It goes into the upper atmosphere.

The world moves.

It comes back down again.

London to New York in less than the time it takes on a jet and this by you is outdated.

So anything less than a teleport is old fashioned by you I guess?

If what your claiming is true, why isn't the airship the preferred means of travel in the modern era? London to New York in less time than it takes a jet by something that is basically powered by propellers? And what powers these magical propellers? 

I have absolutely nothing against airships. But as a viable, modern, convenient form of air travel they are an outdated concept.

Hot air/electric hybrid airships are the way to go.

The air heaters and the engines can all be powered by renewables (it can even partially recharge as it flies if it has solar cells on the skin).

Yeah nice, but that is not the answer. 

I think, apart from cars, you need to look at air travel. Yeah there's a concerted effort with hybrids and electric powered cars to diminish the need for petrol powered cars but really that's the tip of an extremely massive iceberg. Where is the alternative? Where is the alternative power source for air travel? Is the HUGE revenue these companies (BP, Shell etc) generate, holding back the introduction of advanced technologies? 

Islam a religion of peace?

And this is where the conflict stems from. Western Europe has increasingly become a more secular society over the years. The majority don't need religion to tell them how to live their lives. We've moved on. They don't like the way we live? Then stay in their own fucking country. That's all it boils down to.

The "way we live" is itself a troubling statement that can pretty much be used to justify anything, and oppress anyone.

So would you prefer to live under the rules of a western democracy, or under a Sharia controlled dictatorship? And make no mistake, Sharia Law is a dictatorship. Make your choice. The UK or Saudi Arabia?

Your false dichotomy is truly ridiculous.Truly, truly ridiculous.

 

Gaaaah! There really are lessons to be learned and precautions to be taken here. Unfortunately, you have one side that is far too willing to sit back and say, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander", like Bingo. While the other side makes ridiculous claims and drags it too far in the other direction.

Guys with views like Hey It's Me's makes guys with similar opinions to me on the subject look like loonies because we all get categorized together. 

So my opinion is that of a lunatic?

Wasn't Gabriel Byrne rumoured to be in line for a role in the PT? Bet he was pleased (in hindsight) that  that never happened Lol. 

I was serious about Dan Stevens btw.

Such a double Yoker! Lol

Leeches anyone?

What's the betting the sale of Lucasfilm and all the goings on with the ST, one stipulation was the OT was not to be fucked with or gone near. Knowing GL's apparent disdain of the OOT I wouldn't bet against this. 

Just learnt (belatedly) that while in the UK promoting STID, JJ visited the set of Downton Abbey. Lets hope he was on a scouting mission for possible actors for Episode VII on the quiet and singled out Dan Stevens for a major role? :p

Oddly enough I do agree with that. But despite that, the point made, 'We want all the benefits of living in a liberal democracy without any of the responsibilities or sacrifices' is a far more telling and important one.

Read it from a Muslim themselves. http://leedsisoc.com/blog/201305/why-we-muslims-just-dont-get

So your saying take an ordinary bunch of western men and show them this video and there would be at least one who would agree with it?

Shocking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icNTs30ZRvQ

I wonder how things would have turned out had everyone - after reading the novel Dracula when it was first published - come away with the idea that "Dracula" was actually not a name but a title all vampires used. Probably the idea would have only gained more-and-more prominence until it became holy writ, leading almost all vampire characters in later works of fiction to bear the "Dracula" name along with their own. There would have been a Dracula Orlok, Dracula Blackula, Dracula Count, Dracula Edward, etc.

It would have been so unbelievably fucking stupid.

Hey you forgot about this guy! (Tut tut tut) lol

At least to get a girl's interest I wouldn't write the line off completely, Warb.

Hmmm...(nodding approvingly..)

There will never be peaceful segregation between communities while one community chooses to shut themselves off from everyone else and refuse to even try to integrate with the local people. That creates division and ill feeling,  when that's the first thing you should be looking to avoid. And this is the alienation problem the majority of people have with the Muslim communities. There are areas of East London where road names are written in Arabic for crying out loud. They don't want to integrate and they never will integrate.

My father recently told me of a book he had read called LONDONISTAN and recommended it to me. Here are some reviews.
