Get back to us when somebody from Argentina accomplishes something besides mass murder, atrocities, and invansions of defenseless islands in the south atlantic.

Just thought i would say that the Russians fired an ICBM from a Nuclear Sub in the Barents Sea this week.Scary or what?

However, we didn't need to beat the Sovjets, which were predominant in conventional forces anyway, but rather stop them from further advance toward the West and this again could have been achieved through nuclear armament. To paraphrase it: with German missiles targeting Moscow the presence of american forces would have been obsolete.

Maybe this a bit off topic but does anyone know of any good recent pictures of ARA General Belgrano. I can't find any.

If English is so easy, why can't anyone tell the difference between lose and loose?  (They're not even pronounced the same!  ...you can lose a game if you have one too many screws loose!)

(sorry, with all the ranting going on in here, thought I'd try one closer to the topic *grin*)

Asa matter forr you? Of course there is a difference; subtle, yes, but a difference. One is pronounced "luze", the other would be "luuuse".

I am here for you Big E.

Now what are the odds of someone from Nevada knowing how to lose correctly? *grin*

The casinos are losing big time in the current climate. I feel sorry for the people who will lose their jobs but not the usually dodgy bastards who run them.

Cheers, Neilster

-just stick to single deck black jack and craps-after you studied the rules. Of course, staying sober helps also. The hotels don't gamble, they are engaged in "gaming"-big difference.

I went to Vegas last year (long after my losing streak in Reno). But that time I came prepared. I devised a System(tm). I took my hotel provided free chip and played one spin of roulette (which even I could understand enough to bet on red) and turned the complimentary no cash value chip into $20.00 US currency. I then pocketed and subsequently used that $20.00 to pay for the taxi to the airport when I left. *grin* (I went again this year, but was too tired/busy to even try out my no-lose system.)

I'm a mathematician who specialises in probability. There is no such thing as a no-lose system. There is stuff you can do if you have an infinite pool to play with. Got one of those?

A nuclear armed Germany would have been all the excuse the Soviets would have needed to roll all the way to the ardennes. And who besides the Anglo Americans would have stopped them? Your pals in France? Their strategy was to nuke the Soviets in Frankfurt. The 300,000 "obsolete" Americans were there to insure the only way a Soviet occupation of West Germany would happen would have been over our dead bodies.

Even the most left leaning politician in the United States would have been unable to argue against an intervention against an invasion of Germany in which 300,000 Americans and their wives and children were on the front lines.

We, and that includes me personally, were there to insure that people like you are able to thumb your nose at the people who selflessly defended your country for more than sixty years against the very same people who raped virtually every female in the eastern sector of Germany after the end of the second world war. As an American soldier traveling through some of towns whose names you see on hypothetical war game scenarios, like Hosenfeld, Huestrue, and Bad Neustadt, I couldn't buy my own beer, thanks to people who had witnessed Soviet generousity first hand.

Those people were born during the war or shortly thereafter, and they knew who their friends were, and more important, who their enemies were. I will always remember the German people who treated me so kindly while I was freezing my ass off on some mountaintop in the Rhoene, or flying through some black valley in the days before night vision goggles. I consider my self fortunate that I left a decade before the Berlin Wall came down, and was not subjected to the contempt of arrogant little Piefkes with no knowledge of their own history and the people who saw to it that they did not have to smuggle turnips out of some collective farms in their pompous, left leaning asses.,

I'm not a mathematician, but I can assure you that if I only play with complimentary chips, I cannot lose any of my own money. That is a no-lose system! Granted, it's not necessarily a winning system either, but I suffer no monetary losses from gambling using it. *grin*
