And the rest of the world thought it was the arrogance, poor understanding of the rest of the world, installing and protecting despots, financing and training terrorists to murder and torture and then attacking other countries to "bomb them back to the stone age".

Those sideways looks are jealousy. Most men realy just want to sit at home and play games and wish someone else would go out to work for them.

You forget - all of these people obsessed with height are equally ok with men who publicly critisice ugly, fat, skinny or flat chested women. Body shaming is not an issue and its perfectly ok to specify the physical characteristics you prefer.

"The problem we have here is China has imperial dreams. They're tired of being second fiddle."

"A black rist bange."I don't know what this is, but I bet they sell it at Justice. Done.

First - where in the UN charter does it dictate that all individuals have to be subject to a state? What happened previous to the existence of the UN? I'm not disagreeing I'm genuinely curious.

Are you claiming you are forced against your will to live where you do, with the infrastructure and security provided by taxation? Thats different then. You should try to sneak across the border and keep going until you can reach somewhere that doesn't have a government.

Its not robbery though. Its the fee you agree to pay to live in a place that uses taxation to provide the facilities you rely on. If you don't want to live in that type of society move to Somalia, Western Sahara or one of the other countries that don't collect taxation from individuals.
