Muslims have more right to Australia than convicts...

He is talking bullshit. Its a story called "Flight of the Endeavour" by R.J Pinero. Its one of the short stories in a book by Stephen Coonts as I stated above

Except that according to aunty Beeb:

Missile test

[Sniper]

Yep, read that too

The US has asked China to explain its intentions after Beijing reportedly carried out a weapons test in space last week.

It is thought the Chinese used a ground-based, medium-range ballistic missile to destroy a weather satellite.

Could be anyone, Russia, USA, failing satelite. Its not confirmed as of yet

Well that kind of points towards a basic lack of intelligence, just think how much it would cost to develop and manufacture a plane with the capabilities of the F-18? For how many for your own forces? What kind of international market share are you going to get competing with the Septics?

Nice, easy rhetoric with no basis in logic. What do you call it here? Dog-whistle politics?

You dont have to fully develop it in country, but you do want to at least license the design to build them yourselves from the ground up, rather than buying them from overseas, to ensure your supply chain.

Yeah, but that's like the use of the word "allegedly" when dealing with court cases. We know they did it, we just can't quite prove it.

Hahahaha, reading too many stories in a book compiled by Stephen Coonts called COMBAT

He is talking bullshit. Its a story called "Flight of the Endeavour" by R.J Pinero. Its one of the short stories in a book by Stephen Coonts as I stated above

I shit you not my freind this happened late last week the chinese targeted a satelite of their own that was failing and took it out with an ICBM don't you guys watch the news???
Just flexing their biceps to show the west we are a superpower and don't fuck with us!!
The Yanks are right fucked off because the debri is scattered all over the orbiting paths of other satelites.Bummer!!
Lets hope they hit the satelite that airs all those shite american sitcoms and give us all a break!!

Media is overrated, and I dont think it would be an ICBM, most stated it was a medium range ballistic missile. Not that Im up with large lande based or air based fired rockets, but I doubt t would be a large ICBM type.

Happy to be proven wrong

[Patrick]

Yeah, but that's like the use of the word "allegedly" when dealing with court cases. We know they did it, we just can't quite prove it.

Thats the media "trying" not to convict by media... Shit, that was almost funny...

[Biff]

Media is overrated..

Fairy snuff, but I'd suggest it's fair to say that the Brit and US intelligence agencies (for once) are not making this story up.


As for the xenophobic crap that Lias is spouting about halting immigration - dude, do you realise that NZ ranks as one of the leading countries in the world for the migration of its own people overseas? Do some basic maths and you'll soon realise that if it wasn't for immigrants like me then this country would be a third world state within a decade, primarily due to lack of inward investment. This country already suffers from labour shortages, and now you want to compound that? Is ruining your country’s economy really the foundation for true nationalism? That’s not nationalism, that’s common racism hidden behind a semi-acceptable label.

Check out the immigration website - look at the attrition rate of Kiwis to overseas countries looking to earn more money in the UK or Ozzie, then look at the number of people migrating here. I did last night, it was quite an eye opener actually. Scary even.

Or maybe by immigrants you're referring to those with a suntan?

[xxblackbirdxx]

I wish NZ would adopt this attitude

Good on ya for telling it like it is.
