Yes, you are. You can disagree violently and debate violently, but you can’t physically attack people.

I’m conflicted. One one hand, that was the coolest shit I’ve ever seen. On the other, those players kneeling during a foofy pregame ritual was deeply upsetting.

I think you have it backwards right? The Fitzgerald incident is so painfully bad, it is shocking. As bad as the bridge watch situation was, that line about the CIC failures was even more terrible: “watch team members were not familiar with basic radar fundamentals, impeding effective use... [Team members] failed to…

There are many economic and political reasons not just defense reasons. For example every country has territorial waters and exclusive economic zones that are certain distances from shore. If the successfully claim this land it would prevent any other country from fishing nearby without special permissions. This area…

Not saying I don’t agree with scaling back operations, but the reason we “buzz” the Chinese Islands is to prevent China from calming international water as their own. In the US, your neighbor can build a fence across your property; if you do not dispute it after a period of time it actually becomes their land. So in…

Why else would you go canoeing?

Your understanding of stealth and radar is pretty awful. Like, really really awful.

Baseball: a sport where a serious man gets upset at his opponent for not helping one of his own guys play better.

Man not sure where these people work? I sell Chevy in Michigan we are open 9 am till 6pm and till 9pm on Monday and Thursday. No saturday or Sundays. Every sales person here has been here at least 10 years. We work our own deals, no manager involved at all and that includes Finance (back end products) We work the deal…
