    From the New York Times: What is the ideal outcome here long term for the Korean peninsula? China doesn't want an American military ally on the Yalu River. Japan doesn't really want a united Korea. The North Korean regime wants to survive. What does South Korea want?
  • @Daniel H
    @JA

    >>South Korea does NOT want to pay the economic costs of reunification.

    South Korea doesn't even want to accept refugees from North Korea. They have had the nerve in the past to ask (demand) that North Korean refugees be resettled in the USA.

    I believe that if the barriers between the North and South came down tomorrow, and millions went on the move towards the south, the South Koreans would demand (demand) that the USA accept hundreds of thousands of these migrants, and every would be US President, except Donald Trump, would give into such demand.

    Replies: @shk12344

    Bullshit.

    Never heard of South Korea demanding US accept North Korean defectors. By South Korean constitution, all North Koreans are considered citizens of the South and are given housing and stipends upon their arrival. There are North Koreans who have sought asylum in the US, but their number is tiny.

    Too bad the Whitest Team In The NFL (tm) didn't win, but solid postgame comments at the Lombardi trophy presentation... First words out of the mouth of:

[Note: he wouldn't be the first Muslim in the NFL, but his actions appear to be outside the norm.] I'm not sure how much positioning is going on by his agent - despite the immediate need for a QB in Dallas and now Minnesota, he may be untouchable at this point. If so, the 49ers have to treat this guy with kid gloves before CAIR or the ACLU steps in when he's cut.

    In the meantime, professional locker rooms will put up with almost anything as long as you contribute on the field or court. He's not doing much of anything other than disrupting the team.

    Maybe. Or he's soft because he's planning to pick Rubio as his running mate because (1) it can help him make peace and get support from the establishment and (2) Trump also believes the line about the importance of the Hispanic vote is going to try a double strategy of appealing to whites and Hispanics. I don't know if Rubio could turn himself into a wall flower and argue for limiting immigration now, but George HW Bush was able to transform into Reagan's running mate despite being bitterly opposed to him at the outset.

    As people probably know, I live in California, which is by far the least white European large state and almost totally controlled by Democrats and liberals. Furthermore, for decades the major California universities have been notorious for their political agitation. Yet virtually none of this nonsense has been occurring here, with that small controversy at Occi being a minor exception.

    Stanford is only about 1/3 white these days, and over 15% Hispanic. Just a couple of days ago, some protesters occupied the administration building and one of their main leaders was a Hispanic student. But their demands were that the university divest from fossil fuel companies in order to help save the planet from Global Warming or some such nonsense.

    In fact, just yesterday I pointed something out to Steve. We're roughly the same age and both grew up in Los Angeles. Back then LA was by far the whitest large city in America and CA by far the whitest large state. These days, that's exactly flipped, with LA being the least white large city and CA the least white large state. Yet in recent years, racial/ethnic controversies and agitation seem to have almost entirely disappeared, while they were a *massive* political issue in LA and CA during the 1960s and 1970s.

    The vitriol toward immigrants, Muslims, and all people other than White America coming from the candidates should frighten all Americans. It is no surprise that there are bigots in our country, or that there are simple people looking for a scape goat to solve their problems. Usually these are bigots to a minor role in our political life; ie., KKK or John Birchers. The election of Barack Obama turned that on its head.

    Until Obama's election, White Americans could pretend that they were in charge, no matter their lot in life. Even out there in the trailer parks and poor rural communities, no matter what else was true, it was White English speaking people who ran an exceptional America. All of those minorities were just that; lesser people with less power.

    Obama's election revealed the a truth that could not be denied. America had changed. We are now living in the political aftermath. A large group of angry White people is being harnessed by the Republican Party to bring its leaders into power. Many of the candidates for president seem to be willing to say most anything negative about Hispanic immigrants, Muslims, Native Americans, and any other non-White, non-English speaking group to generate the allegiance of disaffected White Americans.

  • My favorite African land grab story is one between Daewoo (South Korean Company) and Madagascar. Daewoo’s attempt at creating massive farmland for export to Korea led to coup d’etat in the island nation.

    http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7e133310-13ba-11de-9e32-0000779fd2ac.html#axzz3kKbbdUH1

    South Korea’s project to transform Madagascar into its breadbasket, branded by some as neo-colonial, came to an abrupt end on Wednesday when the Indian Ocean island’s new president said he would shelve the plan.

    Daewoo Logistic’s deal to lease a huge tract of farmland, half the size of Belgium, to grow food crops to send back to Seoul was a source of popular resentment that contributed to the fall of Marc Ravalomanana, the former president.

    Andry Rajoelina, who was declared president by the military and constitutional court after months of demonstrations and who will be formally sworn in on Saturday, said that Daewoo’s plan was “cancelled”.

    ….The revelation of the plan was the catalyst that turned smouldering dissatisfaction with the rule of Mr Ravalomanana into the rebellion that ousted him on Tuesday.

    Once early prospecting of land became public, outrage at the president’s perceived use of political office to further his own business interests changed gear, said a well-connected Malagasy, who asked not to be named. “It was the news that said Daewoo expected to pay nothing for the land that accelerated the [political] trouble,” he added.

    ….The South Korean company initially said it had secured a lease for 99 years for about 1.3m hectares and expected to pay nothing as a rent, although it later said it was still in negotiations with Mr Ravalomanana’s former government.

    The company floated the plan in January to lease 900,000 hectares of land with infrastructure investments worth $2bn (€1.5bn, £1.4bn). The plan suggested Daewoo could create up to 45,000 jobs.

    Seoul’s long-term target was to import up to half its corn needs, cutting its dependence on the US, Argentina and Brazil. South Korea is the world’s fourth largest corn importer.

Anyway, he had a huge chip on his shoulder, but it didn't have to do with being Korean, or asked about it, but because, he told me, he belonged to an ethnic minority in Korea that is discriminated against. Looking it up, there do appear to be some such minorities, notably Han Chinese, thinking back, that fits. That's really all I know.

    I also know, through my children, a number of Korean adoptees, who were all raised by WASPs and have WASP names, and so on.

Any robust ideology adopted by it could have been easily transmitted across that cultural space. Mithraism, Zoroastrianism or the ancient Egyptian religion could have also easily played that role. And later history would have turned out the same anyway.

    The English Puritans would have interpreted Seth and Horus in their typically English puritanical ways through sheer force of HBD. Luther would have led an austere Germanic revolt against Mediterranean excesses and corruption in the practice of Horus worship. Few things would be different now.

    Yes, but South America is hosting for the first time and they are part of the same time zone as the US so NBC, who pay more than most of the world's broadcasters put together, are happy enough with Rio. With so few options in the Americas the two continents are probably lumped together as far as the IOC is concerned. So 2024 should probably go back to Europe then North America in 2028. Looking over the Toronto sports media I saw a few comments about 2028 being better anyway for the city if they want to do it right.

    If you need over a decade to do it right then it is too big and bloated. The World Cup is better for a country to bid on as you don't have to worry about lots of expensive facilities for minor sports that will rarely be used again. The "benefits" of a World Cup are spread out over an entire country for a full month instead of 17 days. Lastly, a big nuisance associated with the Olympics that WC organisers don't have to worry (yet) about the elaborate and ridiculously expensive opening and closing ceremonies which are often judged quite critically by the rest of the world.

    It's been mentioned that Barcelona benefitted by hosting in 1992. Turin doesn't seem to have gained much, if anything.

    Yeah, I've heard a lot of women say that a saggy scrote is an absolute deal breaker. Not.

    Of course if you would even notice something like that it suggests there's something less than mesmerizing about the rest of the equipment.

    Furthermore, I am skeptical of this claim because I am in my '60's and this claim does not reflect empirical reality. So, unless a guy has an inguinal hernia such that his sac swells to the size of a grapefruit on a bad day, I'm skeptical. On the other hand, I'm with you on the ear hair. What could possibly be the reason for that?

    The biggest turnoff for both sexes is that they get fat as they get old. On a woman, it's not so bad as long as it keeps proportion. But I agree, a big turnoff. Thus if you intend to remain active into old age it's a good idea to exercise, watch your diet, do those scrotum tightening exercises, etc.

    Sort of ignored here is that the negative evaluation of the women in question had to do with their faces not their naughty bits. And that much is generally true, while the underlying material remains soft and supple, the face generally ages and acquires, let's call it, "wisdom." The fact is, men can get away with an old man's face. But a rugged looking woman is going to get those 2's and 3's unless she has a wonderful personality.

  • @iSteveFan

    Robert M. Gates, the president of the Boy Scouts of America and former secretary of defense, on Thursday called to end the Scouts’ blanket ban on gay adult leaders, warning the group’s executives that “we must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be,” and that “any other alternative will be the end of us as a national movement.”
     
    Clearly the only reason the Boy Scouts have been under assault is because of the prestige of their organization. They are too high profile to be allowed to thumb their noses at the narrative and remain untouched. If the BSA weren't as prestigious, people would just join and support other groups like Camp Fire and let the BSA whither.

    I keep hearing that the BSA is in trouble and that they have to accept homosexuals to stay relevant. According to USA Today, membership declined 6 percent in the year following the decision to open up to gay kids. If anything, changing their position on homosexuality exacerbated their decline. Further, if fully accepting homosexuals was the key, then why does Camp Fire only have 750K members compared to the BSA's 2.6 million? And why does the media never editorialize that open and tolerant Camp Fire has a membership problem?

    If this were a simple issue of gays wanting to join a scouting type organization, they'd simply join Camp Fire. But the BSA is too high profile to be seen by others as having withstood the call to change. So instead of joining other groups, the BSA must be made to kowtow to send a message to other groups who think they can do the same.

    The BSA has problems for sure. I rarely see kids in my area that belong to scouting groups. At least not in the same numbers as when I was a kid. But to suggest that this is attributable to the BSA stance on homosexuals is wrong.

    Replies: @Terrahawk, @SPMoore8, @shk12344

    Problem for BSA is that the family who are likely to join the group are the ones that will have a problem with a change. Since there is already other alternative, those family will simply move to a new one and BSA continue to hemorrhage membership.

    In few years, I’m sure BSA will face the same problem with pedophiles as Catholic church.

    Singapore heads the table, followed by Hong Kong, with Ghana at the bottom.

    The UK is in 20th place, among higher achieving European countries, with the US in 28th.

    “This is the first time we have a truly global scale of the quality of education,” said the OECD’s education director, Andreas Schleicher.

    “The idea is to give more countries, rich and poor, access to comparing themselves against the world’s education leaders, to discover their relative strengths and weaknesses, and to see what the long-term economic gains from improved quality in schooling could be for them,” he said.”

    That's a good point. I think part of it is that conservatives are less inclined to politicize aspects of everyday life. Liberals want to Save the World. Conservatives are more concerned with jobs, families, hobbies, etc.

    Also, conservatives may be more inclined to view business as a civic virtue, so that the company that builds a better mousetrap "deserves" their dollars notwithstanding its politics.

    Finally, of course, conservatives probably understand at some level that the commanding heights of society are held by people who are hostile to them. If people on the right (especially the dissident right) were to boycott every business and organization that didn't share their values, they might as well be subsistence farmers.

    "Let’s make Silicon Valley more like General Motors. What could possibly go wrong?"

    This is not possible, so no need to worry.

    The problem with US Auto was it had to hire a lot of blue collar workers who, over the years, grew more slovenly, demanding, and black.

    So, American Auto got burdened with labor problems, management problems, and etc.

    Also, manufacturing was one area that other nations could compete with US with.

    US has no real competitor in high-tech. Even Japan fell by the wayside, Samsung is hitting the rocks, and it will take China years before even hoping to catch up.

    Silicon Valley attracts high IQ high skilled labor. So, Silicon Valley companies won't have the kind of problems US Auto did with low-cultured and low-IQed American factory workers.
    Also, even with aff-action, Silicon Valley will only hire the smartest blacks whereas Big Auto attracted and hired anyone who could lift and fit stuff.
    Using aff-action to hire blacks with IQ of 120 still beats a factory in Detroit or Gary hiring blacks with IQ of 90.

    Sure, there is a manufacturing side to high tech, but they happen to be in places like China and India where labor is controlled by more repressive systems. Workers there are so poor that they will work for a pittance, shut up, and make no trouble. And since they are overseas workers, Silicon Valley are not bound to them by US labor laws.

    Big government forcing manufacturing offshore is in the interest of those who can afford to hire highly trained experts in offshoring, thereby suppressing competition from would be startups who cannot start out that way, nor can they afford to deal with the environmental, worker safety and other massive costs to potential new manufacturing startups at home.

    Getting stuff made in China is easy. Getting innovative and complex products made there correctly and at a reasonable price, is very challenging unless you can send your people there and nanomanage things: else you will get something nothing like what you ordered. And it will arrive sporadically and continually involve new issues as the Chinese practice the sport of cost shaving and sub-outsourcing to relatives and cronies.

    Certain things the Chinese offshore chain can do pretty well, like circuit boards, if they are simple and you don't mind paying retail. Other things, such as complex machined parts with definite tolerances, alloys and heat treating, forget about it, unless you have onsite supervision that reports to you directly, speaks the language, knows the culture, and can be trusted with a bankroll to bribe as necessary.

    “….A decade earlier, in 2000, Khan wrote a letter to VDARE, a white nationalist website named after the first white child born in America, in which he discussed another VDARE essay by Steve Sailer, the openly racist science writer, concerning the threat of the United States becoming “more genetically and culturally Mexican.”

    Thanks. I had a look and it's pretty depressing punch him, kill him, sack him, kick him out of his phd etc. Parts are quite funny - based on the premise than Rzaib is Hindu a discussion of how Indians shouldn't be racist vs how the caste system is inherently racist or endless discussions of whether/why brown people are racist.
    The comments also follow a pattern I have seen before. At the top someone asserts ("scientific racism" is false because 1 science 2 race is a social construct 3 iq doesn't exist) then further down if these assumptions are challenged in any way people assert that they have already been proved. I really hope this doesn't affect his NYT job although I suspect it might.
    Looking though some of the linked material I think that like all of us he might have been less careful or maybe less thoughtful when he was younger. On the other hand this might reflect my bias.

    To the people who say "China will do it anyway":

    You may be right, and I hope so. But also don't underestimate how often Asians simply end up aping Western norms. In South Korea recently, the Supreme Court just struck down their anti-adultery law. You think a court would've made a decision in favor of "sexual freedom" without Western influence?

    The threat is that Western scientists influence their colleagues abroad and turn the world against human improvement. In the long run, though, I'm hopeful that some states will be immune, and the payoffs may be so great that others can't ignore it.

    Just to let you know, anti-adultery law was originally passed in 1953 to give some legal protection to wives who have cheating husbands. The repeal of anti-adultery law really has nothing to do with kind of sexual freedom that is practiced in the West.

    The historical context matters less than what the law represents now. Striking it down is a pathetic attempt to be more like Western societies.

    have we ever elected a President with a trophy wife?

    I don't know.... JFK maybe???

    While the third Mrs Webb is not unattractive she is not what is conventionally thought of in the USA as a trophy wife, not even a shiksa goddess for that matter.

    Perhaps Webb simply wanted to start a third family. He adopted her child. When you are in your fifties you have to go younger to start a family.

    While the current Mrs Webb is as I said not unattractive especially if one has an affinity for Asian women she meets neither of the two above definitions nor is she a "mail order bride".

    "I’d argue that Holocaust memorials, aren’t actually just Holocaust memorials or even just Jewish triumphalism and assertions of current dominance.

    I think they are designed to function as anti-nationalist monuments.

    It is illegitimate to not want the Jews around. Ergo it is illegitimate to not want any other people to be around. It is simply illegitimate to want to be your *own* people in your own nation. Nations–the idea of nations–is not “tolerant”, is genocide, is mass murder."

    Good point. Interesting that the Jewish bible, one of the most intolerant and influential (not to say genocidal) tracts in human history manages to escape the kind of systematic analysis and criticism that much less intolerant scripture is subjected to (viz. the NT and its "antisemitism" as well as the "Jesus the Jew" meme.)

    One can only envy China and its cultural autonomy in this respect.

    I've noticed an increasing uneasiness on the part of Jews that the SJW hate machine has no scruples about denouncing them for their whiteness (see, the recent and uncharacteristic pushback against the Justine Sacco case in the NYT), and has fully embraced the Palestinians' cause. It used to be the unspoken rule that Jews were off-limits, now, as the hard-left has diversified, no longer.

    "The popularity of the NFL is starting to fall in the US"

    http://www.businessinsider.com/popularity-nfl-mlb-nba-2015-2

    In the annual survey conducted The Harris Poll, the NFL is still the most popular sport among American adults, but the gap between pro football and Major League Baseball is narrowing.

    Of those surveyed, 32% of American adults picked pro football as their favorite sport, down from 35% a year ago. Meanwhile, the number of people who picked baseball grew from 14% in 2013 to 16% this past year. At its peak popularity in 2011 (36%), the NFL had a 23% lead over MLB. That gap is now just 16%.

    Meanwhile, the popularity of pro basketball (NBA) remains steady at 6%, behind college football and auto racing, a place the sport has held consistently since Michael Jordan era when the NBA nearly caught MLB in popularity.

    Saying that the NBA is the favorite sport of 6% of the population behind NASCAR seems to be a good example of misleading with statistics. Basketball is probably the second or third favorite sport of more people than NASCAR is. I could be wrong. I don't watch basketball at all. But guys I know who are into sports follow it. I don't know anyone who knows anything about NASCAR.

    This whole Lord's Resistance Army angle as a Christian terrorist group is relatively new. For years the left's response to Christians-are-terrorists-too was Timothy McVeigh (an atheist) and a handful of abortion doctor killings. But the past month or so (post Paris) I've seen the LRA being touted as a Christian terrorist group. I assume it's a talking point put out by TPM or Think Progress and floated up (to Harf) and down (online political forums).

    But I had reason to study the LRA back in the 1990's and since it's recently turned up as exhibit A for Christian terrorism I went back and checked online to see if our knowledge base had expanded on it, and still, it's ideology is pretty vague to outsiders. It may be a Christian terrorist group for all know, but the public information on it is too limited to draw those conclusions, unless you're simple minded enough to see "Lord" and assume it has to be Christian, which I wouldn't put past Harf.
