Plane / Planes / Aircraft / Aeroplane / Airplane appreciation

I think the point I'm trying to get across, without having read through all the politics in this thread (believe it or not, I'm just interested in the aircraft!) is that if you want to just talk about cycling then go right ahead. I think it's wrong that you seem to be trying to enforce your views on what should and shouldn't be discussed by others on this forum.

That's just how I see it.

I've never seen Top Gun, btw, was it any good?

Only the volleyball scene.

I would rather prefer not to be impressed about the speed record in air if that could save millions of lives, and billions of money paid by us for fill the pocket of the lords of war, while we are here posting stickers and talking about geeks.

Unfortunately most of the technical progress happened because of the military needs.
If curing cancer would eliminate Talibans, trust me - Americans would be on it full power already.

Saab planes and fast cars.
Volvos,just sensible cars and tractors.

I'm guessing you're straight then.

Straight up...or something...

That's just another good reason to fuck off the military and use the money for all our needs, including medical research.

But then are we sure that the lords of the pharmaceutics will be happy to cure cancer in a quicker way?

Let's debate.

Good luck with that.

Why because there are not pharmaceutics experts in here?

Or at least pharmaceutics-mongers who are wanking over it.

Yes, very fucking wrong.
Music, films etc etc... fair enough.... But warplanes, tractors and hovercrafts?!!??

A line, we must have.

Why do music and films get preference. Because they are popular things to like and somehow related to cycling? Or is it because you like music and films?

I refer back to what I said earlier, don't like it? Start your own cycling forum where you can discuss ONLY the thing YOU want to discuss. Crying and shouting about it on here is going to achieve FUCK ALL.

Why not rename the thread:

"Aircraft appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc"

It's fine to have a cars thread, why not an aircraft thread?

Don't start on the thread name, I already said that.

Well, I definitely think pharmaceutics is a business that should developed more and brought at the heights of everyone who cannot see more far than a couple of inches, from his nose.

Finite has a lot to answer for.

Another of my favourites. T33 "Shooting Star"

Those jato take-offs are fucking insane.

Godammit BDW, you don't post pictures of crash victims in the Car Appreciation thread! How about famine victims in Weight/Fat Loss.

Presumably millions of dead in the "writing implements" thread would be the next logical step.

Perhaps because victims of cars are just accident, while victims of fighters planes are just the purpose of this machines?

Pen is mightier and all that.
