    Your an idiot. Seriously. I'm not perpetuating anything, merely pointing out a link on the web. I didn't qualify it. THIS is why people are starting to call people like you envronmental fascists. NO ONE can have a view that contradicts yours, right?

    Current US statistics on WHAT? You make an interesting point but on what I'm not sure. The "dumb monkey mentality" that will "wipe the US into irrelevence" is meaningless without context. What the fuck are you talking about? I don't nessessarily disagree with you, but your point has no balls.

    They put him in a debtors' prison until he has paid his debt off.

    Where are you from, the 18th century? He was convicted in California, "debtor's prisons" are illegal in every US jurisdiction. Having a felony conviction however pretty much relegates him to being in debt for the rest of his life though.

    It's bad for another reason too. Earth Quakes.

    Which is the argument I hear from anyone who doesn't live here; "I'm not going to California, too many earthquakes." So, nothing should happen here I guess becuase its possible a devistating earthquake will hit (Loma Prieta was like 20 years ago by the way). Meanwhile the east coast gets hit with hurricanes EVERY SEASON w/loss of life.

    Yes? It sounds like the US has the strictest rules here, punishable by a $250,000 fine and 20 years' imprisonment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb-making_instructions_on_the_internet#Legislation

    You need to actually read the wikipedia article; there was a law passed banning dissemination of bomb-making material on the internet, after a lot of bantering about, it took a LOT of legislative work to get it passed. But here's the thing; the lawmakers themselves recognized that you can buy hardcopy books on the subject at bookstores, and in all my time living in the US (born here and with a couple of exceptions lived here all my life) I've never heard of anyone being arrested for downloading such material anyway. So spouting off that the US "has the strictest [whatever] is a bit worthless, yeah? I can fault the US for a lot of things, but your point is utter fluff.

    Not a single story about the deadly Chinese cruise missile passes the smell test.

    The Australians seem to believe otherwise.

    The PLA is a major user of cruise missile technology, and China both manufactures and exports a wide range of cruise missiles in all categories.

    The PLA's preoccupation with cruise missiles reflects the historical reality that until the advent of the modern Su-30MKK/MK2 and FH-7 fighters, China lacked aircraft capable of penetrating any defences.

    China's first generation of cruise missiles were based on the Soviet Styx, and derivatives of this 1950s design remain in production. More recent Chinese designs are modelled on the Western Exocet, Harpoon and Tomahawk families of missiles.

    In addition to domestically built cruise missiles, China also operates the imported Russian supersonic 3M80E Moskit / SS-N-22 Sunburn, and the 3M54/3M14 Klub/Kalibr / SS-N-27 Sizzler missiles.

    Smells to me like the Chinese are heavily invested in something that "doesn't pass the smell test."

    Carrier fleets are not defenseless against subs, infact their defense has centered around sub-based offense. But the Chinese really don't care- not becuase of their sub fleet, which is small and 20 years behind in technology, but becuase of this. These types of missles are far cheaper and much more effective than attack subs.
