McDonald's Installing DNA Security

They had no problem with an invasion of Russia, China, and S.E Asia, which combined are surely no small amount of land nor people.

Germany fits easily into the size of Texas, and got pretty close to controlling all of Europe, as did Napoleon before him.

England is a tiny island and at one point controlled many other large countries.

Heck, even going back to antiquity, a single city-state Rome had a vast empire, which really only fell when the "barbarians" had upgraded from fighting naked with sticks to aquiring armor and steel weapons nearly as good as that of Roman infantry.

Germany and Japan never had to stage and cross an entire ocean to invade another country.

Just check your facts, that quote is not historically accurate.

The British Empire did! Japan is bigger and more populated than the UK. So...

But yeah the wiki says its misattributed. Looks like he did use a variotion of my lion and dogs quote though, lol!

"The fiercest serpent may be overcome by a swarm of ants." Yamamoto

Wouldn't WWII be a good example?

The United States army was miniscule prior to WWII due to an isolationist foreign policy, and Japanese leaders had considered the possibility of a strategic invasion of US soil, just as had been done with the Soviets. Yamamoto replied that this would be impossible due to the armed citizenry, as he replied "There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass".

Look, it's a nice quote and I am certainly not against armed populace. However, I believe an actual army is more than capable of dealing with armed civilians because...

Just ask our soldiers who are in Afghanistan.

For the sake of this particular argument, lets ask the people of Afghanistan whose country has been occupied for about a decade now. I don't see all the foreign paid murderers going home. Armed locals can be annoying at best. What can they really do? Bring more guns? They are going to get hammered if they even attempt to do so.

Wow, judge the message, not the messenger. I can drop you a quote from a number of other presidents re: the 2nd amendment. Maybe one of them will fit your political dogma (though I doubt it).

You know that the Army is comprised of conscripted citizens, right? You know that army bases, their equipment, and soldiers are spread throughout this entire country. Every single revolution in the history of mankind started small, that's a fact that should not be easily dismissed.

Government, regardless of what they possess, is not an entity that is all-powerful. The argument that they have "drones, nukes, smart-missles" is fallacious. We have those things, the people, and if we want to take them back from the government, it'll start at the business end of a rifle. End of story.

I believe in the message, although I am not sure it's relevant anymore. And please, spare me the quotes of US presidents - chances are I've never heard of them. That particular one I remember myself without looking up his name in Wikipedia or something.

Care to point out what particular army is comprised of conscripted citizens? Here's a list to help you out.

No government is all-powerful, yet some are very indeed powerful and manage to preserve that status for many years. Don't get me wrong but you're clearly delusional if you think all those drones, nukes, carriers, etc. are at your disposal. You don't have them, your military does and you are not in control lololo. Besides, revolutions don't "start at the business end of a rifle". The idea is first.

I read the title and my first thought was that they were taking DNA samples as part of a new meat selection process.

Yes, if someone is caught stealing, a floor tile opens up and drops them into the meat grinder.

That's how they keep food costs down!
