Comment Self Driving Cars are a danger to anyone important (Score 2) 446

It's one thing to risk your computer or phone being hacked and all your data/comms getting stolen. But with a self driving car, you're putting your life at risk if you're an important person, such as a political leader, CEO, etc. And it's not just the vehicle you're in you have to worry about, you have to worry about all the other vehicles around you being compromised. Too much risk as far as I'm concerned.

1. Hitler didn't come to power because of WWI, he came to power because he promised German socialism at a time when socialism was sweeping across Europe.
2. The US was actually winning the war in Vietnam when the Tet offensive occurred. It was desperate offensive by the Viet Cong. It failed in all of it's objectives, they suffered heavy casualties, and actually left the Viet Cong in a very bad position. But the optics of the Viet Cong offensive triggered a wave of negative sentiment at home, and ultimately led for the push to withdraw the US forces from Vietnam.
3. Iraq in 2008 and 2009 had less violent deaths than the US. But Obama's quick pull-out of the troops allowed the insurgents to reestablish themselves in Northern Iraq.

It's easy to say "the world needs to just agree to stop fighting", but when one side in a disagreement is ready and willing to fight and kill, what other choice is there?

According to Netanyahu, as well as the 100K documents Mossad stole from a secure facility in Iran, they WERE developing nuclear weapons. In fact, the documents show the Iranian Fordow nuclear plant was specifically designed to facilitate the development of nuclear weapons. Where are you getting your information from, the Iranian foreign minister?

You THINK free trade has been great for America. But free trade with China has only been free in one direction. It SEEMED to be working, but in reality, the US has been racking up the debts nationally, regionally, and personally. If not for debt spending, the US economy would be stagnant or shrinking.
