    Grandmaster L40 Church Wizard thus spaketh : You make more money ratlling sabres than you do by actually killing someone.
    Oh indeed.

    The problem being that one time when you rattle the sabre a little too hard, and the person on the other end has a sense of humour failure and decides to stop playing "The Game".

    Then things go all pear-shaped.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      I love the sheer professionalism of the Pakistani forces who retook the base, who "celebrated" by shooting into the air in jubilation.

      It is frightening that this country has nukes.

        How DARE you go against doctrine!!!!

        Everyone knows the biggest problems in the world today are driving a 4x4 without being a farmer, leaving lights on, and cows farting too much. Apology please.
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

          The worst thing that can happen is you will find taliban coding for you. Who knows what they will hide in the code.

            Taliban don't believe in science, maths etc..and neither are they educated in Islam. Taliban coder...he would be a defector I think.
