Could it be, "what-if it went into mass production"?

But surely those Rooshians could manage a sticky wicket to keep scores down!

I see my error. I was thinking of the "kugelpanzer". Obviously, this is not that machine.

Ummm, I think that was the reason for Mayflower to set sail back in the old days People in Europe were not free to believe what they wanted so those who really wanted to believe in their own manner packed their things and left / Robin

I meant exactly what I said. "Folks are always free to believe anything that they wish to." I noted BELIEVE - I didn't say anything about SPEAKING one's beliefs out loud! Being a far-removed sprout from the Mayflower II voyage (1634, IIRC), I'm pretty "tuned-in" to why those folks left England for the far distant lands... It was about religious persecution, about not being free to openly practice and observe their take on religion and religious beliefs - NOT about BELIEF itself. What those migrants wished to do - quite like folks today who express their opinions and beliefs OUT LOUD for others to hear - was to have the freedom to SPEAK their beliefs OUT LOUD. In fact, almost every part of my lineage on "all sides" came over here for that reason. NOBODY yet has found any sure way (other than killing folks or at least killing the brains) to stop anyone from thinking what they will! Public expression of what you think has, on the other hand, always been subject to repression and control by others. Hence our 1st Amendment, regarding Freedom of Speech (and of religion, too). It says nothing about freedom of belief or thought. I firmly BELIEVE, and will publicly share my belief, that our Founding Fathers were well aware of the distinction between thinking something and saying it. Maybe it's splitting of hairs and "semantics" to some... That SHARING belief is synonymous with BELIEVING. But they are not. You are always free to think and believe whatever you wish - in private. Hence, one is always free to believe in The Spaghetti Monster being the true arbitrator of the universe. And here in the USA, following our 1st Amendment, one is free to publicly proclaim that belief. And, once publicly stated, others are free to speak in response to that statement - to laud, decry, endorse, rebut it. Publicly stating that belief is, like sharing any OPINION, subject to whatever those around you will accept, and is subject to many strictures, both written and formalized and otherwise. Cheers! Bob

Speak for yourself. My family was kicked out of every other country they tried to settle in. Ireland kicked us out for being too aggressive.

And it comes with a set of Finnish markings well!

Yep, them Finns are fierce warriors and when they needed equipment they captured it from the Russkis

And of course I can only speak for myself and mine in this matter! LOTS of folks are HERE for other reasons - getting kicked out of home among them. We are a bit here,
