I am very well informed on North Korea thank you. You are mis-reading what I said. Sure, some of them still think he’s a god (a surprising amount of the population has access to south Korean and Chinese shows thanks to USB drives, so they know what’s up now, and what they say in the public square is different what…

No, because as awful as that would be, it’s at least 1/300th as awful as ‘annihilate the USA’.

The only reason N. Korea wants a nuke to hit LA is in case we invade them. They’ve seen what happens to countries that don’t have nukes, and they’ve decided this is the only way. Time to GTFO of S. Korea, which has a fine army fully capable of defending itself. Tell them we’re leaving and we’ll sign a peace treaty…

He has enough artillery to flatten Seoul in 30 minutes, and chemical and biological agents to put on them. His intermediate range missiles are shit but he has thousands of short range ones, basically scuds, that can reach anywhere in S. Korea. they’re not at all accurate, but he has enough Anthrax in storage to kill…

I’ve been to Seoul, so I can imagine where you’re at, but not what it must be like to be there right now. Good luck and I really hope everything blows over.

Only in your dreams, and Kim-Jong-Un’s, will he ever have enough firepower to annihilate the USA, or ever come close. In a few years he might be able to take out a small chunk of a city, which would definitely suck for the people who lived in that city, if he was lucky and the rocket didn’t fall to pieces on the way.…

I was sad when I saw the first picture, I practically lost it on the second. I’m so sorry for your loss.

They’re not questioning you, they’re just amused. New parents worry about everything, the second kid on out you’ll be like, “whatever”. Also by the second one you will definitely drug your kid to be more compliant, and not think twice about it. Have fun!

Not willfull ignorance: Cognitive Dissonance (holding two mutually opposing views at the same time because you can’t admit you could be wrong, even though both things cannot logically be true at the same time).

alleging that team members were involved in “a long list of things,” including prostitution, purchasing alcohol for underage team members, and paying others to complete their homework assignments.

I am ex-military and virtually all of my friends are Marines. I love Marines and you can be sure that my answer has not one twinge of anti-Marine-ness in it. Run, go, break it off, stop.

After a year or so of this, even they will get tired. If we’re still alive to notice.

Karen Pence looks like one of Dr. Evil’s henchpersons.

Other than that missing ‘of’, what’s so bad about the way it was written? I once had a creative writing essay that was the same sentence written 50 different ways. Also, it’s a blog post, not an article in the Atlantic.

An active nuker.

In my worst nightmares I have never seen anything like that.

I had to watch it just because of this comment, and you’re very right.

Amazing comment, really surprisingly moving. I felt like I was there! I could read your descriptions of what history was like for you all day long.

This will continue until we have another Pearl Harbor moment, in which we learned battleships were outmoded and the warfare tech of the future was aircraft carriers. Afterwards, meaning after several carriers sink to the bottom of the South China Sea, it will seem obvious to everyone.

It’s kinda fucked up that this is probably, almost surely, going to be the most helpful and informative thing (at least relevant to my life) I’ll read today.
