I had a fridge magnet of a SAR Seaking I picked up while on holiday in Weymouth.
The missus was making pastry one morning. Slammed the fridge door causing the Helo to fall
onto the work surface. Straight into some flour and straight into a whiteout condition.
Fortunately the magnet survived the ordeal.

Just goes to show what a single laser guided bomb could have achieved where all those other bombs failed to.
That building is still relatively intact.

As a devout Atheist I have one problem with religion.
I still think we should have religion in a modern society.
Why?
Would you deny the right of a dying person, a Soldier on the battlefield. Child in hospital. Relative. The right to look for comfort in religion when they face death?
I don’t care what your belief death is quite a strong motivator.

The reason I believe we do not have the right to kill someone is because it is inhumane.
While their actions may be inhumane I do not see why killing the perpetrator makes the sentence just and not just revenge.
I also don’t understand why the family of the victim would want the perpetrator killed for any other reason than revenge.
How can it be just to kill those that have killed?

I’ll throw the question back at you. Why do you think the death penalty is anything other than revenge?

No. We do not have the right to take someones life regardless of what they have done (with the possible exception of mass genocide but that’s a different court).
The death penalty sounds to me like revenge rather than punishment.
I would like to see more realistic sentences. 300 years without parole.

As to 37’000 to house an inmate. That sounds like typical bureaucratic waste.

It is possible for the pilot to fire the seat accidentally. It happened to a Harrier Display Pilot in the 80’s. Seat was fired on the ground and pilot unfortunately killed.
Was the Hawk seat meant to deploy a chute, was it a Zero Zero ejection seat?

Was that the wooden hanger/shed with the RE8 inside with tools, lights, etc.
Very good it was.
We all loved it.

Funny but I thought I was the only one who liked that display.
Very atmospheric. What was the record playing?. `Midnight in Piccardy` or something like that.

I’m not disputing that the earth is old, but find it amusing when scientists predict with certainty that something is millions or billions of years old. Both scientists and creationists are off their chumps to some degree. My monies still on the scientists.
