is the Federal government incompitent as they look or are they pretending to be incompitent as a facade for secretive programs?
like publicly the F35 is a beauracratic mess, Congress is in gridlock, we have military leaders doing shady personal life choices, and agencies not doing their job such as the TSA, Secret service. but could this all be a facade to cover up a military industrial complex such as DARPA, and a massive survellance state such as the NSA. could the black budget be bigger then we think and could the U.S government have much more advanced technology and programs then where let to think?

8 AnswersPolitics6 years agoI am getting annoyed by girlfriends immaturity, lack of inititative, and naive reactions minor troubles in life what do i do?
I love my girlfirend but she is immature because everything is a sex joke and looks phalic to her and she makes inappropriate sex comments in front of people. she has no initiative because she is fine with being demoted at where we work, wakes up at noon everyday, doesnt go to school, or intern where as i work 32 hours and do 10-15 credits at college. and doesnt follow through on what she says she will do. lastly she acted like losing her great grandfather was a earth shattering event in front of me when i have lost both my parents and 2 grandparents at 20. and acts like she needs to decompress when i do work and school every day.
Im tired of it should i talk to her and if she doesnt change leave the relationship?

4 AnswersPolls & Surveys6 years agoWhy is it that everyone is caring so much about Bruce Jenners " transformation'? isnt tolerance not making a big deal out of it?
I dont think " Catlyn "Jenner is sick, unatural or any other things people are saying about her. I think some people do feel that their born in the wrong body and i have no problem at all if they want to go that route, I believe that you should be able to do anything you want as long as your not hurting anyone.
however that aside i dont care either that much, so what she did that, if shes happy im happy end of story. if we were a socially liberal society we would not be making a huge deal out of it.
2 AnswersPolls & Surveys6 years agoRegarding the POTUS/DOJ new gun control regulations, what is a " high powered Pistol " and crimes have they been committed with?
http://thehill.com/regulation/243520-adm...
Im aware that the official list will come out in november but
are they talking of .357, ..44, Dessert EAgle, .500 S&W? if so how often are these used my mass shooters and criminals, when most criminals us cheap handguns ( Hi Points etc) that are not the quality of the above ones.
secondly why are they targeting " the mentally Ill". most mentally ill are not violent. Anti social personality disorder comes to mind as one that has some violence but even that is probably a small number. plus what would quality as involuntary committment? 72 hour hold? where as now it has to be more then 72 hours.
why are we restricting on domestic violence " perpetrators" when we are not restricting the fact that its quite easy to be convicted of domestic violence when it is not domestic violence

3 AnswersPolls & Surveys6 years agowhat are the chances of Syria turning into a militia ruled Jihadist paradise if Assad is deposed out of power?
http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/03/world/analysis-assad...
CNN themselves admits that the " moderate " rebels are allying with the al nusra and other islamic rebels.( I personally believe that this has been happening for alot longer then CNN wants to admit). I knew the article includes ideas of a political solution, but but if this is true and the FSA/Al nusra line blurs and a political solution does not happen wont Syria be ruled by Militias like Libya is? and since the islamist are the most powerful wont the islamist find power in Syria opening the door for control with Al Qaeas in Syria ( Al Nusra)?
