so if you are worried about a bomb on board a 747 jumbo jet:

Meh, its just a scam to fool the nutjobs not to bother trying.

Wouldn't you say they're beyond logical argument?"

No. Maybe beyond 'reasoned argument', but not 'logical'.

In any case, it was all down to the masking tape.

If it hadn't been taped all along the fuselage the plane would be in a million pieces now.

I've heard that the stuff is sooo strong, that people use it to reinforce Manitou headtubes...

WOW!

yup - masking tape has the power of ten tigers - once used it to make a wheel arch for my rusty Rover SD1

No. Maybe beyond 'reasoned argument', but not 'logical'.

How so?

I think I know where you're going with it, but I'm still not buying any capacity for logic. In fact, quite the reverse.

I think you're exaggerating, now ;-)



I reckon it would be hundreds of thousands, not millions...

I thought the black underseal you paint over the top of the masking tape gave the strength?

Well, put crudely:

Logic is the study of reason. Faith competes with reason.


That is on the assumption that your mention of 'they' being beyond "logical argument" refers to Islamic fundamentalists.

Which, I reasoning, it does...

I suppose, but any bombing terrorist that does so on the basis of religion - I'm an equal opportuinity kinda guy.

Um, can we start over again, 'cos I've got a big headache, here...

I say they're beyond logical argument, OK, and I think you are inferring my reasons correctly.

You said "No" to my question about being beyond logical argument, yet seem to agree with my rationale for why I said that...?

Sooo... I'm not kinda that sure what you actually mean? Do you believe they can be logically reasoned with, then?

I have to say, though, I never bought into the view that the test / propoganda was for the benefit of would-be bombers, though.

Oh, it's Friday and the weekend and I'm afraid I really can't be bothered as I'm off...

Read between the lines and it's all there.

Anyway, ain't maskin' tape greeeat right...

Best thing for you, it was going nowhere and you weren't making any kind of sense ;-)

 

[BoyBurning]

Can't do smiley faces on the phone, but just imagine there's some here...

 

[Easy_Rider]

Here you go BoyBurning, just for you

Thank F**k for that :roll: Just got back in from a long old day and read this, thought it was a bit like watching question time
