This says it all. The largest business in the United States is its military and this has been the case for a very long time. Both parties vote for it and war is how it extracts its value. In this video, Trump specifically states that Spain is not going to pay like everyone else in Europe so they...

Me too. I think it’s been in place much longer than 45 years and I certainly wasn’t aware of it until the late 90s and early 2000s. I just don’t talk about it much because most people can’t (or are unwilling) to even consider it. I do think people are starting to look closer over the last 15...

So the US hit Iran and destroyed a mountain of nuclear development. Then the US mediates a cease fire between Iran and Israel. Immediately after the cease fire begins we have the following: My intuition says that Israel sent air strikes because nobody would start attacking immediately after...

Reminds me of something a friend of mine in the mental health industry would often say. “My pain is greater than your pain, because it’s happening to me.” That always made me laugh, but then I thought, maybe her pain was more because she had to listen to everyone else’s pain every day and that...

Probably as much as any of us.

@AngelineIsTyping - The beauty of that which is INFJ often comes from their awkwardness and exclusion from social interactions. This exclusion is both forced upon them and desired by the excluded yet it provides them with a rare perspective that few people can comprehend. I personally believe...

A metaphor between a king and his clothes used to demonstrate the dichotomization of truth and illusion. I like the way you illustrated it with your words and enjoyed reading what you said. Thank you for sharing.

Stephen A. And First Take Reiterates [what I’ve been saying] They gave excellent perspective on the Thunder but still fell back on the buying mentality. That Stephen (a NY first media) was propping OKC, Houston, and Dallas made me smile. Take a look and decide for yourself:

Alex Caruso was the Difference “He’s the guy every team want during playoffs, not because he’s flashy or puts up big stats but because his unselfish play make him valuable.” His work ethic made him loved by the greatest players and the fans love him because it is visible when hard work...

Coming Full Circle This thread was dedicated to comparing the Oakland A’s epic rebuild in Major League Baseball to the OKC Thunders rebuild in the National Basketball Association. The A’s fell short because they didn’t win the championship but they proved a point where things could be different...

The Proof is in the Pudding When I said that the Thunder would change basketball if they won in a small market with home grown players I meant it, but there has to be some proof if we are to confirm that the, “change,” is in fact true in its statement. Every team now knows that a...

Parade Day in OKC Collectively they elevated theirselves and the team. In the process they transformed professional basketball into something new and elevated a city. Naturally, a parade was in order. Love this state. Sam Presti took a few solid pieces combined it with a strategy and...

Thank you for sharing the information. I did do some research and I’ve looked at several books of similar content. I finally had to put it away and just let it all go. When I was working on my undergraduate work I took Japanese and went to several of the functions with expatriates, teachers...

The rules of engagement also state where engagement is considered to be acceptable. You might say that I take it a little personal because my grandfather was out there on a navy ship that was bombed. His back was broken and his entire life was spent in a handicapped state. So, it directly...

The US was not engaged in WW2 when they were bombed. This made the attack on the people not just a military base. Just because it is a military base does not make the people there any less a citizen of the country. If the US was at war and had engaged Japan with warfare then perhaps it could be...
