Where have I heard this argument before?
I think the important thing is that we each come to roughly the same conclusions on this board on most things environmental, migration excluded, and we give our reasoning for those conclusions. It is then up to a visitor to weigh up our arguments against those they might see elsewhere and they will hopefully agree with us. That way we can influence what goes on in the world for the good.
Even where we disagree, migration for example, the arguments for both sides are thrashed out and hopefully a visitor can come to their own conclusions.

Probably the worst unintended consequence of an open internet.vtsnowedin wrote:Have any of you had a moment or thought that you realized might be of considerable use to the enemies of your country and stopped typing before you hit send just in case the Bastards might be reading your idle conversations?
I've had a couple of thoughts lately that I certainly don't want them to act on and a thought I had about a year ago has recently come to pass.
The most troubling part is that if I( an average Joe six pack) thought of it it is most certainly obvious and will be thought of shortly regardless.
Ooops I hope I haven't given too much away...

Still does. And yes, agreed.PS_RalphW wrote:I have previously mentioned on this forum (several years ago) that key UK energy infrastructure had clear points of vulnerability in remote places (such as NG pipeline terminals) which might be vulnerable to attack, but shortly afterwards I read of increased funding for policing that kind of target, and recent events clearly show that killing innocent people, the more innocent the better, is the current focus of terrorists.
