You know, I think the waving was actually better than ever this year. It sure looks like they`ve been practising, because it was really a delight to see.

Yeah right. Why else would a plain skinny unattractive girl with no personality get all the TV, CM and silly award coverage that she gets at the moment ?
What a delightful description. And so true too!

I think it`s best if South Korea sits back and plays the waiting game. One day that whole disgusting excuse for a government will collapse as the military separates into opposing factions. The South will then be able to clear up the mess and bring civilization to the proles there.
I don`t think the Israel/Palestine problem will be solved in my lifetime, but I am optomistic about the Korean Peninsular.

I don
t think this sounds ridiculous at all. There are some very unpleasant, inconsiderate people who puff away without giving a stuff about anybody around them. Its because of these irresponsible people that Butt Police are required.Posted in: Make way for the Butt Police

> “Brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun,” 31-year-old Faisal Shahzad told a federal judge. “Consider me the first droplet of the blood that will follow.”
This is just so bizarre on so many levels.
First droplet of blood?
He was neither killed or wounded, and many people have already died. What an insult to his brethren!
This guy talks like he wants his pic up on bedroom walls, while ignoring the people who have gone before him and paid with their lives.

Ono: First of all, I’m not sure if I’m not going to be there.
I was kind of thinking how nice it`d be to outlive Yoko Ono so that I could live in a Yoko Ono-free world. It would be a shame if some technology came along and denied me my wish.

Can`t someone just hand Ozawa a fishing rod with some bait, and point in the direction of the nearest body of water.
Nobody believes him when he starts up with "Nihon no tame ni..."
What would go through Obama`s mind while reading his track record, if he were to become his counterpart.
