Well he had never even heard of the attack on Pearl Harbor. They don't mention it at in their schools. And though we warred like the Native Americans which they thought meant we would cut out their hearts and eat them and all this other barbaric and cannibalistic things. And he didn't know about the Japanese officers that would shoot the soldiers and women and children if they wouldn't die in battle or commit suicide.

I recently had a ethics and philosophy class with a Japanese foreign exchange student and his insight on WWII was very interesting.

The problem is that the size of the population and the IQ of said population are inversely related.

It was an anti-trump protest. That same day another anti-trump protest tried to block a highway but one of the idiots got hit by a car and because of the blocked traffic the ambulance couldn't get to them.

I've seen these before, they are crazy and scary. The roots of some trees will interconnect and you can have a wildfire burn and the fire will hit a barrier like a road, stream or firefighters stop it. However the sap in the roots will burn/smolder, like coal in a coal mine, and travel through the roots and up another tree until it comes in contact with oxygen and start the fire again.

Well you can't argue with someone who doesn't have an open mind :) but I will explain those questions you have.
As to the sources, it lists them as CNN, FOX, etc as their viewers for those games. What other factors are you talking about?
And only one league is because that is the base league for the US Womens National team.
And yes as I said with the third link there was ONE game where it was watched more. No one is disputing that, however, that was ONE game.
Just curious, do you have 3 sources showing womens soccer is watched more than mens?

Here are some interesting things for you to look at.
These are stats on viewers for the US Mens and US Womens during their world cups. Men's was definitely watched more.
http://www.socceramerica.com/article/68281/tv-viewers-us-men-vs-us-women.html
In MLS the average attendance was 21,574 per game. The NWSL average was 5,064 a game.

As a side note, when everyone brings up the 2015 Women's World Cup final USA vs Japan, it had more viewers than the NBA finals. It was a one time thing, not a regular thing.

This is a tough one. On one hand you have the revenue the teams bring in. The revenue from the men's and the women's isn't the same. This last year the Men's team brought in $73 Million being ranked number #35 in the world while the Women's team, ranked #1 in the world, only brought in $35 Million. So the Women's team brought in about half while being ranked #1 and the Men ranked #35.
On the other hand the Women's team isn't getting as much pay/reimbursement for travel expenses and meals and that's pretty pathetic no matter how you try to spin that one.
Still though it's a little hard to feel bad for the women who, while they still make less than the men, still make $200,000 a year.

Sounds like communism in the making. First the 65 and older don't vote. Then the 30 and younger can't vote because they don't have enough experience. Then its the people of various other groups for one reason or another. Pretty soon it's, 'the government knows best and will take care of you'.
