Waterfall··on Low-income housing has no impact on nearby home values (2016)
My point is the government never really pays, we pay the government after all, but I understand your point too.

All you need is one bad student to distract the class. That effect is not small.

They are it's just not obvious. Most of the budget never reaches the students and the teachers. I think 80% goes to administration or something usually. Very bad. Both schools may be getting the same amount of money but one will spend more on students and teachers. Some need metal detectors. One class clown or disturbance is all it needs to fuck up the whole teaching environment.

Only if you believe 1996-2006 is impartial information 14 years later and not cherry picked

Who's gonna pay for it? The government? How do they get money? Taxes? So we pay the government (they of course pay the federal employees and some pork barreling) to pay for affordable housing? In the end who will really pay for it aside from the people who will live in affordable housing?

The idea of low income housing is itself ridiculous. Why are there no low income Porsches? There's plenty of places that don't need affordable housing because housing is affordable without the government tearing the fabric of the free market. Lots of places that didn't have affordable housing didn't overinvest in houses like Texas where the houses remained stable compared to the heavily populated areas with high density.

Just encourage earthquakes and building on unstable ground. it works in Japan.
Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
I asked you 2 questions and you do nothing but rant about everything else, subjects that could have been brought up respectfully but instead are rammed down like font vomit. Do you actually expect me to read or treat any of your supposed facts with any respect after you constantly contradict yourself, insult anyone who disagrees and rant about subjects others aren't even talking about? Who cares what a rude person says?
Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
30 years? Wass humanity singing kumbaya before? Try over all of human civilization, like you said endlessly. Calling war endless isn't uncivil but being insulting and rude is, and if you don't understand the difference I have no obligation to answer to your justifications for endless, evil flame wars.

But that's not what you said.

You said militaries don't construct, they destroy. You can't have a society without a military. You should review your posts before ranting incoherently and contradicting yourself constantly.

Aside from painting all military units as psychopaths you might want to understand why you feel the need to hate America, when all militaries are combatants. All is fair in love and war, there is not one military that is innocent of crime nor any people or nation.

Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
>Yes. It does not build society - it destroys it.

Then why does every society have a military?

I don't know what your problem is, but when you spend all your time ignoring questions, insulting others, and expecting them to read your angry wall of text, you're wrong.
Waterfall··on Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
I heard the opposite, where people like those who tried and failed, which is why trump's failures were seen as good. Its better to try and fail than never try.
Waterfall··on Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
Kodak could have been first with the digital camera. They failed the first point.
Waterfall··on Why companies lose their best innovators (2019)
I'm surprised you didn't mention Bell Laboratories at all. They innovated a lot, and created a ton of stuff including Claude Shannon's paper and a lot of the technology today we use.

Boeing I would say has a lot to learn from SpaceX.

>If someone has great ideas, we should invest in the person not in their employer.

But what if the employer is investing? This talks about how corporations dismiss good ideas, but large ones like Bell fostered it. Not sure if Apple had some innovators leave, but if they did, I haven't heard of them.

The US did that to prevent another war, after 2 world wars who would have though Europe was responsible enough for itself? NATO has been the reason why there has been such lasting peace.

>This is the modus operandi of a bully, an invader, an exploiter - certainly not that of a protector.

So America plundered Japan and Germany? If they actually invaded them and overtook them they'd be part of the US now. The US saved the world from another world war, and they are the bullies? You can make a case out of some but NATO has been good for most of the world.

Doesn't really matter when they use booming housing prices from over a decade ago to justify their cooked statistics.

>Why do I have an obligation to answer to your justifications for endless, evil war?

Is this how you respond civilly, by saying you have no obligation and rudely making a hyperbole?

Waterfall··on Icelandair letting go its flight attendants and shifting their duties to pilots
What do you mean? I remember the pre 9/11 days, and they were fun. I was a kid that would sit with the pilots on the jumbo jets and take pictures with them and the flight attendants, who would give me extra tomato juice. Didn't happen after 9/11 though.
Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
I simply asked 2 questions:

How do you think the US was founded?

Where would the US be without it's military?

You are avoiding it, not me.

Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
No idea, I think it still does. I doubt kids are being indoctrinated by it, its a ritual like lighting incense, we remember the ritual but not why or the context. Only now when people complain about it do I realize it had no effect on my patriotism. I didn't learn what a republic was for most of the years. What does one nation under god mean? No idea still.

>It seems to me like the whole thing is a choreographed process to show impressionable youngsters who lack self respect that they will be respected by society if they wage war on its behalf.

We all had to do the pledge of allegiance in high school every day. You may see that as an adult, but after doing it for over a decade I was just saying we-puppet instead of republic and never understood what it meant or cared. It was just a habit, like saying death to america or something.

Civility?

To your post I can reply that ducks have very long corkscrew penises, which has nothing to do with your post and is what you're also doing when you reply. Discussions happen when people are speaking to each other not one ranting at a question.

Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
No its not. The people of these countries would rather have a dictator who brought stability than chaos. That is true worldwide, for example in Russia. There is hardly a country with constant anarchy for long consistent periods.
Waterfall··on Low-income housing has no impact on nearby home values (2016)
The article was useless. They could have showed asylums, prisons and liquor stores built during 1996-2006, you know, the year that housing prices peaked and said it had no effect on housing prices.
Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
I cannot say for sure, but it wasn't the only place with conflicts. I also got high on the ASVAB, but I didn't end up joining because I was too nervous and scared like you.
Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
Do you have a meaningful reply to my question or do you just have a rant that has nothing to do with what I just asked?

>People think street gang is cool, even those who are against the street gang are donned in street gang gear and want to train with street gang tactics.

Can you name a street gang that pays your college?

Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
The only reason that the middle east is in such dire situations is because we refused to do what crueler militaries would do, which is crush opposition, what Assad would do, what Saddam would do. They may be cruel dictators but they brought stability and the ability for people to live within those rules. The US's military has and probably will do cruel things too but not to that degree.
Waterfall··on The US military is using online gaming to recruit teens
How do you think the US was founded? We are the strongest nation because we have the strongest military. Where would the US be without it's military? At best we could be Japan, but even they have their own military, and rely on ours to protect them.
