Say a lot about the human race doesn't it?

Thanks for posting the link, I love stuff like that. The internet porn industry is worth three times the video game industry!?

I followed the link back to the the creators site. It's got loads of similar stuff on it.

Take a look at the one on troop levels in Afghanistan--there are only 10,000 Taliban in all of the country, yet they are winning against double-digit times that number of foreign troops and contractors. Muslim MInutemen is what they are--they defeated Russia and they'll defeat us. Nothing steels someone's resolve like fighting for their own land--the Vietcong taught us that because we forgot we taught George III the same thing.

I am not defending any ideology here--just talking about "winnability".
