  1. Re:Comedy Theater trying to save face.... on North Korea Kills Phone Line, 1953 Armistice; Kim Jong Un's Funds Found In China · · Score: 2

    The other side of the story is that if NK ever does invade SK, everyone will say they saw this coming. The signs were all there. They've been warning everyone for years, and no one listened. The pressure built up until it couldn't be contained anymore. There is a real possibility that they'll invade and/or attack the US. The fact that they haven't done so far doesn't mean they won't ever.

    Believing everything the govt says is not necessary for a populace to fight a foreign invader. They are deeply proud of their nation, deeply xenophobic, and see the US as the aggressor.

    U.S. or any number of other countries could smash them flat in no time at all

    That's just not true. They have a huge military and a fanatic populace. There would be no massive surrender of troops like in Iraq. Every exercise I've seen for NK involved magicking away several corps and divisions from naval gunfire or some crap to make the scenario plausible. (I am an intelligence analyst)

  7. Re:Ron Wyden on Rand Paul Launches a Filibuster Against Drone Strikes On US Soil · · Score: 1

    How is that different then: that no American should be killed by a police officer on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.

    It's not any different. Police aren't allowed to kill people unless in self defense or defense of others. They can get warrants, arrest, and bring to jail. The courts handle the rest. If Obama suddenly said that police can kill people suspected of a crime, we should be every bit as upset as using drones to do the same thing.

    a good many in that culture genuinely believe that the censorship performed is not only necessary, but beneficial to their society.

    It really is a shame that the citizens of a country should approve of their govt. If only we only we cold liberate them and make them a democracy. Freedom is the only way!

    Human interaction can be invigorating, and psychologically refreshing. To each their own, I suppose.

    Right. Some people are extroverts, some are introverts. And that goes for the people checking in, and the receptionists. And plenty of people are already maxed out with the number of people they are dealing with.

  20. Air conditioning only makes the problem worse. It may make your room cooler, by adding heat outside. In cities, when everyone runs the AC, the heat goes up and everyone cranks up the AC. Meanwhile, the additional strain on the power grid means more coal is burned and more heat generated. And not to mention all those people who have to *gasp* WORK OUTSIDE!
