  1. Judging by the results of our interventions in the middle east over the past 25 years I am not surprised that many people take the above with a pinch of salt, if that. Let alone solving the problem I fear that the actions will simply make things worse down the line. Oh well - I don't believe that we have muppets in-charge - on the contrary they are super smart and have ulterior motives - like I have mentioned already.
  2. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153081615937581 Look at these cartoons - should be a special place for dealing with them. These are the people that give everyone a bad name. They are the enemy within and it's very sad that our govts keep ignoring the real threat.
  3. Despite how vile trumps comments may be he is entitled to his opinion - perhaps in a way we should allow him In the UK / if not then why don't we deal similarly with all these hate mongers and preachers On another note - why was fury stripped of his IBF title? Surely it can't be related to his bigoted views / it's a boxing title not a personality award?
  4. Let me take a guess at what countries would these be - Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE (??)....
  5. And the business model surfaces https://theintercept.com/2015/12/04/defense-contractors-cite-benefits-of-escalating-conflicts-in-the-middle-east/
  6. Surprise surprise http://edition.cnn.com/2015/12/08/politics/amnesty-international-isis-weapons-u-s-/index.html
  7. Will be hard to disagree with this - military action in Syria = ineffective when the problems are much closer to home. http://www.lbc.co.uk/mp-600-800-uk-jihadis-have-returned-from-syria--121263
  8. bombing syria and killing innocent people there is not the answer when we have nutters within, wonder what the plan is to protect us..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35055104 meanwhile - another European identified http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35048701
  9. Petition against the moron entering the UK Sign here if interested
  10. we just got started - mud slinging already
  11. have ISIS claimed responsibility already? what about this one http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-35027049
  12. Interesting - are they friends or foe?
  13. You're right - doesn't impress me at all and o don't buy it (as in believe any of it)
  14. Shocking development in the US. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35013443 When do we launch air strikes there?
  15. The results of the invasions since 1990 speak for themselves.
  16. Still not sure how that explains Cameron's quote - perhaps you can elaborate cause I am struggling with that response of yours. As for this response - I'm losing track of the various group fighting and why We want Assad out while Russia want to keep him We continue to tool up the rebels and "freedom fighters" (like we did with the taliban in Afghanistan and Al-qaeda in Iraq) as they are against Assad while Russia wants to nullify them? Didn't we tool isis to fight against Assad and now they've branched out into a group with their own "cause" - aren't a lot of Isis from Iraq from saddam Bathiest party that are now fighting across the border? How long before these freedom fighters defect to either Assad or Isis or create a new nutter group? In a way we are also fighting against Russia? I feel sorry for the innocent people that are being caught up in the crossfire and being killed by the bombs. I feel sorry for our UK population that support this bloodshed.

    BMW help req

    Black with Red looks gorgeous. Seems like both have the newer idrive that is HDD based - which is a must - like I mentioned earlier- the older gearstick is better functionally (moving from reverse / park / drive = simple unlike the new one which can be annoying) - the new one looks cooler. Have you tried a Cayman or Boxster instead - ideally a 981 rather than the 987.2

    BMW help req

    I will add that the new i-drive is significantly better than the previous generation. In the pics that you shared I dont see a car with the old i-drive - however something to bear in mind when selecting a car (assuming that i-drive is important to you).

    BMW help req

    the gearknob is one indicator - owned BMWs with both types of gearknobs - aesthetically the new one looks better, functionally the old one is simpler and works better. looks like one is a facelift while the other is not -
  20. so you are suggesting that Russia's bombing campaign will lead to more radicalisation and terrorists while as OURs will not? Can you elaborate?
  21. Further developments regarding the US shooting that took place the day of launching the attacks on Syria - have ISIS claimed responsibility yet? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35002741 Do we consider military action in the US or launch air strikes?
  22. This was an interesting read http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/nicolas-henin-the-man-who-was-held-captive-by-isis-for-10-months-says-how-they-can-be-defeated-a6757336.html
  23. I agree - we aren't the world police - better to refrain from further invasions and focus on protecting our borders and address the enemy within - I've already suggested that on page 7 of this thread many days ago. Israel Saudi Qatar are terrorist nations in the region with all the troubles. We just choose to support them but it doesn't change what they are. Norman Finklestein that I linked to earlier seems very knowledgable on the subject. Worth looking into for those that are interested.
  24. Like Chris Rock said on Big Pharma: ‘No Money in the Cure, the Money’s in the Medicine’ Feed the business model.
