actually, no, no one really seems to care.
it's all gay rights right now. and the loud minority who're pissed off about the monsanto act.
if we did start another "war" (or extended military engagement) i don't think anyone would really care. having our troops overseas battling some faceless enemy with non-capitalist ideals has been the norm for this generation.

So now even sitting down in your front room watching people kill each other is boring and uneventful? Hee hee
If there is a war (which there won't be) N Korea will put up one hell of a fight. Read up on things! Get interested!

if they actually showed things like live combat footage which depicts the real-life results of war, we would likely have a very different situation on our hands.
as is, we get talking heads and random tallies that another two of our own boys died way over there. aren't you glad you don't have to deal with this in your own back yard?

Monsanto are frighteningly influential and powerful, actually. The way they have totally monopolized GM technology is concerning. Can there be a war against them?

Yes i'm sure Nebraska will be fine. You lot are supposed to care about South Korea as you are 'quite tied'.
Anyway as long as you can get fat and play video games, make shitty music in order to feel like you belong, i don't see why you should worry about war. War was only ever real when the Nazis stirred up a fuss, innit? Barely anyone has suffered or died since, thanks to your praying.
What is sad and funny is that the american citizens apparently don't care about anything but their navel.

yeah i figured that would be the case.
crazy, ive heard nothing of this monsanto law. but i'm living in a GMO free country so it aint too much bother here i guess.
fuck it anyways, ive splashed enough roundup around in my days for it to far out weigh any good i can do against monsanto now.
drill rods your working in mining yeah?

monsanto monsanto monsanto. i go to the grocery stores and the green fucking peppers are still green fucking peppers. who gives a fuck? if you don't like them, grow that shit in your backyard. no one's going to stop you unless you go into biz and make more than a few thousand a year (ditto for about anything else in life that's regulated).
north korea is not going to start a war on purpose. maybe by accident (someone on the border falls and trips on a missile launcher) but not on purpose. they're gonna yell at a lot to attempt to solidify jong-un's legitimacy and probably DDoS some south korean servers and then attempt to squeeze more aid out of the UN and China

Although a huge ally, China is rather upset it seems.

Ah but it's their effects on farmers and the environment that get people reeled up. Oh and their relentless pushing of the boundaries of intellectual property. Farmers using their crops can no longer collect seeds for next year's crop, since that apparently violates Monsanto's rights to their intellectual property - and that applies even if their seeds are unintentional hybrids of Monsanto strains.
Plus, a lot of their strains are not designed with the Greater Goodâ„¢ in mind - instead of creating strains that are resistant to pests, they have a lot of strains that are resistant to pesticides, allowing farmers to use MORE, despite that the agriculture biz as a whole should most definitely be using LESS.
Basically, they have a frightening and ever-increasing degree of control over our methods of food production, and there is a lot of scope for them to use that control to fuck people over.

I expect you to feel Very Concerned about This Sort Of Thing, and to answer as such on any public-opinion-related questionnaires you ever happen to be bored enough to answer.

1) I would care about N. Korea if I thought they were a threat to me (but they're not.)
2) If they were a threat and I cared there'd be fuck all I could do about it anyway.
This is about Americans just wanting to be fat and play videogames just as much as it is about British IDM fans sitting around at home on the dole and making shit AFX ripoff songs ten years after his prime.

I said "americans" because of the context. Of course it's not just "the states".
