I don't pass very often in front of a KH, since they are built so far away on the outskirts of the city. But when I do pass, I slow down and even make a U turn in the parking lot to see who still goes, and who doesn't go anymore. I count the cars in the parking lot, and I multiply by 2.5 to give me an approximate evaluation of how many people there are in the hall. If there is less than 50 people in the hall, I laugh.

Friction between us
by JH inhow do you react when a person makes fun of your posts on this site?
maybe it never happened to you, but for those that this happened, how do you react when a person seems to be doing on purpose to put you down for what you said or just say the opposite of what you're saying?
do you forgive, or do you hate a few people on this site?

Not invited
by dmouse ini am alone at home tonight.
my wife and children are busy having dinner and 'spiritual association' with an elder and his wife.. i wasn't invited, even though i am not da or df, just inactive.
and although i've made my position clear in that i'm not interested anymore i've never made any trouble really.. i didn't think it would hurt but it does.

They love to divide families. Even if you're only inactive, they will put you in the same bunch as DF'd people. Even if you were active, but not to their taste, maybe they wouldn't have invited you either.

Yes it does get very cold in Russia, especially in January, but you will still see JW's walking the streets looking for recruits. Nothing stops them, not even the Russian winter.

Can the US police the whole world?
by JH ineven if the united states is the only superpower, can it really make war with iraq, and tackle north korea, and keep an eye on china, and other countries at the same time?
why does the us always have to take care of troubled spots all over the world by itself?
why can't japan and south korea take care of the north korean crisis?

Britain always was a great ally for the US. What I said was
But when I say other countries should help, I mean other countries in NATO.
The US and England are always helping each other. Good friends with a common goal
France doesn't seem to do much, and so many others also.
I reacted badly when you and the other one said that it was a stupid question. If I would have included britain, and said
Why does the US and BRITAIN always have to take care of troubled spots all over the world by itself?
would it have been more acceptable?
Some countries like Turkey are sending troops also, but they want 10% of the oil. Some countries will only help if they get a piece of the cake. That doesn't make a strong coalition.

What a stupid question
Now include the word Britain, and all of a sudden, it becomes a good question. Really???
It is a good question, that you didn't answer. The US may be a Super Power, but it can't take care of the whole world by itself, unless you rather stay sitting on your ass sipping tea, and hoping somebody else does the job. But other countries should also contribute actively, not just the US. The US has 2.1 million soldiers LESS than during the cold war. The US can't send troops to Iraq and NK at the same time. The US is only 4% of the total population of the world. It is also very expensive to do the job all by itself. 1 month after a war with Iraq, they will be out of cruise missiles, like they were after the first gulf war in 91. If a conflict happened elsewhere then and there, the US could not cope with it. Thats why other countries will little or no military power at all should invest and play an active role on the world scene next to the US. Also, when the US acts alone, the whole world hates us, and then blows up buildings to protest. Other countries should also back the US and act like one. The US always takes the initiative on the world scene. If the US didn't, who would? That's the reasoning behind the question you found stupid.
When I say other countries should help, I mean other countries in NATO.

What country would be stupid enough to wait for the us to be at full power to cause trouble. I think that if the US goes to war with Iraq, that's the right time for N.Korea to cause trouble elsewhere, knowing that the US in occupied with Iraq. That also goes for China, who wants Taiwan back.
