How come people have’nt opened their eyes to notice the man they voted president, has caused more trouble for the U.S than any other presidents.

Hate to disagree with you, but anyone who is over 40 (or knows anything about US history) would have to say good old liberal Democrat Lyndon Johnson…the guy that brought us deep into Vietnam, made much more trouble for the average American. Not only did he get the US into a civil war that got 58,000 Americans killed, but the outcome was the same. To compare Iraq to Vietnam is far from realistic.

Still others would say Woodrow Wilson (another liberal Democrat) getting the US into WWI was equally pointless. But at least the Europeans (okay not the Germans) liked us for it as the US reinforced their armies with enough cannon fodder to help end their stupid, pointless, war.

The other night some political commentators were on TV discussing the election.
One broght up the fact that most of Europe hates Bush and wondered why this didn’t hurt Bush at the polls.
Another gave the correct answer…the average US citizen really doesn’t care what the most Europeans think.

So presumably you would only be swayed by something from a fascist-slanted newspaper/party newsletter?

You completey distort and misquote everything I write, then have the nerve to call me a closet fascist.
****-off!!!

So much for open minds from “liberal” Europe.

It is such blinkered thinking that translates into the caring sharing good old United States that is so highly regarded thoughout the world. Er…

Flood…I’m hardly “blinkered…” 😡
I’m just saying an intelligent person has to judge the source of the material before adoping it as fact. Sure, Pravda gave accurate weather forcasts, but I wouldn’t go to it to get an accurate picture of why the USSR did what it did in eartern Europe.
The article in question was an editorial…not a unbiased news report….like the weather or the fact that a plane crashed. There is a huge difference.
Your thinking reminds me of some Saudi students I knew back in University, they would say all kinds of anti-Israeli statements, and to back up their opinions would offer a blatant anti-semitic magazine. Their attitude was “If it’;s printed, it must be true.”

Yeah, these Yanks and sticking the wrong engine on things… shouldn’t be allowed.

Chipmunks had quite an aerobatics history in the states when equipped with a larger engine. Art Scholl’s “Super Chipmunk” is even in the Smithsonian.

Don’t be such a snob. 😀 Chippies are hardly rare and not particularly historic, so anything that keeps one in the air is okay by me.
This conversion is on par with what has been done to Stearmans in the UK (Utterly Butterly & Crunchie airshow teams), with bigger engines and different paint.
Andfrom an operational standpoint, orignial engines are hardly thick on the ground in the USA.

[QUOTE=flex297]If you consider that the company Diebold, responsible for the whole electronic election system is one of the largest and most loyal donators of the Republican Party and that Walden O’Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. is a pretty common visitor at Bush’s ranch in Crawford, TX, the things start to appear in a new light. I mean, how do you want to keep elections secure in today’s times of people hacking even CIA or Pentagon?

Conspiracy theories are the products of weak minds looking to blame others.
The fact remins Bush won because Kerry didn’t connect with the majority of Americans. And while people may have agreed with him about some parts of his platform, he was seen as a bit too liberal on social issues.

I have been to New York and lot’s of other places besides (NYC, LA, Florida all over, Little Rock Arkansas, Detroit and other parts of Michigan, way up north near Fargo).

Last time I checked, Fargo was in North Dakota.

My guess is the lens above and to the left of the 35mm camera are the video lens.
Given the state of the art of the time, I can’t image a combination cine/video system through one lens. By having the video lens mounted alongside the cine lens, the playback image would be close enough to tell the director (or director of cinematography) if the last shot was what he wanted.

I understand that America chose this president, he won the majority and the electoral college. Both systems work and are fair. I am not really disputing that. I am not blind with hatred of George Bush as a political leader, but he does in my view have fault in key issues for me. It comes down to the american people liking a president who represents them as a people (image wise) and makes them feel safe and happy. I must say the Republican Party does this wonderfully. I think a major factor here is the weakness of the Democratic party, which could have more of a chance of running up to par with the Republicans if they grew their power and had a true strong leader. I do not like personal insults pointed at Bush as a person, but I do not find that voicing a opposing view point in now what is a very divided nation is fair.

Very good assessment.
Now with the elction over we can turn over to more pressing issues.
We can sort out your fondness for Airbus products….:)
