A) So... you do?  I don't get what your saying here.

B) As your post below shows, even as a percentage of budget.  What the US spends isn't "10 times higher" then the next guy.

It's fine.  Espiecally considering that NATO is really just "The USA protects most of your shit so you don't have to spend money on defense for old outdated political reasons and so the US always has baked in allies whenever it wants to attack someone."


This isn't really so much about what you said as it is about your grammar.  It's not a huge deal, but it does kind of bother me a little bit.  

The "then" should be "than" because "than" is used for comparison, while "then" is time related.  I don't have a comment on the subject because I don't know enough about all this stuff to have any valuable input.

So Japan is in a dispute with two countries over Islands. One being Korea and the other being China, now.

Japan really must like their islands!

I have a mild case of dysgraphia that bleeds over into my typing.  Sue me.

Why not fine some dyslexic people to bug as well if you want focus on pointless grammar mistakes where the intent is clear.

I was just saying because the error made was consistent enough to have been changed.  I never said you had to make the change, I was just drawing your attention to it incase you weren't already aware.

China doesn't like Japan. What's new?

You can include pretty much any and every Asian country in either spot there. They all hate each other very much. It's funny how prejudice and racism is accepted as commonplace in East Asian cultures.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

It's more sad than funny, Outlaw. :P

But I have noticed that.

But it's funny is a more horrible ironic way than just a general comedic laugh.

Just to clarify, what do you mean by ironic?

It's just a conflict of reality and stereotypes.
