There's also the fact that none of those countries have nuclear weapons Floffe Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 03:14:48 PM

It's not idiotic at all. - 29/09/2009 05:21:49 AM 540 Views

It might be true in some situations, but it's a weak argument against this issue. - 29/09/2009 05:15:47 AM 545 Views
subs are really really cramped. Ever heard the phrase hot racking? - 29/09/2009 03:23:33 PM 638 Views
