It most of the so-called civilized world only a dimwitted mentally-challenged fool would vote Republican, but, it's the States, where the nucular chimp got reelected.
Obama's the least worst US president of the last decade(s), if you're not gonna vote Nader or similar then please do reelect Obama, at least he seems to know there's a world outside of the US borders.
This has been my flaming rant of the year. Bite away, Jack. :)

Weird indeed.
How old is the winner?
Why would someone pay, so much, for inexperienced sex, with a butterface... is beyond me.
She's an adult, it's her body, she's mentally sane, not hurting others... so i don't care. And yes, sex for money is prostitution in a lot of countries - so in which country will the actual sale take place? Maybe a US state?

China's becoming way too powerful, especially economically, for the US to mess with.

May be? People have died of extensive videogame playing, it's already happening and it'll only get worse. Eventually humanity's social skills will drop to zero and we'll all breed in-vitro 'cos we won't even know of any other alternative that's comfortable.

One week was not enough :( 1, 4 and 8 i agree with. They're also polite: first day we arrived a business type stopped and gave directions to the two foreigners who were looking at a map; the last night 3 office workers who had missed the last train showed us a nice bar, we left at 6am and that was my last hangover. Tokyo seemed clean enough, that impressed me as well. And quiet, mostly, much more quiet than i'd expected. As for the other points i dunno.
On the down-side those squeaky girly annoying women who'd come up to you in Akihabara with pamphlets for massages and what not were really annoying. That and this weird (to me) tendency of women pretending to be 13yos... kinda inciting pedophilia. All other japanese sex "deprivations" don't really bother me one bit but, Japanese women... please be womenly, not childish.

By "Russians" do you mean military or do you mean those regular neonazi freaks like their american NRA counterparts? Evidence, please? If i see some americans on the street burning the russian flag can i say There are americans burning the russian flag?
He doesn't, and some say his win is debatable. He does need to make a stand when someone who might soon become US-president is quoted as saying that Russia is "without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe". IF someone is eager to start Cold War II that would be Romney. I don't like Putin, but he's not stupid. Romney, on the other hand...
They (both sides) most likely did during the Cold War. Nowadays? Only fools like Romney do.

No, Putin's implying that's what Romney will do if elected.
That's fear-mongering BS and you know it, both countries are well aware of MAD.

She doesn't need to preach anything, she still has commercial gain no matter what. Those people didn't go to her concert to watch her support Pussy Riot or gay rights, they went to her concert. Period. They'd go either way.
I never liked her music, but it's good that she uses her celebrity status to promote and publicize these issues. And Nadezhda's too damn cute to be incarcerated. (Refrain from considering the last sentence as serious in tone, albeit true in nature.)

The Gmail web interface is very nice and the labels were a good idea. That's all i have to say that's positive about Google, Inc.; they are becoming evil. Time to change again i guess.

Anti-gay laws, mix between church and state (in a post-Communist country!), rise in neo-nazi activity, censorship... Russia's going backwards again.
