Sure, with just about any holiday it has been over commercialized, but I sure do miss the fun leading up to Halloween when I was a kid discussing wth friends what we would dress up as, and then making our rounds trick or treating. To be fair, I have seen…

I agree. Sending this tainted rice to North Korea would do the trick. As for using it for animal feed: bad idea, as it will inevitably somehow get back to us. Also, glue would not be a good idea, unless it is NOT the type that kids use (ala Elmer's).…

Jamaican Jerk Chicken blow KFC away for flavour.

I gotta agree with you. Jerk Chicken is the bomb! KFC sucks everywhere, but at least they don't have chicken with heads in them, like this:

This is a token pre-election ploy.

I would have to agree, since looking at the numbers at first glance (8,000 troops) many Americans would say "Wow! That's great. So many troops returning home." However, considering that there are 146,000 troops in Iraq now, that represents only a small fraction (5.4%).…

ColAmerica,

I am giving instances i recall

I do agree with you, that violence happens in every prison in the world, Japan included. I'm just asking kindly that you post a few sources so that I could check them out myself. That would be greatly appreciated. Please note that in…

That may be true (although I'm wondering why you haven't included any sources - I have), but I'm just reiterating the facts (as evidenced by my sources). I'm searching for your sources, as we speak.

I'd have to say that the Panasonic Toughbook is one of the best laptops around. A friend of mine has one and I've seen it in action. It is quite sturdy and durable. Toshiba and Dell offers some great laptops too. So I would say I would choose to buy…
