There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Very interesting indeed. Notice how the UK virtually stopped testing once they got in the mid 20's. And India let one off and then gave up until Pakistan came on board. It's almost as if their respective governments thought "OK, nothing more left to prove here then, these things are dangerous." Even China hasn't let that many off in comparison to the big two. I notice also that UK and France choose to blow up other peoples land and not their own.
