@whiskeysour

Thank you for that visual. You're the first poster on here ever, to almost make me consider to never eat ramen, and steak again. LOL

I really don't see how they could've awarded the contract to anyone other than Boeing. They would've taken a big hit politically.

@shogun36 & Stranger in a Strange Land

Thank you both for the correction. Her family name looked, and sounded Chinese to me, so it threw me off. :-)

I believe Michelle Wie is of Chinese ethnicity. Why is the Hanbok called a costume here, but the kimono isn't?

"Health Ministry official Kazuhiko Kawauchi said the excavation is aimed at finding out if anything is buried in the plot.

“We are not certain if the survey will find anything,” Kawauchi said. “If anything is dug up, it may not be related to Unit 731.”"

There you go Kawauchi, get in front of it and start playing the denial game early!! May you rot in hell with the rest of the scum that had anything to do with this!!

@ReformedBasher

You're correct. But I really don't think the U.S. military is sitting around, underestimating the Chinese military threat. I'm quite sure that everything is taken into consideration, and defenses are already either in development, or currently being deployed for their offensive capabilities.

Raymasaki, you ask for too much. That would force some people to take the time to educate themselves, and they would rather go through like blind. Some people do have a point to a certain extent, when it comes to freedom of speech in the U.S. You have freedom of speech here, for the most part, as long as you are not a whistle blower against your employer, U.S. government included. then you can bet that your free speech rights will be trampled on. But there is no government approved sanction to trample on free speech ie; protests are allowed, even against the government, as long as it doesn't turn violent.

I'm quite sure the U.S. has something to counter any Chinese military threat.

Actually, Maeharasan looks like he's trying to fight back tears, and the other one looks like he's trying to keep from laughing in Maeharasan's face. LOL

You mean like the modern international discource the USA engaged in prior to invading Iraq and Afghanistan!?"

No, I don't think that's what they meant. Nice try though.

It looks like it's time for the Navy Seals to get in some more target practice. The less piracy we have, the better off the world will be.

I agree with you, but after having flown ANA recently, JAL may have a lot of work to do. I have to say that ANA is the best airline I've ever flown.

It might be better to go to a search engine for cheap tickets. I flew round trip from Chicago to Narita on ANA end of December 2010 - middle of January 2011 for a little over $1300.

It's funny how they (NK) always talk about how the U.S. and South Korea are training for a war against them, like with the Carl Vinson making a port call to South Korea, and yet no North Koren civilians, or military personel get harmed in any way. How many South Koreans has the North harmed lately?
