Not if you don't let them off the boat. The tow the boat out to sea and shoot holes in it: The Navy gets target practice, the sharks get fed and the boat becomes a new reef for divers to swim around. A win-win situation all round. ;D Well if you're going to go the whole "stick them in a boat and tow it out to sea" route anyway, why bother with shooting them first? Might as well save on bullets eh? In fact, the navy can get even more target practise when they inevitably abandon ship and try to swim to safety. But I never said it should be ship that's doing the sinking: You could use a submarine and torpedo the boat and then sell DVDs of the footage. And then machine gun everything in the water, giving the poor lil' sharkies a nice meal.

As I see it, as long as my country doesn't get infested with fundies (more so) I can live with it.

Not going to touch the obvious question of fundie Muslims and whether or not this means you want to use them as chum with a 50 foot science pole.

I dare you to tell ltfred that you think that way about Muslim boat people. Like I said, I'm not touching it with a 50 foot science pole, but I would pay good money to watch the ensuing fireworks.

I'm aware that not all boat people are Muslim fundies nor are all Muslin fundies boat people. I trust the same can be said for you. That said though, my thoughts on boat people in general is simply deport them, as you do with any illegal immigrants.

That said though, my thoughts on boat people in general is simply deport them, as you do with any illegal immigrants. As to boat people in general, I'm not touching that with a 70 foot science pole! But again, would pay good money to see you argue that point with ltfred. Extra if you make a point to remind him that mandatory detention was initiated by the Keating (labor) government.

An extra 20 feet on the science pole eh? Well, how's this? If he responds, send me some money and I'll give it a shot. Though I'd also accept a gift code for Terraria.

I was going to post a meaningful contribution to this thread. But then I realized I have no sense of patriotism and know more of the American anthem and can sing the entire French anthem, and I only know 2 lines of ours

I'm into Astro Empires myself, and more than happy to buy you a month or two there.

As a glance it looks like a 2d Minecraft clone, though its more like a sandbox RPG with no storyline.
