People who worry about "communism" are lunatics. Since there is no such government in existence today (nor for the last few millenia), it's a non-issue.

It's far more relevant to worry about totalitarian powers that would invade Japan at the first chance (or, in the case of NK, try to…

VOR: you're a Libertarian now? I could swear I saw you claiming to be a Hillary supporter on another forum talking about how bad Obama was.

And a Ron Paul supporter on yet another forum saying how you supported Obama.

And... Well, it's like you are the most flexible of…

cleo: the time is coming. They have working electronic "paper" now. Once they get the tech improved enough, you might be able to do just that.

Surge, it's not "innocent until proven guilty". It never has been, and never will be.

McCain could lie his way out of a paper bag, assuming he was already outside it when he started.

Zybster, I live on planet Earth, in the 21st century. Maybe you could join us sometime?

Somehow managing to not commit rape and not commit armed robbery is hardly what any sane and rational person would call "ideal". It's what we call "duh, of course". Maybe your world is a…

NagoyaGaijin:

Being somewhat lower is not good enough. These are trained (allegedly) soldiers. They should have an extremely low rate of crime off-base. You should be able to count the percent on one hand, even if you have a couple fingers stuck up your butt.

screw working habits, take damn work out of the equation!

You try that, Einstein. The only reason DST is used is because of businesses. Farmers don't need it. Just try to reset a cow's internal clock.
