  1. This was not a stealth aircraft. It was not designed to be invisible to radar, it was just a happy accident that its profile and wood construction reduced its radar signature. Also, the B-2 had little to do with the German flying wing. They were two entirely different aircraft, the idea of a flying wing predates both such aircraft.

  2.  @Exestential40  Blame their government for punishing those trying to warn people of an outbreak. They don't care if thousands die, all they care about is controlling the flow of information.

  4. the united states's weapons are far superior to north korea's. the M1 abrams tank could curb stomp a dozen imported pieces of crap without a problem. only modern tanks like the t-90, challanger 2, leopard 2, the new armata, and a handful of other main battle tanks could stand against it. our aircraft would easily wipe the floor with the north korean warfare, we have more F-22 raptors than north korea has fixed wing fighter aircraft total, and the F-22 can single handedly kill several enemy fighters without being detected. just a couple of america's aircraft carriers alone could bring an end to the conflict within days, if not hours.

  9. if north korea had T-90s, they might stand a chance, but the majority of their armored core consists of older soviet era vehicles that simply cannot stand against the abrams.

  13. Every single recession in US history was either directly caused by or worsened by government policy. Giving the government more power over the economy will lead to starvation like in so many other socialist countries.

  14. the frontal armor of an M1 abrams is sufficiently strong to resist fire from a 120mm anti tank gun firing high velocity fin stabilized discarding sabot anti tank ammunition. the only way anything less powerful than a 125mm cannon that has a snowball's chance (and even that is hypothetical, the M1 may well be resistant to the 125mm) of getting through it's armor is if they flank the tank and hit it in it's weaker side or rear armor, and even it's side armor is pretty strong. most of the few times M1s were disabled in combat was when they were struck in their sides and read by friendly fire from powerful 120mm cannons mounted on other tanks.

  15. honestly, of the three nations that are a possible threat to the US, only russia would come close, and they wouldnt have any real reason to attack us, and vice versa. even if china or north korea were, the US has the most powerful navy by far, the largest and most technologically advanced air force, and one of the most heavily mechanized and modern ground forces in the world.

  16. with our shitty corrupt government? yeah, the US is major a threat to itself. granted, ours is not nearly as corrupt as some countries, even some other first world countries, but it isnt pretty.

  17. because stupid US leaders. politicians keep wanting to use the military to stick their noses in places where we really shouldnt be, and so everyone hates the US. the worst thing we've done to other countries in recent memory is kill extremist militant groups, causing some civilian casualties along the way in the name of freedom, while also being motivated by political and economic reasons. and by we, i mean the soldiers commanded by officers commanded by the government, controlled by politicians who dont necessarily speak for the people anymore.

  29. One's home is the one place they should feel safe. You should never be punished for defending yourself in your own home. For that matter, if you have been the victim of repeated robberies and the police have done nothing to help, you shouldn't be punished for defending your property. Say what you will about life being more valuable, people have had their livelihoods destroyed by thieves and vandals with no respect for property or common decency.

  31. Yes, the US carriers are larger, better protected, have better force projection capabilities, and are designed to be integrated with all of the latest weapon and defensive systems. yes, the QE is smaller and uses somewhat outdated technologies (non nuclear propulsion and lacks directed energy weapon capabilities,) but Britain doesn't need a whole fleet of massive floating fortresses. Britain is a smaller nation with powerful allies, and usually refrain from becoming entangled in a large number of wars, and their ship was designed less for projecting huge amounts of force across the globe, and more for defending their interests in a select few high value regions. The reduced range of the non-nuclear propulsion, the smaller aircraft capacity, and the comparatively basic weapon systems are acceptable for a vessel belonging to a country in the UK's position.

  32. honestly, while this may very much have occurred in the past, such a blatant violation of civil rights is unlikely to occur in the future as we continue towards a world where inequality is becoming a more commonly talked about and acted upon issue. while i in no way intend to disvalue the struggles of oppressed women, past or present, most developed countries treat both genders with at least a basic level of dignity, although their individual expectations may vary.

  33. Zelus Amadeus I plan to do something similar. I would like to have a pet (a cat), but cats are relatively low maintenance. I don't plan to travel much, but I can still have fun. There is a paintball field 30 minutes away from where I live, and plenty of hiking trails less than an hour away. I also enjoy video games and movies, which can be enjoyed at home for free or close to it (assuming I put 80 hours into a game I bought for $40, that's 0.50 per hour of fun). Many movies can be streamed for free. A meal at a restaurant may cost upwards of $20, but I can make a balanced and tasty meal at home for less than $5. I do not plan on having children any time soon, if ever. I am passively searching for a significant other, but I make it clear to anyone who I have been with that children are an expense that I am not ready for yet. Yes, I know having children is a unique experience that can't be understood by someone who doesn't have them, but not people with children seem strangely ignorant to the fact that some people just do not want them, at least for a while.

  35. the saddest part of this disaster is that nuclear power is no longer seen as a valid option by most people due to the risk it poses. despite nuclear power technically being much less harmful and safer overall than fossil fuels, it will never be aloud to grow to it's full potential due to the perceived danger being much larger than the real danger. this hurts us in many more ways than we realize. it prevents us from moving away from fossil fuels and saving the environment long term damage. it halts nuclear research that could (and indeed already has) found new, safer and much more efficient forms of nuclear power. perhaps least relevant to the modern day yet most important to the long term survival of humanity and intelligent life is that without nuclear powered space craft such as the orion style nuclear pulse drive, we will be confined to our own planet. the only intelligent life that we know for sure exists in the universe could be wiped out in a freak accident because we're too afraid to utilize the greatest power we have ever known to save ourselves rather than destroy.

  38. i has iq ov 138 butt i knows that iq test are dum it is flawed reasoning to assume that a simple test designed to measure the competence of french schoolchildren could be adapted to measure the overall intelligence of everyone with great accuracy over a wide range of subjects. while one may conclude that i possess superior intellect based on the test, it is more sensible to recognize that the test was likely too specialized and that while i had the necessary tools to pass it easily, in turn, i lack the social intelligence necessary to interact normally with many other individuals. one could also chalk that up to introversion, and a preference for discussions about spacecraft propulsion and the construction of dyson spheres over the weather and celebrities. if you open our conversation by asking how my day has been going, don't expect that conversation to last long.

  39. Honestly, the difference between a modern carbine and an assault rifle is negligible. Carbines tend to be slightly more compact, and... well, yeah, that's about it.

  40. congratulations. if i learn the right skills, meet the right people, say the right things, and actually get an opportunity to show my potential, one day i may be as successful as you. i just recognize that it's not easy to succeed in this world, and that most people don't. i don't want to fall into the trap of thinking that i'm somehow special and will succeed where the vast majority have failed. i'm good at some things, sure, but there are plenty of others who are better at what i can do.

  41. intelligence doesn't mean a damn thing. success is completely a different thing, and people of complicated thoughts are rarely interesting to or interested in conversing with others focused on more... trivial... things. intelligence does not make me superior to others, just different from them. our accomplishments distinguish us, and i have few of note. 1. yeah, i'm pretty open to new ideas, but am also cautious about them unless i have heard them from multiple sources 2. checks clock shit... 6.36 AM 3. i love, LOVE to talk with people who don't start conversations with remarks about the weather or how my day has been 4. actually i quite like to vomit out words, and am actually somewhat adapt at simplifying grand concepts sufficiently to be understood by most 5. i haven't had a haircut in 4 months, and away from work wear cheap shorts and t-shirts almost exclusively. i spend little time on my appearence 6. i love learning about the systems behind things that most people don't question 7. bad with directions, can't remember names, have locked my keys in my truck no less than 4 times in 6 months 8. this is related to #1, i'm open to new ideas, and that includes the idea that my idea might not be the only valid one 9. only if it's something that i enjoy. i lack focus on things i find boring and trivial such as work, meals and... eh, i'm too lazy to think of a third. arguably that's because i'm still focused on the things i want to focus on. 10. really? i've heard that most geniuses are cynics, and i thought myself in the minority for being genuinely happy despite expecting and preparing for everything to go wrong. woo, this was less of a waste of my time than that personality test i keep telling myself...

  45. there are a lot of things that women have a harder time with in the world, but one of the worst parts about being a guy is that no one can ever think to see you as a victim. trying to convince someone of the fact that you have been wronged (especially in a sexual manner) will have everyone see you as less of a man.

  46. The US armed forces are kind of ridiculous. Even the standard units have superior training and equipment to many of the world's special forces units, while also maintaining the largest navy, air force and army by far. (Technically, there are larger armies in pure manpower, but this is a poor indicator of overall strength.) The US has a huge number of special forces units, with the marines arguably being the largest and best equipped special forces unit in the world, overshadowing many nation's entire militaries all on it's own. I won't claim that there aren't some other very, very highly trained and elite units from other nations, because there very definitely is, but the US military being compared to the rest of the world is still something like putting the Imperium of Man (Wh-40k) into the star wars universe. Nobody else even comes close on quantity, and few approach the same level of quality either.

  47. Whether you think they are good or not, taxation is extortion. Taxation is people with guns taking a portion of your income under threat of force. This is exactly how the mafia operates, and like the mafia, you have absolutely no choice in the matter. They promise to "protect" you, or offer you some kind of service, but in practice, most of that money is spent on crime such as funding lavish lifestyles for the mafia elites, funding gang wars between different governments, and finding new, expensive ways to punish those who don't comply with their demands.

  48. budgets are for people who are crap with money, which honestly is most of us. saving money is much, much easier if you need little to live a happy life. spend what you must on the bare essentials and no more. focus on spending money on cheap forms of entertainment. travel to historical sites is expensive, watching videos and reading E-books about history and the like is not. movie tickets are expensive, but video games can provide many more hours of entertainment per purchase for only a slightly higher entry fee (not including the cost of a computer with competent hardware, which many people own anyways.)

  53. is all of this really that rare? i thought most of this stuff was normal among modern families. i was born in 1998 and have had most of these as punishments at some point. the only ones i haven't had happen to me are the bringing poop to school, and tying up. well, also, my belongings were never shot, but i did have some of my books and other belongings burned or sold, including ones i paid for with money i earned working odd jobs.

  54. While I was originally skeptical of the limited number of defensive weapons carried by the new class of carrier, you need to keep in mind that not only will this ship likely be escorted by a significant fleet, but it will also soon be augmented by advanced weaponry such as lasers and railguns once these weapons are finally ready for deployment. Also, if these carriers are built as durable as I suspect they are, it's quite likely that they could survive a couple of hits from anti ship missiles.

  55. My state government has deemed that if I can't down an attacker in 10 rounds then I deserve to die. I have a Ruger 9mm which should have 15 rounds in a magazine, but have to use specially limited magazines which only hold 10 due to state ordinances. Naturally, all the cops and criminals can however many rounds they want in their magazines, but ordinary law abiding citizens like me are limited to 10.

  56. how to avoid another american civil war: 1. promote moderation on both sides of the political spectrum instead of extremism. the internet makes it easy for extremists to find evidence to further their points of view, governing algorithms behind sites such as youtube and google could be modified to promote less biased opinions over heavily biased ones. 2. institute a universal basic income. this system would replace unemployment financial aid, and would allow jobless americans to survive without removing any incentive to seek a job. universal basic income is essentially government financial aid that is not lost upon finding a job. 3. continue to protect freedom of speech. any effort made to limit freedom of speech will cause public outcry and further divide sides against one another.
