China-Vietnamese War of 1979

Aside from being ten years later than the original post indicated, there
was lots of collateral damage from our little adventure.

The whole line of thinking is absurd. I said religion makes war
possible, not inevitable. And not having an official religious community
doesn't mean the people aren't religious.

Subject -was- Persons-of-Faith A Threat To The US?
See 'Special-Dave'
.. . . or more importantly you don't see . . .

You are Blinded by your Biases against Religion;
and some might call it Hatred for Persons-of-Faith.

'Special-Dave' : It Ain't Religion
-but- Religion Is Often An Excuse.

'Special-Dave' : It's the "Ism"s !

Yeah "Theism" {Religion} is one of the "Ism"s

But 'Special-Dave' so is...
Monarchism {Kings & Czars etc} {The Great Leader}
Democratism {Great Leaders of The-People}
Republicanism {Great Leaders of The-People}
Socialism {Great Leaders and The Party}
Fascism {Great Leader of The-Party}
Communism {Great Leader of The-Party}
Theism* {Great Leader of The-Church}

* NOTE : The Only 'Theist' States today are all Islamic.
* Except for the Vatican {Catholic Church} and just how
many Military Divisions does the Pope have . . .

THE PROBLEM WITH "ISM"S :
At the Core {Backbone} of All These "Ism"s
Is 'The Organization' of the "Ism" and the Head
of 'The Organization' : The {Great} Leader !

=ABOUT= 'The Great Leader' -types- {Elitism}
# 1 - A Champion of 'The-Cause {Devoted To 'The-Cause'}
and Their Personal LEADERSHIP {ME-ism} of 'The-Cause'.
# 2 - Their LEADERSHIP {ME-ism} of a cause.

=WRT= Leaders and Leadership
-it's-simply-about- Elitist and Elitism
-and- Great Leaders "The Great Leader" -is-an- Uber-Elitist !

of leaders and leadership : is'm... or is'm not... ~ RHF©***

How Does Any of That Threaten The USA ?

Because religious people think they are better than everyone else; that
they have an inside track to a power structure; that their religion
gives them authority to destroy plants and animals and waterways and
tear down mountains. Yhat they can be as bad as there is and get it all
washed away. **** that.

Using obscene language is not tolerated here. Behave yourself.

In the 60's PRC and SU weren't exactly known as allies. In SE Asia
they did support any left radical movement by sending hardware and
advisors . For free.

That is total bull****. They are real diamonds. They are identical to
natural occurring diamonds. Indeed, no jeweler can tell them apart, from
"flawless" natural diamonds. Under an electron microscope they are
IDENTICAL ... however, the manmade diamonds are "too perfect."

With absolutely NO defects/impurities/flaws, it is a dead giveaway they
were made in a lab. It is possible to create the flaws and make the
manmade diamonds indistinguishable, even under the electron microscope
... however, this would cause a never ending series of lawsuits and
injunctions which would last decades or longer, as de beers protects
its' profits ...

The original article I posted,
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html , actually makes
note of this, just in a "very gentle way." Again, de beers is shaking in
its' boots. But, those on the inside would NOT invest in diamonds ...
platinum, gold, silver, etc. are the only way to go ... as worthwhile
investments go.

Well, Archi, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. If you
read what I wrote, you will see "artificial scarcity" and NOTHING about
artificial diamonds.

De Beers has enough diamonds stockpiled, that if they were all put on
the market at once, would make the value of diamonds ZERO. The Russian
were reminded of this and backed off from their plans to greatly expand
their exports.

It seems, we might agree on one thing, diamonds ARE worthless ... many
just don't realize that, yet ... the scarcity of microwave produced
diamonds are even artificially manipulated to keep their price at about
1/3 to 1/2 the cost of diamonds which are mined. As patents expire, in
the future, the prices will plunge ...
