Like yourself, I took an oath in the 1960s to support the Constitution & served with two fighter Groups during the Vietnam War. Just so you know. In my post #16, I stated where I was coming from, where I felt others were coming from, and felt that our views were not reconcilable. I left it at...

I do believe that the line was already crossed by the replies of some of the Forum members who defended the depictions of rape. Maybe Down Under your society as a whole, and its politicians in particular, take less of a cavalier attitude toward rape than I've found the case to be in this...

Only if the shoe fits.

So, then, nothing is out-of-bounds, where the freedom to manufacture, sell & buy toys & models is concerned, including child rape? What a cop-out on the parts of the "freedom" defenders, to say "well I wouldn't buy it, but I'll defend the right to make it available." By extension, that implies...

It's obvious from responses that there is a big disconnect between a number of feelings about the right to manufacture, sell, and buy depictions of rape & my absolute horror of the act & the sale of it period through whatever medium. I truly must come from another time & place in history, with...

Silly me....I thought that depictions of rape would surely be an out-of-bounds area. Does this then mean that some of you guys would defend depictions of child rape as well? After all, if we are to extend your logic, that has happened/does happen, and nothing, apparently,is off the table. In my...

I wanted to bring this item to everyones' attention because of the subject matter that's for sale. Even without that American politician's recent statements about "legitimate rape" and the worldwide comdemnation those statements have received, there never was a place in the toy soldier/model...

I would guess that during the Crimean War, the opposing sides were fairly evenly matched in the "stupid blunders" department.{eek3}

Domestic harmony is a wonderful thing.............and a full time occupation!:rolleyes2::tongue:

Yup. Always keep your stories straight!^&grin^&grin

I wouldn't say no to a firing crew. I'm currently using the Monongahela gun & crew for my Plains of Abraham diorama.

Well, if you're single now, but never had a prior marriage, you obviously don't know how "the system" works. The missus can always get something like a new pair of shoes because "they look great/go with my one outfit/were a bargain," etc. You can NEVER buy that additional figure/building/piece...

Sometimes, I order items when I know that my wife will be away visiting friends. If the planets are in the right alignment, the dealer & the postal service will somehow work in sync to get the package to me before the missus returns. The new arrivals are quickly interspersed among the existing...

In my case, hiding something in plain sight worked for me once. I had gotten the Barzso Stone Fort & set it up on the floor of our parlor. A couple of months went by before my wife noticed it. When she asked me about it, I just told her that I'd had it for some time.:rolleyes2:Whew! Treefrog's...

Don't forget Keegan's "The Price of Admiralty," which covers Trafalgar, Jutland, Midway, and the Battle for the Atlantic. A worthwhile read to add to his aforementioned works.
