28 out of 43 means you're cruising towards the territory of x00% inflated-data dude.

if you'd mentioned you were defining "submarine-collision" to include damage you'd settle at small-claims over a ripped net which the sub doesn't flinch at, i think most would have a problem accepting it and the 43 number. failing to mention it was certainly convenient to your interests though.

who do you think i might be? just because you lose an argument doesn't mean there's a conspiracy-afloat dude. let it go, you'll win plenty more and lose plenty more in life, you just started at a disadvantage on this one and stretched some data out of laziness. i sit around looking for misrepresentations and distortions in documents and data all day, do it enough and you recognize it fast. i'm not infallible, but i care about the veracity and applicability of what you put in front of me. I've got an MALD from the fletcher school of law and diplomacy, half or more of the classes there are security-related.

c62's a primary-resource on this and i'll listen to whatever he has to say. i've got some fundamental-understanding of the topic and don't have to rely on google. the problem with google is you're going to get a bunch of repeated news stories lacking in scope, detail and followup, a bunch of biased sources like the op-ed you used, a bunch of sites lacking the credibility needed to be accepted by the un, academia, ngo's, ho's, bitches or whoever you submitted it to. then out of the top-25 returns, maybe 2-3 are worth looking at, but you'd need to spend some time there .

commercial fishing's one of the most dangerous jobs, submarines are about as much of a threat to fishermen as lightning or white sharks are to us.

the subs seem about as fazed by "colliding" with fishing nets as a rhino would be if you put a napkin on it's nose and towing a snagged tugboat a bit then breaking the line seems to be closer to hooking a killer-whale on a flyrod with your hands crazy-glued to the rod-the tugs are going to go for a ride, the giant thing with a nuclear-powerplant isn't going to suffer.




It wasn't conviniently forgotten.


I don't think I've lost. I also don't need to make up some conspiracy theory to divert attention from my "says you" total defeat. As I say, a smart debater always leaves wiggle room.

You seem to think my entire thread was based upon that one article, as I say it was a very quick google as I had things to do, and was only to confirm that there had in fact been accidents, which again you'd pretty much intimated there had not, particuarly in reference to Ohio and LA class subs, which in fact there have been.

To say you had a clear victory is nonsensical. Any victory is stretching it.


The point about that is that I've suspected you are also someone else. Its nothing new. Everyone suspects everyone of being everyone else. I assure you I have only the one ID here. I just have a little more evidence than usual. Its too risky a proposition to take it any further, maybe someone else will smoke you out.


And the whole point of sub collisions is that any collision is a bit of a worry wouldn't you say?


This has all peetered out into pointless "I scored here, no you didn't I did" yada yada yada.

You'll notice as I say I never took a "stand and deliver" tact on anything, because I have no idea what c62 used to do, maybe he pinged things all day, nor you. Which seems to have been a prudent approach which has always served me well. I'm no US navy expert by any stretch of the imagination, representing myself to be more than a "fan" would be stupid.

And I don't have access to the Pentagon or whatever, so unfortunately all I have is google sadly.


All of which raises another question in my mind, why would clearly intelligent, and that is no pocket-pissing intended, its fairly obvious, ppl such as yourself and arab come here to rip-on ppl to the point their lives collapse? Have there been any XPT enduced deaths? I thought Knox was going to go over the [l]edge for a little while there.


And what is a MALD please?


And the next time we have a tete-a-tete, I will bring to bare a veritable literary arsenal the likes of which shall be earth-shattering, soul-destroying and awe-inspiring beyond belief.

So never.
