Title: Quite shocking (if true). On the EP-3E
Post by: Thud on April 12, 2001, 05:26:00 AM
My newspaper reported last monday that the chinese South Chinese Morning Post published an article based on Chinese sources revealing that during the intercept another chinese jet (not one of the F-8's) repeatedly asked authorization to shoot the EP-3 down after the collision. Fortunately the chinese authorities didn't authorize it, but think what if.....
Then it would become a lot more than a diplomatic crisis.

 That is a grammatically correct but pointless sentence.
 There is no need to perform surveillance flights against the countries that have respect for international law.

Hmmm... I've seen pics of Finnish fighters "escorting" NATO's awacs near Finnish borders. Are you saying we are not respecting int.laws ?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Also one SR-71 pilot admitted he's been over Finland sometimes... (Thought reason was that thing needed 500km to make 180 degree turn at full speed...)

 Not true, america keeps a eye on every other nation. As all other nations (providing they have the resources) keep a eye on everyone else.
 Its much like you do with your next door neighbour. You may be friendly but your waiting for his dog to come sh*t in your yard. It is the way of the world & anyone that doesnt understand it is the loser.

 Regardless of what country you live in you reside in a society of laws. You have local law, city law, state law, federal law & international law.
 These laws are recognized by all members of the community. Some members chose not to obey these laws. Locally speaking they are called criminals. Internationaly speaking they are rougue states.
 As we punish criminals we can also punish rouge states. Failure to recognize International law doenst place you above it just as a local thug isnt above local & state law.

 I do not disagree with some of the things you have mentioned. We as anyone would, are acting in our own best interests. We do however try to temper that with fairness.
 When we bombed people we did so with 100% confidence that the people being bombed were either a threat in the past or a immediate threat to the people of the USA.
 Our border incursions are kinda like your neighbours dog running in your yard. Its usally brief & a accident when we do it. We deifinatly do not sh*t in your yard.
 The PC3 incident is a perfect example. We were flying 12 miles out. The recognized international boundry. The chinease claim 20mi so they created this incident.
 I am ass-u-me'ing the supporting international terrism that you are refering to is when we armed the aphigans <sp> during your vietnam there.
 They were a people that was being invaded. They supported democracy & were then by extension our allies.
 It is no differant then 15yrs earlier with the soviets armining the North Koreans & then the chinease.
 To the best of my knowledge the US has never violated a international treaty.

 And as far as punishing the US goes in all honesty I do not think that another country can. The way most countries punsih another country is through a embargo & trade tarrifs. The US is so strong enconomicly & has nearly every other country tied to it financially that should a country choose to place a embargo on the US they would be cutting there own throat....

 The amricans have a saying. Never bite the hand that feeds you.

The Vikings were traders that looted, pillaged, and burned when they got a decent chance. And they dinnae pretend to be anything but badasses. (source: Random fluctuations in space/time)

We even drop bombs on our own people sometimes.  Americans are not gods. We make mistakes just like Russians do. We put our mistakes on the front page.  Still, there are many people trying to get into the USA. It must be a pretty good place if not a worker's paradise.  I like it very much, but I've never been to Russia or to many other places.

Hobodog... It ain't about communism.

It's about your perception of reality and understanding that your reality and my reality may not necessarily be the same thing, nor is any one perception correct. It's not right. It's not wrong. It's perception.

FWIW... I'm not a communist. I am a liberal. and if Wobble is your poster child for normalcy... I'd rather be commy. (no offense Wobble).    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Ya know... I did 10 years in the U.S. Navy. Some would say that I was defending our rights and our freedoms, yours and mine. If I go along with that I statement, I defended your right to be a right wing, bible thumping, narrow minded, paranoid conservative. By all means, go right ahead but do try to keep in mind that America isn't about conforming to the norm. If you want everyone to conform, try one of those nice socialist countries across the water. Pfft.

Hobdog, TheWobble, how can you talk about Communism without having a slightest idea of what it really is? You use this word incorreclty, mix Communism and communists, it's like a dishwasher talking about computers saying that all PC users are hackers.

Unfortunately, very few people here know what was going on in USSR until 1991, and I doubt that anyone at all knows what goes in China now. The only thing I can say is that it's very different from Soviet "developed socialism".

To define my position: I don't support communists, but I do believe that Humanity will finaly come to Communism, not by controlled social "engineering" or "surgery", but as a result of technological progress.

In english slang "turd" is a polite reference to feces (ie excrement, poop, crap, toejam).

If someone from western culture is referring to you as a turd...well....now you know.

Here is a funny one for you from the land of the free  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

There is a railroad here in connecticut, goes from New Haven CT to NYC. Commuter railroad for those who work in the city and live in CT. ( if you ever driven into NYC you'd understand  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )
Railroad was ran so badly by the private management that local government asked the federal governemtn to take it over. They did, runs great, on time and place is pretty clean. Ticket prices went down by the huge margin, even thou they are still quite pricey ( monthy from stamford to nyc - about 30 miles - 250$+ )
Point being, in the heart of the capitalism, the socialism for the rich was created. You see, all those suits on the railroad in the morning are in 30%+ tax bracket. They can afford to pay more  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Or pay for different mode of transportation, so instead of letting market doing its thing and allowing the railroad to die and be bought, we've created socialism for the rich  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Ain't that a squeak ?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) Now the taxes of the poor ride the rich folks tulips to work

Just exactly how much tax do the "poor" pay in the US???  How much do the "rich" pay?  That the "poor" subsidise a commuter train is ludicrous.

BTW, the advancement of technology would make Communism even more obsolete i would think.  Old-fashioned, bankrupt ideas aren't too successful in a hi-tech society.......

Oh my god...

What we had in Russua for 70 years has nothing to do with Communism. It was only a kind of olygarchy exploiting communist ideology as a religious base.

Didn't you read what I wrote? I am against all that "proletarian dictatorship", "social revolution" and other slogans used by criminals to get the power.

If you want to have an idea of Communist society - listen to John Lennon's "Imagine".

I can advise you a few books too (Strugatsky brothers "Midday world" books), but I doubt they were ever translated to English.

I know it's utopia, but it's beautiful. No doubt that sooner or later technological progress, NOT social revolutions and "communists" that enslave their countries will make it true.

Boroda,

I think the main problem with your posts in the past was an incomplete understanding of humor, sarcasm and innuendo usage in english on your part. Using the terms and words to create a humorous effect in what you are writing or to show disdain is very tough for an outsider. The lack of facial expression in written communications really handicaps what you might be saying.

At least that is what I am beginning to think after seeing the last couple of posts you made. Am I correct in the thought that you are really an anti-communist in reality and are using the titles in your sig as a means of making fun of them??? If this is the case I am beginning to think you are trying to emulate another person on the board (Mietla, I believe) who is a former resident of Russia. Please advise if this is correct.

In your terms I can be called "anti-communist". I don't like modern commies, and my family (as many others) was repressed in Soviet times, before the War.

As any young Soviet student (  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)) I know communist ideology and philosophy, and some things are very interesting. For example: I still think that "Dialectical Materialism" is a nice philosophical doctrine, let us call it "creative". But *_DO_* I think that "social revolution" and other ways to "come to Communism" are dangerous nonsence. It's absurd to build up such a repression machine as Soviet State trying to reach "extinction of state".

Edit: Damn, another mistake in previous phrase that made all I wanted to say look absolutely different!!!

Well, it's very hard to explain such things to people who don't know the "sources"   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

As for Communism - it's a distant and almost unreachable society where people don't have to work for living, but express themself in creative activity, evryone lives in peace and does his best for everyone's benefit. I REALLY want to live in Midday World, as it was described in "Midday, XXI century. Coming home". This books makes all this dreams look real...

Another great book that shows another view on communism is Vyacheslav Rybakov's "Gravi-ship 'Tsesarevich'". It describes 1990s in a world where Bolsheviks didn't take power, but turned their ideology into a kind of religion, with it's adherents trying to do their best for the Humanity, and becoming the second main religion in Russian Empire. It's a great book, written in early-90s, I hope it will be translated to English sooner or later. Here is a link for a Russian original:

And here is an Esperanto translation:

Gentlemen, your constant "liberal vs. conservative" debates look quite silly from Russian point of view. Here "conservatives" are lefts, lead by commies and nationalists, while "liberals" are rights, who stand for free enterprising and limitation of state activities. I support liberals.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
