    Why the police are not the problem.

    As humans, we do not always handle things in the most rational effective way, especially when we are personally hurt or grieving. If there is, in fact a problem in a particular police department, (and you can’t lump them all into the same category) then it has to be dealt with.

    Last night, SIX police officers were shot in this country, one fatally, one gravely, two “with a long way to recover” and two are said to be in stable condition. And yet – the internet is not broken with outrage –

    North Korea: Why The U.S. Should Be Concerned
    If you don't know, North Korea is a communist country essentially isolating themselves from the rest of the world. They are led by a Supreme Leader named Kim Jung-un who runs a strict, secretive country. Controversy and conspiracy theories surround the country. They have camps for prisoners that resemble ones used in World War ll, have been accused of starving their own citizens, and restrict media coverage. Their country is truly what we read about in dystopian sci-fi novels. The worst part? They are the United States biggest enemy.

    Since World War ll, tensions have been high between the US and North Korea. In the early 1990's North Korea began shooting missiles and testing nuclear weaponry which violated their role in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Relations with the country have not gotten any friendlier in recent years.In 2002, while the US was in fear of terroristic acts or violence, Bush declared North Korea part of the "Axis of Evil", along with Iraq and Iran. Our biggest fears are North Korea's missile testing and their stock pile of nuclear weapons. Despite how many times they have claimed they aren't, it has been proved otherwise.

    Nationalizing Banks and Industry: Why Capitalists Hate Socialism

    The United States has always been a political economy, requiring government regulation of its finance and money markets, and using government stimulation on its labor force. “Free Market” enterprise is based on the notion that open markets and the competition derived from competing ideas for consumer patronage will create a market balance (equilibrium) that will produce a stable economy and widespread prosperity. There is also a flawed theory that social conditions in the markets — like poverty, homelessness, even economic subjugation and socio-political discrimination caused by racism — will self-correct in competitive and robust economic environments.

    Playing Bluff Poker with Nuclear Weaponries is not a smart thing. Noone should push someone to ante up, to call or to fold when lives are in danger.

    Endangerment Laws can pertain to these sorts of needless behaviors.

    Endangerment is a type of crime involving conduct that is wrongful and reckless or wanton, and likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm to another person. There are several kinds of endangerment, each of which is a criminal act that can be prosecuted in a court. In some U.S. states, such as Florida, substantially similar language is used for the crime of Culpable negligence.

    The offense is intended to prohibit and therefore deter reckless or wanton conduct that wrongfully creates a substantial risk of death or serious injury to others.

    Various laws specify several types of endangerment:

    • Child endangerment and animal endangerment: placing a child or animal in a potentially harmful situation, either through negligence or misconduct.
    • Reckless endangerment: A person commits the crime of reckless endangerment if the person recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. “Reckless” conduct is conduct that exhibits a culpable disregard of foreseeable consequences to others from the act or omission involved. The accused need not intentionally cause a resulting harm. The ultimate question is whether, under all of the circumstances, the accused’s conduct was of that heedless nature that made it actually or imminently dangerous to the rights or safety of others.
    • Public endangerment is usually applied to crimes which place the public in some form of danger, although that danger can be more or less severe according to the crime. It is punished most frequently in Canada.

    Playing Bluff Poker puts everyone around the poker table at risk of being assoicated with the Poker players.

    US flies mission north of DMZ, sends message to North Korea
    WASHINGTON — In a show of American military might to North Korea, U.S. bombers and fighter escorts flew on Saturday to the farthest point north of the border between North and South Korea by any such American aircraft this century. The Pentagon said the mission in international airspace showed how seriously President Donald Trump takes North Korea’s “reckless behavior.”

    “This mission is a demonstration of U.S. resolve and a clear message that the president has many military options to defeat any threat,” Defense Department spokesman Dana White said in a statement.

    “North Korea’s weapons program is a grave threat to the Asia-Pacific region and the entire international community. We are prepared to use the full range of military capabilities to defend the U.S. homeland and our allies,” White said.

    How North Korea Poses a Threat
    The United Nations Security Council unanimously approved a resolution on Wednesday that toughens sanctions on North Korea in response to its latestnuclear weapons testing and the launching of a ballistic missile.

    Here are six questions and answers addressing why North Korea has festered as an international crisis for more than a half-century.

    Q. Who are North Korea’s rulers?

    A. North Korea, an impoverished country of 25 million, was founded by the revolutionary leader Kim Il-sung in the aftermath of World War II. With the Korean Peninsula divided, he sought to reunify it, with China’s help, by military means, which led to the 1950-53 war with South Korea and the United States. The war never officially ended, and the North has been ruled by the Kim family under a dynastic dictatorship ever since. Kim Jong-un, the founder’s 33-year-old grandson who has been the leader since 2011, has demanded an end to what he calls American military threats and wants a formal peace treaty that guarantees North Korea’s security.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/world/asia/how-north-korea-poses-a-threat.html


    Are North Koreans not as 'acceptable' as humans by UN standards?

    So if a look into leader's personal lives is being scrutinized, taking a look into the private lives of the other National Leaders would prove fair and Just.

    The members of the European Council are the heads of state or government of the 28 EU member states, the European Council President and the President of the European Commission.

    Decision-making process
    The European Council mostly takes its decisions by consensus. However, in certain specific cases outlined in the EU treaties, it decides by unanimity or by qualified majority.

    If a vote is taken, neither the European Council President nor the Commission President take part.

    1945 - 1959
    A peaceful Europe – the beginnings of cooperation
    The European Union is set up with the aim of ending the frequent and bloody wars between neighbours, which culminated in the Second World War. As of 1950, the European Coal and Steel Community begins to unite European countries economically and politically in order to secure lasting peace. The six founding countries are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The 1950s are dominated by a cold war between east and west. Protests in Hungary against the Communist regime are put down by Soviet tanks in 1956. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome creates the European Economic Community (EEC), or ‘Common Market’.


    1960 - 1969
    A period of economic growth

    The 1960s is a good period for the economy, helped by the fact that EU countries stop charging custom duties when they trade with each other. They also agree joint control over food production, so that everybody now has enough to eat - and soon there is even surplus agricultural produce. May 1968 becomes famous for student riots in Paris, and many changes in society and behaviour become associated with the so-called ‘68 generation’.


    1970 - 1979
    A growing Community – the first enlargement
    Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom join the European Union on 1 January 1973, raising the number of Member States to nine. The short, yet brutal, Arab-Israeli war of October 1973 results in an energy crisis and economic problems in Europe. The last right-wing dictatorships in Europe come to an end with the overthrow of the Salazar regime in Portugal in 1974 and the death of General Franco of Spain in 1975. The EU regional policy starts to transfer huge sums of money to create jobs and infrastructure in poorer areas. The European Parliament increases its influence in EU affairs and in 1979 all citizens can, for the first time, elect their members directly. The fight against pollution intensifies in the 1970s. The EU adopts laws to protect the environment, introducing the notion of ‘the polluter pays’ for the first time.


    1980 - 1989
    The changing face of Europe - the fall of the Berlin Wall
    The Polish trade union, Solidarność, and its leader Lech Walesa, become household names across Europe and the world following the Gdansk shipyard strikes in the summer of 1980. In 1981, Greece becomes the 10th member of the EU, and Spain and Portugal follow five years later. In 1986 the Single European Act is signed. This is a treaty which provides the basis for a vast six-year programme aimed at sorting out the problems with the free flow of trade across EU borders and thus creates the ‘Single Market’. There is major political upheaval when, on 9 November 1989, the Berlin Wall is pulled down and the border between East and West Germany is opened for the first time in 28 years. This leads to the reunification of Germany, when both East and West Germany are united in October 1990.


    1990 - 1999
    A Europe without frontiers
    With the collapse of communism across central and eastern Europe, Europeans become closer neighbours. In 1993 the Single Market is completed with the 'four freedoms' of: movement of goods, services, people and money. The 1990s is also the decade of two treaties: the ‘Maastricht’ Treaty on European Union in 1993 and the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999. People are concerned about how to protect the environment and also how Europeans can act together when it comes to security and defence matters. In 1995 the EU gains three more new members: Austria, Finland and Sweden. A small village in Luxembourg gives its name to the ‘Schengen’ agreements that gradually allow people to travel without having their passports checked at the borders. Millions of young people study in other countries with EU support. Communication is made easier as more and more people start using mobile phones and the internet.


    2000 – 2009
    Further expansion
    The euro is now the new currency for many Europeans. During the decade more and more countries adopt the euro. 11 September 2001 becomes synonymous with the 'War on Terror' after hijacked airliners are flown into buildings in New York and Washington. EU countries begin to work much more closely together to fight crime. The political divisions between east and west Europe are finally declared healed when no fewer than 10 new countries join the EU in 2004, followed by Bulgaria and Romania in 2007. A financial crisis hits the global economy in September 2008. The Treaty of Lisbon is ratified by all EU countries before entering into force in 2009. It provides the EU with modern institutions and more efficient working methods.


    2010 – today
    A challenging decade
    The global economic crisis strikes hard in Europe. The EU helps several countries to confront their difficulties and establishes the 'Banking Union' to ensure safer and more reliable banks. In 2012, the European Union is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Croatia becomes the 28th member of the EU in 2013. Climate change is still high on the agenda and leaders agree to reduce harmful emissions. European elections are held in 2014 and more Eurosceptics are elected into the European Parliament. A new security policy is established in the wake of the annexation of Crimea by Russia. Religious extremism increases in the Middle East and various countries and regions around the world, leading to unrest and wars which result in many people fleeing their homes and seeking refuge in Europe. The EU is not only faced with the dilemma of how to take care of them, but also finds itself the target of several terrorist attacks.

    From trying to make Peace within Europe to making International Laws of Peace in other Territories and Lands and Countries. Is Europe really that safe and Peaceful for them to take their eyes off of their own homeland?

    Christian Kern
    A business journalist by profession, the member of Austria's Social Democratic Party served as spokesman of the SPÖ's parliamentary group leader in the mid-1990s, before he became a senior manager in Austria's leading electricity company Verbund AG. In 2010, Kern was appointed CEO of the state-owned Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), chairing the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) from 2014 onwards. Following the resignation of Werner Faymann amidst the Austrian presidential election, the governing Social Democrats nominated Kern for the country's highest executive office.

    Kern was raised in Simmering, a working-class district of Vienna, as the son of an electrician and a secretary.[1] He studied journalism and communication at the University of Vienna followed by postgraduate studies at the Management Zentrum St. Gallen.

    Charles Michel - Belgium
    Michel was born in Namur, Wallonia. Michel started his political career aged 16 when he joined the Young Liberals of Jodoigne(Jeunes Réformateurs Libéraux de Jodoigne); his father Louis Michel was mayor of Jodoigne since 1983. In 1994, at the age of 18, Charles Michel was elected provincial councillor in Walloon Brabant.

    He is fluent in Dutch in addition to his native French.

    He graduated in law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the University of Amsterdam in 1998, after which he became lawyer at the Brussels Bar.

    https://topics.revolvy.com/topic/Charles Michel (Belgian politician)&item_type=topic


    He is the son of Louis Michel, also a prominent politician. Charles Michel was the leader of the francophone liberal partyMouvement Réformateur (MR) since February 2011 until becoming Prime Minister. Michel is the youngest Belgian Prime Minister since 1845.


    What does he is fluent 'to his native French' as well as Dutch mean if Dutch, French and German are the official languages of Belgium?

    Boyko Borisov - Bulgaria

    Borisov occasionally plays as a forward for the football club FC Vitosha Bistritsa. In 2013, he became the oldest player ever to play for a Bulgarian professional club when he appeared for Vitosha in the B Group, the second division of Bulgarian football.

    Borisov was born in 1959 in Bankya (then a village, today a town that is part of greater Sofia) to Ministry of Internal Affairs official Metodi Borisov and elementary school teacher Veneta Borisova. In 1977, Borisov graduated from Bankya's high school with excellent marks.[2] Between 1982 and 1990, he assumed different positions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a firefighter and later as a professor at the Police Academy in Sofia.[3] As a National Security Office member,

    Borisov quit the Ministry in 1990. In 1991, he founded a private security company, Ipon-1, and later guarded “Bulgaria's communist dictator Todor Zhivkov after he was pushed from power in 1989”,[5] as well as for Simeon II.

    Angela Merkel - Germany

    She has also been the leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) since 10 April 2000.
    A former research scientist with a doctorate in physical chemistry, Merkel entered politics in East Germany in the wake of theRevolutions of 1989, and briefly served as a deputy spokesperson for the first democratically elected East German Governmentheaded by Lothar de Maizière in 1990.

    Merkel was born Angela Dorothea Kasner in 1954, in Hamburg, West Germany, the daughter of Horst Kasner (1926–2011; né Kaźmierczak),[11][12] a Lutheran pastor and a native of Berlin, and his wife Herlind (née Jentzsch), born in 1928 in Danzig (nowGdańsk, Poland), a teacher of English and Latin. She has two younger siblings, her brother Marcus Kasner, a physicist, and her sister Irene Kasner, an occupational therapist. In her childhood and youth, Merkel was known among her peers by the nickname "Kasi", derived from her last name Kasner.

    Later, at the Academy of Sciences, she became a member of its FDJ secretariat. Merkel has stated that she was secretary for culture, which involved activities like obtaining theatre tickets and organising talks by visiting Soviet authors

    At school, she learned to speak Russian fluently, and was awarded prizes for her proficiency in Russian and Mathematics.[26] Merkel was educated at the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics from 1973 to 1978.

    Near the end of her studies at the University of Leipzig, Merkel sought an assistant professorship at an engineering school. As a condition for getting the job, Merkel was told she would need to agree to report on her colleagues to the Stasi, the GDR's secret police. Merkel declined, using the excuse that she could not keep secrets well enough to be an effective spy.[28] Merkel worked and studied at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin-Adlershof from 1978 to 1990. After being awarded a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) for her thesis on quantum chemistry in 1986,[29] she worked as a researcher and published several papers

    All anyone needs now days is a college degree and they can run an entire country.

    Dealing with other College graduate Congress Floor members is work enough. And training enough.

    Is there a reason for your strange thread title followed by endless unrelated and wandering data snippets?

    You have tremendous faith and a tremendous amount of security. If you're not concerned with what humans have made this world into today, then you have tremendous faith and appreciation to what is today.

    Although the population of the world exceeds 7 Billion persons, disrespect and discourtesies can kill off many of them very quickly.

    In other words... If you say that the President of North Korea is a psycho, you shouldn't play Truth or Dare with him, wouldn't you agree?

    Aren't acid burnings and acid attacks enough evidence that some carry out their threats?

    And please don't tell me that threats and provocations actually help 'solve' a problem.

    What I am trying to say is, please do not endanger the lives of complete strangers on the account of keeping the upper hand on people.

    Police have a duty to keep civilians safe. Leaders also have the same duties. What sort of safety is there when another Country is being provoked?

    China or any other 'nation' does not have a right to 'impose' its ways and threats into my life here in the U.S. without first being permitted to do so by US Government.


    And I don't have a right to impose my ways or threats into any life in China or in any other Nation without first getting permission from their Government.

    I am not sure if the U.S. has ever had to face legitimate prolonged Air Threats from other Country's Bomber Planes flying overhead or very near so we cannot say we know what it is like being under 'lock down' from another Country.

    I don't know how many Airstrikes or Bombings that the U.S. has faced and encountered from enemy forces but I think I would be safe to say that they were probably not very amusing to be a part of.

    Perhaps during the World Wars, the Axis Powers were focused on the other Allied Forces, besides the U.S., to focus their targeting on. There were more direct threats to the other Allied Powers than to the U.S during those wars.

    In fact, I believe that the U.S. did NOT even want to be part of any World War and even declared that they did not want to be part of International War.


    All I know is that I'm bad and I need time to get better. Sorry.

    Well, if they are interested they will read. I'd much rather have people who are truly interested in reading read than people who are perusing through items they might be able to purchase for a few cents worth of reading.

    I don't want to be similarized to National Enquirer with their Sell Advertisements.

    But that was only 1 that I know of.. Are there others? And that didn't happen to the whole Nation. Only 1 State of The United States. An attack which only affected those living on the Island of Oahu. Not even the ones living on the other Hawaiian Islands were affected as much. Remember that the German soldiers were attempting to cross the Russian Borders by foot after their machinery jammed. I am referring to land invasion en masse, not in isolations. This might be a better example.

    When was the last time an Enemy Fighter Jet flew over your house?




    These homes were where families tried to live in peace with their neighbors in ...

    One of those 'bullets' weigh 0.1071429 lb.

    50 cal bullet lenth (inches_?

    It depends what you are talking about. I'm assuming you mean the .50 BMG, the round the Barret m82/m107 shoots. The overall length is 5.45 inches and the case is 3.91 inches (99mm)
