Re: You Feminists still think like this?
I'm upset at the extreme drop in standards introduced by the forces of the Internet on editing and journalism. They dont even use spell check. Filled with grammatical errors. I'm upset that a mainstream publication would publish this trash. It's not even op Ed. It's sold as fact. Farley et al and t...

Re: Should mankind survive?
I ran across this Stephen Hawking bit: Stephen Hawking: I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space. It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million. The human race shouldn't have all its egg...

For those still believing in 911 conspiracies
Last week a fire in a radiotower in the Netherlands caused it to collapse. A short film of it can be found on the internet when you look for 'radio tower collapse hoogersmilde' Interesting thing is that the tower initially collapsed in much the same way the twin towers did. Once the fire weakend the...

Re: Military Expenditures
The point is that much of those billions the USA spent on foreign wars the last decades eventually find their way back into the American economy. It may take a while but the long term cost of all those wars is not nearly as bad as the short term financial pictures suggests. Yes, it's worse. The cos...

Re: Military Expenditures
I don't think Europe isn't doing enough, I just think the US is doing way, way too much. Eisenhower was right. We have to keep feeding the machine so no one loses their job. Even some Republicans are getting on the anti-war bandwagon but it's only because the Pres. isn't a Republican, so it's cool ...

Re: Military Expenditures
Imagine how much your country would spend if they invested in their own technology for fighter aircraft (Not to mention other Military technology). I guarantee your 1/4 budget on purchasing American Planes wouldn't cover the cost. Neither would the technology you would be able to scrape together to...

Re: Military Expenditures
Now, today, right this second, we so need to cut the bloat if we don't want to go the way of Greece. Cut in every department. All of it, including most of the troops we still have stationed in South Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan. We got Osama, let's wind down most of our mobilization. Cut, cut, cut. If ...

Re: Military Expenditures
{Edit: Eri said the Europeans don't really want us there, because we do tend to act like alpha dogs, so we can also remove all US military presence from the European theatre. We can keep military R&D running so we are not surprised by some new upcoming BRIC (Brazilan, Russian, Indian or Chinese...

Re: Military Expenditures
Percentage wise rich people are paying less in taxes than the people mopping the floors of their businesses. That's a paraphrased quote from Warren Buffet, who thinks rich people should be taxed more they presently are. To clarify, that is percentage of disposable income, the money that remains aft...
