Just When You Thought Arizona Couldn't Get Stupider...

I cannot comment on China's prisons for lack of data regarding them. That said, I expect no more compassion from the chinese than the russians (russia created them practically)

Well they are luckier than Iran, the prisons there are a bullet trough the head

[Minimalist]

Please do not talk about high profile exceptions. Russia's prisons are heavily overcrowded.

Wait, Sae.

Don't tell me you can see Russian prisons from Alaska?

I'd call the bullet through the head lucky.

And yes, min... I can see them from alaska

Replaced it with a theocracy, which will again become a dictatorship. Pathetic.

Hey, they're trying. Removing a dictator is a step in the right direction. Give them time, and maybe they will become a little more like the west.

Yes, Libya's revolution is much more inline with why I believe america should have weapons to defend itself from itself

You really think that what's happening over in Libya could happen where you are? And what convinces you of this?

If I'm charging, I'm charging. Running at my target. If that's in front of behind matters not.

Just be sure to know your enemy first.

Wonder when america will go the way of the romans (republic into empire).

It will fall from power within this century. Within our lifetimes I'm willing to bet. Power never lasts.
The trick to gaining and keeping power, is to never use it. Like someone who wins a million, but continues to work and live in an apartment and never spends the cash. Always having the ability to expand, but retains it.
You've got a lot of military, that's expensive, the economy has gone down the toilet, guess what's gonna happen next?

The very 'west' which will crumble in upon its corruption?

We have guns.

Just be sure to know your enemy first.

I already do, I shot you right before I charged.

Probably. But it will rebuild back up whilst there's nonsense like NATO around.

Is a fool. Money is to spend.

Military marching on foreign worlds hopefully?

[Autumnlicious]

Pfft. You people can stick to your puny little guns and training.

The future belongs to hunter-killer drones, targeted biological weapons and mass explosives.

[Anomalocaris]

If I was to become a dictator, I'll use nuclear weapons on my own people before they get any ideas about second amendment conferring upon them any right to disobey my slightest wishes.

A power once lost has never been recovered.

Oh really? A women once won the lottery, she became rich over night. She used to work at the tills. Instead of saving the money and keeping it safe, she went on a spending spree. In a little over a year and she was once again working behind the tills. A millionaire remains a millionaire by keeping that million in the bank. Spend it, and rich you will no longer be.
If we both had 10 million each, you spent yours, I kept mine. I would become more powerful than you.

Military marching on foreign worlds hopefully

Not likely. You'll never make it that far.

False pseudophilosophical bullshit. My computer loses power every time I unplug it. Then I plug it back in and it returns.

Unless I spent the 10 million taking both your 10 million and someone else's 10 million. Then I would spend those too.

There is nothing gained by money sitting. I don't respect those who have 1 million dollars, I respect those that have spent much of that money (minus the 'emergency' fund and a little extra for random vanity) on things they use.

Richness is not a measure of how much has, but of what one has.

Not likely. You'll never make it that far.

Full stop... america's military (largest other than china, and purportedly one of the best ones) won't make it very far against <insert weak european country here that relies on an alliance for security>?

I'm done if you say yes to that.

*Puts on jacket* Good night, Sae.
