Cyber
America is still the most powerful nation on earth with,one presumes excellent cyber experts which raises the question how was Russia able back into government computers?Is it a fact that it is impossible to stop it,if so the US should be able to back back?perhaps they do. Still,I soppose a cyber war is better than one chucking nukes about.

Trump wants to build a wall... :)
Sounds mad I know but the Israelis built a wall and it cut terrorism to a trickle.
I was on holiday in San Diago and at the crossing I saw desperate Mexicans trying to cross the border and there did not seem much to stop them'

Political corectness

I hear about those things you mention each and every day, even though I don't want to.

Here on the Hog there are any number of r****t rants evey day, all the time, seemingly forever.

"Thousands of Romanians are now my country." Am I to assume you mean gypsies? I haven't heard people attack gypsies for decades and decades. Are you serious?

Perhaps you denigrate these people as a race, which is r****m, instead of denigrating the individuals and the bad deeds they preform.

There are many crazy, dishonest, thieving, lying and violent and corrupt white people, you must admit. Are you OK with lumping these people together as 'white people' and including you in the group, too?

So "black men" includes good men as well as bad. Why not refer to criminals, or drug dealers or violent men, which includes black, white and so forth, and more accurately denotes what you are protesting?

Deep down, you might just possibly be guilty of the r****m you deny.

I can only assume you have not read my post correctly.There is no r****m only to point out the problem with political correctness.Re read but do not bother to apologise.

Well I flew Lancasters in the war but then became a commercial pilot and amongst many others flew a Viscount when it was the first turbo prop.

Between Dirtpusher and a handful of other people, I wonder why people post things like this. I come here for photography items, photos, news, etc. Not this type of tripe. Instead of griping about things like this, realize that we all know stuff like this goes on. There are ALWAYS the 10% of any people that screw things up for the rest of us. Go out and make a difference and do something good for others. Just my 2 cents worth. Cheers.

This is non photographic site.perhaps you should check the rules.

I am fed up with the political correctness that has crept into my country and probably yours.
It is a fact that black men form gangs,deal drugs and carry firearms
But we must not say it.
It is a fact that Muslims do not integrate and want sharia law but we must keep quiet about it.
This is not a r****ts rant.For every black gang member there hundreds of thousands decent,law abiding black men and hundreds of thousands decent Muslims working in society. Indeed,our health service would not survive without them.
But why must we not mention the others for fear of offending them?
Thousands of Romanians are now my country.some are pick
pockets and thieves most just want a job and a better life but we must not mention the former even though they are in a minority.
I see the point in not wanting to offend the good guys but they must realise these things go on.

Cheese Factory
There is the old one of a German priest who stopped a man and said,"Do you love Jesua?"
"Ya," :said the man ."Big fat round Dutch cheeses."

Friends of President Obama
In the last few weeks of his tenure President Obama has shown his true colours and condemned his only true ally in the Middle East,Israel. Not a word about China which annexed Tibet; not a word about Russia which seized kUkraine;not a word about Iran which is causing mischief everwhere; not a word about Saudi Arabia which is indiscriminately bombing Yemen.Just a true friend of the USA. Let us hope that President Trump knows who his friends are.
Before someone tells me it is nothing to do with a Britain I will point out that what happens in America affects everyone.

Real trouble
I believe once President Assad reclaims lost Syrian terrority from the rebels the real trouble will begin. He will want to regain the Golan Heights occupied by Israel. On his own that would not be posiblw but he is backed. by Rusia out to ferment as much trouble as posible. Israel is a formidable fighting force and will react fiercely to any attack.Pre Trump they would be backed by the USA but Trump seems to be pro -Russian so may not intervene.
Iran,of course will support Assad as will Gaza. I think Israel is strong enough to win the battle but should tbe odds against them become too great the consequences do not bear thinking about.

Question for English People
yes they are poppies made by disabled folk for the armed servicesu. The organisation for veterans is the British Legion and they look after the service veterans in many ways. Eavh November the poppies are sold and worn by mkst people and bring in millions for the Legion. I believe the poppies represent the poppy fields of tbe battlegrounds of Flanders.I am a proud member.
