So if she’s disliked simply because she’s a woman, then how can you have any honest discussion about the numerous reasons she shouldn’t be President? At the end of the day, you can dismiss all arguments as “Well of course they’d say that, she’s a woman”. It can’t possibly be because of her handling of this email…

I’d like to see it done, just because it’s there. The X-15 STILL holds records that have lasted since the 60's, we should break them, because we can. We should ALWAYS be striving to push the envelope. As for practical uses for a hypersonic aircraft, I’ll freely admit they are marginal, but they could also be a…

Not expensive enough.

I’m not sure how things work down under, but us Yanks don’t believe in letting things burn.

The Hunt for Green Cucumber

I justed starred both of these comments.

If a nuke was used on South Korea then there would not be a response in kind. There would be a display of power that would put Shock and Awe to shame as all of our regional forces quickly converge and start a bombing campaign. China would get in the action so they are not next and that would be the majority of the…

I’m of the opposite opinion. NK is basically one big pillbox. I think they hold out to the last man, eating their shoeleather, that sort of thing. You know, communist paradise.

Wraith.

Now that’s funny.

I saw on some documentary that this would be a useless idea. The narrator said that exploding an ICBM against an asteroid would be like exploding a firecracker on your open palm. Sure, you would get burned, but it would likely not lead to permanent damage. On the other hand, if you close your fist around the same…

And yet sadly, Japan beefing up their fleet is a necessary evil considering China’s aggressive stance towards the South-Chinese sea and the Senkaku islands. He’s not inventing a threat like G.W. Bush did in Iraq, his threat is quite real and right across the sea from his country.

The irrational nature of both this and Germany’s post WW2 stance this long after the end of hostilities, was/is not helpful. Better to make the tough decision now and be prepared than be forced to make it while unprepared.

Sorry...couldn’t resist. Seriously, though, I think this change in stance and policy with regard to the Japanese military is very positive and timely considering the situation in the South China Sea and overall in APAC. I, for one, applaud it and welcome them to the fold as a full-blown ally.

I don't know. If you do something he doesn't like - talk on the phone too loudly while he's watching his favorite show and he slaps you hard in the face without warning, that'd be justified, not abuse, right?

They've been taught for years not the hit women, taught that any retaliation or protection of themselves will seen as abuse toward her and that they are the bigger and stronger one so they should be able to take it.
