  1. They have a common cultural heritage, speak the same language. Families have been divided by the border for generations. South Korea is prosperous and successful, and they have made big strides lately toward rooting out corruption. There is plenty of opportunity for moves toward reunification.

  2. Just a friendly reminder: Whatever MMO you think you are logged into... you're not.

  3. Your comment comes off as a better, more enlightened crapflood. Unless you actually meant any of that, well done, very elaborately worded CF.

    If you were being serious, seek professional help for your Trump Derangement Syndrome. The clinicians are open for bookings because the Obama-Derangement-Syndrome guys have been cooling down.

  4. They were at that time a Sino/Russian proxy, and it was the start of the Cold War. The south was a US proxy. Conflict was inevitable, and 'who shot first' arguments are interesting but it's all so wrapped up in ideology that it at this point can have no bearing on present issues. Unless you're an old fart at an American Legion reminiscing, it's pretty irrelevant.

    Twenty years from now when you are at the villa reminiscing, you can divulge that you're one of the guys who knew how to hold a Phillips screwdriver and bilked thousands out of their student loan money.

    That is called an extensive burn-in. If silicon lasts through the initial burn-in and was not operated in an abusive environment, it's better than a random new card fresh from packaging.

  7. Which means, of course, that they should be able to resolve the issue easily by divulging what will be in the discharged water.

    That scoreboard does not show a tie game, but it sure shows that both sides have carried the ball quite a bit. Here's a secret, though: I am no rooting for either 'team.' You seem to be rooting for the 'D' choice, howver. But look how many wars they've started!

  9. It sucks when you pay for something and then due to unforeseen circumstances you cannot take delivery.

  10. Don't post a link to a general list of all restricted substances. Let's have them explain specifically what they find acceptable to release in the discharge water.

    You only need study H. Clinton's history during her time as Secretary of State. She's more of a globalist-enabler than a liberal. She and her clients were just itching for her to come to power so she could escalate the conflict in Syria. And it was NEVER about human rights or the plight of the Syrians. It has always been about the natural gas pipeline they want to string over Syrian territory to get said gas to market at a profit.

  12. I'll just leave this here

    How rude. Didn't your mom teach you how to flush?

    The only extant nazi-worshippers are trolls who persist in bringing them up in online political discussions.

    So pray at your altar, little worm.

  14. You mad, bro?

  15. The North and South Koreans want an end to the civil war. They want reunification, similar to how Germany wanted reunification. And they are entitled to it. Large outside forces should remove themselves from Korea and let the Koreans negotiate peace.

  16. There are probably large and powerful drug companies who sell anti-venereal disease medications to the military who would scupper any deal to remove the US Military from South Korea.

  17. How about "they did some really shitty things foreign policy-wide. oh, and they are lefties, but that's beside the point, they are bad people!"

    The Warlord Hillary would have sent in ground troops?

    If the Annointed One had won the election, there would be three or possibly low four figure US casulties by this time in the ground war in Syria.

    For her clients, the coveted gas pipeline across Syria is worth that much.

    WTF, "back in the 60's"?

    Iran had their revolution in 1979. The US-backed shah was overthrown, and after the revolution the conservative religious wing of the revolutionary forces seized power.

  20. What are they adding to the water before releasing it?

  21. If they need that quantity of water, truck it in for one time use. They can recycle and reuse the water in a closed system. If more water is needed, truck in some more. A fat pipe is only needed if they intend to abuse their water privledges. They can even recover most of the evaporant, so the water trucks can just be rented.

    Right? Or is there something they are hoping to discreetly have carried away in the discharged water??

  22. Surely there must be enough pig farming operations along the pipe pathway to pump liquid pig manure rather than water into the Facebook facility.

  23. When you consider the size of Lake Michigan and it's impact on the region it is in, I would want to add one or two more zeroes onto the scale factor before considering the project acceptable.

    Other big projects have had impacts on the Great Lakes in the past. Reserve Mining Company in Silver Bay, MN for many years was dumping 67,000 tons of asbestous per day into Lake Superior for a long time, because they were allowed to. That scale of operation shouldn't be allowed again.

    Water is eminently re-usable. This plant needs to be designed to recycle and use the same water continuously. If there is an expensive disposal problem with contaminants in the process water, it should be contained and the disposal costs dealt with. Not just dumped back into the Commons for everyone to deal with. If the cost of reprocessing and de-contamination is too high, the plant simply isn't feasible and should not be built that way.

  24. The contaminants in Flint were already in the pipe network the water was delivered through. The lead pipe network was sitting there, a ticking time-bomb. It was the introduction of slightly more corrosive water that dissolved the lead into the water supply that made the problem. If the pipe network had been ceramic, or pvc, or stainless steel, there would not be a problem.

  25. 'Capitalists' need people to sell things to. Environmentalists get by with just their dreams of some sort of 'balance' having been arrived at.
