While it’s true guns are forbidden to be on board while flying on certain flags, (my friends company had that problem, when some jackass watch dog confused his international business with his small security operation based in Seattle) It is very troublesome. In addition many of the boats workers (especially)…

"Lousy excuse for condoning piracy. Do the pirates distribute their newly acquired wealth to those affected by the alleged 'stealing of fish and dumping nuclear waste"? Pirates = Somali nation? Give me a break. These are thugs of the high seas."

While I don't condone it, I can understand it.…

I used to be a helicopter mechanic when I was in the army, and my father has worked for Boeing as an engineer for the past 30 years, so I have a bit of authority on this subject. 737's have been flying safely in the skies for well over 15…

"So, why does Japan need to kill so many, or kill any at all, to do these sort of "scientific studies"? I thought its so-called scientific research unavoidably required killing and dissecting these mammals, but none of these goals require such acts - certainly not 1000 every year. Come on,…

What needs to be remembered is Georgas very strategic position. It is literally the lifeline to former Soviet Union states, and, I might add, a lifeline to Afghanistan. In addition might I point out whose side Russia is on in the Iranian issue? Who shipped nuclear materials to Iran? Didn’t…
