    They call that company the US Military, and require them to do all manner of menial mindnumbing tasks in exchange for a chance at a pension and a security clearance. Look into it.

    Well, if we'd start teaching failure at a young age, then people would stop believing they are entitled to a piece of paper that means nothing, and would accept that having a piece of paper or spending 16 years in a classroom doesn't entitle them to anything.

    If you were intelligent, competent, and motivated, you'd be a manager at that McDonalds for ~$50k a year.

    I've got some CF bulbs that have moved at least twice with me that date back to 2001, and I've had some nasty power, so I'm not sure why the GP is losing bulbs.

    I agree, that it is unfortunate that naked force is sometimes the only or best solution to disagreements between individuals or nation states, Remember that the same government that correctly aceded to the resonable requests of Ghandi, incorrectly acknowledged(albiet temporarily) the right of Hitler to protect his borders.

    I do not agree that OWG is the solution, but I do respect your ability to reason from the facts and come to an accurate assesment of the current state of affairs between powerful nations.

    I wish that it were possible to more frequently resolve disagreements at the bargaining table than on the battlefield, but I believe that we will come to a solution to "over-population" that does not involve death but instead expansion "to the stars".

    Halle berry has the right skin tone, although I'm not sure she's up for the action. Angelina Jolie would be good if not for being too recognizable.

    Further, the phrase international humanitarian law is purely nonsense because international law only extends so far as nation states sign treaties between themselves.

    Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something. Autocracy is based on the assumption that one man is wiser than a million men. Let's play that over again, too. Who decides?

    On the exact other direction, in MANY jurisdictions in the US, someone is "legally" attacking you as long as they are inside your residence, fleeing or not, unless they are restrained or detained, they can legally be acted against.
