The idea of making the Japanese and Germans build industry before homes, certainly gave them an advantage. We kept our old stuff, they got new, and the UK got screwed. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I just agree with the author that giving up nukes would just invite our destruction. Would you be more at peace if we were the first to give up nukes? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

What exceptions do you mean? I don't think there are any examples of direct conflict between nuclear powers. But a lot of really bad proxy wars (Vietnam, Afghanistan/USSR for example) that weren't all that limited. You are correct, and maybe I was a little too vague. Outside the major powers, nukes never stopped the genocides like Cambodia and Rwanda. Sadly, there were more. EDITED TO ADD: According to the author, after the introduction of nukes, the massive killings have gone way down; nothing like prior or during WWII. Look at the numbers.

With exceptions, nukes have kept the peace by forcing major powers to get along. .."if nukes are outlawed someday, only outlaws will have nukes". I don't see them disappearing anytime soon. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1929553,00.html Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Great, what a country; business before people......and they call us fascist. That's why the gov option, when business gets so corrupt that they disallow infants, or hell, adults for that matter, they need to have a competitor that keeps them in line. Exactly, parents can't afford preventative care or are otherwise disallowed, so we wait until he convulses and theeeeeen take him to the ER so they can try to revive him and theeeeeen pursue the parents until they BK and continue the idiocy over and over again. That's teh main dispute with HC, thanks for pointing it out. Under Ghia BHO's plan, fat babies found in the hopper would be aborted immediately to save these trips to the ER. It's called preventative maintenance. Insurance companies are exempt from anti-trust laws. They discuss patients among themselves, set prices, and stop people from shopping across statelines. Trouble is, Max Baucus, Democrat from Montana , is in their hip pockets. Imagine that, the chief architect is a liberal social democrat. Lucky, you're lucky to have this guy in your pocket.

I think that if you have to resort to dismissing the Nobel committee as a bunch of pinkos like this is 1955, you've already lost the argument. There are plenty of worthwhile points to be discussed. The arcane "Commie" angle isn't among them. You're the one using the term "commie". Apparently, they are typical European socialists as indicated.

Ah, fox "news". Real credible, unbiased source. Yeah, you've persuaded us. Fucking commies. "Fair and balanced" FOX would be the only network to push a story like this, but to be honest, do you think the Nobel Prize Committee would be made up any different?

Have the aircraft inspected by an A and P mechanic.

Hi tk, The "last sentence" in your post says it all!! When it happens, we'll all have to live with it....or is it "die with it??" Haven't you heard. Fat babies grow up to be sick adults. They are a risk to the healthcare systems proposed by both parties: Demos would put them to sleep. GOPers would side with the insurance companies and let em get so big they bust.

Why would he want to invent the interstate when he has big old jetliners at his disposal? He might be an investor in heavy jet ruway construction companies though.

I don't know if I can help, but I once saw the expression: "fighting for freedom is like fucking for virginity", written on the wall of a latrine in Vietnam (long time can't remember date or which tour). Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Glad you are OK, and lucky no fire? I had to sell my Harley and a couple of other things to finish my house. Now I'm not so sure of getting another bike because the 4 legged animals on the highway here. Lots of fatal accidents. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

A large chunk of the military never sees battle. A large chunk of the military sits behind a desk for their entire careers. Should I pay for their health care as well?

Misleading or not, shouldn't the American people be able to view new bills online before they are voted on? This would give us closer scrutiny of BOTH parties. It would certainly effect the GOP when its their turn in the barrel. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Hayes, if you feel this strong about your convictions, you should post a sign at your dropzone in Z Hills stating: No Military Pukes allowed. Dare ya. PS don't leave out the Christians. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Too many. Plenty of people might actually see what's going on. Personally, I'd like to see some bill tracking information, too. Those that show what additionas are made to the bills, by whom, etc. Since that would mean accountability then Congress doesn't want it. I agree. All of a sudden, people are taking an active interest (digging out old civics books). Must have something to do with money or even their health. Accountability? The house and senate, not unlike the old communist party, is on the eve of new scrutiny. Gee look; some of their stuff is gonna be on tv.

My congresscritter is in their hip pocket right now, and a lot of us are unhappy with him. Thankfully, he know it. After all, he's the chief architect. You bet. The lives of a lot of people would be affected, but this is for the good of the country; it involves all of us. If we are waiting for the insurance industry to clean itself up, it won't happen (all those extra assets are keeping them alive on Capital Hill). On the other hand, waiting for Santa Claus, might hasten their demise. If BHO were smart he would "attempt" to stop exclusions from the anti-trust laws, and open up business across state lines for a start. Then would see just how bad the insurance industry want to stay in business. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

The major obstacle to a plan like this would be the insurance companies. Up until last night, I had no idea the insurance companies (and major league baseball) are exempt from federal anti-trust laws. Now we know why citizens cannot shop across state lines for cheaper insurance and the insurance companies share data about customers, fix prices, and so on (Mc Carran-Ferguson Act 1945). It will be more than a battle, it will be a little war to fight politicians who are in their hip pockets. This won't happen overnight, but the signs are there. People want change, and this is a good start. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Yes, and it was wrong then too. Wonder how many would bother looking at a new bill. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

How about a little ole 20 gauge with an assortment of shot sizes? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I agree. One advantage of the 9 over the .45 could be the potential for faster and more accurate follow up shots. Given that a handgun is basically stopping people based on shot placement (not caliber), it makes sense to use the most controllable handgun, with the largest magazine, to maximize the chance of getting a well placed shot. 9mm in a full size pistol fits the bill nicely, for that. Which is also a good rationale for using 9mm handguns for back-line troops and .45 for the more highly trained SOCOM types, which is more or less what the US military is doing now. I always get confused when people cite the FBI study to show that "bigger holes is better," because when I read it what I get is "shot placement is the paramount consideration--everything else is secondary." For personal defense with a handgun, then the real answer would be "use what you shoot well." I have read stories of troops issued the M1 Carbine, exchanging them for the M1 Garand. It was all about stopping power with minimum shooting. They did not have the time for follow up shots as they were fighting mass attacks in the Pacific or in Korea. The 9mil is a cute little weapon if you have all the time for follow up shots and your opponent isn't wearing a heavy trench coat.
