it happens in America and they want a law passed. In the culture of the ‘Sue’ anything and everything is possible – apparently.

Fair enough but don’t you think that questions will be asked in the Iranian parliament as well? Also, who said the Iranian quake wasn’t all over the worlds media:

These are just from Britain, Australia and the USA. They are not the only ones reporting this either. People do care and they are horrified but you tell me; what can I do? I mean really what can I do? I’ve got problems of my own, I’d love to go there and help but how much good would I do and in any case my wife is about to give birth so I don’t want to be too far away from her. How can you say that nobody really cares? I know thats not what you are saying in the same words but there is an implication of carelessness on the part of the rest of the world and that simply is not the case. The worst feeling you will find is “thank whoever you beleive in that it isn’t me or mine” and in the same situation Iranians would be thinking exactly the same thing.

And they have all but stopped looking for survivors… It is a lot, but when the big one hits California – that is when they will start demanding that the authorities take action against earthquakes. – Nermal

What action can you take against an earth quake? What you gonna do put a restraining order on it? 😡 How can you assume that if the earthquake had happened in California, people in Iran would not react exactly the same way is if it was the other way around?

They would probably be thinking “thank God/gods or allah (depending on denomination) that it wasn’t them”.

😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

Speechless. How do you express your feelings about the deaths of 20,000 people? 🙁

TO the contrary, this thread has quite a number of unnecessary and immature comments all from non – US members. You can all recap them for yoursleves

Here is another one Sauron. Not all Canadians think, like you, that Canada should become a part of the United States. You might raise the Stars and bars in your back yard, your heart and in all of your posts but you might be in a minority in Canada in your beleif that the USA can do no wrong. That only non US citizens are capable of rediculous and churlish statements; are we to assume that the idea of ‘non US citizen’ does not mean ‘Canadian citizen’? Or does it only relate to Canadian citizens who do not think the way you do?

I don’t know who’s side you are on Sauron I know its not mine so what makes you think I, or anybody else, ought to be on yours? And before you go accusing others of ignorance and imaturity, perhaps you should read carefully some of your own posts. 😡

Christ Steve you do know how to dig somebody out of a hole 😉 .

I’m afraid I let most of the helio stuff slip by me, I don’t know why its not like I’m not interested.

The US is always telling us it is the greatest. We are just mentioning the snot.

Sorry I just laughed at this. Very true but it was so damned funny.:D

Also you try and take just a little too much credit for ww2, according to saving privat ryan, there weren’t any Brits in Omaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry mate but there wern’t any Brits on Omaha beach. There were however Brits and Canadians (mostly) on Gold, Juno and Sword beaches. According to Saving Private Ryan, the Brits were there on or at least close to D-Day, apparently though, according to Ted Danson, they were’nt a very imoprtant part of the whole operation and were largley ineffectual. But I know what you mean.
