  1. On a lighter and weirder not, there is actually a push right now for the U.S. Navy to name a ship after Robert Heinlein.

    For those of you who don't know American warships are traditionally named as follows.

    Battleships: None in service anymore but states.
    Aircraft carriers: Usually important figures, or previous aircraft carriers (Enterprise). In WW2 they were often named after battles.
    Subs: Depends on type and class. Usually fish, states, citys, or figures.
    Cruisers: In the past, citys and figures. The current Aegis cruisers are named after battles.
    Destroyers/Frigates: Figures. usually some type of hero or leader. For instance, the U.S.S. Michael Murphy which is under construction right now is named for a Navy SEAL who died trying to save his teammates during the disasturous Operation Red Wings.
    Amphibious ships: Depends on class and type. Military facilities, WW2 battles, and famous ships have all been honored with ships of these types being named after them.
    Supply ships: Citys.
  3. Who's Sergei?

    Well, I think it's damn stupid to believe it.

    I don't consider the U.S. the bad guys, even if I don't always agree with you, I sure consider the U.S. a great country.

    Not positive but about 70% sure it is Like A Songs real name. Since we don't get along most the time, I've never cared what his real name is or how to spell it.

    Sergio. Sergei is a slavic name. I don't think he believes the conspiracy theory.


  6. Weird that I put Sergei, as I did remember that he is from Spain.
  7. I'm thinking of starting a petition to have the Navy start a new investigation into the loss of the U.S.S. Scorpion.

    I don't support Iran. But I don't think Iran should be bombed. I'd support more assistance for Syria from the West, but that's because the people actually want change there. That's not the case with most of the people in Iran. An invasion of Iran would result in a catastrophe.


    What do you mean by 'I don't support Iran'? I mean...they're functioning like they always were, but when it comes to possible conflict between USA + Israel and Iran, I'm definitely on side of the Iran, just because there's not one reasonable argument why they should be attacked.

    And yeah, invasion of Iran would be huge catastrophe, possibly even WWIII.

    Probably not against America. But never say never, it sure would increase the possibility of another 9/11.

    But yeah, your country's own little puppy, always in your lap, Israel. Even though it sometimes feels like it's the other way around.

    Damn I don't like Israel.


    Erm, why would attack on Iran increase the possibility of another 9/11?! Iran is peaceful country that doesn't invade countries all over the world. We all do know who does that.

    Yeah, I don't like Israel either. They shout that Iran could be having nuke in a few years while in the same time they already have between 400 and 500 nukes.





  9. You're right only on one thing: I don't care about you.

    But you're as wrong on spelling my name, as you are on your judgement about my opinion on the 11th of September attacks. It kinda reminds me of an Arctic Monkeys' lyric... So, what do you know? Oh, you know nothing...
  10. Iran has dictatorship and censorship. They pretty much lose after those two facts.

    It would increase the possibility since it would piss some extreme islamists off. You see, Iran is one of the countries with the most of that in the world. And if you don't know... extreme islamists were behind 9/11.

    Damn, you beat me to announcing that you don't believe the conspiracy theories.

    And western countries don't have any censorship? Gimme a break. : ))))))))) The main problem is that most people in democracies think that democracy is the best shit ever and that anything that's different sucks.

    Did you know that Ahmadinejad will have to go to court in the next 30 days?

    RT.com:
    Iran’s parliament summons Ahmadinejad over accusations

    Iran’s parliament has summoned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over a list of accusations. They include allegations that he mismanaged the nation’s economy, AP reports. Earlier, a parliamentary committee issued a petition for summoning the president – the first such case since 1979. Ahmadinejad will be asked about foreign and domestic policy decisions and allegedly bypassing a special budget for the Tehran subway and public transportation. After the summons is sent to the president, he should attend a parliament meeting within a month.

    You think that something like that could happen even in Russia, which is democracy? Putin could sit in car and kill 50 people driving over them and he wouldn't face a trial.
