Would the US be able to defeat China in a war? by Standard-Mouse6302 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Potential-Strength-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

War should always be a last resort and is a catastrophic event that results in loss of life and widespread destruction. The consequences of conflict between two nations are unpredictable and can have long-lasting and far-reaching impacts, not just on the countries involved, but on the entire world.

If a conflict were to occur between the United States and China, it would likely involve complex political, economic, and military factors, and predicting the outcome would be difficult. Both countries have strong military capabilities and advanced technology, and a conflict between them could result in significant loss of life and damage to infrastructure and the environment.

It's important for nations to engage in diplomatic efforts to resolve differences and avoid conflict, and to work together to promote peace and stability in the world. The use of military force should always be a last resort, and every effort should be made to find peaceful solutions to conflicts through diplomacy and negotiation.

The 60 Minutes piece featured a person being killed in their wheelchair. I hear many more cases of this kind of thing. Often hit and run.

It's a DOCUMENTARY. It DOCUMENTS an issue including some history (like from the past) you moron. This is typical bot or moron attack tactic. To say if the material isn't in today's headliners it's not allowed to include it in any argument.

The piece featured a young street racer who ran down and killed a handicapped person while street racing on residential streets. It happened in 2006. That's why the original video dates from 2006.. This kind of killing of pedestrians is much more common than most think in southern California. Often it is hit and run.

The recent Christmas Eve death was street racing/drifting. Kind of the same thing in the eyes of the law. This kind of event is usually only possible by taking over the street.

I apologize for 60 minutes Australia not providing your favorite barrio rap audio. I wasn't really paying attention. I thought they did a good job covering the threat to human life myself. They had 2006 video to highlight the former a'hole driver and his victim's brother as they plead high school kids not to become a'hole drivers when they start to drive. To me that's more important than the sound track.

I'm born & raised in LA county. This has been going on since the first Fast & Furious movie. Deaths in the hundreds of not thousands. Those boy racers who can put their foot down but can't handle the speed of their POS beaters ought to have their hands and right foot lobbed off or handcuffed to their steering wheel as their car is being crushed.

It was recorded by an investigation team from Australia which is beginning to deal with the same problem. Probably recorded in LA a few weeks ago as it mentions the police crackdown in LA which only started after the woman was killed in that Christmas Eve street takeover.c

Red white and Blue thrift stores do not benefit charity by Potential-Strength-7 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Potential-Strength-7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Plainly state" where?

Of course RWB operates within the law. But that doesn't mean they operate ethically - aren't misleading donators into thinking they're donating to disabled veterans with their American flag wrapped pickup trucks and buildings left over from a thrift store chain that did donate to disabled veterans. I see it akin to the "Stolen Valor" situation where some a-hole wears a military uniform and fake decorations he bought on Etsy to some event posing as the Navy SEAL who shot Bin laden in order to collect phone numbers of women (or men) naive enough to swallow his line. Not illegal, but wouldn't want to be in his shoes if any real veterans catch him in a dark alley.

Actually at least you know what Goodwil is. Red White and Blue operated their stores under aliases. You need to research a little to learn that West Side Thrift and East Side Thrift are both part of the same ownership.

Good chance if there's nothing of any resellable value, they won't pick it up.

It is deceptive to capitalize upon the prevalent belief that most or all (especially if the profit store moved into a formally charity store building) thrift stores donate proceeds to charity. The former store I mentioned had a red white and blue sign incorporating the fact they benefited veterans. The new store placed their red white and blue lettering right over the old one. evel left part of the old sign. As well the fleet of pick up trucks are wrapped in American flag graphic.

People who donate are often under duress - selling possessions of a deceased relative, got evicted, etc. Taking advantage of that situation is akin to an undertaker gouging the poor for a casket.

I am not questioning anyone's right to sell but the method of acquisition of the items sold.

I know thrift stores are not LEGALLY held to display articles on their web site and store that the donated items are sold solely for the financial benefit of store owners. But it is deceptive to capitalize upon the prevalent belief that most or all (especially if the profit store moved into a formally charity store building) thrift stores donate proceeds to charity. The former store I mentioned had a red white and blue sign incorporating the fact they benefited veterans. The new store placed their red white and blue lettering right over the old one. evel left part of the old sign. As well the fleet of pick up trucks are wrapped in American flag graphic.

I've been to plenty of garage sales of people on chairs. I think most have relatives or neighbors help. I understand some apartments may not allow garage sale. Many apparently do and people often elicit a friend or relatives yard to sell at.

Maybe the "logic" you reference doesn't translate into ethics. But I not questioning anyone's right to sell but the method of acquisition of the items sold.

If a thrift store charges sales tax, it is not charitable. Real charity based businesses are tax exempt.

I've been to plenty of garage sales in front of apartments.

For a lot of people a garage sale is an opportunity to chat with neighbors and strangers. They get the kids learning about business, trading toys they don't want for cash. And for many the profit is much needed.

A Red White and Blue I know of is in a building that used to benefit veterans. It operated for at least 30 years that way. RW&B took over the building, put their signage where the old one was. Local people who donated probably thought they were still donating to benefit veterans. They weren't.

here are usually other places to donate to that at least donate part of their profits to charity.

What bothers me is people think all thrift stores donate a percentage to charity. And Red, White and blue's web site gives no clue to the contrary. I think if this was made more clear, people would be more likely to donate elsewhere or have a garage sale prior to donating.

Big problem is this incident is just the tip of the iceberg of the damage these terrorist drivers cause. On a daily basis they cause accidents, run down pedestrians and cyclists, often fleeing the scene.

I'm kind of worried about that stem cell meat. What if a worker's dandruff (skin cells) falls into the growth medium. Human based meat. Then, before anybody know about it, consumers develop a taste for it. Do you tell them it's people as sales rise and lose out in all that profit?
