Depends on what you call "clean." If a bottle of wine breaks on the floor, the floor will not be clean until all the major and visible pieces of glass have been picked up and the wine has been cleaned in order to avoid slipping. All the U.S. has done in that analogy is pick up a few pieces of glass and toss a napkin on the spill.

Ah yes the wall of "freedom, security and independence" as Bush calls it. He also forgot to mention the wall of alienation, isolation and distrust.
Am I a bad person?

Ok ok fine, sheesh! Your thread is differnt in the sense that:
A. It doesn't deal with going into a possible war with N. Korea as the others do
B. It doesn't talk about international cooperation as the others do
C. It doesn't talk about the N. Korea military leader as the others do
Oh wait... it does... n/m!
In fact, the only thing your thread talks about that the others do not talk about is... yes you guessed it FOOR SUPPLY! So please go ahead and talk about supplying the N. Koreans with foor all you wish.
There was never any reason to need to go to war. We were not supposed to go but we did and now things are arguably worse than they were. We can't afford to leave now because it would be retarded to go in, mess things up and leave the place in shambles without any real system of government. The U.S. is planning on gradually pulling troops out by 2008 after dividing power between the three warring factions. It beats staying and it beats suddenly leaving :\

Those threads are about issues (notice the "s" at the end of issues because there are more than one) with N. Korea and what actions can be taken to correct the problem and avoid any confrontation. In those topics, I believe in the original, we were also talking about a possible draft because U.S. troops are spread thin in the middle-east. At least skim the thread before saying something which has already been said three times over.

Only in America baby yeeah! Only a country as stuck-up, un-humble and self-richeous as this one :(
But then again we didn't celebrate so... :D maybe we're not so bad after all. Or maybe no one cares because they're too preocuppied with their lives. They'll celebrate on the weekend over some hard liquor and dancing.
Air samples carried from Korea were taken by U.S. scientists. The test was confirmed in slight traces of radioactive particles. Although the radioactivity was not very strong which also confirms the test might not have gone as planned.

U.S. Population hits 300 Million Mark
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press Writer
Tue Oct 17, 8:07 AM ET
WASHINGTON - The nation's population officially hit 300 million at 7:46 a.m. EDT Tuesday, when the Census Bureau's population clock rolled over to the big number.
But there weren't any wild celebrations, fireworks or any other government-sponsored hoopla to mark the milestone. Why bother? Many experts think the population actually hit 300 million months ago.
"I don't think anybody believes it will be the precise moment when the population hits 300 million," Howard Hogan, the Census Bureau's associate director for demographic programs, said in an interview before the milestone was reached. But, he added, "We're confident that we're somewhat close."
It's not easy estimating the exact number of people in a country the size of the United States. It gets even more complicated when you take into account illegal immigration, another reason for the federal government to let the milestone pass quietly.
When the U.S. population officially hit 200 million in 1967, President Johnson held a news conference at the Commerce Department to hail America's past and to talk about the challenges ahead. Life magazine dispatched a cadre of photographers to find a baby born at the exact moment, anointing a boy born in Atlanta as the 200 millionth American.
This year, there's a good chance the 300 millionth American has already walked across the border from Mexico.
"It's a couple of weeks before an election when illegal immigration is a high-profile issue and they don't want to make a big deal out of it," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said the Bush administration isn't playing down the milestone, though he said he had no plans for Tuesday. Census Bureau employees planned to mark the moment Tuesday afternoon with cake and punch.
"I would hate to think that we are going to be low key about this," said Gutierrez, whose department oversees the Census Bureau. "I would hope that we make a big deal about it."
Gutierrez said America's growing population is good for the economy. He noted that Japan and some European countries expect to lose population in the next few decades, raising concerns that there won't be enough young people entering the work force to support aging populations.
"This is one more area where we seem to have an advantage," Gutierrez said. "We should all feel good about reaching this milestone."
The U.S. adds about 2.8 million people a year, for a growth rate of less than 1 percent. About 40 percent of the growth comes from immigration. The rest comes from births outnumbering deaths.
The Census Bureau counts the population every 10 years. In between, it uses administrative records and surveys to estimate monthly averages for births, deaths and net immigration. The bureau has a "population clock" that estimates a birth every seven seconds, a death every 13 seconds and a new immigrant every 31 seconds. Add it together and you get one new American every 11 seconds.
The 300 millionth American — born months ago or on Tuesday — is probably Hispanic because they are the fastest growing demographic group in the U.S., Frey said.
Jeffrey Passel, a senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center, said the Census Bureau has improved its population estimates in the past few years, but it still undercounts illegal immigrants.
There are an estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. Experts differ on the specifics, but many estimate that more than 1 million of them don't show up in census figures.
"The census clearly misses people," said Passel, a former Census Bureau employee who used to help estimate the undercount. "Having said that, when they crossed 200 million, they were missing about 5 million people. We think the 2000 census missed a lot less than 5 million people."
-END-
So... what do you think? Is an increase in population a good thing or a bad thing? Is this contry over-populated? What of the countries in the world such as France and Italy who are experiencing declining populations? What of the overcrowded countries such as El Salvador, China and India?
Please feel free to share facts and your opinions on the article and world population. :)
Aren't there already like... 2 N.Korean threads floating around somewhere?

One concern I have is... if the lasers are to create a condition similar to that in a black hole... wouldn't that essentially tear apart the whole office building?
Also, if it is indeed possible to send messages to the past from the future once the machine is turned on then... if in the following hundreds of years people are sending back messages to the past, wouldn't the machine just about explode with information and matter as soon as it would be turned on?

The bible also says you shouldn't curse and plainly you said "dicks" so what's your point? You don't come into the argument with clean hands so it hurts your credibility :/

THe movie talks about interferences in the past stopping something from happening so it occurs after all. It also goes into parallel dimensions, but that's the bit where I was like "wha?" so um... feel free to rewind that part a couple hundred times.
For all the same reasons as the regular ban on gambling elsewhere. Nowere near as ridiculous as the ban on guitar tabulature though :P
His point is religion is siller than science because it proves nothing. At least science has something to show for it, that's his point.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, religion has its important aspects and lessons and if anything it promotes science. At least it promotes present science I don't know about future theories or laws.
Btw, watch the video before you post because the video answers a lot of the questions I see people posting, hence why he linked it.
I find it hard to accept the principle that light moves at the same speed no matter how fast you are moving. I agree it would be difficult to tell the difference between 680 million mph and 340 million mph because it's still faster than anything, however, if we are able to leave sound behind, then shouldn't we also be able to leave light behind if you're moving faster than the speed of light? The example they gave with einstein and bertran in the spaceships was flawed in that sense because they didn't discuss what would happen if bertran were doing faster than the speed of light.
In order for us to know, it's difficult because we'd have to break the light barrier. I can see how jumping to the future would be possible in theory but to the past?
To avoid a time paradox sounds pretty foolish if we can interact with time, so the only way I can imagine someone travelling to the past is if they do it on a non-interactive dimension a la Ghost of Christmas Past. Afteer watching the video, this was confirmed because one would only be able to go as far back as the time machine was operational, not before then. The first 20 minutes or so of the video made absolute sense, but the last 15 were a bit dodgy... good thinking though :)

Yes or like the link I sent you of Dragon Rouge, jwelch. I mean seriously what evidence do they (dragon rouge) have for their argument? Probably about as much as you have for yours.

No. He out-argued you because his arguments were better-constructed than yours. He could have out-argued you in a single post if he'd replied to everything you said all at once. So I just disproved your argument that more posts = more pwnage.
and age does matter he can't even go out and get a job or drive, there for most information comes from his parents who i guess watch Fox News
What does working or driving have to do with it? Once again you present a flawed argument. Go take a critical thinking class or something, seriously. I suppose by the same token you would say the elderly or crippled can't present a good argument because they don't work or drive? Imbecile.
Stop being a troll and listen: As long as you can communicate you can argue, some just do it better than others.
I swear... damned 17-year-olds... lol :P
Cereal you're not allowed to post pictures of people without their permission, you are aware of that correct?

Eeh...heheheheh! Oh man I'm in the school library right now and I'm trying not to laugh but tears are welling up in my eyes from holding it in. Wow, talk about walking right into a bear-trap. *Wipes eye* ah that was classic.
A better thing for the student to say would have been "My group speaks Urdu and I can't communicate well with them because of that. Is there something we can do about this, could you perhaps put me with another group?"
But anyway, the teacher's reaction was way over-the-line. She should be temporarily suspended from teaching or at least reprimanded in some way for such an unprofessional outburst.
