    Yep. . . There's f*ck all on the Rockall. :rolleyes:

    Anyone who cares to spend time on that desolate stone in the middle of the Atlantic would not only be full of sh*t, they would also be all wet and very much out in the cold.

    I have personally seen Rockall from both the air and sea. No place I would ever care to stay more than a minute or two.

    [Both are analogically correct statements]

    Edit:

    Now THIS is funny. :lol:

    We hope he's be right....This is one war we need to win more than any others. If we lose our country is doomed and so are we.

    Terror is not a thing or a person or a country that you can win a war against. Terror is a tactic, like carpet-bombing or arial defoliation. All war is terrorism, of course. But what our leaders are calling terrorism is the war tactic used by people who cannot afford airplanes. "They" carry their bombs by hand. "We" drop our bombs from airplanes. Morally, there's no difference.

    But even using the common definition, you cannot "win" a war against "terrorism" because "terrorism" will forever be the tactic used by people who want to have a war but can't afford the airplanes. We may eventually wipe our al Qaeda, but as long as we continue to act as though we think we own the world, and as long as we disregard the legitimate aspirations, and the basic rights of the rest of the world, there will be people who will be angry enough to turn to terrorism to strike out at us.

    Of course, a "war" that can never end is very useful for would-be fascists like Bush, because as long as we are "at war" they can justify the constant assault on our rights and liberties, thereby dismantling freedom in the name of "Freedom."

    Iraq is now just a conflict between Shia and Sunni and I don't think we are helping either. (Which side do you favor?) And they don't think so either. They've just asked us to get out and have polled in the majority that it is just fine to shoot US soldiers.

    I guess they got a democratic voice after all....We won!!!
