Interesting. I must have missed the anime released by a Japanese studio that depicts the rape of Nanking or the comfort women issue. Maybe Gonzo or Studio IG can release a bluray version that illustrates this in its entirety. Ossan, why the need to politicize an event that really should…

OssanAmerica: I believe that mushroomcloud is referring to the worse case scenario in which China is anticipating war with the US, at which point they would dump the US bonds and move into gold or Euro denominated holdings. Your original comment maintained that in a state of war, the US…

JoeBigs, from the Bernama.com article that you posted:

"China sent its largest fishery patrol ship to police its economic exclusive zone (EEZ) in the South China Sea, two days after a skirmish between Chinese ships and an United States navy ship, state media reported"

What this means is that the…

Joe, thanks for keeping things civil as these types of discussions can become vitriolic very quickly.

First things first, let's narrow this discussion as otherwise it will start to expand out of control. Sovereignity over the Spratly Islands, though contentious is not relevant to this discussion. Hainan Island and the…

JoeBigs: This is the way I see it. The Impeccable was within 75 miles of Hainan, well within the Chinese EEZ. Because China is signatory to the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea (the US interestingly enough, is not), they are within their rights to challenge the Impeccable's…

Another one that shows what it was the Chinese ships were harassing.

The JT headline for this article is very misleading. It appears to connect two mutually independent events in chronological order i.e the suicide attack occurred because of US announcement of troop withdrawal.

Smith: You're welcome. As to your point about the two methods being complementary to each other, I don't think they are because the new methods are simply a better way of researching stem cells as it not only uses a patient's existing cells, but a type of cell that is…

While this is an encouraging development, this article is way behind the times when it comes to the current stem cell research environment. Despite, or rather in spite of the Bush administration's ban on stem cell research, various stem cell breakthroughs have occurred over the last 8 years. This research…
