We have troops stationed in developed nations such as Germany,Japan & south Korea, and it's costing us a fortune. If we have to defend their ass, they should at-least foot half the bill. You don't think the US has troops in those countries because it suits it's foreign policy objectives? and do...

Poor people don't always make the rational choice in their situation. And yet we live in an age where the planet's economy is based on models that assume people act rationally. And it's not just poor people that don't always act rationally. Yes, socialist economists do make the mistake of thinking ...

Modern education is achieving more than it ever has. That's the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard. Education (and I'm talking about schools) is one of the biggest scams on Earth. The Chicago teachers union has just put all of the city's teachers on strike, and in effect has told all of Chicago'...

I, myself, do not have the means to measure the speed of light, but I do not question the accuracy of those wh...

Just because a particular person cannot complete the puzzle, does not make them of low intillegence. It takes a particular mind set, focus and concentration to work it through to the end. Many will work it part way through and loose track of which disk is going where, it's not that hard to loose tr...

You would advocate the death penalty if Jewish children and women were killed. Where did he say this? But, even if he did.... But you're against the death penalty otherwise, why is this? It's because you're biased, a liar, and a racist, you stupid, stupid fuck. You're subjective. You believe the li...

Why did Einstein INFURIATE the tower. He was a pleb. that changed our world. Without permission of the tower. :lol: Yeah! A pleb with a degree in Physics from the foremost Polytechnic in Switzerland.
