not really familiar with word choice in diplomacy and international relations, are you?

i think it is safe to say that Google Glass won't be allowed in any casino past the front doors

appeal to authority is the best you got?

"guy in US administration said so, so it must be true."

are we talking about the same administration that lied to the world into conflict with iraq?

you should be a politician: with a straight face, call insane behavior sane, then deny deny deny your way to accommodation

dear fuckwit: there is no better definition of insanity than the behavior of north korea. their actions are an absurd outlier on the world stage

>They have one significant belief that differs with most of the rest of the world.

that's called insanity you fuckwit!

right, exactly. you keep making my argument for insanity

i'm not entirely sure why you think these quotes do anything BUT demonstrate their insanity

we aren't dealing with a shut-in in his mom's basement. we are dealing with what is supposed to be the government of an entire country. there is not even remotely another country in the world that is pledged to such military provocations while it's people can't even get enough food to eat, and plenty other countries were forged in much worse conditions and exist in much more dangerous parts of the world

i do not understand why you labor so hard to describe something that walks like a duck, talks like a duck, yet you insist is somehow not a duck

their game is to provoke, shovel rhetoric, even attack, right up until the very point of open hostilities. their game is to create animosity just shy of action

you do understand how dangerous a game that is, right?

presenting the opinion of anyone on BUSH's foreign policy team as intelligence is pretty much a loser's game, don't you think?

i stopped reading there

you're not doing a good job of convincing people of sanity when you start with a premise that is obviously insane

the korean war ended 60 years ago. no one wants to fight this battle again. except one regime, the insane thugocracy of north korea

why is it so important to you to find sanity in the motivations of a regime that forces its people to eat leaves in order to devote more resources to build nuclear weapons?

your very premise for establishing their sanity is a point of insanity, you moron

that starts with the premise that north korea will only do things that are rational and make sense, and never anything stupid, is a losing argument

citation: the behavior so far of north korea

it's rather weird that anyone is depending upon rationality, common sense and intelligence, in attempting to understand the behavior of north korea

of course they can't win. but they can do a lot of damage on their way out, and this is the problem. to not understand this is to not understand that control is not absolute, and behavior is not perfectly rational. in any country, nevermind the likes of basket case north korea

a child with nuclear weapons throwing a tantrum is

they are dangerous. and so people are interested, and for good reason, so the press covers them

anyone who doesn't understand that is buried in ignorant false complacency

One of my clients had a Netware 3.12 machine on site that operated continuously about about 16 years. It was retired unceremoniously when they moved to a new location, but that machine did not in all its life have a hardware fault or abend.

i think that the solution to this is to go much more proactively against stalkers

you can demonstrate and factually prove a pattern of transgressive behavior. as a matter of evidence, this allows police, courts, and correctional forces to become involved according to how the laws surrounding this behavior are defined

1. it is not right for you to change your life.
2. it is not right for society to change its rules, for all of us to suffer, because of stalkers.
3. and it is not right to tolerate the stalker

therefore, the only remaining option is to perhaps jail the stalker, fine the stalker. in some way punish the stalker severely for the behavior

i think that current stalking laws are too weak. they need to made harsher. but the punishments must be designed carefully, in such a way to reduce the behavior without fostering further psychological attachment issues. it doesn't sound easy. i can't think of an easy fix

it's a difficult subject. but it needs to be taken a lot more seriously

such as places to go, like bars, that ban such surveillance, as an attractive feature

they just yank the glasses off first, then ground them into the dirt with their boot

nothing changes

what a moron
