    Writer Arthur C. Clarke dies at 90

    I read many of his books, he will be missed. May the answers to your questions about the universe now be shown to you. " Doctor"? .. "yes HAL"... "will I dream"?...

    coming out of university and joining enlisting as an NCM?

    The best thing for you to do, would be to speak with a recruiting officer first. They'll be able to point you in the right direction.

    I guess democracy doesn't work...protests on Afghan mission.

    Looks like taliban jack is siding with his buddies again. Sorry jack, majority still rules, your collection of mis-informed niave protesters won't change that. ::)

    Ignorant Civies

    Ignorant civilians don't bother me anymore, once upon a time they used to, but no more. It really doesn't matter how you explain what you do or did in the military, they will never understand unless they've been in the uniform. It's like expalining to a bus driver how to be and astronaut...

    The working wounded

    I agree with that sentiment. I've seen more than a few "wetbacks" that's what we called newly promoted MCpl's who just finished their ISCC or whatever its called now a days JLC courses come back to the battalion and try to show up a few of our senior Cpl's who had been in their particular jobs...

    Solar superweapons of the Third Reich

    Quite right Collin, I watched "Tank overhaul" on the history channel a few months back and they had said just that, they had removed a bearing from and old tiger engine and commented on how well engineered it was, compared to the what the Americans were manufacturing, this is how they got...

    Conrad Black off to visit his Enron buddies at the crow bar hilton.

    I admit the case was very complex and maybe some of the jurors didn't understand some of the context, that's one of the pitfalls of being judged by your peers. But he received a fair trial and he got of lucky, I'm sure the DA's office wouldn't have brought those charges against him if there...

    Conrad Black off to visit his Enron buddies at the crow bar hilton.

    What, you don't think that we low life pheasants can't tell the difference between right and wrong or are you in some way to high and mighty to stoop to our level. Are you related to the Lordship? Must be because you seem to have the same arrogant attitude towards the little guy's, must run in...

    Conrad Black off to visit his Enron buddies at the crow bar hilton.

    No Black isn't Enron in name only, but he was doing the same damn thing Enron exec's were doing, syphoning of funds to support his lavish lifestyle. And no I didn't have stock in his companies, glad i didn't either. My opinion of Black is the same of every other high level exec who steals...

    Solar superweapons of the Third Reich

    Just think if the Nazi's had won the war the first flag and men on the moon would have been a swastika and astronauts in black SS space suits. Very interesting reading, thanks.

    Conrad Black off to visit his Enron buddies at the crow bar hilton.

    Tell that to the folks at Enron who lost there pensions and life savings to greedy white collar criminals, who thought they had gotten away with it. Jokes on them and who's laughing now. He was caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar, but he had money to hire the best defence in the...

    Dozens die in Israel-Gaza clashes

    I don't think that anything is going to stop this, peace talks or what ever. As long as the state of Israel exists the Arabs will try and bring it down. The present Hamas government is a joke, they can't control or don't want to stop their people from attacking Israel. I think stopping short...

    Network of terrorist camps in rural England

    I must agree with Wes. This is getting out of hand and will only get worse, unless something is done now. These people are infiltrating almost every aspect of our lives and doing so unchecked right under our noses and all the while using our own laws against us. Their web is ever growing and...

    When I started at Western university here in London Ontario in 2001 for my computer science degrees after I was released, there were a few students from Iran and Jordan, who were studying the same course. I got to know a few and one in particular from Jordan. He seemed very intelligent. he said...
