My commentary on rapper Rick Ross' lyrics about using drug to rape a girl, more people in their 50's and 60's taking out loans on their 401k plan, the media hype around North Korea's nuclear weapons, the rising problems associated with Obamacare, commodities dropping, Congress quietly working to remove financial disclosures online disappear.

1. (~_*) Supposedly.
2. I'll just go back to ......if it wasn't good enough for the russians............
3. Have I ever heard of Electromagnetic pulse.....this is getting more sophmoric by the hour. Did I mention I'm a submariner? Did I also mention the new "Red Dawn" movie sucked & I thought it was a campy comedy? We're more likely to get an EMP from the sun from solar storms than we are from an enemy attack. You're more likely to get the clap from a NK gal than be atacked by one, how's that?
4. If they were going to launch some sort of hail mary, they wouldn't advertise it though, would they?
5. Ever heard of EMP? The Russians have admitted that North Korea got the technology for it from them. With something like that, almost counts, so even if the coastal missile shield does activate, if that missile detonates anywhere within a fairly large distance of a major city.... well, lets just say bad day and leave it at that.
6. Personally, no. I don't hurt squirrels with tree branches. I buy my meat at the grocery store.
7. LOL, there's AMERICANS that tie yo-yo traps for catching fish....out on wilderness & camping trips..........you need a tree branch for that, I'm just saying....
8. I really have no idea what you're talking about. Considering I've been all over the world 4 times & over a dozen countries & lived in a few for several months at a time, all I can really do is laugh. You mean you don't hunt squirrels w. tree branches? LMAO, ever see a yo-yo trap catch a fish? LMAO!!!
9. If a missile is fired from the middle of the ocean, then coastal missile defense would be activated. I can't help how you word things bud, It's not hard to figure out because I suggested the long shot. (remember?) You can get frustrated & that's fine. You say it can happen, I say don't hold your breath. If we die of old age & see nothing, lmao, I'll have my grandkids tell yours pappy says I told ya so, LMAO
10. If NK was up to something, we'd know it. There's plenty of people on the ground that would see changes indicating a valid threat.
11. it's in their best interest to listen. Again: they have physically postured ZERO indications that suggest they're preparing for war. They throw the missile thing around, but yet, nobody's going to the bunkers, nobody's making preparations.......it's all hot air & rhetoric.
12. I'm not saying it CANT happen, I'm saying it's slim to none that it will.
13. Really? You're arguing minor logistics like THAT? Are there NOT grocery stores in other parts of the world? Or do you believe that everyone who isn't American is living in a cave, and hunting their meals with a large tree branch?
14. Not HEADED FOR. FIRED FROM. I don't think there's any point in me continuing to talk to you if you can't even figure out that much on your own. Build a launch ramp on a boat, send it out into the middle of the ocean, shoot the missile. Is that REALLY all that hard to figure out? If so, you may be in the wrong conversation.
15. Assuming China had any idea that North Korea was up to something, you may be correct. Not saying you ARE correct, because there are certainly other economic factors at work (like the whole covert war they're involved in over resources in Africa) but you may be correct. Of course, if North Korea chooses not to ask permission, or even inform mommy of what they're doing, what then?
16. Sure. Doesn't mean they listened.
17. How do people that steal cars keep it under the radar? By not driving in a way that attracts the attention of the people that are out looking for stolen cars. Same principle, larger scale.
18. Yeah, that's because they figured out how to make physics & gravity work for them. Yeah, it still happened, & yet we're still here. Bin Laden is gone, his upper ups have been taken out. Can ya see everything coming? No. That's a constant. Have we gotten sucker punched a few times? Yep. But that's not a constant. Are we always the ones still standing & tougher than we were before? yep. That's a constant. I've a better chance at being hit by lightning than NK attacking us. ;)
19. No...but how does NK keep a hot potato under the radar. That's like buying a hot stereo ;)
20. China, once or twice has told NK to chill out. China! Their neighbors!
