Boehner screamed 'shut it down'

The few remaining real republicans said, lets compromise and create a deal.
We came in late, but provided large support prior to our being brought in (including sending massive supplies to you and guarding them ourselves; we also sent in large amount of private fighters).
But, your statement reminds me of a saying: 'Once a liar, always a liar'.
Here is a clue Jonaw. When we told Germany and Sweden about multiple terrorists threats, how do you think that we got it? ALL of the European govs. know. Every last one knows. They also know that they did not have the capability to do this (or want to devote the money to it either).
Now, you may not like hearing this, but your gov, as well as the rest, spy on each others. The FVEY (5 eye) esp. spy on each other. We know it. Why do we allow it? Because the group that does for each of the nations, are APOLITICAL. NSA is VERY apolitical. Now, if I were to find out that the FBI, ran by the DOJ, was doing this, I would be terrified. And I would say, that you should be too.
However, I know that each of the agencies involved are normally above this BS. Of course, the recent BS is shocking not because of the spying outside of the nation, but the abuse by individuals.
First off, I do not agree with my nation pushing the BS copyright laws. We, and others, are making a total mess of things.
Secondly, the Chinese gov. will try you and then shoot you for selling Chinese copyrighted items in China. What they do not care about is when OTHER's copyrighted material is sold. Just like they allow bath salts and other illegal drugs to be exported from China, they will execute you (i.e. shoot you), if you are caught selling it there.
You would be surprised how many people have access to proprietary or classified information.
The numbers are so high, and there is so much of it I've reached the conclusion that the only rational explanation is that it's an attempt at obfuscation.
Heck, snowden should be proof enough about what you say.
Yes, but CHina's gov, DOES care. Seriously, they do. They want access to any and all information that they can. The difference between how China and US operates, is that we will grab EVERYTHING that we can about foreigners that we suspect that terrorists. Interestingly now, we also check laptops from visitors, but I am not sure what that is about. And the amount of data about Americans is far more limited than you realize. However, if is it in public domain (i.e. unecrypted emails; web pages; postings like these), then it will be considered fair game. Personally, I am fine with that
China grabs everything that they can. From foreigners, residence, EVERYBODY. Their computer systems are much larger that ours. And yes, as they crack into systems, they steal what they can and leave backdoors for later.
LOL. First, America does not have an exit tax. They DO enforce the capital gains tax IF you renounce your US citizenship (IOW, if you are closing your account, then we want to finalize what you owe: Makes sense to me). Beyond that, it is straight up taxes.
BTW, China DOES charge an exit tax.
Imagine if the German's had found out that we knew their encryption codes during WWII? Or how about during the Cold war when we had codes of theirs (and I would not be surprised if they had codes of ours)? It is possible without knowing what the other gov was up to, that the cuban missile crisis or other times, might have turned out VERY different.
The 'owner' of Huawei is a top person within the communist party. He was a long time officer with their military. For CHINESE employees only, he gives them ownership. No others.
And you think that it is NOT laden with backdoors? Really?
telling the truth about USA? Give me a break. I wish that I had NOT posted on this and instead had used my mod points on this story. I would have modded him down further. He is a PURE troll.
oh, one last thing. If the Chinese gov is so wonderful for downloads, then you should go ahead and copy Chinese made movies to DVD and try selling them in China. I am sure that you will have a BLAST with your last vision.
wow. Just wow.
You HAVE to live in either America or Europe. You obviously have no knowledge about Asia.
Why do you think that vietnam is cuddlying up with USA these days? Why do you think that EVERY ASIAN NATION except China, North Korea, and sometimes Russia wants USA in on meetings for those areas?
What do they know that an ignorant person like you does not know?
Perhaps they know that China has invaded ALL of asia over and over. Perhaps they know that China threatens just about all of them NOW, and says that they want control of areas that was not theirs in a minimum of 100 years and in some cases, over a 1000.
Perhaps they are watching China put DIVERSIONARY dams on the headwaters that go to south east asia, as well as lower asia (i.e. India).
Perhaps it is the economic warfare that is being conducted while they manipulate their money against the other nations.
Sadly, I suspect that at least 1/2 of it is true for ALL nations. Heck, supposedly Palin and Bachman were playing the field with male lobbyists, which is prostitution in the best sense of the word. And that would indicate that it is true for both sexes, as well.
And with CONgress being what it is, I suspect that if you approach the right type of congressmen (vitter, Duke Cunningham, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Spitzer, Springer, Tom Evans, Newt Gingrich, etc), you can use hookers to get out of paying taxes.
If you think that you are a slave, then by all means. Fight it. However, I think that few Americans will see themselves as slaves, except to the idiots that are running CONgress. Not the gov, but CONgress. Right there, is our problem. I know that my representative, Mark Coffman (R), takes a ton of money from a company that is 100% owned by the Chinese gov. Who does he listen to? Not us lowly voters. He listens to what the communist in China tells him to.
But, please, go ahead. Do not pay your taxes. Tell it to the judge. I think that you will help us all out. Heck, I have no issue paying for your keeping for the next 20 years. That will free up our society to move forward.
Here is why this will never work.
You will notice that EU was historically burning about double the coal that North America did. Fact is, that has been the case for the last 100 years. BUT, Europe dropped their rate down to a bit below north America's. In the mean time, Asia's is growing faster than what others can cut. Until the world accept that ALL NATIONS must lower their amount, little will change. This idea that China can output more CO2 than the entire west combined and that Asia accounts for about 60% of coal usage, and within another 3 years, China will account for more than 50% of all of the CO2 emissions, shows that we can not win this. Esp. when you have ppl like this that points to the per capitia output of the west, while ignoring the total emission issue.
If you think that the 3rd world is raising their GDP WITHOUT coal power, then you are an idiot.
China installs 2 new coal plant EACH WEEK. India installs a new one every week or 2. EACH of Brazil and South Africa are still building more coal plants each year, than what the entire west can stop.
Actually, Solar has a decent modal. Basically, create a system that encourages others to lower the costs on a home and then taking the savings for X years. That way, for those that can not afford to add the insulation, others will do it just for the savings.
Seriously, is this based on taking the actual emissions from the local area and then dividing it by the person, OR is this based on 'educated' guess work, or is prorating from other areas based on what somebody claims?
The reason is that we continue to look at this idea of emissions tied to per capita. It is NOT about a person's output. It is about an economies output. If society had ANY smarts, they would focus on the emissions / $ of GDP.
The problem is, that the worse nations, such as China, will NOT make any cuts. The right way to solve this, is to have large importers, such as America, put on a tax on ALL GOODS (local and imported) based on the emissions from where the final assembly AND THE PARTS come from. It should be assessed based on REAL co2 emissions / real GDP (not PPP GDP). The real CO2 emissions can be seen via sat, such as OCO2 which will be launched next year. It can measure the Co2 ENTERING into an area and exiting. So, CO2 (out) - CO2(in) via sats would be the real emissions.
If all of the western nations, esp. America, was to do this, and break down the local goods based on states/provences/regions/etc, then it would encourage leaders of local areas to look at how they are emitting and clean up. And yes, if China continues to add 2 new coal plants / week, they will pay a steep price.

The total number of troops landed on D-Day was around 130,000[19]-156,000[20] roughly half American and the other from the Commonwealth Realms.

You think that it is corruption for a nation's leaders to know what other governments are up to? In what way?

yeah, and Chinese gov. has no interest in your 401 or bank account or other items. Hey, you might consider the idea of moving to China.
Or simply show the proof to a number of our western allies that we trust, who you will notice now prohibit that equipment in their network.
EVERY honest nation would protest, and every nation that went along with it would simply be lying.
Sadly, I suspect that at least 1/2 of it is true for ALL nations. Heck, supposedly Palin and Bachman were playing the field with male lobbyists, which is prostitution in the best sense of the word. And that would indicate that it is true for both sexes, as well.
Acutally, you CAN pay with VISA in the USA.
And with CONgress being what it is, I suspect that if you approach the right type of congressmen (vitter, Duke Cunningham, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Spitzer, Springer, Tom Evans, Newt Gingrich, etc), you can use hookers to get out of paying taxes.

I seriously doubt it. The rich buy more items from outside of the USA, than the average American does.
