Which is a situation much more complicated than a holier-than-thou one liner. You're also forgetting that innocent men are killed in the strikes too, which is just as tragic (or maybe more tragic since apparently nobody cares about the

Well most countries have the same or worse intellectual property laws. It's just that the U.S. is most prolific because when people are pirating movies, video games, music, or software they are very likely to be pirating American stuff

Yeah. Was speaking to a realtor yesterday actually about this (just an acquaintance) and homes in some areas in a particular midwest city have risen in value 23% in one year. As soon as a place goes on the market it has 10 offers over the a

I'm probably the minority here, but I'd rather it just stay in the hands of the U.S. . Unless there is some sort of malice and ongoing misuse I don't really see how this improves the system. Open to any explanation about how

This is really irritating. Not just because of the actual problem, but then because it feeds into the China vs America "conflict" which only exists to serve as an us vs them narrative on both sides of the Pacific. Everybody loses.

To your point I think that you just always have that risk. But I'd rather have that 20% I would have spent either invested in a 401k or a retirement fund or even using it for other things like getting another degree. Now I'm not s

China's GDP compared to it's population is interesting. 3-4 times the population of the US but 80% of the GDP. To me it only seems natural that they will eventually overtake the United States in GDP. India should too, as should th

Ok that makes sense. I work in finance and was wondering about what other countries/companies are doing. Thanks for the info. One thing that I was thinking about though was about the regulations and scare around security might be hinde
