Most people don't know that there was an almost simultainious attack on the Philipines (just 10 hours later) Without a wartime military, we were spread too thin to defend every available target and had to pick and choose. The targets also included the US territories of Alaska and the panama Canal zone, as well as the entire west coast. We had many more assets on the west coast to defend and did lose several Alaskan islands to the Japanese.

@BD66 way to just google shit and not read it, there is not one true socialist or capitalist government in the world. Just like your horse paste bul;lshit, you don't understand it so you just regugitate information whether it is true or not. Those countries by and large are communist, or totalitarian while they may show some characteristics of a socialist society, they are not a pure socialist society since all allow some entranenurship, allow private investment or have other free markets going on.

@BD66 The Nazis were fascist, never claimed to be anything else, Read "The rise and fall of the third Reicht" or any high school history book. I said before that there is not now nor has there ever been a true socialist nation. Pure socialism stops working once groups get over about 50. I also said that I do not agree with your definition, and youi have shown that you cannot identify any true socialist. I stand by my comparrison of republican picking trump being comparable to the people at Gentec continuing to open new dino parks.

@BD66 I don't accept definitions from wiki, from Webster :: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods Far more common are systems of social democracy, now often referred to as democratic socialism, in which extensive state regulation, with limited state ownership, has been employed by democratically elected governments (as in Sweden and Denmark) in the belief that it produces a fair distribution of income without impairing economic growth. As I said it would take hours to just define our terms, since I'm sure that you incorrectly assume you are a capitalist

glennlab replies on Oct 16, 2021:

@BD66 Denmark, Sweeden, Norway, and Germany are all socialist democracies. The failure of socialism is normally greed. Socialism is an economic system, not a political system. The "love your neighbor" dates back to at least 400 BCE (first written recording in Judeic texts), The mis quote of "the love of money is the root of all evil" dates back to ancient times and is seen in all the religions, and frankly the heaven one, no heaven, so don't really care about that one. Socialism didn't "just" spring up, rather it evolved in ALL societies from the beginnin of our evolution dating back at least 3 million years. It would take hours to get you up to date on the just the definitions so that we could have honest discussion. My major was accounting with a minor in economics.

Dr Kahn had largely left the program after a fall out with the ruling party. All of the caution of the Pakistani program comes from having common borders with 2 other nuclear powers (China and India). Dr Kahn proved that it is no longer a matter of research, but more a matter of engineering to make a nuclear device. The largest hurdle is still getting enough fissile material.

glennlab replies on Oct 10, 2021:

@JeffMurray Sorry about the delayed reply, Sunday football. I generally don't engage them except to say I don't agree with them, if I say anything. You are never going to be able change their minds or be able to present any set of facts that influence them.I typically shun them, I respect their right to show themselves a fool. Nothing says you have to engage on every subject. I have several friends that I never discuss politics of any type with. We have other shared interests that make the relationship worthwhile. I have others that I will not discuss religion with, and still others that I will not discuss sexuality with. Respect has to do with knowing boundries and not crossing them. Once they have been crossed, what you do is up to you. They way I would deal with your Nazi/racist example is ignore it, they are looking for confrontation, not dialogue. They are far from trying to engage in social intercourse. The way I dealt with Arayan Nations people in Idaho when I met them in a bar, was to say I didn't believe in their ideas, then refuse to get drug into a conversation.

Glenn Kirschner - If Bannon, Meadows or Others Plead the 5th, What are Congress's Options?

I hope they plead the 5th, the few that do give it up will get off while those that plead the 5th nay have a long visit with the jailer.

glennlab replies on Oct 10, 2021:

@Redheadedgammy No, what happens in a congressional hearing is that when you plead the 5th, the congressmember then reads into the record what they expect your answer to have been, then asks if that is correct. So the entire investigative results end up in the record without confirmation by that individual. A second outcome could be that they grant immunity ala Oliver North, then either they testify or or imprisoned until they do for up to 18 months. They normally reserve immunity for lower level players. In a trial court, if you plead the 5th questioning is over unless they grant immunity. Once they grant immunity, you are compelled to testify or go to jail for up to 18 months.

Normally the DOJ makes no notice of an investigation until an indictment has been handed down.

glennlab replies on Oct 10, 2021:

@racocn8 Virtually none of the pre indictment activity by DOJ is public and most is in fact secret. Only in civil cases and congressional investigations do facts come out in public. All of the information that the select committee uncovers can be handed over to prosecutors, even that which is a state secret. If he is found to have committed sedition, it will be very public. It took 2 years to get Nixon, have a little patience, but contact both your senators and your congress member and let them know where you stand, even if they are of the other party. The more people they hear from, the more likely they are to pressure the people than can take action.

@barjoe My union retail clerk job that I had prior to that paid $12 in 1974, I worked at the worlds fairfor that. apparently you were the one getting fucked. The area was highly unionized and everyone paid the prevailing wage or higher to keep the union out. The Buckhorn was a higher end place at the time

Maybe this will explain it better

I had a part time job washing dishes in 1974, it paid $14/hr, so 40 years later and it is only $17, it seems like that is a bit low. One thing that the shut down showed was that there were better jobs than the service industry that paid better. The only labor shortage right now is for lower paying jobs,

Maybe this will explain it better

As long as they all share equally in support, they are all equally important, but if one is neglected then you have a useless stool.

glennlab replies on Oct 3, 2021:

@Killtheskyfairy My political experience has been that there are always people that will vote against their own self interest, but the has been to make it about either their children or their parents and they will vote. But it is like them saying that blacks, and other groups don't vote as a block. The media high lights the 10 % that voted against their self interest and ignores the 90 %. Not every member of a group will vote for/against an issue, but if you have over 55-60%, that is considered a block.

I think the repugs have awakened a sleeping giant

@Robecology I did read the Snopes article prior to answering you, and I wish you would have answered my post ratrher than something you read on the internet that did not apply to how the quote was being used. You would have failed one of your students for a strawman argument if they had done something similar, I'm sure. Again I DID NOT ATTRIBUTE IT to Attenborough, you did by inference.

First I did not attibute it to Attenborough, second it is not presented as factual, but as metophorical to make a point. The reality is that one of the ,most effective ways to treat fire ant mounds without poisons is to take a shovel full of one ant mound and dump it on another mound. They will fight to the death even seeking out the queens. Since the exact type of ant is not specified, it would be next to impossible to prove or disprove There are 22,000 species of which only 13,800 have been classified so you do the math.

glennlab replies on Sep 24, 2021:

@azzow2 It is standard UCMJ boilerplate, and follows the federal rule that maximum penalties are stipulated and have nothing to do with what is actually imposed. A DD generally takes a felony conviction, I don't see a shot refusal to come to that level. I saw drug convictions come out with a general if they pled out versus going to trial.
