Wait, let me get this straight. Mr. Ahminijad(can't remember how to spell his name.) can speak in the US, a dictator sets up a tent for a bit in the US and talks smack at the UN... and Britain doesn't let some guy with a beef against Islamic extremist ideology speak in their country? Wow, I thought they had freedom of speech too, but guess not. So much for "western" freedoms. Looks like it's going out the window.
I've always said if you become too politically correct, your enemies can use it against you until you finally fall.

Blurring lines nuthin. Virtual fantasy yes, but no way near real. Only way to truely blur this is an android or bio mehcanical clone (Then we'll start having to worry about sentient rights for artifically intelligent beings heh).
As I always say though, "She's got some purty nice curvy polygons" chuckle But can she really sing well knowing the current crew of J-singers? Muhahaha!

There was also another side of the story besides the main corruption in the current Afghan "government" (I use that term loosely). Some of the Afghan people that try to become elected officials that appear to be of sound judgement and less likely to join in corruption are either sent death threats (probably not just from the Taliban, but corrupt officials),or assassinated out right. Its quite disgusting... The only reason the US and other allies are there is because we don't want a "safe haven" for terrorist orginazations.
The Taliban may have kept the country in line as far as their iron hand religious ideology, but corruption still existed and OBL and his crews didn't have anything to worry about either. You can lead a crazy horse to water but you can't make 'em drink.

Remember the old saying, "Quality not quantity"? 5-6 cars and 20 officers and a helicopter would have been much more efficient. Of course if some silly person is saying 40 cars, 100 officers, and a helicopter when all it was is just 100 officers given a heads up instead of actually being involved in the chase and apprehension of the suspects then they need to work on their reporting skills.

It's good as far as the bodybuilding ideology, but it's completely ruined by the gawd awful tanning attempts.

Lol yeah, Mr. Obama looked and sounded pretty shocked himself, "Anyone get the license of that Nobel Peace Prize that hit me?" I gotta agree with him, he doesn't think he's done anything to deserve it. It hasn't even been a full year of presidency and everyone still seems to be expecting him to change reality so everything takes effect immediately.

There are a ton of requirements that need to be met before MJ should be legalized. First of all is the rules and regulations that apply to cigarettes need to be applied to the weed. Only licensed farmers should be allowed to grow it. And of course all smoking/non-smoking rules apply as well (y'know, don't smoke around the kids etc.)

Uhm... ok. Wait, if Iran blows up the heart of Isreal (where the heck is that anyways?)if the -> US <- attacks, then what happens next? The US won't be hurting. Kind of a really stupid statement that shows Iran is thinking they can hold another country hostage.

The museums had better start making replicas ASAP upon this news. True that if they had remained in Egypt it would have disappeared anyway, and some private collector or overwealthy eccintric would have it stashed away somewhere. Hmm, how long before that gold mask disappears once it returns?

One also has to remember that being muslim is pretty much considered to be placed on you from birth if you're born in an Islamic family. Easy way to make the numbers add up if your baby can't say anything close to a choice that an adult makes upon them.

This is sad. Even if Pakistan accepted it, it would still be like pouring money down a tube. I remember watching a program about international corruption. And one of the government leaders (who just happened to be Arab) was rolling in financial aid said, "Why are you westerners nagging us about corruption? Who are you to judge me?"
The answer to this is what is happening to Pakistan and Afghanistan. No one can expect to build anything good from a place over-run with corrupt officials. When the time comes for them to walk the walk to save their society, they have nothing but a wet paper saftey net.

This is news? The only thing I'd prefer to know is how many of them are extremists or have an extreme ideology about their beliefs.

While I'm not one to criticize a pic of pretty girls, I absolutely can't stand this promotion of terrible singing chorus' Japan loves to push out. I'd love if they'd actually work harder on pushing out pretty girl groups that can gasp sing! More singing less squeeling.

Its not about "sin" Burakumindes, its about integrity and respect for other people. Not everyone in the US is a christ humping, bible thumper. If a person gets married they (by their own choice) have decided to obligate themselves to another human being. When that trust is broken its the same as breaking any other promise. David Letterman is just one among many.

I like that idea someone mentioned to take a nice photo of the repeat offender. Take their picture, then fine them to make some nice big posters of that photo to post around the stations stating, "My name is -------, I am a groper." Or at each station have a plastic screen with all these guys photos on the "Wall of groping offenders". The women can look and identify them on sight...

Nice to see them accomplishing something. But considering that about 50% of them were repeat offenders... they need to meet out stronger punishments to those that have been caught before.
Best thing is to fine them a nice big chunk of money, if they can't pay send them to a slammer for a week or two or three. Make them think twice about it instead of "oop, I'm gonna get chewed out by the coppers ane then go home in shame so I can repeat it again tomorrow with no serious consequnces."

Doubt their using cosmetics, South Korea is known as one of the "Cosmetic surgery capitols" of the world. They might have a good 40% of their face synthetic and not natural.
