I was thinking more of Uranium, specifically depleted uranium that people get up in arms about it causing sickness which they CLAIM is from the radiation, when in fact it's from the rounds disintegrating/breaking up and being inhaled, where the alpha (i believe it's alpha) radiation can actually do harm.
Plutonium #1 is not waste, and #2 breeder reactors can burn a huge percentage of their own waste. Also, plutonium has very little radiation emitted from it, in fact so does uranium, you can get away with holding either in your bare hand for a short period of time with no problems what so ever, it's when ingested that the problems arise.
The only goal of WW2 for the US was for Roosevelt to drive the country towards being led around by the military industrial complex. Almost no one wanted the US to join, and Roosevelt did his damndest to taunt/trick Japan or Germany into attacking us. Embargoing Japan's oil and doing everything to basically let them think we were going to attack them at any moment, and planting americans on cargo ships headed for britain that were undefended and were almost certain to be sunk by u-boats. Roosevelt led us into a war that we shouldn't have, nor needed, to go into. WW2 wasn't even 'won' by America, it was won by the blood of the Russians.
Lincoln in his own words said he would have gladly kept the Union together if it merely meant allowing the South to keep their slaves. He only freed the slaves in the SOUTHERN states in the emancipation proclamation so they would revolt and help the North in their war effort. Slaves in the north were left enslaved.
Hence the AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION that established civil rights for them and other minorities. If you wanna have something that affects all states that isn't deemed a power granted to the legislative branch by the Constitution, try and get it amended! Otherwise, the states get to choose, or atleast should.
Why shouldn't the states decide what they want to do? Every state is supposed to be sovereign in it's own right, but adhering to the Constitution of the United States of America. It's a very simple concept if you aren't a fucking moron.
4. Percentage of bankruptcies caused by lack of proper planning by people who should be in control of their own lives instead of demanding the government take care of them every step of the way.
5. Number of houses lost to lenders because people were living beyond their means and it finally caught up to them.
Fixed it for you.
9 times out of a 10 the average man (not skinny geek or pencil pusher) can take out the average woman. As for the clothesline comment I made, it's simple physics again. A larger man can swing his arm and if it connects either the woman goes down or she braced herself which means his hand is now on her. Unless she knows judo/grappling techniques, and barring this guy never wrestling/playfighting in his entire life especially as a child, it's over unless she manages a shot to one of the 3 weakpoints (balls, eyes, or throat) It's great and all to say BUT WOMEN ARE JUST AS xxx AS MEN! But it's just not true when you talk about the physical makeup of the two groups. Women are generally smaller, and men are generally larger, and in a lot of cases much larger. Unless a woman is a master of a martial art/fighting technique, has a gun, or is physically close enough to the size of her attacker (if she's >140-150lbs, atleast from my experience with guys I know who weigh 130-140 and even they workout, it's simply too little mass to contend with a much larger opponent unless you know how to fight), she will lose, and lose hard without a disabling move surprising and as such disabling her attacker.
As to 'the girls I beat up on' they asked me to spar with them every time, and in one case it was me fucking with her after she got out of class one day and her saying she could kick my ass, but the funny thing about girls is, atleast the ones I know, they are generally 100-125, maybe 130lbs. To a guy my size (I have very little arm strength but top notch abdominal/leg strength) it's a simple matter of getting my hands on them (them meaning the girl, or anyone I'm fighting/sparring/wrestling with and is smaller than me) As soon as I have a grip, physics wins in my favor due to the mass difference alone.
What I'm trying to say is, for the most part in a man vs woman situation, barring weapons and such, the woman loses almost every time unless she has top notch training (or a surprise disabling move to one of the only 3 weak spots that really count) and he is completely inept.
A friend of mine teaches women's self defense classes. He (my friend) taught his student's that they WILL lose if they try to fight an attacker unless they get the element of surprise in a strike to the balls, throat, or eyes. Either they attack those 3 vital points with utter desperation and ferocity, nearly any male attacker (who is more than likely going to be much larger mass/size wise) is going to fucking own them, for lack of a better term. It's simple physics, a 200lb man needs only swing his arm clothesline style to take out nearly any woman he would attack. The only women who stand a chance against a larger (and almost every time it WILL be a larger male) attacker are those who get the balls eyes or throat in the first go and do enough damage to flee/get a weapon, or those who are ridiculously strong (for a woman) and can actually go toe to toe strengthwise, or the third case is a woman who knows how to fight (especially ground/grapple) vs a drunk or someone who doesn't know how to fight at all.
I'm 5'11, 190lbs, and I've had girls I know who are all I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR and take karate/self defense classes say they are just as strong as a man/can take one. Every single one ended on the ground with me mounting them quite effortlessly. All the karate and self defense shit you learn means shit when it's the equivalent of a mac truck running over a motorcycle.
Who the fuck are you or anyone else to try and force someone else to spend THEIR money that they EARNED the way YOU want them to? He's not the greedy fuck, it's people like you who want to force others to spend their money in ways that you think they should. If I ever become wealthy, I fully intend to light my cigarettes by lighting 100 dollar bills on fire in front of the poor. Mostly out of the fact that I could afford to, and because I have no sympathy for the poor, atleast in the US. Gonna get modded troll/flamebait, and I don't really care cause if you are unemployed in america and not royally fucked physically/mentally, it's your own damn fault and I really don't care. And if you're poor, it's your own fault for not taking better job opportunities or trying to educate yourself to open up better opportunities.
Turbine's auth system doesn't allow it anymore like zone did. As soon as you log into the auth system via the launcher, you couldn't log into it on the same TurbineID(account) from another place without booting the first
DT was extremely affected, and a huge proportion of DT accounts were cancelled, along with a substantial number of white server accounts, which led to one of the fastest hotfixes ever by turbine.
Noobs? Almost every single old timer quit, essentially the entire pvp playerbase (not counting all the carebears who jumped to darktide from the white servers after buying accounts) quit when this patch was put in. They had so many accounts cancelled at once that if they hadn't hotfixed to bring them all back AC would have been shut down, and this was when servers had ~1000-1500 pops avg + DT having 2000 pop average
Quality dev team? You are talking about the dev team that announced such changes as allowing Breasplates (1 out of 9 possible armor slots, but could also be covered by things like hauberks which covered abdomen + breast + upper arms + lower arms) to be debuffable in PVP which meant that melees (who had the only autohit in the game) to be able to 1 shot anyone who had their breastplate covering debuffed, and led to such a huge account cancellation that they performed the fastest hotfix in AC's history. This was something they added after weeks/months of nearly everyone saying DON'T FUCKING DO THIS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE DOING IT WILL RUIN PVP, and they still put it in. Within a day hundreds of accounts were cancelled, and almost immediately it was hotfixed and removed. This is one of the numerous fuckups the current/recent dev teams have performed. I played from Jan01 till ~TOD release, with a month or 2 returns twice since then, and the game progressively got dumbed down (storyline as well, the storylines that I've read from Dark Majesty were epic and utterly awesome) and just fucked up as the devs had almost no clue how to balance the game, write good storyline, or really do anything well. They added so many health/defense buffs to the game that melees are nigh unkillable unless they allow themselves to be killed (melee attacks = undodgeable without melee defense specced/maxed, and even then it's negligible the amount you evade them).
A huge portion of crime in this country is drug related. Gangs commit crimes over drug turf constantly. The only reason drugs are so expensive, leading people to resort to crime to do them, is because they are illegal which drives the cost up. IIRC cocaine cartels from south america allow (pretty much give to the authorities) one out of every seven ships transporting huge amounts of cocaine and simply write it off because of the insane amounts of money they make off of the other 6.
I only saw one newsletter, and it pretty much said exactly what the fucking statistics say. That blacks are more likely to commit crime or be incarcerated than whites. Show me the statistics where that isn't true. And don't try the 'it isnt blacks its poor people' because blacks have a habit (this isnt racism but #truth, you can go listen to bill cosby and chris rock talk about the black community sometime) of keeping themselves down, so they can perpetuate the whole 'the white man keeps us down' routine. Whether it's conscious or not I don't know, but it's a fact that they do it. Everytime a black guy gets beat up by the cops, or has anything happen to them, it's a racial motivated attack even though they always leave out the part that they tried to run the cops over (sean bell) or attacked the cops and were high on pcp (king). You don't hear about that sort of thing happening to whites because we don't perpetuate the culture of fighting the man/government/whitey. When a white guy gets beat up by the cops, we all stand back and laugh cause we know he probably deserved it.
Last I checked you weren't forced to work at a bar, nor patronize it. Golly bee, people making conscious decisions for themselves! But oh no, the government has to protect them!
And no, they aren't at risk because they are generally smokers themselves nor does the bar lack venti-fucking-lation. The fact that the air is circulating negates the problems of 'second hand smoke'
Criminals who have been interviewed have said time and time again that the biggest fear they have when robbing someone, be it in their home or on the street, is that they are armed. When they are in areas that they know for a fact noone should have a firearm because it's illegal, they know they have nothing to fear for the most part from anyone they intend to victimize.
I'm honestly getting sick of people saying 'second hand smoke kills' because it doesn't. It fucking doesn't. The EPA report that claimed it did has been proven to have been falsified / tampered with time after time. The only possible way second hand smoke kills/is more harmful than actually smoking the cigarette is if you are in a room that's been clambaked to the point of being unable to see more than a foot or so, and sitting in it for a prolonged period of time. Other than that, you are not inhaling more poisonous shit than the smoker as all that stuff dissipates into the air rather quickly.
The media decides who gets name recognition. Why do you think Ron Paul did so poorly in the 'scientific' polls? Because he didn't have name recognition due to the media having a near blackout on info about him in the early part of the Republican race, and then once he started wiping the floors with the other candidates at the debates, they did everything they could to make him seem like a lunatic/crazy old man. The media has a monopoly on who gets recognized by the public, and subsequently who gets elected.
We used 4000PSI concrete when forming the promenade (walkway around ~themiddle of a stadium) of the Yale Bowl in 2006. 3000PSI is some low grade shit, we were using that on fill ins only, almost all slabs I've ever been on were 4000PSI, so I have to assume that the shuttle pads are atleast 6-7000, bare minimum.
I've personally (albeit at a party) allowed friends to perform the same method of 'waterboarding' that is reported to be used on detainees by our government. I always let them do the real thing. I fucking dare you to try and explain to me how it is torture. That sort of thing takes nothing more than a strong mind to overcome.
Woah, thanks for the revelation there chief. All this time I thought they were coming here for money due to their subsistence farming operations being destroyed and their land taken away by corporations via NAFTA and that they didn't give a shit about assimilating anything other than our money into their country. If they all wanted to assimilate so badly, why the fuck do I have to see English/Spanish signs everywhere I go? Every other group that immigrated to this country assimilated, they either learned the language or starved, yet if we try to make the mexicans do the same we are racists. Most European immigrants (older ones mind you, who came over in the first half of the 20th century) HATE the illegals for their bs antics of not becoming a part of our culture, and instead trying to force theirs on us.
When they reach the level of voice acting that the Japanese have (try watching Anime or any video game where emotion is supposed to be a part of their dialog(sp?) in japanese with subtitles, and then in english dubbing) then they can ask for more money. Until then, American/English voice actors are absolute fail.
