The fact that those missiles are in many cases designed and built in the UK by companies employing thousands and paying untold millions in UK tax revenues that then get spent on homelesses, nurses, teachers, etc, etc is of course a bit too complicated for their tiny fvcking brains.

It really is amazing how many people still appear to think that capital expenditure at a macro level is a zero sum game.

Yeah right man! And here's another thing: the money generated by these weapons of war create a new generation of radicals. Case in point, the Black Panther Party. The reason those cats felt able to act on their whims is that they grew up moderately well off. How? Because their parents had gotten jobs in defense industry manufacturing in the 40s and 50s.

So, if you want to see the world explode, liberals, endorse military spending. The cracked out renegades of tomorrow will thank you.

All meaningless because you saw a documentary on Sky and remembered 12% of the information. :thumbup:

Um, I would not necessarily brag about my sex tourist escapades if I were you.
