    No, but seriously. I heard your Eurofighter is a really good airplane. From what I hear, it can hold its own against American F-15's. Nevermind the fact that the F-15 is over 30 years old...

    You should see the Starfighter it was one of the best European planes ever. I just wish that all of them woudln't have crashed at their maiden flight :sigh: :laugh: Well america has better airplanes I think, but we still have the best - em - I don't know what, but I'm sure we have ;) Uh. Perhaps tanks? Or not? I don't know. :-D

    I remember reading a news story out of Britain about 2 years ago. Europe was very proud because a Eurofighter and an F-15 flying over Britain spotted eachother and decided to have some fun with a mock dogfight. Both pilots were impressed and said that the Eurofighter was slightly better than the F-15...But the F-15 is over 30 years old! It's currently being replaced by the F-22[^] which is just supposed to be amazing (an F-15 doesn't stand a chance).

      That's simply not possible. They'd have to cross an ocean, and to do that they would first have to conquer "boat technology". Since we're about 500 years more advanced than them technology-wise, by the time they master the boat, we'll probably be watching TV comfortably on Mars.

      I remember in school we learned something about some very advanced nations that couldn't be conquered and, uh, wait they were all conquered? I hope that Europe and America won't be conquered, but I don't think when the whole world is muslimic that America will stand against eternally... Regards, Ingo

      As long as we possess the will, we cannot be conquered because, unlike previous advanced nations, we have enough nukes to destroy any enemy that is about to overtake us, and we're not afraid to use 'em.

            This is a real concern; especially in light of the fact that all these Islamic nations really have it all put together. I've never seen such cooperation on a grand scale! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

              To be honest, I really don't think it is a concern either now or in the future... Islam has a multitude of internal problems - not the least of which are the divisions of the different sects. As a culture, they need to grow immensely before they will have any capability of gaining control of other parts of the world.

                      I think you are right. But European politicians are to friendly with islamic fundamentalists. Many years they looked away because of "freedom of religion". Seems to get a little better know, even if we got some "I-will-never-learn-unimportant-what-will-happen"-politicians here. :^)

Surely not your tanks, planes, EW equipment, submarines, carriers ( do you even have any real carriers ), satellites. But hey - those EU troops can march real good. Shirly - you jest.

                                    There are those who are gullable enough to believe the excrement that eminates from that foul mouth. Time for Pakistan to forcefully and permanently close (and prosecute) those madrasas that teach extremist fundamentalist ideologies. Then the world might become a little safer from such extremists.

                                        Just puling your leg. Of course US stuff is good. Thats why when Israel hits a UN post smack on you know its on purpose.

                                        Of course it is on purpose. hezbolla is using UN positions as cover and the UN is doing nothing about it. "Retired Canadian Major General Lewis Mackenzie was interviewed on CBC radio, and had some very interesting news about the UN observer post hit by Israeli shells; the Canadian peacekeeper killed there had previously emailed Mackenzie telling him that Hizballah was using their post as cover." http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/why_the_un_post_was_bombed/

                                        My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                                          I don't much about tanks, but the opinion of that author is correct and based on my loose interpretation of something on Wikipedia, the United States has about 4 times as many M1's than Europe has Leopards. All that is irrlevant, though, since all the leopards would first be bombed from above.
