Comment Re:Might want to tighten the bolts on those sabers (Score -1) 199

US warships really shouldn't be anywhere near China, let alone on that side of the world. What do you think the US would do if China had missile boats patrolling off the coast of Florida in "international waters" or if they were coordinating military exercises with Russia of the coast of LA, as we do with their rival, Japan, off of their coast.

Not at all surprising that they would view us as the aggressor.

Comment Re:TI calculators are not outdated, just overprice (Score 2) 359

My calculus teachers didn't allow us to use calculators when I was in college. I felt like I understood the math better this way. He picked problems that were not hard to do without calculators. Unless the goal is to teach kids to use the calculators themselves, why are they needed?

Comment let ISIS do their thing (Score 1) 448

The USA should let ISIS do their thing. They have not attacked the US. They are only threatening us now because we are attacking them without provocation. Their recent killing of two USA citizens who were caught in Syria were only done try to get the US to stop bombing them...not out of a desire to start a war with the US.

Let regional countries tackle them if they are scared. They are plenty capable of doing so. They just don't think they need to because they think the USA will take care of it. In the end they are the ones threatened by ISIS.

The rebels will just install tin foil hats on all their tanks!

But seriously, it could serve to push up their timeline and violence, as they tell their followers, "look guys, we have 6 months to inflict maximum damage and exhaust all of our ammunition, get going with the destruction guys", which could limit negotiation and alter their ability to wait out their demands.
