Yeah, sorry to spam the board again but I finally had my operation last Friday (postponed from Tuesday after a leak in the operating theatre, believe it or not!).

It went well, but I feel a little bit different now. I tried to get some thoughts down as soon as possible afterwards while it was all still fresh in my mind. I've got a long and uncertain wait until switch on now.

Anyway, just thought I'd share with you. xxx

This is a normal post It's clear enough to me,
the two gentlemen (lets call them "hat" and "hair") are in a long term relationship that has lost some of it's sparkle, but not their undying love for each other. Hair yearns for the sexual passion they once shared, but Hat just wants to sit in front of the tv and have a cuddle.
So, being brave, Hair has looked elsewhere and found another sexual suitor. This video is the culmination of events, where Hair confesses his needs to his love, through teary eyes.
Hat, well, he loves Hair so much, he's giving him his blessing.

It's a beautiful thing. No wonder all their friends are there for support.

FFS it's not a religious symbol (not that they should be treated special anyway), if he bought it he's entitled to do what he wants with it. Posting a picture of it on fire means nothing, it is no different to posting a picture of a paper cup alight unless it came posted with threats of violence to a remembrance parade or similar. They are either arresting someone based on another person's interpretation of an image (which basically puts every work of art at risk of criminal prosecution) or arresting him based on his own dimwitted view of remembrance day (which means certain days now carry an enforceable level of serious opinion that we must all hold).

This is a normal post so he gets the shits thrown at him for burning a poppy?
what about all the ones thrown away ?
all the poppys dumped in to land fill?
if i post pics of these is that any worse? because we choose to deliberatly throw awaw or destroy a poppy doesnt make us bad it is what millions of people do at this time of year.
he is dick for posting it online but apart from that he is no differant to many many others
true the story is lacking in detail and more may/will emerge on this but at the moment he is just a dick

This is a normal post It's the former.
The rise of social networks means people are now far more exposed to images and words outside their comfort zone, and some (wankers) deal with it by calling the police, who are duty-bound to investigate.

The law needs to be modernised.

Every time they do, it gives idiots the belief that is how they should handle offence.

I really do think it would be quite an interesting experiment to start a campaign to get, say, Richard Littlejohn arrested based on the fact our law works by precedent. He is a bigger troll than many who have been charged.

That context.

"7th November: a strike at night in a village 40km from Sana’a. Alleged al Qaeda leader Adnam al Qathi and his bodyguards Rablee Lahib and Radwan al Hashidi were killed. A child and two others are also reported injured. Drones had been seen over the area for three days."

does it really matter if its a drone, a cruise missile, or a bomb/missile launched from a fighter jet?

whichever it is, someone, somewhere, presses a button and something, somewhere, goes boom.

Making it all about a specific weapon delivery system pretty much clouds the issue.

if you killed some over there and sdaid i suspect they are one of the above you would be sent to some shit hole prison for a long time but put a uniform on and do the same thing and its ok because you are defending your goverments right to exploit oil from other countrys and manipulte the media and people how you see fit.

This is a normal post Drones get all the bad press
for several reasons, but to my mind it's primarily due to their extended loitering over a target area before they strike. They can circle around a target area for many, many hours before finally releasing their weapons. Now imagine you're in Pakistan or wherever and you see/hear a drone in the area. Imagine the sheer terror of knowing that that flying robotic death machine may choose to kill you at any point and there's nothing you can do to fight back.

Secondly, a drone is vastly inferior to a human-piloted aircraft in terms of target validation. It is restricted to seeing what its cameras and other sensors are pointed at at the time, and can only see at the resolution of its cameras. As a result is unable to effectively evaluate a target in terms of collateral damage. There is absolutely no substitute for having a human eyeball assessing the target prior to weapon firing.

Thirdly the drones relatively low-value aircraft in comparison to a fighter jet, they fire low-cost munitions and they are controlled from many thousands of miles away. There's comparitively little financial cost in their use, and there's no risk to the operator. It's war for the Playstation generation: You get shot down, no problem, just reload.*

Due to the range from which they're launched and the speed they approach, there's little to no warning of a cruise missile strike so the terror factor doesn't really count. They're (mostly) precision weapons, but they cost several million a shot. As a result they're too expensive to use except in the initial days of a war to destroy the air defences of a country, or for other high-value targets.


* As an aside, several years ago at work I once overheard a uniformed officer and a sales manager at a coffee machine, discussing the problems that the USAF were having with B2 pilots flying round-trip bombing missions over Afghanistan out of Maryland. They were having trouble connecting the fact they were fighting a war and killing people, then going home to their families at the end of the mission. It was all I cound do to avoid shouting "GOOD!" at them. War *should* have a cost, be it physical, financial or psychological. When it exacts no toll on us, then there is no reason not to fight.

You are saying a pilot of a plane flying at high altitude can see better than a drone at a much lower altitude?

Pretty sure that a pilot can't see as well as a drone controller

I was referring to the difference in situational awareness.

It's the difference between driving a car and playing a driving game. Playing the game, you can only see what the screen shows. Even if you can steer the camera, you'll never get the full field-of-view that an eyeball gives you.
