Much ado about nothing, both countries rely on American Troops for protection and therefore unless America says different things will remain status-quo. The Dokdo thing is why over done by both sides but in particular one side seems to out do the other though, taking out advertisements out in the NYT and printing that Dokdo is Korean on dry cleaning bags. Japan should just follow China's lead, slant drilling and catch fish on the boarder of the EEZ during their migration.
History textbook whitewashing in China's case is easy enough to find;

The guy with the shoe explosives happened when Bush was in power, how does that Detriot attack demostrate that Obama is the opposite of Bush?
Richard Reid was arrested, tried and sentenced in the American justice system. So then does the same rant against Obama, also apply to Bush for allowing the exact same thing to happen?
That would make the Country a lot safer, what is the appropriate chant to go along with a statement like that; Anarchy! Anarchy! Anarchy! Down with authority!

The socialists/communists didn't like Bush, even after he socialized the banking system with TARP. Why would they treat Obama any different?
The Ironic thing is after receiving the peace prize and finishing Copenhagen, he ordered missile attacks on Yemen. Niether peaceful nor carbon reducing.

Why would you(and the people from the above quote) as an Atheists differiante Christianity from Paganism? Pagan's had deities, god and goddess worshipped. The sacred trees were an ancient custom, which some believe is traced back to worship of Thor's oak or early pagans trying to keep the sun from completely disappearing. It seems like a very inconscient view point to have.

Never really found anything with Facebook, a little common sense when using facebooks goes along way, only post things that won't embarrass you and be selective about who allow to be your friends.
Ah yes, the old pretentious pseudo-intellectual attack on "social misfits". As much as picking up the phone and actually talking to someone is nice and all. Most phones are incapable of showing pictures, video's and other such things. When my best friend, who at the time was 6,000km aways, had his frist kid, I was albe to see pictures right away because he posted them on facebook(something a phone couldn't do, although he did call to tell me the news).
As well sometimes I play poker, chess, and etc. with my friends and family on facebook, as much as I would love to be able to visit them all and play games/socialize with them face to face, work and geographic locations often prevent me from seeing them as much as I would like and talking on the phone, altough always fun, never quite beats a good game of poker.

Yes freedom of expression include the right to offend others. That being said if someone wants to express an offensive idea that is fine but when someone wants to force their offensive ideas on me, then no it is not right that should be included in freedom of expression, as it imposes on other freedoms I have. For instance a recent incident my wife and I had with a skinhead.
I was told you're a race traitor because your dating an Asian (offensive yes, but within his freedom of expression). When he added that I most get rid of my wife and join the white nation, then he doesn't have the right to freedom of expression, because his demands conflict with my own personal freedoms.

Carbon-fiber wave-piercing trimaran, is it really safe in the swells that Antarctica have? As well I wonder if the ghostly tune has been tested on whales to see how they react. Certain sounds have been known to unbalance whales or cause them to beach themselves.

I could see beer with a burger but why Bourbon?
Good sir I would like your finest Whopper and a Bourbon Sour. If you don't have a Bourbon Sour perhaps a Kentucky Blizzard or a Bloody Jim.
Most likely it will just be a whiskey-cola.

As a kid, playing video games on the computer, taught me the ins and outs of adjusting/upgrading hardware, the basic of software/internet programming and typing skills. A skill set that in my field gave me an advantage over those who didn't have the same exposure to computers that I had and as a result my pay and the types of projects I work are better.

No person deserves to be sexual harassed, sad that it seems to on such a large scale.
Ironic considering she is talking to the public about sexual harassment when making that statement.
