    But the problem 100% is with China for this shitty move. Look at USSR USA cooperation in space.

    China is worse than Trump

  8. You are not saving lives. Killings will happen and murder rate in US is not outrageous. It is only perceived as such.

    Focus on what really kills Americans instead of media darlings. Focus on something that rarely makes headlines despite statistics.

    There is no "murder" epidemic even in Baltimore. Stop being liberal to killers. Hang them in a proper way: in 3 days, in a month, in a year, but not in a fricking 20 years.

    You see, American imbeciles, you are not doing things right, aaaaaaalways quoting Prohibition as a failure.

    The only failure is your stupid liberal system that aaaaalways covers for criminals because "human rights".

    That's the problem

    Again: go Duterte all the way, and there will be no opioid epidemic, no people demanding "marijuana for glaucoma" and idiocy like that.

    How about applying common sense instead of your "liberal principles" for a change?

    Every single character touched on my nerve because it seemed partially about me. That's why I laughed so hard.

    Inability to understand female irrationality was perfectly captures in the pilot where Penny is having typical breakdown and Sheldon and Leonard are silently gesticulating expressing utter inability to understand what is going on. This is spot on.

    Local governments are the worst violators of human rights. The amount of abuse by local feudal governments in the form of arbitrary taxes, dubious road laws, and outright gang-like collections on the road in the form of speed traps on interstate is astounding.

    I'd rather share the data with with FBI rather than my city. It will most certainly use the data for evil.

    You are talking out of your ass. There is no such problem. It is made up based on random anecdotal evidence.

    Amazing how little people know about the economy.

    The way out of poverty is to work your ass off, and beating up your kids for wasting their time in dubious entertainment for the lower classes (american football, rap, computer games) and study hard sciences hard struggling for acceptance in good computer science college.

    Unions, living wage battles, basic income battles won't help you.

    Chinese have been living in United States since forever, first working at low paying menial jobs, slowly growing generation after generation into a formidable force that now needs to be fought against by the means of discrimination: two races: white and Asian are discriminated against in the best schools.

    Competition is the only way to the top.

    There should be a gradual pyramid from the very bottom where at each level people will be stimulated to go up and will be afraid to go more down.
