The military itself isn't that large, (numbers wise), it's rather the spending on technologies that we don't need, or rather don't use since there are not enough people there to use them. For every five normal soldiers in the United States military there is one officer, that is another one of the overbalanced parts of the military.
good point! we spend fucking half a billion on a single F-22 that only holds one bomb and has to fly low to drop it when we could have simply used the venerable and inexpensive b-52 bombers that fly high and can drop dozens of accurate, JDAMS.
fucking assholes in the military sound a little shady

You see these days the problem with the military is its bloated budget, if it's going to be fixed we need to cut down on spending money for weaons that will not be used or even seen, and if you are to fix the militaries problems with so little staff they should slowly withdraw from the war and try to build some of the credibilty they lost with the past five "conflicts."
We're building submarines and aircraft carriers to fight the war on terror.

To meet current needs in Iraq and Afghanistan our military is in fact too small. by a lot. probably the only thing that will keep us outta Iran is a draft would be required. Iran is 3 times the size (geographicly and in population) of Iraq and the people are far more unified (very high percentage Shia, not the problem 'islamo-fascist' wahabbi sunni asswipes). an invasion of Iran would be a complete fucking disaster because our military is far too small.
also, we're looking ahead to China.

The problem is with these damn kids in the government these days is that they think that a war can be won by throwing money at it, money and lots of technological mumbo-jumbo. Well, the only way to win a real mans war is to throw lots of warm bodies at it. Throwing lots and lots of people at the problem is sure to solve it.

america's military is designed to take on other "real" army's but countrys no longer solve their problems with wars they use trade and economics to fuck others over. "wars" are only started against much inferiour states to prove a point or to nonja some oils.
most of america's military is obsolete especially the marine corps and army, aswell as most of the navy. to fight the wars of today a reasonable air force, a few aircraft carriers. small army and alot more special forces. whereas the US currently has a fucking huge navy, fucking huge airforce, fucking huge army and a fucking huge bill. and i dont think anyone can say its working out for them?
this is all very true. why hasn't any presidential candidate said this i wonder?

We have relatively small military forces, just a lot of high tech useless equipment. I do agree that we need to cut down to just the Navy the Airforce and the Marines. Create an armored division for the new joint task force maybe?

I'm Australian. We're fucked if we ever get invaded, even by indonesia or malaysia. So I can't see why we bother either. Especially when Russia/US/China/others (in that order of proliferation) have 1000s of nukes either way. The Australian army is only good for dealing with crises and in a diplomatic capacity (e.g. guarding Japanese engineers, kissing US ass)

a single hurricane can cool the temperature of the water in the Gulf of Mexico by 10F. That's a shitton of water so the energy difference is tremendous.
Think of it this way... imagine running a mile while holding a gallon of water. now imagine running 2000 miles, except you're carrying 100 trillion gallons. that's the energy in a small hurricane.
Define truth. Then you can ask why nobody seems to speak it.

not true...a nuclear weapon is now the most destructive force on the plannet they have new bombs stronger then the h bomb just to let you know and they have enough h bombs to destroy the entire plannet its not the actuall force of the bomb that wil destroy the plannets surface but in fact the ammount we NOW have is tremoundous.

there are not enough nuclear weapons to actually destroy the earth, but there are enough to wipe out over 90% of living things. the explosive power isn't the reason, it's the radiation.
>>46
radiation damages DNA. there is only so much damage each cell can survive. insects are not particularly different from other eukaryotes, especially non-mammals, in their DNA repair abilities.
damaged DNA cannot code for the proteins needed to catalyse the chemical reactions of life, and cannot replicate, so the cell dies.
this is all a roundabout way of saying, "you're a fucking retard."

more simple organisms have a greater chance of survival, for example if a humans heart is irradiated the whole person dies where as is 1 backteria is it doesnt affect any others, but all DNA is suseptable to radiation damage

Humans are larger and more exposed, they also don't have the habit of living under rocks and in caves or needing several times their body weight in food and water a year. There are also trillions of insects of all different kinds consisting of more biomass than vertebrates. Species of cockroaches living in caves for instance could survive for years eating their dead ancestors for years and algae.
in fact, wtf does anything you wrote have to do with reality? most insects live at or above ground, eat several times their body weight weekly, and their biomass has nothing to do with ability to not die from radiation poisoning.

THE NEGRO
Of all the mass imbecilities which have demoralised mankind, this of racial equality between all peoples, White, Black, Red and Yellow, is the most inane. Politically, it has already stirred up all the minor races into a state of belligerence and discontent which will impose minor wars on the dominant nations for years to come. But when it comes to racial integration between the White and Black races, sanity has descended to the looney bin of the impossible, because the intermixture of blood between those races must degrade the White race to the level of the Negro and cannot raise the Negro to the level of the White. Where today we see some evidence of the effect of education on the Negro it is the White blood in him that stirs some animation in his sluggish mental faculties, but the Negro pure, as he exists in Africa, cannot be educated even up to the standard of the lowest content of the White race. He may learn to parrot all the political and sociological clichés of today, but unless he is buttressed by the White race, and policed by it, he must relapse back to the jungle, which is his predestined habitat.
There appears to be an illusion today that this age is the first one in which the Negro has come into contact with a White civilisation, and so had a chance to benefit by its cultural and sociological ordinances. This is not the case. Since the genesis of this present civilisation some six or seven thousand years ago, the Negro has had contact with many past episodes of civilisation, but always, as each subsided, he has relapsed back to the jungle. The other three races, White, Yellow and Red, have devised their own civilisations, and have maintained them through the ages, but it is only in quite recent years that the Negro has come into relations with them. As in the past, his status has been one of slavery, because he has never been able to compete culturally with their achievements in the arts and crafts and intellectual standards. Nor can he compete today with those same achievements, because he utterly lacks the creative faculty: he has no thumbs. The only thing he ever learned to do was to smelt iron ore and hammer out his spear heads. That weapon was essential to the preservation of his existence in his tribal wars, and his food derived from wild animals able to defend themselves with teeth and claws.
Save for the Chinese, and other Asiatic peoples, all other civilisations were generated on the shores of the Mediterranean and the Negro penetration of them was very slight, except, perhaps, with the Egyptians, who were themselves a dark coloured race, but with no relation to the Negroid peoples. Only the Moors and Arabs, because of their geographical contiguity with Africa, have kept up the slave trade with Negroes, but sexual union with them was strictly prohibited. Or impossible for that matter. By a very simple clinical ritual, the Negro became a harmless guard and menial to the Harem. It is only since the colonisation of Africa by the British, Dutch, French and Belgian peoples that the Negro has become a momentous world problem within the last two decades. The British, French and Belgian peoples solved it for themselves by handing their colonies over to the Negroes. The Dutch could not do that. They had been so long in South Africa that they had built up another white race there—the Boers. And there, the world may be assured, they will remain, and the Negro will not be permitted racial equality with them. What must happen shortly between those peoples is already predestined. The only other country on which the full weight of the Negro falls is America.
And the Politician’s solution to it of race integration is a desperation measure which never can succeed, as the politicians themselves know, but at present, they dare not do anything about it, for President Johnson won the presidential campaign by handing himself over to the largest section of the community to command the vote, just as Roosevelt did to capture the presidential chair. We know that section, which is the pestilential problem of all peoples who seek to keep a sane balance of rationality in the conduct of their political and sociological affairs. In Australia, we call them Wowsers—a stigma word which Mencken incorporated in his American Language, but as yet Americans have not adopted it. A stigma word has great power.
In America the Wowser is the self-elected Dogooder—the temperance crank, the Purity Leaguer, the anti-saloon leaguer, the Comstock bookshop smasher and picture slasher; in short, that chapel product of the cheap suburbs and the rural back blocks which seeks to impose its own horrible codes and doctrines on all that makes life tolerable for well constituted humanity. They are the people who imposed Prohibition on America and very nearly wrecked the country. In Russia, they were largely responsible for the Revolution by cutting off the people’s need for liquor during the 194 war. They are the Pacifists—the peace at any pricers, the appeasers at any threat of war which thereby makes it inevitable by inviting aggression from piratically inclined nations. They are today trying to cripple Johnson’s handling of the Viet Nam war: the finest piece of statecraft since the great days of England as a world power, when half a dozen words from Lord Salisbury was enough to send Russia scuttling back from the Oxus. It is a great pleasure to know that our men are fighting with the Yanks, and that more are being trained to follow, if needed.
It is the Wowser, then, to use one stigma term for a generic type common to America, England, and Australia, who is doing all the mischief today by inflating the Negro with a state of megalomania which convinces him that he is the victim of monstrous injustice by the white peoples, and all revenges on them are his by right of martyrdom. And that revenge he will take whenever he has power to do so.
We must concede him injustice so far in that the Whites have invaded his country and taken possession of large sections of it. In the past, they made a commodity of him in the slave market. Those same Whites have now handed back to him the sections of country they had occupied and have freed him from slavery. Justice can go no further than that.
But America, swung off a sane balance of rationality by the maudlin sentimentality of the Wowsers for the assumed sad lot of the Negroes, has allowed its politicians to establish them in equal civil and social rights with the Whites. They have ordained that the white children must consort intimately with the black offspring from infancy to adolescence, and that alone insures sexual intimacy between the two races. That American mothers—always so passionately possessive over their young—should have allowed them to do such a noxious thing is evidence that they are too dazed by the bulldozing tactics of the politicians to realise its inevitable consequences. It is assumed that education will dispose of the physiological compulsions inherent in all such propinquity of the human species.
Education! This age has become besotted over its assumed potentialities to perform a universal miracle, which is that text books alone can create a civilisation. It ignores the irrefutable evidence that only a civilised mind can be educated. Education is nothing more than a procedure for exercising intellectual faculties which are a content of the mind at birth. It has taken the white race six thousand years to develop those special faculties on which all civilisations have been built. The craftsman’s fingers, the musician’s ear, the artist’s hand and eye, the scientist’s investigation of all natural phenomena are inherited from progenitors who have left behind them the brain cells, and the muscular reflexes essential to all creative effort. And it is now assumed that education, in a generation or two, will allow the wretched Negro to develop those special faculties and so allow him to compete on equal terms with the White race as a civilised being. Imbecility can go no further than such a preposterous assumption.
Already the Negro mass is in a vicious state of resentment because it has not straightway been vested in all the rights and privileges of the Whites. The Los Angeles episode is a sufficient evidence of a universal state of mind among the Negroes. And that is only the beginning of the trouble. When he finds that the higher-class whites will not consort with him on equal terms, and that there is no place for him among the trained working class, no police force in the world will be adequate to control him.
Americans are not a docile people when politicians impose arbitrary interdictions on the free conduct of their civic rights and their private lives. The politicians’ failure to inflict Prohibition on the American people is evidence of what they must expect by this proposal to impose racial integration with the Negroes on them. It only required an adjustment of the legal code to dispose of Prohibition, but no such adjustment can solve the Negro problem for them. There is only one possible solution to that, but I am not going to take it on myself to suggest it. It must be already pregnant in the minds of all higher class American thinkers today.
