"Yes, but Israel deserves a much higher level of trust than Iran. Even in the 1973 war, when Israel was facing defeat - and a defeat would have meant, literally, annihilation - Israel did not use its nukes (and it almost certainly had them by then)."

They almost did. It's a long standing and well known fact that if Israel is about to be defeated they will launch all their nukes at those attacking them.

After their review of Darkfall Online, which also happened to be the first time I heard of them, I'll never read or give a shit about a review by them. The chief editor for Eurogamer sided with the reviewer when called out by not only Tasos, lead 'PR' person for Darkfall who claimed to have server logs showing the guy hadn't even played the game, but hundreds of eurogamer readers and even more Darkfall players who almost unanimously agreed it was impossible for the guy to have played the game and still write the review he did as nearly none of it was based in any fact.

What about the fact that he was using an indonesian passport in the 80's to travel to countries in that region of the world which meant he revoked his US citizenship, and has never retaken the oath of citizenship or whatever it is that's required to regain your citizenship?

Tieing health insurance to employment was a monumental fuckup, everyone knows that.

I'm a carpenter, work 6-230 mon-fri, and I sleep 3-4 hours a night tops and have no problems with fatigue until around 10 or 11pm.

Sarcasm or not, a lot of people honestly are that retarded.

The job of the police is only to enforce the law after it has been broken, see Warren v DC. Also, since that site will probably make you cry: Try this one.

We didn't even want? What dream world are you living in? Yea bush lied, but everyone knew that from teh getgo unless they were a fucking retard, but the majority of the US population wanted to go after Saddam prior to the war. It was only after the war started that the numbers started dropping.

The waste only lasts for ~2-6 years, 10 tops, with a Fast Breeder Reactor. Oh, and they burn 90% of their waste to begin with.

One time bailout that I was 100% against is different than a government handout program that has helped drive prices up for everyone who isn't leeching off the government and is going to bankrupt the country in the next decade or so guaranteed.

How can a company provide a better value than the government when the government doesn't have to look at the accounting department and ask how much money they have left, what their revenue stream looks like, etc?

Good outcome? You mean like medicare/medicaid which are GOING TO bankrupt this country already? The same programs that have driven health care costs up due to their nature of only paying 10% of the posted price for operations/procedures so that hospitals and the like have had to jack prices up to be able to get even a slight return on procedures they perform?

What the fuck are you talking about 'war weapon' ? Anyone who can get a gun permit can own just about any gun up to and including .50caliber sniper rifles (my friend owns the barret .50 sniper (5000$) + a scope on it that cost him around 1000$)

The prospect of war between the Soviet Union and US during the cold war had the certainty of being the worst war ever, the real war to end all wars as no life would survive it on this planet, and that is what kept it from ever happening.

Boo, Fuckity, Hoo. War is SUPPOSED to be inhumane, SUPPOSED to be degrading, SUPPOSED to be horrible.

It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.

US-Confederate general (1807 - 1870)


All the people crying OMG WE HAVE INTERNATIONAL LAWS AGAINST DOING THIS AND THIS AND THIS are the kind of people who don't understand this fact. The more horrible war is, the less likely it will happen. The population of the west today just doesn't get that war is ugly, they've pacified themselves culturally to believe that war is NOT the ugly horrible thing it always was, and always will be, and seem to think that OMG A CIVILIAN DIED THIS IS AN OUTRAGEEEEEEEEEEEE is how you should respond to finding out 20 enemy fighters died...but 1 civilian did as well cause the enemy was hiding in a family's house. I don't really care that I'll get modded as flamebait/troll because this is the fact of life in western society. They've been pussified since WW2 and can't handle a real war. God forbid the chinese or russians ever decide to have a real war with another country, the citizenry of the west will collectively shit their pants and break down into tears at the 'atrocities' they'll hear about that happen in what a real war should/does look like.
