"The Chicago democrat machine ain't what it used to be. They were supposed to bribe the Olympic Committee, not the Nobel Committee!" Good to see a sense of humour in the US. We don't see enough of it around here. Too many people taking themselves way too seriously. (Sledge Hammer! only survived two seasons). The Nobel Prize is usually for some vague accomplishment in the past, not some action you just might do in the future. At this rate I have an outside chance of the Fysics award next year. (Sorry, Physics)

$1,000,000,000,000? Value for money? I wonder if 14-year-old Abeer Qassim al-Janabi thought so?

Scientists can prove what happened 700 years ago but they can't tell us what is going to happen tomorrow. Biology books are full of 'facts' of happenings 10 billion years ago but telling us that the Kobe earthquake was going to happen was is beyond scientists. Scientific method requires 100% certainty not inspired guesswork.

United States of Europe here we come. We too will have a Supreme Court to make all the important decisions. What worthwhile democracy would allow the plebs to decide anything? A democratic decision so long as Bushlover etc. agrees with it. Ireland had no choice. If the answer had been 'no' again this time there would have been another vote and another and another until the stupid Irish people got it right. That's how democracy works. That's how 'liberals' operate. Liberal is everything they agree with.

Why would Ireland after spending 700 years plus gaining independence give it all away so cheaply?

"Police said he had grabbed the kids as they walked with their mother to their new school in the southern Japanese city." Poor, poor kids.

Madrid's a great city. And a dark horse. Rio is the sentimental choice and Tokyo would be fun. But Chicago? Well, they did produce 'The Blues Brothers' so they can't be all bad.

Is he not afraid of provoking an American 'liberation'? Mael, Mael, Mael ... Has all the brainwashing we've done had no effect at all?

Marriage is a tough school but a good one. If you want to grow up fast try it. Divorce has become too much of an easy option. Marriage with a divorce safety net isn't really marriage.

Operation 'Liberation Iraq' continues apace. I wonder how Abeer feels about it but then she's not American, is she? It was Vietnam, now Afghanistan and Iraq. Next year Iran. And for what? And Mr.Green doesn't even get the death penalty. I'm sure his lawyer is very proud. And Abeer and her family ... Justice ...?

What's all the fuss about? There were around 500,000 abortions in Japan last year. What's a few minutes more or less? "The Japanese system, the families of both father and mother should all hang their heads in shame for letting this innocent baby meet it's end so tragically and so prematurely." It happens all the time. If a baby can be killed legally at nine months ..."

FromEurope. Sarcasm? I know I shouldn't. Osakadaz. Where's the money? It was Henry Ford all those years ago. Who is it now? Everything you said is true but it's going to happen again and again and again and again. "However, the independent Government Accountability Office reported to Congress earlier this year that the withdrawal would be a “massive and expensive effort” that would likely increase war costs by billions." Brainwashing doesn't come into it. How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving.
