We've become so tribalistic that it's amazing we can even still talk to each other. I don't know what the cure will be, but if you can't talk politely/logically to people with opposing points of view, then you're part of the problem. If you're wishing ill will to those you've voted against, you're part of the problem.
We all want the economy to do well, but we don't agree on how to go about it. We all want good foreign relations, but we don't agree on the actions we should take with rogue nations. Etc., etc.
When opposing politicians win office, I honestly hope they do well, because it's about the nation doing well...not the fucking partys!
"The US constantly threatened to attack,..."...if attacked. When did the US ever threaten a first strike? Kim's deterrent was and still is a huge battery of artillery that would devastate Seoul. Yeah sure, we would have crushed him if he did it, but there would have been a lot of dead ROK civilians before that occurred.
"On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when some 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army poured across the 38th parallel"...From https://www.history.com/topics...
The Cold War had in fact started a few years prior. "The first phase of the Cold War began in the first two years after the end of the Second World War in 1945."...From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What you say might be true if you only look at very recent history of the conflict on the Korean peninsula. Their standing army of 1.2M troops practices their own war games. And let's remember that it was Kim Il-sung who invaded the south to start the conflict. Wasn't he concerned about Americans leveling him back then? The US keeps a token force of ~23k troops, many of whom are cooks, and doctors, and nurses, and secretaries. So, an annual exercise with your allies isn't "doing" much of anything to NK.
With China building their own little islands and claiming territory that doesn't belong to them, plenty of SE Asian nations still want Uncle Sam keeping the sea lanes open.
As for Trump pulling troops out of ROK, there's really not that many to pull...~23k, and many of those aren't combat troops. We had a lot more when I lived there back in the 80s and early 90s (peaking at ~45k), but even then USFK forces were really just to show the NK govt. that attacking the ROK would also be an attack on us. For comparison, look at Germany. We're more than 25 years post Cold War, and we still have around 34k there.
Does total number of war years really mean anything? When one party gets us into a war, and the other comes into office, they can't always just bring the troops home. And, where do these figures come from? You're showing 200 years of war...republicans and democrats haven't existed for 200 years.
"...it's diverting the water outside of the Lake Michigan watershed."
In what way is it leaving the Lake Michigan watershed? The only water that will leave the area is water that's evaporated and doesn't rain back into the Great Lakes.
Screwing over the US economy would only end up meaning that China would never be paid back the debt owed by the US. I don't think they want to shoot themselves in the foot.
Um, no. Bad drivers are causing accidents. If they're speeding that's the driver's fault, not Waze. If they can't handle a steep grade, they can turn around. Do you do everything Waze tells you to? If so, you should throw away your license.
So do metrics such as getting their work milestones done on time also act the same way? If so, then as an employer, I'm sorry their life sucked, but I wouldn't want them unless they could produce as much as their peers.
Than you confirmed with the wrong people unless you're only talking IT...nobody gives a fuck where you learn IT. But engineering, business, medicine...there's a massive difference in starting pay from top schools.
Yeah sure. Tell that to the Wharton and Harvard Business Schools, or MIT or Stanford grads, The evidence is that starting salaries for grads are much higher, and there's a reason for it.
Oh bullshit. I'm a hiring manager, and yes we do occasionally check social media. The only reason you might be unemployable is because you're making shit up.
What a fucking stupid thing to say. If you go out in public at all, your picture will be taken, and most likely get posted somewhere without your permission. Unless you plan to hide in a fucking cave the rest of your life, you won't avoid it. Now go crawl back in your hole, you fucking moron.
It could just as easily cost you 5x as much to develop a treatment as a cure...non argument, it just depends. Same with your confidence statement regarding returns over time. Oh, and let's add in the cost of side effects of being on meds for years. You and I could argue this until the cows come home, but in the end...It all depends on a variety of items, and thus "treatments are far better" is not accurate w/o investigating and due diligence, which is why this question is even coming up.
Interesting that HRC would need "state of the art computer" equipment when she only used "one device". I'd highly doubt that she's any more computer literate than the average joe sixpack. Funny that thousands of other State Dept. employees seem to get along just fine with it.
None of the previous Sec States had classified data on their personal mail. And the rules had changed regarding private mail since the previous ones. Nice attempt at diverting the issues.
Lack of markings on classified data don't make it unclassified. There is NO question that she knew what she had was classified. Everyone who goes on any classified program is briefed on what is and isn't. Some of the data had portion markings, and that means that anything without a (U) marking is classified...and she knows this. It was simply another attempt to confuse those who don't know anything on the topic...I do.
You state that no one is going to jail for not being careful enough with classified. Well, no one who has been careless (Comey's word) with classified has ever kept their clearance before HRC. All she learned from her experience is that she's still above all the little people.

Yeah, and similar to Germany, it's not going to happen with the large outside forces just pulling out. There are no unicorns and Utopia.

" the US military has been clear for decades that if the North Koreans actually build an ICBM that can reach the US, that will result in war."
Reference? Sorry, but I was a defense contractor there for many years, and have never once hear this.

Ask Obama. He was the one who was caught on mic https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and told Romney that the 80s called https://www.youtube.com/watch?... but now, because it's not their guy in office, the light has finally come on.

Yeah, tell me how far the previous administration sunk the US into debt before you spout off.
That's known as a "re-export", and HP would be on the hook only if they had any knowledge that the French were going to take that action.
Screwing over the US economy would only end up meaning that China would never be paid back the debt owed by the US. I don't think they want to shoot themselves in the foot.
Waze is causing accidents by ignoring the grade and routing the unwary (generally speeding) http://www.thedrive.com/news/1...

Reminded me of my favorite joke of that genre...
What do you call a girl who uses the rhythm method? Mommy.
Um, then don't take the fucking loan.
Forgot to take your meds, huh?

Ten fold is most certainly not the average. If it was, Wall Street would be putting all of it's money on Pharma.
