RedLeg: do ISIS really have T55s and T62s and Artillery?

Yes, they have heavy weapons.

wich scale? 1:35?

Only in Tamiya or Dragon brands. If you want anything else it has to be in 1/72nd…

Yeah, look at that Jesus fellow: He had a beard and was a layabout, beatnik and rabble-rouser.  They had to execute him to keep the peace.

Beards were banned in Albania altogether under Communism.

In 15th century England facial hair was considered effeminate; it was only introduced by Henry VIII who copied the beard worn by the King of France. His courtiers all copied the fashion, and he then promptly introduced a Beard Tax on anything over 2 days growth.

Another type of beard coming back into fashion:

Reeeeaaaaallllllyyyyyy?

I had to go with the Kaiser.  I agree Imperial Germany had almost won that war several times.

Your profs taught Keynes and Hayek?

I don’t get the pay per views but I do find myself watching the fights if I’m not watching a movie or doing something on the computer.

so anyone have any favorites?  fighters they hate on there?    what styles do you think are the best?  like the militich fighting system, or kickboxing, judo, jujitsu, brazilian jujitsu, striking……?

No real favorites. I usually get a bit bored with the posturing and talk. I want to hate Tito Ortiz for being a punk with Shamrock but I can’t seem to bring myself to because Ortiz backed up what came out of his mouth.

I don’t think any style has an edge except for hitting hard and being fast and maybe it is just TV but these guys don’t look that fast to me. They are way faster than I am as I’m way out of shape and never was in much to be sure but it just seems to me that they should be faster. I suppose it is just relative–both guys are pretty fast distorting it to someone who isn’t.

I hate the Raiders, and I thought Collins looked his typical scattered self but lord did you see how often Moss got TRIPLE teams? Quick math - there are 11 people on each side of the line…

1 QB
2 RB
5 O-Linemen
3 WR’s

to the Defense’s

4 D Linemen
3 LB’s
2 CB’s
2 Safety’s

Now if 3 of the 4 people in your secondary are covering one person, that leaves 2 WR’s completely open to do as they please…I think no matter how bad their QB sucks with their already great WR’s Curry and Porter the addition of Moss will force subpar teams with no pass rush to play alot of nickle packages against da Raiders - which only opens up the field for play action draws to Jordan. Still…the Chiefs should prevail in both meetings this year :D

5.56 weighs 12g and 7.62x51 weighs 24. The person with the 5.56 fires with 3 round burst, the person with the 7.62 fires semi-auto. 3 shots=1 kill or 1 shot = 1 kill? Which is better? 36g or 24g? A 30 round 5.56 will get you ten pulls of the trigger if set on 3 round burst (the 3 round burst compensates for the smallness of the round. A 20 round 7.62 will give you 20 pulls.
