My point is that it goes up almost every year. Almost every commodity does. It seems superfluous to start a thread about record gas prices when all gas prices ever do is go up.
You said First World 'status', not 'living standard'. Big difference. This thread is about superpower status, not standard of living. Or does one not have to follow the thread's topic here at Freeones?
I hope there is one. I hope I fight in it and die in it. And I hope it's the last war ever and teaches the survivors what honor and life are really all about.
What do you mean 'cannot'? They already have. Their total GDP is #2 in the World. It's almost bigger then #3 & #4 combined. They're per person GDP is still far below America's. But this thread is about China's superpower status. And China IS a superpower.
I agree they are on pace to be #1 in GDP in about 30-35 years. But 2 problems. One is that they are still far too repressive. As the people get more power they will get sick of being so controlled. Will it get resolved peacefully? Two is that there are not nearly enough young women for all of...
Agreed.
He is on the 'Zone Diet'. Sounds useless to me for losing weight. Especially if you don't work out. Lots of fat and protein (which turns into fat if not used).
Whatever the reason; CONGRATS!!!
In many cases, sure. But I think Viagra just helps horny guys with Erectile Dysfunction get a hard on when previously they couldn't. Now guys that wanted to fuck their secretaries but couldn't get it up, now can.
But then, I am a cynic. ;)
And that reminds me of something else. American's have got to stop thinking there are enemies everywhere. This paranoia since 9/11 is destroying much of what made America great. America's greatest enemy right now is fear.
Because people often misrepresent themselves. How does he know that this 17 year old isn't just a bored 14 year old? Or a very fat older woman who likes chatting to young guys? Or a lonely housewife?
Until you actually meet her SimonMK, I would be more skeptical.
The day America's neo-conservatives decided to find a new enemy to replace Communism, instead of powering down the US military infrastructure after the Cold War was won, was the beginning of the end of the World's love of America.
Hollywood portrays that they can, but it's bullshit. If you are not very good looking, rich, powerful or incredibly confident then you have almost no chance of dating a sane, gorgeous woman. Especially if she knows she is gorgeous.
Actually, though not fully 'stealthy', the SR-71 Blackbird was shaped as it was for many stealth reasons and had a much smaller radar cross section then it's size would suggest.
Most human beings will instinctively do whatever it takes to stop being afraid. And almost always they will over react. That is why private citizens should not have access to a *** when they are afraid. It is a lethal ***** weapon.
A person can fight off almost any conceivable attacker with...
Yes
Yes, more then once.
None of your business.
Correct. I will defend myself. But not with deadly *****. To **** for selfish reasons is always wrong. And to protect those you love and need for happiness is selfish. To protect those who mean nothing to you is noble. That is why police and...
It sure DOES look cool.
BTW, apparently the plane was supposed to be painted a blue colour (I think) because the scientists found that it was the best color for night flying. But the Air ***** thought black looked better. So, they were painted black.
