My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
I have to confess, I haven't done the math... But I can tell you have no problem getting drunk whenever I'm free to do so, on good single malt scotches(like Laphroaig or ardbeg, my current favourites)
I'm thinking about studying a year on France.... The US would be fun, but meh... France sounds like more fun, with frenchspeaking women....

1. I am a beer man. Will be to the day they put me in the clay.
2. Texas is better than France we even had a thread about it. I'm pretty sure the final vote was Texas: 347643. France: 45. Not to mention our women bathe shave and aren't stuck up. America has so much more to offer than France. Oh sure France has the Louvre, Bastille, Eiffel tower, The Arc De Triumph and many other historical wonderment's But in America you can deep fry your candy bars. That is freaking EPIC.

Good point Dave , glider pilots are also are used to landing in water after engine problems .He's glider pilot as well
Not at all , this was an airbus right and these were geese .But I hope you know what a load of tripe that is.
Well there was this bus which is like an airbus but with less wheels and there were swans which are like geese but bigger , the bus did a tricky manouver to avoid the swans and didn't end up in a river .
Now you might say there is a difference in height , but the airbus was taking off so it was quite low and the bus was a double decker so it was quite high .

You may have your own motives for wanting this guy in Texas but Texas has enough problems with out him. France may be a good place for him to be himself, or it may turn out to be like Texas would for him…
Those unable to see the positive in others may be totally lacking in perspective to have it within themselves.
On the other hand some would debate the color of the sky, and with a gloomy perspective never see anything beyond shades of gray.

You know aircraft on take off cant maneuver too well without loosing airspeed and going down.
The geese naturally assumed they had right of way.
Education: that which reveals to the wise,
and conceals from the stupid,
the vast limits of their knowledge.
Mark Twain
Well the pilot should of thought about that before he recklessly rammed that flock of geeseYou know aircraft on take off cant maneuver too well without loosing airspeed and going down.
But of course the real story behind this which you won't get in the liberal media because they don't want the continuing threat to overshadow Obamas upcoming little ceremony...

"Hero" sells papers (and TV/Radio airtime). The guy did a fine job, and was well-suited, trained and experienced for it. We've all seen what happens when a big plane's wingtip touches water before its belly: cartwheel & destruction.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Strike, French women manage to be slender and have curves, not to mention the accent.
Though, I am ashamed to say that my personal preference is "Becca from Guildford."

We appear to have exhausted the topic of heroism (although one might argue that eating deep fried confectionary is a kind of heroism all of its own).

1. I was that too, until I realized I got a lot more women with red wine....
2. I didn't vote in it, and since my vote counts for around 1 billion regular human votes, France would win easily.
3. Who cares about the art and old buildings anyway? Why look at a 500-year old house when you can look at a 20-year old woman instead?
4. American women are fat. French women are thin. I'm thin. American women would crush me. I can tolerate some sloppy hygiene(I'll make them sweat anyway) and some hair if it means I get to survive. Besides, it's not like I can't shave off any offending hair myself.
4. Deep fried candy bars? Seriously? I'm very far from a health freak, but there's just no way such a thing will enter my mouth. In fact, the food is one of the top reasons I want to go to France.

Problems? ha!You may have your own motives for wanting this guy in Texas but Texas has enough problems with out him
1. The women here drink beer
2. I'm just trying to help you make your decision. Besides there are humans and then there are TEXANS. We are like and advanced form.
3. EXACTLY! America is all about the new and advanced
4. American women are NOT fat! They are simply curve and voluptuous. I am not very thin so I am sorry for your plight of being crushed by a beautiful curvy American (or if you're really lucky TEXAN) women. It's not merely about hygiene it's there ATTITUDE.
5. AMerican food is the best. Deep fired snickers are the FOOD OF GODS!

OTOH, the French are normally fully literate.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
