Chuck, you need to cut the "F-bombs," the forum rules are very specific about that.
In addition, this is one of the premier threads on SD, and has been for years.
We don't need to get into heated, emotional, nationalistic discussions that are based on purely subjective opinions about how bad/corrupt/"imperalistic"/dominating/etc. America is, or any other nation for that matter. Those discussions should be ignored and/or reported because they too, are specifically addressed in the fourm rules.
It's how we keep this place as professional and as good a source as it has been over they years without descending into nationalistic, heated arguements that destroy our professionalism and credibility.
Anyhow, that would be my advise...otherwise you can bet Popyeye, Tphuang, TUP, or any other moderator will come along and make what should be a voluntary policing according to the rules of our dialog, somewhat more compelling.
The thread is about the PLAN Carrier program.
