Thanks for the links, SoulSick & Logical paradox. I had a great laugh!
As I always say, i'm not a politician i'm a businessman ;p
Whatever benefits the cause.
Well yeah Anbuend, I mean.....we're still people regardless, and people can be smart, or stupid.
You ride alone, you ride with Hitler.
Plain propaganda right there...
Well done mate, Another Aspie for the Ian Moore cause ;]
Marvellous, well done
Btw, Australia is due for a Feral election later this year.[/quote]
LOL.
It IS feral - I didn't have a party for my fortieth, so I'm having a big barbecue for my fiftieth and now the d@®˜ government are threatening to spoil it by having the polling on MY BIRTHDAY!!!
GRRRRRRRRRR.........
Ah yes, now I see. Pardon me for being a bit slow here. Elitism is annoying when it is taken too far, whether it is of Aspies or anybody else. Somebody else who will remain nameless here equates personal worth with level of education and "achievement" and I think that got old very quickly too.
Methinks I could start if you're being serious with that comment, Max.
That is..beneficial then.
I was joking with the "she must mean me" comment
Nothing wrong with a healthy interest in the worlds militaries, I share it with him.
Heh, I wouldn't be able to get those channels mate..no digital, and i'm in the UK, no matter.
I do admit i'm more interested in historical military applications/theory rather than the (current) technology of warfare, if you want a Warsaw Pact during the Cold War authority though, well i'm this forums closest thing to it

Ian, do you watch the Military Channel and go behind the lines?
Sometimes they have three station identification shots in a row. Often, two.
Instead of repeating the same words with different scenes of aircraft or tanks or ships, they should say:
You're watching.... the military channel. Go behind the lines.
You're still watching.... the military channel. Have you gone behind the lines yet?
This is the military channel, move it private!
Often, the same technology that can kill can save as well.
Hurricane Katrina redeux:
1. UAV to figure out where the survivors are, their situation.
2. If you refuel all your rescue helos in flight, they can spend more time rescuing people, right?
3. Instead of leaving all the injured and ill on the airport floor, hospital ship, dude
4. We can stockpile weapons and supplies in places like Diego Garcia or Bahrain. Why not stockpile stuff for the next hurricane?
a. food
b. water
c. port a potties
d. alcohol-based hand cleaner
e. diapers
f. infant formula
g. blankets
h. medicines
i. misc
Triage the survivors: those who need dialysis, medicine, insulin, medevac them out, to say, hospital ship.
Old aircraft carrier (or other big ship) can also house survivors and support personal.
It is on digital (enhanced, premium) cable where I am (Comcast), channel 112.
It would also be a really good idea to ensure there is transport to get people out of the place before the hurricane hits. It was an utter disgrace how poor people (mostly black) who didn't have cars were just left behind.
One of the saddest things I read about was this nursing home was found to be full of bodies once the flood waters had receded. Nobody had thought to evacuate the elderly people and they all drowned.
That kind of thing would never have happened in Australia.
