So here i was going through some articles on Military.com and found this article; currently the US military is issuing the M4 carbine assult rifle as the standard for all combat troops. I thought this was a step up for our troops until i saw this report. http://www.defensetech.org/
Now just a brief summary of this; the aberdeen test center conducted a series of test in a dust chamber, consisting of putting 6000 rounds down the barrel of 4 seperate assualt rifles to compare performance and reliability.
Here are the results
M4- 882 stoppages
H&K-416 233 total
FN Scar mk16-226 total
and the XM8 the winner with 127 total stoppages.
The military's response to this?

"The M4 carbine is a world-class weapon," said Brig. Gen. Mark Brown, the Army's top equipment buyer, in a Dec. 17 briefing at the Pentagon. Soldiers "have high confidence in that weapon, and that high confidence level is justified, in our view, as a result of all test data and all investigations we have made."

Notice that the digits 1 through 9 are used in order to arrive at 106.
Question for you is - using 1 through 9 in order, and using only addition or subtraction, create an equation that equals 100.

And definitely more down to earth.I haven't been dating Czech guy for ages.When I say 'old fashioned" I don't mean sitting at home waiting for your partner to come back home just to eat so he can leave for pub with his friends.Seems to me that foreign guys treat us better and appreciate us more.And no,for those who are asking if I merried rich guy,the answer is no.I am making my money.We do wanna have better life,but we are independant.At least most of Czech girls I know.Abt prostitution...hehe,the only differences are in honesty.Still see a lot of it here,On the streets,in casinos,some strip clubs,most of them,should I say...What a hypocrites...So for those who think you can have more in czech-don't bother.You can have same over here,just for little bit more and definetelly with much less pretty girl...So save your money you would spend on ticket...PS: and now-be careful and enjoy your time...PSS;hope my spelling didn't bother you ;-)

Females constantly wear low-cut dresses, then feign anger when a man looks. They want the privilege that the power of beauty gives, not the responsibility.

Back in the day, it was considered sexy for a girl to have curves. Not fat, but large breasts and hips, with a small waist. I have an extremely curvy figure (36in bust, 22in waist, 36in hips) and I'm rather petite. It seems as though I can't find any clothing that suits me. Is this because it is no longer sexy to be curvy? All of the trendy clothing is only flattering on women who are quite flat chested and about 6ft tall. It looks like maternity wear on me, and it's begining to make me feel fat rather than feminine. What are your opinions?

Me and this girl are together. We arent going out but we are together. we were each other's first kiss, and not even a week after that kiss she is with one of her guy friends. he wants to make me mad so he suggests they take some pictures of them "fake" kissing and show them to me to make me mad. she was ok with it. so they had a piece of paper in between their lips. well he slipped the piece of paper off his lips and then he kissed her. she pushed him off of her, but she wasnt exactly mad at him. she explained the situation to me and owned up to everything that she did. i said it was his fault but she said that it was her fault to because she could've prevented it. I just wanted to know what some of you think of this.
