Tjrandom: Indeed, there is a certain height until which airspace reaches, and if NK did launch over this there would be no problem, except for damaging debris. The Taepodong 2 is proven to be unsafe, thus NK should really make some concessions in this case, if their true wish is…

Personally, I think Japan should shoot it down, but that's only because 1) I wanna see if the anti-ICBM system works. 2) Japan needs to become more assertive so that we're not &/(&ed when the US goes down. Sure, it will have reprecussions, but I hardly think NK would go…

I would rather say that at least common sense is not universal and differ between cultures. Logic is supposed to be universal, but humans are generally unable to understand logic.

Face it, most of the building laws in the west have come about due to need. The culture is that…

I don't think the pressure in the school itself is the problem (most middle schools have pretty easy and failsafe curriculum), rather her family's pressing her to get into a good high school.

One more step toward the death of copyright. Bring forth the rum, mates!

Really good idea. I mean, Colloidal silver would only result in health complications in humans with silver allergy, and we don't need those anyway :p. Skin turning blue hasn't killed anyone yet, and it is only permanent ^_^.

As wesker wrote, most likely Yakuza. They used to throw acid in the eyes of the children of people who owed them money, I guess spray is more convenient, or it was just a warning. Several of the other cases were children were assaulted and humiliated in some way may…

Well, unfortunately for Russia Japan has this new strange constitution, so that they n longer recognize warfare as a legitimate settlement of disputes. Therefore, a peace treaty which surrenders (or gains) territory would be unconstitutional. Terribly convenient for us, as for as long Russia demands the islands, the old hawks…

War is definitely a possibility if things get bad enough, but I don't think we'll see a major one, MAD and all that.

As for solving the current crisis, we must first decide what we want out of our economy. Remember that an economy is only a tool for a…
