the fact here is your knowledge is exactly the same as anyone elses, based on what they have read as opposed to any real knowledge of the situation

No, research from institutions who compile these stat's for a living.

They may well be incorrect, but I would pay more credence to info taken from a research institute as opposed to info grasped solely from the press.

I don't know how anybody could have any 'real knowledge' of the situation.

Unless of course you are an international arm's dealer.

so the fact you have gone two pages pressing your side while dismissing others sides is purely a waste of time when you finally agree that your knowledge is based on stats that will not be correct, as nobody can really have knowledge of the situation.

so you question someone elses belief that china is a big arms dealer when not even knowing for yourself, as you say thats to your knowledge, but then you admit that nobody can really have any knowledge, so like i said your knowledge on this subject is no more than anyone elses.

so maybe china is a big supplier and maybe they are not, we don't know

I haven't dismissed anyone's 'side'.

I haven't 'pressed' my 'side' for two pages, I've only responded to your incessant questioning.

No-one can or will ever have any real knowledge concerning illegal or unregistered arms deals that may or may not have taken place, that would be speculating.

Of the registered and legal arm's deals that took place in the year 2006, the list I put forward has a degree of credibility behind it.

I don't claim to have a bigger knowledge on the subject than anyone else, I've put forward a list derived from a credible source.

I don't expect any source to be entirely accurate, or to contain illegal or unregistered deals that may or may not have taken place.

Yet your one word answers such as "joke" "no" and "disreaguard" are really not proving your sources, sorry research to be correct.

No, you didn't ask me a specific question. Therefore, I didn't give you a reply.

Oh yeah, and they'd never be misleading would they, so naive.

Where mega bucks are concerned, na, they'd never mislead anyone  never mind as much as they'd mislead a truck full of grenades down a wrong turn for it to get lost.

you don't do yourself any favours mate, wouldn't it be much nicer of just once you say 'ah yes you are right, i have misunderstood something', or said oh my opinion is just speculation based on things i have read that may not be correct'

LFC2007 will do fine, not Karim or Oasis as you constantly suggest.

Bamaga chose to mock my post, I chose to mock his.

There are no 'holes' in my argument.

I put forward a list from a reasonably credible source, accepting at the same time that there is of course a margin for error, just one smaller than press reports alone.

It wasn't highlighted in any of the quotes.

how strange, i said that half an hour ago while you were telling us how your information came from your source, when i said its mere speculation you tell us its from research, only when i show you that research is probably flawed and doesn't give you the full story you turn to this comment that i gave you earlier.

come on, i know personally i will think better of you if you just come out and say you were arguing a moot point rather than carrying it on now and acting as though the idea you have now was your idea all along

Like I said, and have been saying all along. There will always be a margin for error, and the sources may or may not be correct. However, I would trust those who study the issue for a living ahead of individual press reports, or pure speculation.

There may well be another conspiracy involving international research institutes, but I would make a considered judgement, that not everybody in this world is corrupt.

Money corrupts people, mate. Not everyone, but it does corrupt greedy people. When there's massive money in anything at all, you're bound to get corruption at some level.

So fair enough.

Only when it suites you though people are or are not corrupt.

I see.

constantly?  once since you joined the forum does not constitute 'constantly' my friend, just as citing your anonymous sources does not make it correct.

seems you have a problem with 'truth', it seems your honesty changes to suit you and suit your argument. the fact is during this discussion your knowledge has been shown to be lacking and when pushed you have failed to answer questions.

i can easily say "i read once in a report that there is a six foot 8 legged chicken in mongolia"  it doesn't make it true because i read it in a report mate and if i carried on saying it was right because its my source then i would look foolish

No, on the one hand you have unregistered or underhand arm's deals. On the other, you have registered arm's deals.

The first type of transfer is largely indeterminate, and immeasurable.

Of the second type, it is possible to ascertain a rough idea of who supplies more than others.

I have always maintained that illegal and underhand deals are indeterminate, they may or may not have happened.

The research is based on registered deals, as I'll repeat it again, it is virtually impossible to ascertain substantive information regarding any potential unregistered or underhand deals.
