Voyager becomes first probe to leave our solor system

not close enough…

30 years from now we will dig this thread up a laugh hysterically.

Well, then we would have to come up with something bigger to “acquire” then the PS3… :wink:

BTW, console wise, I think nothing touches the PS3…

GG

@El:

You’d almost think Jennifer was a conservative! :-D

Almost.  :)

I view myself as a patriot.  I love my country, I was willing to give my life for my country, TWICE, I lost 80% of the use of my left leg in defense  of this country, I destroyed 3 vertebrea in support of this country, and I’ll vote for any ignoramous I think will slash government spending.

Think that might make me libertarian….

I think its not. That thing you quoted is an US law proposal, and the only difference from the situation today is that a UN controlled lightly armed force would subsitute the US controlled heavily armed forces…. maybe that difference between “N” and “S” is the thing you dislike that much.

@BigBlocky:

I have no idea but I’m guessing Germany. I’m Canadian, why should I know? :-)

:)
Well, i was not asking for the country (i would have guessed that Boeeing sits in the US) but for the state :). Anyway, there are more important things to know.

@cystic:

thanks man.
although i have few plans to make it to that end of Europe for a few years yet. Unless they breed well in POrtugal (i don’t remember seeing a single cow . . . horses and donkeys i saw, but no cows).

Well somewhere there must be cows… how could they make yummy Bifanas if they had no cows :)…
When will you go to Portugal?

I agree. For logistic reasons it is far easier for Japan to defend itself than it is for the US to attack it. Japan should be able to destroy most of the USs initial navy in round 1 while retaining most of its own fleet. There is no reason for Japan to build a navy to confront the USs navy if the US goes after Japan. Japan should be building a force of tanks to go after Russia and if the US wants to go after Japan that force can easily be turned on the US if Japan has to defend NE Asia. Japan should retain several fighters that are great for defense as well and one round of buying infantry can go a long way towards providing a defense against the US if they are foolish enough to go after Japan. Remember, it only costs Japan 3 ipcs for a unit of infantry in Asia and 5 for an armor plus a one shot 15 or so for an IC or two. It costs the US 7 for a unit of infantry ((3+3+8)/2) that only attack at a 1, and 13 for a tank (5+8).

Germany would love to have to contend with two countries rather than three. US goes after Japan is a very bad move IMO.
