Re: Why does the US get ripped on so much?
Deterrence theory was created before religious terrorism was really a thing but it incorporates it pretty well. To be a credible nuclear threat, there is a lot of power, money, and infrastructure to be had. Usually, in the course of having that, a person gets used to being in charge. Once a person gets power, they tend to look to their own self preservation and avoid doing things that would invite certain destruction for their state.o.pwuaioc wrote:And no one ever has killed himself for an ideology.Flake wrote:Nah, that won't happen.

When was the last time that a wealthy person volunteered for a zeal based suicide mission? Rich folk tend to send the poor to die - and the poor tend not to have nuclear weapons. We're good.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Probably because the "classical" man and the "classical" woman isn't an appealing character. Work fuck and abuse wasn't exactly the ideal husband.elmagicochrisg wrote:And I think I need an American girl. One that doesn't act like a man and still wants to get married and stuff.

And I wont' judge others for liking classical women, but since my female ancestors survived 3 wars, ethnic cleansing, escaping rape at the last minute, bombing runs, famine, poverty, civil war, without men by their side and children to care of, having a woman who depends on me seems like a downgrade to me.

And that obviously has nothing to do with the fact that marrying a man and then divorcing him can be a fairly profitable business in Americaelmagicochrisg wrote:And I think I need an American girl. One that doesn't act like a man and still wants to get married and stuff.

I just want men to be men, and women women. That is NOT the case anymore. At least not where I live...
I'd like to call it feminism gone wrong...
I'm not into loose relationships. And finding a serious woman seems to be Mission Impossible here...
Well, I guess our countries have that in common then...Menegrothx wrote:And that obviously has nothing to do with the fact that marrying a man and then divorcing him can be a fairly profitable business in Americaelmagicochrisg wrote:And I think I need an American girl.

At least this time your theater of war is on the other side of the world so we'll be somewhat spared from the nuclear war.MrPopo wrote:Everyone who thinks deterrance is foolproof has to watch Dr. Strangelove.
You have to feel bad for all those island nations in Asia though.

Just had a look at this article here. Doesn't sound bad...
