nobodies laughing, we just realize that once they fire on a carrier.. well... there's no "oops.. we didn't mean to do that, now listen to us..." to it. If America really wanted to, they could fight the war entirely airborne & remote. No occupation, naval or ground forces, necessary.
The USA has not performed one military action towards Iran. It's not acting batshit crazy, or wiping anyone off the face of the Earth. Basically how I see it is that activities were going on in the strait the same as before, but Iran is fluffing it's tail feathers. It's perfectly natural for that to happen for those smaller nations who want to be almighty and powerful. America simply moved naval forces into the area for self-defense. You can say different once the carrier or any of the other crafts do anything that isn't provoked.
You say that last sentence as if it's a bad thing. I expect by the time I retire or die that technology will be to the point that I can tell the computer in the car the address to my doctors office, and it will drive me there. Not a far stretch, with the advancements we've made and will be making. Just in 10 years, we've increased immensely in tracking along with mobile computing technologies. I wasn't expecting electric vehicle tech to be so mainstream until 2020 or so, and you see where we are with that.
No encouragement is necessary with that. Whether or not this is put into implementation, it occurs readily. It's not like someone is going to be like "oh gee, I can just take my hands off the wheel as the car bounces like a ping pong ball in my lane.".
I like the fact that my car doesn't need that extra weight or complexity because I have protection mechanisms thorughout the vehicle. I'm not even going to think about using the coffin metaphor.
You speak like an uneducated individual who fails to realize that each vehicle is tested for it's collision breakdown, etc. This includes American vehicles... you know, the ones from Mexico. You should check out the ratings LOL
I'm sorry, i was deafened by your ignorance towards reality. I'll ignore your first paragraph since it just seemed like some kind of attempted patriotism or something. The others are just in-your-face wrong. Japanese cars DID overtake american "large car" production, considering there's little to no large cars sold in todays market outside of midsize sedans in the $50K+ range such as Infinity, Lexus, BMW, etc. The rest just seems like you're attempting to simplify everything into country status when everything is company-based. The sad thing is, Korean cars are better in quality than the American cars of the same variety:(
... and they all believe a Prius is somehow sluggish and needs to be driven around. I'm in Phoenix too, and all the time people are attempting to accelerate around me as I'm doing 10 mph over the speed limit in the middle lane. I say try since a Prius isn't a sluggish vehicle by any stretch of the imagination...

The second amendment is there but so many laws dilute it to the point you can only own non-military weaponry essentially.
Yes, I consider an semi-auto AK/47 non-military.
You're not watching the news, I take it.
Amen. Any "person" with the power of a multitude of people is obviously too powerful to be considered a person.
Are we going on about Ron Paul?
You know, big boys were having big boy conversation until you came in saying that.

Is that what Canada uses for their currency?

Quiet, Cletus.
randomness would be a deterrent as well.
If you would have typed that 10 years ago, you would have been laughed out of the room as your typing it.
This is a sad day for the tech industry...
you dont have to say something in order to imply it.
Ask mommy what that means.
It's okay, we'll just omit Maine then.

Both Ford & GM are zombies right now. I'd consider Tesla more of an American company.
Infiniti (with an i) is owned by Nissan. These technologies can easily traverse between an entire companies product base.

Getting rammed from behind would wake up anyone...
Apparently, posting on slashdot is getting pretty low as well.
you do get it now, right?
