To claim that the Korean Civil War is an act of North Korean aggression is laughably simplistic. That would be like saying the US Revolutionary War was a result of colonial aggression. It’s simply a declaration of sovereignty that the US wished didn’t happen.

Based on what evidence? North Korea has never provoked a military altercation. They have never launched an attack. They merely exist as a political entity that the US wishes didn’t exist. Which is funny, because the US is a power that does regularly violate the sovereignty of foreign powers and massacre their…

North Korea doesn’t kill anyone from other countries. They don’t drone strike sovereign nations. They don’t stage coups or massacre foreign civilians.

I don’t understand... “worse and worse”....how many Americans have North Korea killed this year? I’m confused.

Do you have any sources of that? Any links to testimony?

I’m curious as to 1. the validity and 2. how it differs from US elective abortion in the case of disability

Also, are you claiming that no parents in the US elect not to carry a pregnancy to term in the case of extreme post-natal disability?

“...may partially explain the lower infant mortality rate observed in Cuba compared to that observed in Chile”

What evidence is there of eugenic abortions?

We’re speaking plainly in terms of medicine, as is your argument; food shortages resulting from Western embargo are not really the same conversation. Though medical supply shortages resulting from such an embargo are relevant.

Cuba’s mortality rates, infant and adult, both dropped dramatically after the revolution. Cuba sends 25,000 doctors to 68 countries to provide medical care.

Yeah Cuba takes strong objections to your idea of superior capitalist medical care

All I’m trying to say is that this kind of fear-mongering is senseless. There’s no evidence that Huawei wants to put this kind of technology on devices, there’s no evidence it has happened, and there’s no real negative consequences that 99% of Americans would have to worry about. If you’re an ambassador or a CEO,…

Firstly, that’s just pitifully sad. You shouldn’t be happy to let fear and greed govern anything, nevermind limit cellphone offerings based on, what? The fact that China has a strong economy and that runs against US interests?

I happily use a Huawei phone. It’s a great phone.

The US’s concerns are purely economic, as Huawei has volunteered to let it’s phones and software be fully inspected for any kind of back door.

I assure you, AT&T received pressure from the likes of Apple and Samsung to not let any affordable high-end phones into the US…

I don’t think that’s what “stuck up” means

It’s both scientific and moral. The science is that THC doesn’t impair you in the same way, because the chemical isn’t absorbed in the same parts of the brain as alcohol. This makes driving drunk very very dangerous, and driving stoned significantly less so. That’s why it’s morally outrageous to drive drunk and not as…

I’ll bite.

In New Hampshire, you need to put yourself on a list requesting to be called when there is available roadkill. When an animal is killed, Fish & Game start making calls in order to see who on the list wants it.

Third, if you include Louis CK having his new Netflix special cancelled

Gotta love beer snobs.

I want to get drunk, not spend $15 for 68,000,000 IBU’s

boo the fuck hoo

“waaahhh normal people can’t even be standard without it being pointed out that it’s standard!”
