Which is not something to be proud of and it indicates that their tactics were likely not very good. Losing troops is not an indication that they are doing it right, and a country that calls it's troops "general issue" is not a military to emulate. In Vietnam because the Aussies and NZ troops did not use US tactics their death rate was very small in comparison.

No it's not OK to do that, and as it's going to kill off humanity the planet will have a chance to recover before the next dominant species evolves. Hopefully it's better than humanity.

Must have remembered it wrong or was looking at a different site. !2mm or 1.2mm hardly makes a difference anyway. IMO MMCC is and always was BS. It's just a scam so the usual crooks can get free holidays in exotic locations, and increase taxes. You could do with learning some manners.

She is so stupid she lost against the worst man on the planet.

Nah, Rosie had more intergrity and brains than HRC and IMO Rosie has none of either.

I love the comedy posts on this forum. BTW, IMO the US deserves Trump, as revenge for all the death and destruction wreaked on the rest of the planet by the USA.

That's what the left does, however, in who's opinion is the US the greatest country on the planet, certainly not a majority of humans.

The US is divided, and a house divided against itself can not stand. It's just a matter of time. Took the Roman empire hundreds of years in decline before the end. I'm sure it'll be by the end of 2025 for the US.

Decades too late. The decline started on the day Johnson sent the Marines into combat in Vietnam. That war tore the US asunder and it's never recovered from the trauma. IMO.

Too lazy to use google then? Had you done so you'd have found this ( PS that was one of my favourite songs back in the early 70s ) Green Onions Song by The Blues Brothers ‧ 1980 Lyrics All right people. The rest of the hard working all star Blues Brothers are gonna be out here in a minute, including my little brother Jake. But right now, I'd like to talk a little bit about this tune you're hearing. This is of course the Green Onions tune. It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country. And of course it was composed and recorded in Memphis, Tennessee, Rright here in the United States Of America. You know, people, I believe that this tune can be acquainted with the great classical music around the world. Now you go to Germany, You've got your Bach, your Beethoven, your Brahms... Here in America you've got your Fred McDowell, Your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller, And your Booker T & The MG's, people. Another example of the great contributions in music and culture That this country has made around the world. And as you look around the world today You see this country spurned. You see backs turned on this country. Well people, I'm gonna tell you something, this continent, North America, is the stronghold! This is where we're gonna make our stand in this decade! Yeah, people, I've got something to say to the State Department. I say Take that archaic Monroe Doctrine, And that Marshall Plan that says we're supposed to police force the world, and throw 'em out! Let's stay home for the next ten years people! Right here in North America and enjoy the music and culture that is ours. Yeah, I got one more thing to say. I'm just talking about the music, people, and what it does to me. And that is, as you look around the world, You go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain or France, You name it, any country... Everybody is doing flips and twists Just to get into a genuine pair of American blue jeans! And to hear this music and we got it all here in America, The land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine!

So true. The sheeple keep running around oblivious to the doom that is surely coming.

It's like a bad habit that we just can't break. I've tried to get out so many times, but I keep getting sucked back in.

Ditto.

Wittering about GDP etc is a waste of time as it says nothing about "standard of living" as reality for real people. Just spending more does not make people better off. Bhutan is the only country in the world with a sane SOL index as it measure people's happiness, not their money in the bank. I doubt there is any western country where a majority of the people are happy.

I wasn't making an argument, as I stated the fact that the thread started in November- are you going to say it wasn't? As for Give it some time. on that basis so is America's economy with it's multi trillion $ debt. Russia is doing just fine when some on here claim it's in imminent danger of collapsing

Didn't seem particulary insane to me. I've been on worse exercises than that. As for the numptie showing a white light on his face at minute 15, what the **** was he thinking. Waste of time driving without lights if the passenger is lit up like a street lamp.

If you buy an EV they say you can use the battery on that. Of course you probably are too sensible to buy a toy car.

No storage battery?

Of course and other than an emperor running things it's pretty much like here on planet Earth. Wars and wars and wars etc. We've even got a few candidates for the Baron position. If you are thinking of starting a Butlerian campaign count me in.

Thanks for the comedy post. I can survive quite nicely without electricity if I have to. I do nothing important on the internet, and if it doesn't work I have books to read. Next.

I have owned jeans when I cared about what other people thought of me- fitting in with the sheeple. When I wore holes in the legs I cut the legs off and used them as shorts. Eventually they had more mends than not so they were consigned to landfill. Haven't had jeans since the 80s. Been wearing bog standard shorts I bought for 100 baht each in Thailand since the 90s. They have proper pockets. They'll see me out, I'm sure.

My beef with jeans is the lack of proper pockets. The ones they have don't hold much and all those people walking around with their phones poking out of their back pockets are just begging to lose them. They were invented as hard wearing farm clothing, and somehow became an icon of the youth movement, and the most stupid fashion statement of all times is the ripped jeans look, where perfectly good clothing is destroyed.

I scorn your claim. Sea level rise around NZ is about 12 mm a year. If you are claiming that it's over that in other parts of the world I can not take you seriously. There are no stable higher water level rises in one part of the planet than in others, and to say otherwise is a nonsense. IMO it's a fake claim to get stupid western politicians to give lotsacash to poor countries. So far not succeeding very well. The number one thing that might reduce the human impact on the environment is a significant decrease in population, but that is never discussed by the pointless jaunts to exotic destinations by the climate change hypocrites, to which they fly in fossil fuelled aeroplanes.

Who's denying that climate is changing- no one on this forum. What I utterly reject in any shape or form is that no matter what caused it, and that is open for discussion, is that anything that humans can do will have an effect on it, whatsoever. It's propaganda to make money for the 1% and increase taxes. Humans will either adapt to a changing climate, or become extinct. If they stopped spending all the money on bombs, they might be able to mitigate the problem, but there isn't any profit in that so it won't happen.

Perhaps I should start adding a sarcasm emoji to some of my posts. I know enough of the intel/ spook world to know that I despise that it is necessary. If humans can't learn to get along without killing each other, humans are not going to be around for too much longer, and Gaia will be happy about that ( that's not sarcasm ).
