I have a lot of respect for the Royal Family. Having said that, may I ask why they never go to Pearl Harbor? Is it out of respect for the father? I just want to understand. Is it national pride?

I'll bet it was a female classmate who wanted to get revenge for something, like a stolen boyfriend, etc.

Always keep your seat belt fastened. This happened to me several years ago during meal service. In a split second, all the food was on the ceiling of the cabin. No warning.

PETA is pissed about a fly being killed. But they support a woman's "right to choose". What hypocrites.

The problem is the bigger picture in North Korea. With their economy on the brink of collapse, the population starving, and a government that is desperate, there's no telling what they'll do. If they think their country is about to go down the shiter, they may adapt a "Let's go out in a blaze of glory" attitude. That's when the sht will really hit the fan. And they know it. That's why they keep extorting money and food from the South and its allies.

The problem with a war on the Korean peninsula is that the major population centers in the South, like Seoul, would be overrun with possibly millions killed before the North Koreans are eventually pushed back north in another protracted conflict. The North Koreans have more tanks, artillery, and manpower than all of the countries allied with the South. Luckily, their air force and navy are not up to par. That's why they want nukes, to even the score.

There is a dangerous act called auto-erotica (nothing to do with cars). Some believe if they have an orgasm at the point of unconsciousness (from suffocation) it will be very intense. However, if you become unconscious, you will hang yourself. I can't say that is the case here yet. But, I have investigated similar cases which were later ruled accidents. "he may have died from masturbation" - if that's the case, we're all in danger.

So, 8 years ago she made a comment, and now she's suddenly struck by feelings of guilt? I'd have more respect for her if she just told them "So what, it was eight years ago. Can't we all just move along?"

bamboohat and hachikoreloaded: I agree 100%. Case closed, suspended sentence is warranted in this case (not like in those BS "good old boy cases we keep hearing about).

“the Iranians are interested in possible cooperation on Afghanistan to better confront the problems posed by opium production there". Read between the lines...they want a bigger piece of the opium market for themselves.

The real threat is not from this one particular missile. The bigger threat is from NK's development of long-range missile technology which they could then sell to countries like Iran, who are developing nukes. Do you want a country, who's sworn religious duty is to wipe the U.S. off the map, to be able to drop a nuke in your backyard?

I am just curious how he "proved" he was there. Did they just take his word for it? After all, it was over 60 years ago, and he's just now been "certified".
