Nothing has changed in American policy in over 50 years, what makes you think it will change in the future? My late grandfather (who served in New Guinea during WWII) could attest to this as he had a saying;

"Never stand in front of a yank with a machine gun..."

I think that sums it up nicely.

You might have to explain that particular in-joke for the benefit of our erstwhile n00bi(l)e ;-)

So are you suggesting that basically democracy is flawed when it comes to important decisions?


Democracy is flawed period.
In counties like the US and UK it's far too easy for people to take advantage of the democratic systems in place.

50 years is a relatively short time in the grand scheme of things. but what i am saying is not a policy change per se though i would like to see that modified or changed completely. what i am referring is tactics and engagement procedures. modifying so this incident won't be repeated this is what i hope will happen. a complete change is too much to hope for at this point.
The only stupid question is a question not asked.

Well you are homogametic and therefore common sense is naturally expressed in your makeup. Unfortunately the world is largely ran by people with a common genetic defect - theyre heterogametic. This typically stunts their level reasoning so that it doesnt develop beyond the schoolyard level

You Ms, owe one Mr X-Ray an apology, two probably, for your blatant hypocrisy when it comes to sexist ¨jokes¨.

You won´t mind this then will you petal?

LONDON (Reuters) Yesterday scientists for Health U.K. suggested that, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoeostrogens) and drinking it makes men turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each within a two-hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men:

1. Gained weight
2. Talked excessively without making sense
3. Became overly emotional
4. Couldn't drive a car
5. Failed to think rationally
6. Argued over nothing
7. Had to sit down while urinating
8. Refused to apologise when obviously wrong
No further testing is considered necessary.
