He kind of hit it on the head with the Africa analogy. Too bad the US got feed the mystery meat called WMD's. Some may say the US has no need of ME oil because our production is #1 , but the man behind the curtain is oil reserves, not production...

i didn't actually assign blame or causality. I was refuting this statement: but if we were to look at causality it seems that the inherent regional instability and the rise of radicalized regimes is costing the US and Europe dearly.

curiously even that point seems to be incorrect. i think the ex-military pilots sit at about 33%.

Or history has shown that partitioning the Ottoman Empire into a bunch of invented countries was asking for trouble. it can be argued that these crude divisions were directly responsible for this "never-ending conflict".

This is an unsubstantiated hypothesis. There is no indication that if the us defense budget was say 50% of it's historic actuality that the internet would have somehow failed to come into existence. The aviation industry at least has a potential economic argument, but ultimately you have no...

bro, invest that extra $$ in some computer science classes, anything without hair nets.

EMP vs computer = 10 EMP vs book = 0

...looks around for hate in vain, finds a puppy...delicious!

First i would define AI. simulating human brain function is not necessarily the same thing as AI and it’s such a complicated subject that without clearly defined parameters you have no place to start. in terms of linear computation, that texas instruments whatever from the 80’s blows away...

the bm's were actually trying to run and return the flag, it was the rest of us that were doing "other" things. personally i was practicing jumps in stealth. best way to deal with 3 29 bm's imho.

that was actually my fav part of the thread. you guys need some 3rd party arbitration to negotiate contracts before matches.

i guess you'll have to read more carefully and explore the notion of context for your answers.

let's see, you asked a question, followed by a bunch of provably false statements. you then ignore the rebuttal and change the subject. your subject change is name calling. talk about calling the kettle black.

i wasn't answering a question, i was demonstrated that your statements were false or lacked any real meaning or substance. muslims aren't a race.

no, that's not what he said. he did not say he wants to "stem immigration", he said he wants to "ban muslims from entering the country." This includes muslim americans that are abroad. this is unconstitutional and pretty much every constitutional scholar agrees. he did not say "for...

ok, you suggest muslims in the US don’t obtain firearms legally (as if it’s difficult) without any actual supporting evidence. the evidence you do supply is a demonstrable fallacy. the fallacy is that muslims have no use for firearms. your evidence is “”Islam is a religion of "peace and...

muslims (and democrats) should rejoice at trumps extremest, unconstitutional rhetoric. if he win’s the republican nomination the democrats can field a turnip and win.

lenny, you kind of stepped in it by making a religious argument while saying you weren’t. nature doesn’t make “laws”, nor it doesn’t “create” or “develop”, it’s just the term we use to describe the physical universe and/or life in general. the words laws, create, develop and reason all...

the key to baba ghanoush is roasting the eggplant, preferably in the coals of a wood fire.
