Am I the only one hoping North Korea will try to launch a Nuclear missile towards America only to have it fizzle out and crash land halfway to the cost of L.A. (Not that a direct hit would be all that much of a loss). I imagine the resulting firework display from our response would be quite pretty.
The US doesn't have to worry about spreading it's forces too thin in responding to North Korea because it would most likely be all air strikes and if troops on the ground are required it is my understanding we may have a few guys sitting around just south of the border knocking up Asian chicks.
As far as if any kind of military action is required, that's really going to be up to North Korea. The Koreans aren't going to fight like the Muslims, Kim Jong Ill isn't going to hide a nuclear bomb on a subway car he is going to do something flashy that will prove to the world once and for all that he doesn't have a 2 inch dick. If he keeps his dick in his pants, nothing is going to happen, if not, boom.
Also 1/4 of a year, or three months as we call it out West, is not a very big difference. Now if you had a difference like 13 and 17 that might be enough to raise a couple of eyebrows.
I've never been to either place but just off the top of my head could it be that Michigan has more rural areas and farm land than someplace like maybe New Jersey?
Just a thought.

Here's your God damn fuel economy.
The reduction in fuel prices doesn't really seem to be affecting the shift towards alternative energy sources. Ethanol and biodiesel are widely available, most of GM's lineup is compatible with higher concentrations of ethanol and the Japanese are starting to take a look at ethanol as well as continuing to market their hybrids. There was also just a big to do from Ford about their breakthroughs in hydrogen.
In theory your position makes sense but in reality you just kind of sound like a rambling retard.
Also anything over $2.00 a gallon is still too damn high.
Um, did anybody else notice it wasn't even on the screen as long as Janet Jackson's titty was?
Yep they are trying to trick people with less than a second of an image that contradicts what they are talking about. Maybe it's for the people who don't read the website.
Those are pretty big letters stating Foley was a member of the GOP.
Or perhaps it was to get the people who missed Bill's talking points for the evening, Hard Times for the Republican Party.
My good golly gosh, it's a conspiracy. I mean despite all of the headlines and talk about Foley and his republicanness we all know that 1 second of video is going to convince the ignorant American people that Foley was really a Dem.
So, anyone wanna pull their head out of their ass?

Uh huh...
In 1987, two men assaulted Eric Butler, a 56-year-old British Petroleum executive, in a London subway car, trying to strangle him and smashing his head against the door. No one came to his aid. He later testified, ''My air supply was being cut off, my eyes became blurred, and I feared for my life.'' In desperation he unsheathed an ornamental sword blade in his walking stick and slashed at one of his attackers, stabbing the man in the stomach. The assailants were charged with wounding. Butler was tried and convicted of carrying an offensive weapon.
In August 1999, Tony Martin, a 55-year-old Norfolk farmer living alone in a shabby farmhouse, awakened to the sound of breaking glass as two professional burglars burst into his home. He had been robbed six times before but, like 70 percent of rural English villages, his had no police presence. He sneaked downstairs with a shotgun and shot at the intruders. Martin received life in prison for killing one burglar, 10 years for wounding the second, and 12 months for having an illegal shotgun.
In 1994, an English homeowner, armed with a toy gun, managed to detain two burglars who had broken into his house, while he called the police. When the officers arrived they arrested the homeowner for using an imitation gun to put someone in fear. Parliament is now considering making imitation guns illegal.
How about we just enforce the laws we have on the books.

That's a graph for violent crime, not gun crime. The two are completely different.
compare the two nations gun death and the graph will look very different.
Perhaps the violent crime rate is so high because the criminals don't fear the people they are being violent to.

I'm just saying how long is the masses going let this happen, even though it doesn't directly effect them, before its too late and it does.
Why don't you explain to me exactly what will go so terribly wrong if the government doesn't have to seek additional warrants everytime a suspect tries to evade them? What is your vision of the future if we stay on this grusome track? What other liberties do you forsee on the chopping block?
Btw, way to miss the point.
Is this another one of those ladder things?

I'm pretty sure they could do that before, lots of innocent people get arrested and detained don't you ever watch CSI?
Your phones can be tapped, your bank details and your mail examined, without your permission. And this is legal
Once again this isn't a big dramatic change, in fact the only difference is they don't need a court order to do it in extreme cases. Perhaps you should actually research these laws you are so dead set against.
You can be deported to a foreign country, where you have no protection under the human rights act, and you can be tortured.
Sleep depervation is torture by God. It is my understanding that this doesn't apply to citizens.
How's that for loss of freedom?
There's no loss, they are just doing the same shit they've always been able to do.

Oh and by the way, Shut the fuck up! You'll feel better, I know I will.
How has the patriot act affected you personally? Do you think the government watches you when you shower or something?
The 4th Amendment, as stated is this: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Yes indeed when someone may be plotting to kill thousands of people in the next few hours I want talking to a judge to be the first thing on everybody's mind. If the government oversteps their bounds the accused can always fight it in court, then fight the ruling for that court then fight the ruling from the next court if need be. God damn this lack of freedoms.
What this basically mean, and I'll keep it short because I might sound like I'm whining to you or overload your brain, I'll choose the ladder.
Ladder, what ladder are you a roofer?
Anyway, it means that Police and FBI when going into homes, tapping phones, looking through e-mails, looking through bank accounts, etc. Have to go before a judge and give a probable cause as to why they think they should get a warrent. Then with this warrent they have all rights to do what they want.
What if the person they are observing has multiple phones or changes email addresses and bank accounts a lot, should they have to go throught the whole talking to a judge process each and every time?
With the Patriot Act it now foregoes that whole process and they can now:
-Search records, tap phones, and look at bank accounts without a warrent.
-There is also a gag order on it so they cannot tell you that your bank account has been looked at.
So they can't bring it up in court?
Yes, this shouldn't be a concern at all because it only affects the terrorist. Yes, that's all it does. I'm a baby and you are the smartest man alive.
I wouldn't say the smartest man alive just much smarter than you?
All I am saying in my original post is that this leads down a path that is extreamly dangerous and at war time we've been known to give up civil liberties then its been balanced. When will we get a balance of power back? Who knows.
When the war is over, just as you said in your original post.
Oh I was talking about protest, not revolution.
So your solution to the problem is to whine some more?
Moron.
MorMon, honestly your spelling is simply atrocious.

WAAAAH! WAAAAAAH! Those big meanies are taking my liberties WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Some vague comment made by some obscure guy on a cable news show is certainly worth throwing a temper tantrum about.
Can anyone tell me what specific liberties I have lost in the last few years? Let's see, I have to wait a little longer in line at the airport and pretty soon I won't be able to go to Canada without a passport.
Holy shit! I say the time for rebellion is nigh, grab your guns my brothers for today we take back what is ours...
Oh yeah that's right, you hippies took my guns away, well so much for protecting myself from the government. I guess I'll just have to go get a job, a house a family and a gas guzzling car and enjoy a higher standard of living and more personal freedoms than 98% of the rest of the world.
Oh and by the way, Shut the fuck up! You'll feel better, I know I will.
Meh, gotta beat someone, and those child welfare people have been watching me like a hawk.

There are no deserts where you come from? Obviously I'm not talking about driving up a mountain.
In fact I believe setting speed limits too low on roads like this actually increases the potential for danger because undoubtedly someone driving the speed limit will irk someone who doesn't want to drive the speed limit and speedy will do dangerous stupid things to get by.Eh-- Darwin's law...
Comes out in either two possible situations:
1.) Car crash = death
2.) Kills somebody else... gets incarcerated... becomes a Bubba's Bitch... commit suicide. The End...
I would rather not be the person who gets killed leading up to that incarceration.

That doesn't make much sense on rural roads where one could easily drive 20-30 miles over the speed limit without endangering anyone.

Why do you even care?
Is it because your country's constitution consists of the words "ditto minus guns" written in pencil on the back of an American $1 bill?*
*The writer of this post may not know the nature of the Canadian constitution due to the fact that his country's constitution is so significant it is studied in other countries while the constitutions of other countries don't occupy the the thoughts of any of his countrymen.

You know of something worse than the systematic murder of 12 million civilians? Sure Stalin killed more people and there have been many cases of pilliages and rapings but I don't any of those things really touch the holocaust in the fact that it was a slow methodical process. It's one thing when people are rounded up and shot or bombed or forced to starve but the Nazis created a God damn bueracracy dedicated to killing. It doesn't get much more fucked up than that.

We buy lots of groceries, more groceries than I can even believe but for some reason I'm not allowed to eat any of it.
Go anywhere where Mexicans buy their food... you can buy pounds of dried Great Northern beans (or Pintos, or whatever...)
Wal-Mart
Economical... nutritious... healthy... full of protein...
All you basically need to do is add water and salt and cook for several hours . A pot will serve (and last) for a week.
Fli can you explain to me why Mexicans find it neccesary to only go grocery shopping once a month. In my home town waiting in line at Wal-Mart is always a 23 minute ordeal because undoubtedly there will be at least 4 Mexican families in line ahead of you with shopping carts full of $500 worth of groceries. Now I understand they have big families and it seems like a lot but there were seven people in my family and we didn't shop like that. Why can't they just go shopping again a few days later like everyone else?!

"Fuck wedding cake... we're gonna have pie when I get married." I even wrote that in my journal entry... so weird.
But after serving wedding cake and tasting some... I'm sorta of an expert. And what do I conclude? Wedding cake looks delicious and pretty... but it's terrible to the pallete. The frosting is basically Cristco shortening, wax, and sugar... There was one cake that was good, and it was this rather homely looking cake that the bride's father personally baked.
I found out first hand that when wedding cake isn't very good the first time around, putting it in the freezer for a year doesn't help it. Who the hell comes up with these dumbass traditions anyways?

No they don't.
I don't know why minimum wage is even an issue when McDonalds and Wal-Mart both start at least a dollar above the federal minimum wage level. Obviously supply and demand comes into play a little teeny tiny bit when it comes to wages.
Conservatives are dicks and liberals are pussies and the pussies don't like the dicks because dicks fuck pussies but sometimes, dicks fuck assholes. Assholes of course being Ralph Nader and Ross Perot.
I hope this clears things up.
