    Niall Ferguson: The 6 killer apps of prosperity

    http://www.ted.com Over the past few centuries, Western cultures have been very good at creating general prosperity for themselves. Historian Niall...

    UCBfan1 UCBfan1 commented:

    If you want to be as rich and powerful as the West, you have to start thinking and behaving like the West. This means getting over your own cultural chauvinism and swallowing your pride. The American South had to do this after the Civil War and Japan had to do it after WWII. It's apparently wo...

    Occupy Wall Street: Police brutality, media blackout

    As Occupy Wall Street demonstrations enter their second week, over 80 people were arrested over the weekend and police brutality surges on the stre...

    UCBfan1 UCBfan1 commented:

    @txl301md Everything you say may be true. My fear is that this movement, which seems on the whole a healthy and needed thing, is populated by people interested in nothing more than political theatre. There seems to be an almost forgone conclusion in the dynamics of this, where certian things a...

    801 Naval Air Sqn HMS Invincible

    Filmed during workups for HMS Invincible with the Sea Harriers of 801 Naval Air Squadron.

    UCBfan1 UCBfan1 commented:

    You tube postings of military technology subject always end up being less about the technical subject matter and more about childish trash talking. How exactly did the Fleet Air Arm "run rings" around the U.S. Navy and Marines? Because you say so? Gotta love that baseless braging.

    @andseibel "exploitation indeed occur" puts it a little too lightly I think. Stalin was the greatest mass murderer in history. He starved, executed, and jailed millions. I can't believe you are trying to blame the West for what the Soviet government did to its own people. You don't have to ta...

    Missile Defense: A Myth?

    Plans for missile defense systems have been a hot topic, to say the least, for years now. The Obama administration scrapped the Bush administration...

    UCBfan1 UCBfan1 commented:

    Moreover, every decoy that an enemy has to put on their missile is one less warhead they will be able to lob at us. So even if missile defense doesn't work, it still works to degrade an adversary's strike capability. Also, if the intercept described above, (which Postol seems to admit is possi...

    Shelby Steele on President-Elect Obama

    Shelby Steele says Barack Obama won the presidential election by successfully basing his candidacy on race. We know very little about the content o...

    UCBfan1 UCBfan1 commented:

    @IWubYooz If you really believe what you say here, then you are delusional. White America has suffered from the sad sickness of white guilt for decades. The fact that you say that you stopped watching after six minutes says volumes. White Americans have had to suffer with assumptions based...

    John F. Kennedy and General Curtis LeMay

    In 1949, Curtis LeMay was appointed as head of Strategic Air Command (SAC) and is credited with overseeing its transformation into a modern air for...

    UCBfan1 UCBfan1 commented:

    I am curious as to what "faith" JoeZaza100 is talking about. Whatever it is, it failed to protect Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Afghanistan from armed Soviet aggression. I also would like to know where is gets the idea that the American public is clamoring for nuclear arms reduction. It may in...
