  1. Re:TL;DR: on Stuxnet Allegedly Loaded By Iranian Double Agents · · Score: 1

    I don't doubt that Israel has killed a lot of people involved in the Iranian Nuclear Program. Nations generally operate from an "The end justifies the means" kind of position. They'll need to kill many, many thousands more to catch up to what Iran's rulers are doing to her own people though. If you wonder what I'm talking about just wander over to Amnesty Internationals page. Israel has had the bomb for a few decades now and has used it primarily as a deterrent to invasion. I doubt that Iran with a nuclear arsenal will be that limited. I sincerely hope that if Iran does develop the bomb that both China and Russia will reap what they've sown.

    Almost all their neighbors are against Iran having nukes. That was part of the fallout from the State Department emails leaked to wikileaks. A lot of the traffic was Iran's neighbors asking the US to please do something before that crazy fucker running Iran got the Bomb. I remember how when Israel converted Iraq's reactors to smoking holes in the ground their was some griping in the Media from Arabs but mostly they all just looked the other way. In fact I'm sure the countries they overflew on the strike were informed ahead of time. No one wants a nutjob living next to them to have Nukes cause even if he doesn't blow you up he's bound to try it on someone and the backlash is sure to cause fallout.

    I know sometimes it happens to people who really were just stupid but I've seen too many people I knew were assholes crying about having to take care of their kid monetarily. The reason child care laws came into place to begin with was that so many children were born to guys who went around fucking like dogs in the street and then left when the kid popped out. Most of the guys I know who are in this situation, not all but most, fit that category. Their dick runs their life. In most cases it got them into a marriage and then got them out of it as well. I'd say in over 80 percent, 4 of 5 cases. If you take the time to get to know someone BEFORE you climb in the sack with them you'll be better off. I'm not talking a few months either. Some people get lucky with love at first sight but it's rare. Best to spend a couple of years getting to know someone before moving to sex. If you don't love her enough to marry her then don't fuck her. Once the sex starts the objectivity is out the window. But hey, I don't really care what y'all do, I'm up for my 32nd anniversary with my woman and we're closer than ever. In fact once I finally got the kids outa the house it became better than ever.

    No man, that's duty. Freedom is being free to make mistakes and do wrong. Being able to ignore one's duty. Freedom often isn't pretty. The problem in the US is that we've given people choices and now we've freed them from the consequences of their choices. Some people save money their entire lives so they can be secure and others partied it up like no tomorrow. In the old days they'd have suffered for their foolishness but now we take from those rich son's of bitches and give that money to those poor old fuckers who don't have anything. With people immune to the consequences of their bad choices it's no wonder things have gotten so screwed up.

    So what is the problem? I see women on TV bitching all the time about having to pay for birth control? Personally I think it'd be smart for the States to hand it out along with the welfare checks. But then they aren't too big on smart. I think any woman who doesn't want to have a baby should be given free birth control. I'm mostly a libertarian but there are exceptions and this is a big one. People who don't want kids shouldn't have them! When they do it's mostly a bad thing. On some the instinct thing kicks in but for far too many it's a bad, bad thing.

    I also fail to understand why Insurance refuses to pay for birth control. Frankly it's much cheaper to pay for birth control than an actual birth not to mention that under a family plan they then have to pay for all those baby doctor visits down the road. It doesn't add up to me at all.

    I think the left tend to sympathize with the Islamist because they are the only other group that hate Christians as much as they do. Actually that's inaccurate, the majority of Muslims want to live and let live as much as anyone but there are so many extremists that are so full of hate and they have so much in common with the Hollywood left as far as hatred of Christians. It's funny to me because both sides, absent their common enemy, would despise each other totally.

    The problem with security in the USA is that idiots are in charge of it. There are far, far, far, more laws enabling agencies like TSA to trample on people's rights than would ever be needed. The fact is that the 9/11 hijackings were allowed by incompetence. The clues of what was going to happen were there but no one who noticed them could get their bosses to see it. Instead of rolling heads and firing a few hundred people for flagrant incompetence and just plain sorriness they covered it all up with bullshit about how their hands were tied by people's freedom. "Just give us the authority we need and we can keep you safe," they say but it is still the same stupid cocksuckers in charge. You can give them all the power of the Soviet Secret Police of the old cold war era and they'd still fuck it up because they aren't competent at the top and if any of their underlings try to fix things they fire them.

    Ron Paul wants to take away their play pretties and pay the bills instead of pissing Trillions away. The left wants to piss it away on people who are "disadvantaged" and the right wants to piss it away on wars. I saw Ron Paul in one debate get booed because he said we couldn't afford to continue being the world's policeman even though it should be obvious to anyone that can do arithmetic. I'm thoroughly convinced that both the democrats and republicans are seriously math challenged.

    Almost all PickUp owners I know with Diesels bought them for towing heavy loads. Most people with small trucks use them for commuting to work. Why? I don't know. If I want to commute I drive a car. I have an old 77 GMC 4X4 that gets just over 12 miles to the gallon but it serves it's purpose perfectly and it's paid for. I only drive 300 to 500 miles a year in it so I'd never recoup costs for a newer diesel with fuel savings plus it's a real truck with massive DANA axles and built to be beat on unlike the shiny country Cadillacs.
