    What to do with a captured pirate

    Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves a bit? First you have to catch one. I'm afraid given the ludicrous rules of engagement of the EU joint operation thats unlikely. Our ships are only allowed to 'discourage' pirates by being in the area. Rather difficult given the amount of ocean they are...

    Ceasefire -- Hamas style

    What exactly do you mean by 'real' war? Large scale warfare with conventional forces? 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Infant state of Israel is attacked by every one of its neighbours. Israel defeats the combined armies of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq. 1967 Six Day War. Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon...

    I kicked the Arab, I stepped on his head'

    Sorry Laila, but there is worse violence on British streets every single week. Just today we had a 22 year old sentenced for stabbing a young actor to death. These boys at least survived. Only thing the story illustrates is that teenage gang violence is a problem across many nations and...

    Military equipment checklist for the paranoid

    Ah okay. I'd definitely recommend water purification tablets. Even in a developed country a civic crisis can damage water supplies.

    Military equipment checklist for the paranoid

    I don't get it. Are you enlisted and talking about useful non-standard kit to take with you on operations? Or are you a paranoid civilian preparing a disaster survival kit?

    Calling DP Gamers

    Hmmm... Interesting. I never played online prior to getting a 360 but took the plunge after returning from the US. Halo 3 was about to be released and I wanted to be able to play with the friends I'd made in college playing Halo 2 over a LAN. I prefer to play with people I know IRL or have some...

    Calling DP Gamers

    So, another forum I sometimes frequent uses a sticky thread where any gamers on the boards can add their Xbox Live Gamercard or Playstation Network ID (Or accursed Wii friend codes). And I was wondering if DP could do the same sort of thing? We seem to have quite a few gamers on here. Best thing...

    Would video games get you to join the Army?

    Videogames have allowed me to do a great many things I otherwise would not have done. Raced sports cars, explored ancient ruins, traveled to the stars, hooked up with blue skinned alien chicks, and slaughtered Nazis/Aliens/Zombies (delete as applicable) by their thousands. That said, videogames...

    For all American people ,for all people in over the world

    I'm not American, but forearmed is forewarned. If my regional nationalist party (Plaid Cymru) ever decides to start launching rockets across the border into England I will be sure not to vote for them as my representatives in the Assembly Government. Thanks for the pro-tip.

    Men jailed for caustic soda rape

    I once again reiterate my sincere belief that any candidate who was prepared to swear on a stack of Bibles that he/she would reinstate a death penalty into British law would be elected with the largest landslide in Parliamentary history.

    Latest Conflict in Gaza: Success or Failure?

    Regardless what position one takes I think it has been a failure. Its been another chapter in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, there has been no resolution though. The status quo can only be considered a failure for both parties. Success would be the abandonment of the campaign...
