What is weird is that of all those, the one I use the least is the dime. Usually you use quarters, then nickles, than pennies to get change done. The dime is smaller, but usually you can make change without it the way things are usually priced these days.
That and while some machines take them, there are no longer dime slot machines in places like Reno. You might find a nickle machine, but not a dime version as they are too small and sometimes mess up the innards. Trouble is, that if they remove the penny and nickle...they likely have to remove the quarter as well since they would round to the nearest ten (dime) and thus nothing would ever be worth a quarter of a dollar...just twenty or thirty cents. But then you could just remove a zero from the currency and the dime is a penny, and the dollar is a dime. Lincoln would be on the 50 cent piece (of paper). Of course then you get interesting things happening. We have old tenth of a penny coins ($0.001), the half penny ($0.005), the penny, the 2 and a half cent nickle ($0.025), the five cent nickle, and paper dime. The paper Fifth ($0.20). The paper half dollar ($0.50). The dollar, the two dollar, the five dollar, and the ten dollar. All these are present day dollars and cents reduced by one decimal place. $0.001 Lincoln (removed) $0.005 Jefferson (removed) $0.01 FDR $0.025 Washingon (potentally removed) $0.05 Kennedy $0.10 Washington (paper version only) $0.20 Jefferson (potentally refitted to replace the old Quarter) $0.50 Lincoln $1.00 Hamilton $2.00 Jackson $5.00 Grant $10.00 Franklin (Looks like we need new printed money....Need to pay for a new computer for more than $50) You could get several Euros for every "dollar" though.

And a possible nuclear winter in Asia :
Insight: Obama's North Korean leap of faith turns to ashes Japan goes off script at nuclear summit to slam North Korea Quote:
LMT and RTN are going up. Let's hope they don't get ready for war and keep alongside the sentiment of sell-in-May, and thus the business cycle. Besides, jeopardising Obama's chance in politics has problems twofold - the arms industry is going to keep going up and money is going to flow out of the other sectors towards there, we lose the last shot at cleaning up this damn financial mess.

As much as I respect the saints who lead the organisations to build a more human world, sometimes they need to stand aside and let us flatten those blockheads into oblivion, collateral damage or not.

not likely since the West won't accept take the kind of casualties that would result form a war with NK. The media is talking about the four thousand us soldier that died in Iraq over 10 years as if it was some huge number. 4k is less then some of the battles in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, KW and Vietnam.

It's not just the lives lost, but what the survivors have to live with. Remember that the point of Iraq and Afghanistan was to retaliate against the people who committed 9/11. I'm sure the terrorists thought it was worth those small amount of lives too, for the chance to kill thousands and bring a nation to its knees. 4000 may not seem like much, but when you consider that many of those lives were of young men and women who were but mere elementary school children back in 2001, it says enough.

Frankly, I find almost any discussions on DPRK to be full of crackpot speculations. DPRK is rational, it's just not the kind of rational a post-modern pacifist society can accept. This basic fact is what makes most writings on DPRK to be as fantastic as how Western Europe described the outside world half a millennium ago. |

It is just that for some people in this country, an American soldier dying is the worst, because, you know, it is an American life, which is a more important life than any other type of life, especially when compared to dark skinned people who believe in a different god and live in some God forsaken dessert. I posted some picture taken from a white mother (American) taken from an online post (social media post), and she was talking about that U.S. soldier that killed 17 Afghanistan people, and she was downplaying his crime and even called the people he killed "just a bunch of savages" and that "they are primitive people". I mean, really? It just boggles my mind how some people can be.
