    I guess that it might be some cultural interpretation that messes things up - try to imagine you had to explain it to Al (ie. not using complicated words and long sentences).
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      Al gets it. You don't. Languages just might not be your thing.

        It wouldn't be the first time with him.

          That's the problem - you don't understand what I mean, so please explain what you think I mean.

            BC, the word you are looking for is "equivalent"... or something equivalent to it at least.

              Equivalent, counterpart, something like that. In any case, BC, don't go telling native speakers of your second language that your miscommunication was their fault. Well, half a native speaker in Al's case; his first language was Philly, but it's more closely related than Frisian.

                Yeah. Or he breaks down the door of the wrong house... right? right???

                  That was not a real president.

                    Obama's no Bush, more the second term of Carter. That being said, on the way to breaking down the door, tripping and breaking his nose.

                      Screw taking it back. I'm just curious why the option of destroying it was so quickly rejected.

                        If the self destruct malfunctioned, then it would require knowing where it is to destroy it.

                          I would bet you that they knew the area it crashed from where they lost control of it.

                            "Area" could cover a heck of a lot of ground.
                            How would you search for it? Another spy drone?

                              Hmmm. And then we go from an accident with an unarmed drone to a full scale incident where you bomb Iran. Great. Thia will get them to abandon their stupid nuclear program for sure.

                                Do you seriously think they didn't know where it was?
