Simple solution... eat more corn and less pork. It takes many pounds of corn to produce 1 pound of pork. The Chinese are good at making vegetarian food look like meat, so why can’t they make vegetarian pork patties? It’s healthier for them anyway. Would they rather be obese like super-sized North Americans?

If we look at modern-day spree killing incidents, the highest body count so far is by Woo Bum-Kon, a Korean cop who killed 58 people and wounded 35 in South Korea. Prior to him, the highest record was held by a Japanese.

I think one reason why Korean and Japanese governments look the other way at their red light district is because they want to have a place where people can go party and let off steam. If you’re blowing your top your coworkers would take you to have some beers and women at some karaoke bar.

In this case the shooter probably had no friends and just stayed home to boil steam until it blew up.

‘For that to happen you will have to export it to Pakistan not India. India and China aren’t allies.’

I’m pretty sure they’d be happy to trade weapons under the table, if the price is right, like Israeli weapon shipments to Iran from 1970s to 1990s:

Come to the think of it, the Hezbollah in Lebanon had TOW anti-tank missiles made in 2001. Gee I wonder which one of our esteemed “allies” gave it to them this time:

Has anyone looked at India’s arsenal? It’s full of Russian hardware. They also have joint weapon development program with the Russians. If we export these chips and technology to India, who’s to say that it won’t end up on Russian missiles and get exported to Iran?

I'm curious, the Jews aren't supposed to eat pork either, but how come I never heard about Orthodox Jew cashiers refusing to scan bacon?

I think these are a great idea... our government should be subsidizing companies to make these and export them allover the world. More wind power for them = more oil for us.

I'm still waiting for the "massive defaults and foreclosures" so I can buy more houses.

Let's compare:

A couple who gets a huge loan to buy a big house, and fill it with all kinds of crap and spend the next 30-40 years to pay for it,

versus

A couple who buys a modest home with 15-year loan, choose what they buy based on necessity, works hard to pay off their mortgage and retires early.


From our government's point of view, couple #1 will spend more, consume more, work longer, and generate more tax revenue.

Couple #2, from our government's point of view, is unpatriotic for choosing a minimalist lifestyle and therefore generate far less tax income for Uncle Sam. Traitors!

There are some good reasons why our government doesn't discourage rampant consumerism. HA.

Married women at least have benefit of a (hopefully) supporting family if she opt to have a baby. The problem is with young, unmarried girls who are pregnant and feel they're better off getting an abortion, because the father is unwilling to take responsibility and few men are willing to date single moms because they don't want to end up being financially liable for someone else's kid.

Yes women who have abortions suffer post-abortion depression. But women who give birth also suffer from postpartum depression. In our culture today women are raised in an environment where they learn to turn their nose at "wifely' and "motherly" skills like cooking, cleaning, mothering, nuturing, want kids, etc. They'd rather be successful at their careers and be financially secure without needing a husband. I just can't picture a modern feminist being happy staying home to care for her children.

Why is there a surge of foreign applicants to adopt kids? What about all the orphans in their own country?

So... why are we sending our jobs to asians again? plenty of unemployed people in this country, we only need to scrap minimum wage and welfare to make them work.

I support a "North American Economic Union" that streches from Canada down to Panama.

I think it shows a need to review elderly drivers for their ability to drive on a more frequent basis.

Airlines are allowed to discriminate based on age and health for pilots, so should the DMV.

Total BS.

What's the point of draft if your men (and women) can't carry a rifle?

Beauty queen or not, get with the program and start carrying that rifle.

Nobody pointed a gun at their heads and forced them to live there. Don't like the HOA rules? Move.

One man's observation on the future of the "aussies" that you mentioned:

No matter how many F35's you give them, it's hopeless if they turn into bums asking for $2 coins.

I think I just lost a few brain cels reading this article and thread.

If you want to start an "action plan" to have white parents teach their kids how to stare without blinking for as long as possible, just so that they could beat some asian kid in a "no blinking" contest, feel free to do so. I'm sure the asian parents are doing just as productive, like making their kids do homework.

Brazil has an extensive alcohol fuel production and distribution network, not to mention huge sugarcane production plantation and cheap farm labor to produce the alcohol. The same would be very difficult to replicate in the US.

Naw, they just don't like to degrade themselves to mobocracy.

Some might cheer at an angry mob beating up muslims and burning down the mosque today. But once it's made a precedent and spread to become acceptable behavior, you won't like the end result when angry mobs switch targets.

The muslims themselves make good examples of this. Look at this arabs and iranians, they're very passionate and prone to angry mob mentality, putting emotion before reason and truth. Would you want to live in a society like that?
