    sorta weird why some belgium guy would get all american nationalistic too
    The human mind cannot grasp the causes of phenomena in the aggregate. But the need to find these causes is inherent in man’s soul. And the human intellect, without investigating the multiplicity and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, any one of which taken separately may seem to be the cause, snatches at the first, the most intelligible approximation to a cause, and says: “This is the cause!"

    Lot of boards, they prefer that people check in past threads for similar information. We post because we have something to say whether other people think it's relevant or not.

    Show respect for dead threads If the thread in question has not seen a post in a couple months and is dormant you might be able to breathe new life into it. However unless there is some ground breaking revelation-if a thread has been idle for 6 months or more its dead and leave the corpse alone.
    We're not saying you shouldn't post in dead threads. We're saying you shouldn't post in dead threads if there's nothing worth saying. The old threads are founts of information that should be accessed frequently and updated with new and relevant information whenever possible. That tad of American jingoism was neither new nor relevant information, and therefore relatively worthless.

    Besides, everyone is free to post what they like in whatever thread they like. In return, we are all free to post about necro-ing threads...

    I wasn't implying the older information in the thread was bad, just emphasizing the necro-ness of the necropost, this is the kind of post that might get by in a current discussion, though I bet it would be questioned there - based on the inaccuracy of the statements and its nationalistic nature, when but posted like this, it becomes a classic necropost and is subject to silliness about SWNSNBM, zombies and dead kittens - I added the poncho slide because it made me laugh. I saw it as a WAB tradition, one of our little rituals to show necroposting newbies that the board has rules and conventions we follow - and a few amusing traditions.

    The post is not in following with our guidelines, here they are:

    http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/wab...val-guide.html
    please note #13 and #20 (taking the stance the US is better without accurate information i.e. "British Submarine tech is entirely derived from US technology", this is not accurate, the British SSBN's use Trident this much is correct, otherwise it is not accurate - British submarines are British technology))

    One of the traditions here is the introduction - you can do that here - once you reach 25 posts - you can open threads to discuss your idea.

    I rephrase: Most of British nuclear Submarine tech is derived from US technology.. I hope you agree with that.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Dreadnought_(S101)

    Although the plan was to build all-British nuclear submarines, much time would be saved by accepting the American technological lead and taking advantage of US nuclear technology. Although Rickover wished to supply the third generation S3W reactor of the Skate class, Mountbatten exerted his influence and the entire machinery system for an American Skipjack-class submarine, with its fifth generation S5W reactor, was obtained.[1] This was known as the "American Sector" (see 1958US-UK Mutual Defence Agreement).
