Well, if you believe that, and I think it's fairly apparent that we will soon be financially forced to rein in the military expense, then what is your issue with what DE said?
 
Housing starts dropped 10%, the largest drop in over a year as the second round of new home credits ended last month.

I won't take a position on that because I don't honestly know which way would be better. However, I am confident that with emerging technologies, we can better sustain the growing Earth populus and reduce our impact on it - renewable energies are emerging, products are being more compostable, better systems for farming, etc. If we had 6 billion people living on earth in the 1920's, we'd have a problem as technology for food growth, mass transport of goods, more efficient energy solutions didn't exist or only partially existed.

The fact that you assert that the best way for the Earth to continue on is to kill off a couple billion people is truly, in my opinion, the stupidest thing I've ever read. And if you think that chemical and biological weapons wouldn't have impacts on the environment either, then that is just as bad as well.

And for the record, your comments make you out to support genocide because billions aren't going to die if we just stopped giving aid.

As for the imploding of countries, it's a natural occurence through history. If the economy keeps up as it is, we could see some completely collapse within a few years.
 
glad im in school right now and dont have to deal with this shit for another few years...once the stimulus money runs out there's gonna be some problems
 
I'd be interested to see what was spent on the housing credit. I bet it was one of the better stimulus programs. My agent explained how it was stimulating the investors to buy, then renovate or repair, whatever needed to be done(causing them to buy materials needed, pay painters, carpenters etc), , and resell which got mortgage companies and banks involved too.
 
Military expense isn't really the point of his argument, and it's not that point that I have a problem with. It's more of the fact that he favors immediate pullout of our troops/ending of aid even if it costs billions of lives (even at the hands of biological and chemical weapons) and starts another world war.

It's just filled with too many logical fallacies. But I digress. This thread has been hijacked.
 
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? Ridden on a horse?
King Arthur: Yes!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You're using coconuts!
King Arthur: What?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Where'd you get the coconuts?
King Arthur: We found them.
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
King Arthur: What do you mean?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Well, this is a temperate zone
King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
