If you look at the statistics of men receiving vasectomies they're usually 40+ and have children. Doctors will strongly discourage men that lack either of the criteria away from the vasectomy. 26 and you have a kid but don't want more kids or 45 and no kids? They'll try to convince you not to have the operation. As this procedure is reversible, it would provide a way for younger men to get a vasectomy-like procedure without permanently killing your ability to have children.
Or you could know your history and remember why the Korean war ended the way it did.
Ah right, you mean how MacArthur advanced further into North Korea than Truman authorized which prompted a Chinese counterattack turning what was a victory into a retreat that lead to the eventual borders between North and South Korea.
The person you responded to asked a question about license plates and not whether a vehicle should be licensed and this particular line of conversation is about the ability to travel anonymously. License plates make it far more difficult to travel anonymously thanks to the ubiquity of license plate scanners. Of all the points you brought up the number of which the license plate itself provides the only mechanism for enforcement would be things where the VIN cannot provide the same information or the VIN. The make, model, and color is sufficient probable cause for police officers to conduct a stop both in the case of amber alerts or stolen vehicles. The VIN can then be obtained and the vehicle can be verified if it is clean or not. Likewise, the license plate itself is not required to mark a vehicle as in compliance for emissions or whether it should be on the road. You simply need the visual identifier for the tags to indicate that the vehicle is properly licensed.
The only items you listed that are unique to the license plate and cannot be derived from the VIN are catching violators of automatic toll booths and drive-offs from businesses both of which are questionable if photographic evidence of the vehicle and driver are obtained, which if you can capture the license plate you are in a good position to capture an image of the vehicle and driver.

Going after primarily civilian targets like Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not the type of tactics the western world uses anymore to get enemies to surrender.
Hiroshima served as the headquarters for the 2nd Army which was responsible for defense of southern Japan. It was also a communications hub, storage point, and assembly points for troops. The harbor there was used to ship out troops with frequency. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima neutered the command structure for the 2nd Army as well as basically caused the Japanese to write off three divisions. Nagasaki's military importance was due to it having one of the largest ports as well has industrially providing a large variety war material.
Strategic bombing in WW2, which nuclear bombs would fall under, had evolved towards targeted industrial production or military targets but not every bomber commander held that view. Bomber Harris, in particular, had no issue with bombing residential areas while James Doolittle frequently protested against hitting residential targets.
There is also a severe misunderstand as to the reason why residential areas were targeted in carpet bombing in Japan. Japanese war production was not styled like Germany. There were numerous small shops littered throughout cities that were used for small arms production rather than large assembly line style factories as were favored by Germany. So while plane, tank, and truck factories could be bombed, a large portion of the production for the common soldier was not easily bombed.
I am bemused by my accidental mistake given the topic.
I imagine that what I meant to conclude with was that it contains a lot of insight into the execution of fortitude as well as interviews and comments from post-war high rank German commanders and captured intel that indicated how effective it was.
I read a book that was published based on the report on Operation Fortitude that was conducted after the war. People like to point out the visual deception but that was such a minor part of it that the Allies literally could have removed it all and achieved the same results. The reason the Allies could do that was the utter lack of German air surveillance, unexpected, and the fact that British intelligence had caught and/or turned every German agent within the UK, which they didn't know. They had a complex plan where they had real units, real units where they weren't, and imaginary units which was backed up by strict discipline on radio transmissions and these locations were the corroborating evidence to the intelligence that was provided to the Germans by double cross agents like GARBO, BRUTUS, and TRICYCLE. The discussion within the book regarding GARBO and all his sub-agents was particularly fascinating due to every sub-agent of GARBO being an entirely fictional person.
If you can get ahold of Fortitude: The D-Day Deception Campaign by Roger Hesketh it's a great read from a primary source. It can be on the dry side as the book itself was published mostly from his after-action report regarding the campaign but it is highly detailed and contains
Incorrect. You're confusing who selects the Senators with who the Senators represent. The 17th Amendment was introduced to eliminate two perceived flaws with the state legislature sending Senators, namely deadlock in the legislature (the worst offending case coming about when the Senate did not confirm a candidate sent that was selected from a plurality rather than majority of the legislator of the state) with the second flaw being the potential for legislators to "buy" the state's assembly to obtain his seat.
One of the arguments at the time was that the Amendment would diminish state's rights which was countered with the argument that the Amendment would only change the selection of the Senators and not their responsibilities. Meaning that Senators are still supposed to be represent the states. Whether or not you think that is how it is or how it should be is immaterial as that is the structural basis on which the Senate is based regardless of how the Senators are selected.
In fact the only active model is the B-52H. All B-52Hs came into service between May 9, 1961 and Oct 26, 1962. Any active B-52 is at least 53 years old.
Captain Kirk will be unable to captain the Enterprise. Her keel is to be lain in 2018 with construction finishing sometime between 2025 and 2027. Captain Kirk was commissioned in 1990 and according to navy attrition he will be transferred to the retired reserve in 2020 which if recalled to duty he wouldn't captain a carrier. His only way to avoid entering the retired reserve in 2020 is to become an admiral. As an admiral he won't be a captain of a ship.
That's the military spending problem people should be talking about. The R&D budget was actually quite reasonable for a whole new generation of ships, but we're unable to commit to anything, so it all ends up as pork with no military might.
The R&D costs were entirely reasonable for a new class of ship for one of the primary roles it was intended to serve. The problem is that primary role has been strategically obsolete for well over 40 years. The navy has known the role was obsolete but Congress is oblivious or ignoring what the navy is telling them. So what we get is a destroyer that is tasked to fill a relaxed role provided by a battleship. The navy undoubtedly tried to make it a suitable replacement for the Arleigh Burke but their recent order of three of the Arleigh Burke class while cutting back the order on Zumwalt class is indicative that they don't believe the ship is capable of filling the role that it was intended.
The three Zumwalts are going to go the same route as the Iowa-class ships.
This is a small-dicked admiral problem, investing in shiny, strategically obsolete ships.
They were strategically obsolete before they were designed. Fortunately the wise masters in Congress didn't agree and mandated that the navy have a ship that fills a strategically obsolete role.
The Zumwalt ship only exists because Congress mandated that the navy have a ship to provide fire support. It's the reason why the Iowa-class battleships were kept active as long as they were. The navy cut the order on Zumwalt ships and ordered some more of the "discontinued" Arleigh Burke ships. They'll probably come up with another destroyer replacement as the Arleigh Burke design is 35 years old but I doubt it will be the Zumwalt.

I'm pretty sure Disney is going to go full corporate on it and not allow anything creative and awesome like this to see the screen.
They already did. Saw Ep7 this weekend and I felt like I was just seeing a reimaging of Ep4.
The parallels are excessive. Very little about the movie felt like I was watching a new Star Wars film.

Now realize that you made that spelling mistake twice in that post.
China doesn't have any border with a country that approaches 4,000 miles. The longest is 2,906 miles with Mongolia.

Really, california (and texas.. and new york) should be broken up into smaller states.
Their population's representation in the Senate and house are grossly smaller than those from many other states.
The Senate is not there to represent the people. Perhaps you should sue your high school for giving you a piss poor civics education.
