Kim Jong-un maybe still dont have enough firepower to threaten USA or any country outside that region but some day he will have it if something dont happen. There is thin or no chance north Koreans will overthrow his dynasty just like that so if other world leaders dont stop that madness there sooner or later it could escalate and become first class disaster.
How the world leaders are going to stop the "madness"? Invading North Korea is out of question, as they are having an active military strength of at least 700,000, in addition to some 3,500,000 reserve forces. Also, invading the DPRK won't be as easy as the past invasions of Iraq and Libya. The Korean People's Army is a much better fighting force, when compared to those in the other third world nations.

Merkel was right. Not enough of them. According to the reports, these criminals insulted and threatened several of the German policemen, who came to the scene to investigate about the incident. What is going on in Germany? Imagine what would have happened, had this incident occurred in the United States. The policemen are not that mild-natured there.

Interesting topic
I think Russia will win ww3
Why? Many nations hate West ideologies and they will do anything to stop the United States which means teamming up with Russia
If the WW3 happens, then no one will be able to achieve a conclusive victory. Russia is too huge to be conquered and the military technology of the United States is too advanced for anyone else to defeat them. But the human cost will be too much. See this: WW1: 17 million deaths. WW2: 80 million deaths. WW3: ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Zone 2 kilometers evacuated, No disclosure of what is released into the atmosphere and how toxic... 85 dead
They'll find more, the trouble is that the Chinese media can't publish anything without being censored. Same for social media, apparently any posts about deaths are being deleted instantly Even social media users will be having difficulty in getting accurate information. The entire area is cordoned off, and only military personnel and members of paramilitary formations are allowed inside. Likewise, ordinary people (including relatives of the dead) are being prevented from visiting the hospitals and morgues, where the bodies are kept.

No surprise here. Britain has been cutting the defense budget for many decades, to the point that its armed forces are barely capable of conducting warfare operations. It was not a Typhoon FGR4 vs SU-30MKI Flanker fight. By any measure, the Typhoon is a much better aircraft when compared to the Sukhoi MKI Flanker.

All turkey does in this situation is shrug their shoulders and put on a smug face. Kurdistan and the Kurds have been a thorn in Turkey's side for years, Turkey wouldn't be upset if thousands of kurds died. The Kurds are really stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Turkish air raids kill hundreds, if not thousands of Kurds (the vast majority of them civilians) every year. Erdogan and his AKP will be more than happy, if their allies (ISIS) join them in butchering the Kurds. There is only one solution to this. Create an independent and sovereign Kurdistan, with or without the permission from Turkey.

The Turks are the masters in conducting genocides without attracting international attention. If you have any doubt, then just ask the Armenians, Greeks, and the Assyrians. And there can be no better way to help the Islamic state, than bombing the Kurdish villages and killing the women and children when the men are away fighting the ISIS.

This is not going to work in the long term. The Turks will have to stop suppressing the Kurdish culture and language. The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) won more than 13% of the votes during the last election, and it's popularity is increasing. The more the Turks discriminate against the Kurds, the more it will strengthen the Kurdish unity.

Why don't they just offer $5000 for anyone who wants to to get sterilized.
Why will the welfare rats get themselves sterilized, when they can get $5,000 a year in child benefits? There are plenty of Mexican illegal immigrants in the United States, who survive solely on child benefit payments, after having a dozen children in the American soil. Also, this method has been tried before. But it was termed "racist". http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2008/09/24/29702/louisiana-sterilize/lol.. John LaBruzzo was intelligent. Pay $1,000 now, to avoid expenses of several hundreds of thousands of USD later. Why encourage the homeless and the criminals to have children, when it is almost certain that they will end up in the same situation as their parents? Unfortunately, as I can see it, LaBruzzo got his ass kicked by the RINOs.

Before Putin, it was free for all for Russians. After him the Oligarchs started paying taxes Putin is the example of how a leader should be
Exactly. Putin is just the polar opposite of Boris Yeltsin. Under Yeltsin, the ordinary people were starving and fleeing the country, while the oligarchs were accumulating their wealth through various dubious means. That changed when Putin came to power. The oligarchs started fleeing the country (Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.etc), while the living standards for the ordinary Russians improved.

How is this guy doing now?
Somewhat better, but still in a lot of trouble. His legal fees amounted to more than $100,000 (of that donations covered some 20%), and his personal computer and other assets were seized by the cops. I am not sure whether he will get a reimbursement of the legal expenses, and I don't know how much time it will take to get those assets and appliances back (including the $600 seized from his kid's piggy bank). Hope to hear from Burt regarding these issues.

Owning just 21 Bitcoins makes you one in a million. In my opinion, this is enough to be quote-on-quote Bitcoin rich.
Check the Distribution of bitcoin wealth by owner thread by Rpietila. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316297.0According to the latest stats published by him, some 349,000 people own Bitcoins (i.e more than BTC1). Out of that number, some 14,000 own more than BTC100. So owning 21 Bitcoins will not make you one in a million (if you take the total number of Bitcoiners).

Yes, I think affirmative action has ran its course but has done a lot of good in the earlier years where it did work. It is blatantly unconstitutional. You take it a little far though...
Taking jobs away from the deserving people and giving them to the less qualified can never result in anything good. If a government or a system discriminates against a particular ethnic group of religion, then those individuals who belong to that group will migrate to some other place. This has happened in places such as California and Detroit, resulting in the bankruptcy of these states / cities.

I don't think that this news is reliable. For long, the ISIS has used this type of gory and graphic videos to recruit psychopaths and mental patients from around the world. If they stop publishing these videos on their Twitter and YouTube accounts, then their recruitment drive will take a severe hit. And right now, they can't afford to do the same.

It can't make me smarter. Such stupid statements of studies just prove how fool and naive smokers are to believe these studies. I smoke weed some times and I felt becoming slower at my mental activity. I am sure weed is not for me...
The results are from a scientific study, which was conducted by well known researchers from around the world. And we are talking about the ability of marijuana to heal the wounds and fractures faster, and not about its ability to slow down the mental activity. There is a big difference between the two, in my humble opinion.

It will never work. More than 95% of the businesses and ventures within the United States are majority owned by the Non-Hispanic whites. If you are going to ban them, then they will simply pack their suitcases, and migrate to some other country (along with the businesses). The economy will collapse, and the unemployment rate will top 90%. Of course the capitalists will try to grab their toys and walk away. That's why the first act of the revolution will be to seize all the real assets! It will end up like the farms in Zimbabwe. Without quality people managing it, these businesses will go bankrupt in less than a year.

There is no billionaire who has enough money to repay all of Greek's debt. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I think Greece's best course of action is a default and to start afresh again. There is no single billionaire. But if we confiscate the wealth of all the Greek oligarchs, it will be enough to pay back all of the Greek debt.

The diplomats flying in the ill-fated MI-17 on Friday were headed for the inauguration of a ski chairlift, built in the breathtaking resort of Naltar, in northern Pakistan.
Incidents such as this will be interpreted by the Indians as foreign involvement in the disputed territory.

The OP obviously doesn't have much experience with women. I know plenty of gay and straight males, and some of the straight males I know go home with a different girl every night. The OP was probably comparing married heterosexual couple to married homosexual couple. It is quite rare to find multiple sexual partners among the married heterosexual couples. However, for the married homosexual couples, it has been the norm.
