    Holy Chit! So THIS is how the aliens disguise themselves... obesity and slanted eyes. No wonder "the Chinese" are so good with technology.

    Plus the fact that they vehemently pursue having male children, there's going to be a shitload of blue balled pissed off young Chinamen in a few decades with no vaginas to be had. That scares the shit out of me.

    if Cpl Ray Person's theory on peace and conflict is correct, we are fucked

    Cpl. Ray Person: Look at this shit, how come we can't ever invade a cool country, like chicks in bikinis, you know, how come counties like that don't ever need Marines, I'll tell you why, it's lack of pussy that fucks countries up, lack of pussy is the root fucking cause of all global instability, if more hajis were getting quality pussy, there'd be no reason for us to come over and fuck em up like this, cause a nutbusting haji, is a happy haji.
    Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert: Ray, how much ripped fuel have you ingested.
    Cpl. Ray Person: I'm on it like a mother fucker Brad, haha!...
    Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert: Well, no more of that shit...
    Evan 'Scribe' Wright: An interesting theory though.
    Cpl. Ray Person: Yeah, yeah, you should quote me on it, you know what, you should definitely quote me on it, this whole thing comes down to pussy! Look, if you take the Republican Guard and comp their asses for a week in Vegas, no fucking war!
    Evan 'Scribe' Wright: So the war is not about oil or WMDs.
    Cpl. Ray Person: No, in the opinion of this Marine, its about pussy.
    Evan 'Scribe' Wright: And its not about Saddam.
    Cpl. Ray Person: No, Saddam is just part of the problem, if Saddam invested more in the pussy infrastructure of Iraq than he did in his fucking gay ass army, then this country would be no more fucked up than say, Mexico.
    Sgt. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert: Ray, please shut up... thank you.

    That has lessened quite a bit, especially in urban areas. Daughters are seen as advantageous now because of the gender imbalance and increased chances for the girl to marry into a well off family. In rural areas if the first child is born female they family is allowed to have one more child, so it's gotten a little better in rural areas, too.
    But they don't have any systems that resemble medicare or social security.
    Not trying to white knight China, but often people's views of China are still stuck in the situation there in 1995. They're no where near where we are as far as standard of living and governmental control, but it's not like it's hell on earth.

    China had a shitty 20th century. Civil War for decades. Get their shit pushed in by Japan. Japanese massacre/enslave civilian population. More Civil War. Mao takes over. Great Leap Forward. Millions die. Russia hates them. America hates them. Cultural Revolution. Basically a war on smart people. Intellectuals rounded up into camps. Not a good century for them.

    I also see them fighting a major major war with India in the next 30 years.

    Two huge countries with massive populations with a substantial difference between rich and poor and entirely too many horny young men caused by an obsession with males fighting over increasingly scarce water and other resources sharing a border.

    it's crazy that 1/3 of the human population is on that little amount of land.

    I had a english class and the prof was some fat hippie dude and hated that so much land in South America gets used by cattle to supply foreign meat markets, then proceeded to wax poetic about peasant chinese' diet and that they barely use any meat, and that people shouldn't eat meat. The stupid fuck never even consider that those bastards are far too poor to eat much other than simple grains

    Warsaw Uprising 1944: 250,000 poles died in the 9 weeks of fighting. The resistance did number close to 40k at one point, but had almost no weapons, ammo, food, or water. They received very little in support from any of the allies, and the one airdrop that the US was able to do ended up with 90% of the supplies falling into German hands because the Polish resistance held so little ground. In the end they surrendered and the Germans destroyed most of the city in retaliation

    Tet Offensive: One of the few battles in Vietnam with conventional warfare tactics. 37k vietcong died, 2.5k americans died. It was a shock to the US troops though because they thought the VC were too weak to orchestrate an attack like that, and because they took the main communications outpost in Saigon as well.

    Stolen from another thread. Thought it belonged here. Per Dinkle;


    [​IMG]

    As you may have heard, the Mississippi River is more swollen than it’s been in decades and, in an effort to prevent the flooding of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, the Army Corps of Engineers has opened a couple of floodgates diverting a lot of the Mississippi’s excess water into rural Louisiana. And since rural South Louisiana is quite swampy and thus, shall we say, fertile ground for wild critters, local officials have been warning residents to be hyper-aware of their surroundings, as the aforementioned wild critters — snakes, alligators, deer, etc. — suddenly faced with the flooding of their habitats as well, would likely seek higher and drier ground in order to survive. And now it appears as though we’ve had the first sighting of something crawling out of the swamp that is positively freakish.

    The pic above was submitted by a reader to Baton Rouge’s WAFB.com with the following rather bland description: “Driving along the highway near the Morganza spillway and this was spotted.” “This?” “THIS?!?!” That’s all this person could muster was “this?” Were I the one to submit it, the photo’s description would have been something more like this: “HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THIS POSITIVELY PREHISTORIC-LOOKING SNAKE/SERPENT THING!!! IT’S THE GOSH DARN LOCH NESS MONSTER, THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!”

    I should note that I grew up in rural swampy Louisiana, but it’s been a while since I ventured back out there. Obviously. Still, in all the time I spent running around the backwoods as a Cajun youth, I don’t ever recall seeing anything remotely resembling this. It looks like a damn anaconda and, last I checked, those aren’t that common round these parts, so honestly I have no idea what the heck it is.
