In France is it legal to protect possible witness/suspect?

I agree, got a little “out there” in a hurry. But for the time period, just a couple years after Star Trek went off the air, it was so technically superior… And let’s face it, those Eagles were pretty sweet And yes, Maya the “alien waif” was a true hottie   Fine, I’ll date myself

5.56x45mm NATO 7x43mm EM-2 7.6x39mm M43 7.62x51mm NATO bullet weight 4.01 g (62 gr) 9.08 g (140 gr) 7.9 g (122 gr) 9.72 g (150 gr) bullet velocity, at muzzle 921 m/s 745 m/s 710 m/s 860 m/s bullet velocity, at 300 yards (273 meters) 585 m/s 570 m/s 470 m/s 674 m/s bullet velocity, at 550 yards (500 meters) 385 m/s 450 m/s 341 m/s 516 m/s bullet energy, at muzzle 1700 J 2519 J 1991 J 3594 J bullet energy, at 300 yards (273 meters) 686 J 1475 J 872 J 2207 J bullet energy, at 550 yards (500 meters) 297 J 919 J 460 J 1294 J 5.56 weighs 12g and 7.62x51 weighs 24. The person with the 5.56 fires with 3 round burst, the person with the 7.62 fires semi-auto. 3 shots=1 kill or 1 shot = 1 kill? Which is better? 36g or 24g? A 30 round 5.56 will get you ten pulls of the trigger if set on 3 round burst (the 3 round burst compensates for the smallness of the round. A 20 round 7.62 will give you 20 pulls.

@wittmann: Sounds great. Thanks for the write up. I am sorry you did not get to see Shiloh, but understand you had little time. Yes, I was thinking about it as we were in the area, but we weren’t really prepared for a longer excursion otherwise I certainly would have taken us there. I could write a bit more in depth, but I don’t think it would be very interesting to others. I would definitely recommend stopping in either place (Nashville or Memphis), especially for people from other countries. Country music, southern food and Elvis Presley are some of the most recognizably American things out there and I am sure foreigners would enjoy it. In fact, we saw a couple from Australia in Nashville and at Graceland there were people from all over the world. It was pretty cool.

@djensen: It worked! Wait until you see Young Grasshopper’s setup. It’s pretty darn cool. Saw it, and mightily impressed, but i’m curious how does one get such a large size map? or how does one make one?

@ajgundam5: @Jennifer: @ajgundam5: @Jennifer: @ajgundam5: Babylon 5 was a great show to. I wish it was still on tv and each season didn’t cost 100 dollars Each season’s like $60, at least when I bought htem Hmm only place round here that I have seen them they are 100  Maybe they were on sale?  Check Amazon.com or Babylon5.com.  Forget which one I ordered them from. You’re right at amazon.com they are about 50 bucks each thanks  Null perspiration!

@Topmat: Hope your game goes great!  Thanks we had a good time. We finished that game and played another on Sat.  Then I dug out my Axis & Allies Navel ships and Wings of War (WWI & WWII) we played all those too. So we played a lot of games over the weekend I really enjoyed the time glad I never got rid of those things.

@BigBlocky: I’m a great fan of the UN but…… It has lately been a disaster… Germany in my opinion has taken herself entirely out of the equation, it is her choice. …Anybody who says “No matter what happens, I won’t do a thing” loses their right to consultation. True, i am not happy with that too firm position as well. But to be honest: In my memory the US started similar in the opposite position, not really accepting any “evidence” against their point. If the UN is hell bent on being useless as it was in Bosnia at Srebrencia … useless as it was in Rwanda … The UN is not the world government. It can only be as strong as it members want it to be, especially as the strongest member wants it to be. It’s not the worlds policeman, and it doesn’t have an own army to command. You can say it is weak, and i wouldn’t object. But: do you want it stronger or shattered? No, I’m sorry. The US has shown enough evidence. Even if there were no weapons of mass destruction there is no argument that I have heard that convinces me it’s better to let this mass murderer stay in control and hold hostage a country of 22 million. You are right in the second part of that caption, but i would not say at all that the US has shown enough evidence. It is more that the US defies what ever Hans Blix is saying: For the US, the Iraq is in a lose-lose situation. Whatever he does, the US won’t be satisfied and claim it’s further proof. If you don’t want to left a finger to help these people then fine. But get the hell out of my way because I am coming through…… If your government had argued like that in the start, the situation would be totally different. To change the position now would lokk extremely silly and would hint that there is some hidden interest by the US that they don’t want to say alound. For you coming through and me getting out of your way: If you always prefer action without thinking, then it might be better for you if i trip you while you pass me. Then we can sit together and make up a strategy that has more chances of success. Assume you are right, and Saddam has WMD. Hoe many of his people do you think will survive being freed?

GI- The point of the case is The parents want to care for her and the husband wants the feeding tube gone. I wrestled with this case for a long time since I don’t think the Government should be involved in these types of decisions. My opinion changed for all the reasons I listed in my original response. Incidentally, the Law passed by the Florida legislature and signed by gov. Bush bans the “medical procedure” that would have Killed teri. As fas I know it doesn’t ban euthanasia. I have a problem with euthanasia since it reminds me of the old “Eugenics” laws here in America as well as those of the Third Reich.
