GOOD! Finally, Japan agrees to talk BI-LATERALLY on a bi-lateral issue. I just hope the J-government shuts up about the issue during the 6-nation denuclearization talks; it's not at all relevant, and only damaging to Japan as a nation, and the talks in general.

I only hope some progress can…

I absolutely loathe Paris Hilton, and thing she's very UNattractive. What's more, the whole, 'She's a lot smarter than she's made out to be' comments are a joke and a half. She's about as smart as peeing against the wind is.

Still, the add shows that she can at least…

Whitehawk: "Answer: Because there is nothing positive of substance to say about Obama."

A stupid answer to a very honest and important question. Let's say then, even in your mind, if there WERE good things about Obama to say, you're ultimately stating that McCain would not be negative, but would…

Geez... just a 'possibility' of misjudgement, eh?

Well, they only have to wait until this evenings news to hear of more equally pointless and preventable deaths, no doubt, as many areas in Kansai were completely flooded this afternoon after a 'light rain' forecast became a MASSIVE thunderstorm that had me…

"More than 20,000 ethnic Koreans who lived in Hiroshima as soldiers, civilian employees of the army, mobilized students and ordinary citizens amid Japan’s colonization of the Korean Peninsula are said to have fallen victim to the U.S. atom bombing of the city during the war."

Well, good on them for…

Oh...b-b-b-b-b-but it has NOTHING to do with environmental changes due to global warming (as some on here desperately wish were the case).

SOn of a B`*+'! I think that's cheaper than my current rate with a NORMAL phone. If I wouldn't have to pay the absurd amount on my two year contract remaining, I'd pick up an iPhone today.

undecided: "550 tons of yellowcake uranium shipped out of Iraq under US supervision just last month. All the WMD proof anyone could ask for."

Under US supervision, huh? So the US is shipping WMDs themselves under a country that never had them previous to the illegal invasion. Wicked argument, my…
