I get chills when I see the showy display and lack of emotion the North Korean army and Kim Jong Il has. What are your thoughts?

In reading about the M.Foley page scandal, I keep hearing that the pages are teenagers. Are they high school students? College kids? Are they under 18? Am just wondering because I can't imagine putting my own children into this very vulnerable situation.

Okay...i am all for females gettin their rights

yay feminism

but lately, they have been asking for too much...

firstly, u are asking for equality, right?
Sure, fine, take it... but....

if you guys are equal to males, then we can punch you without having excess punishment..

if a girl punches a guy, apparently, its self defense
if a guy punches a girl, then its rape?!!?!?

WHATS UP WITH THAT?!?!

And also, for example, in fitness testing in the high schools...
why is it for GIRLS, they have to run it in 9 minutes, where the BOYS have to run it in 7:30???????

Does that really make sense... i mean, if u girls wanna be equal, then u should have to run the mile in 7:30, just like every other guy on the planet, and shouldn't have "equal rights with privileges", cause we are people all the same


comments and arguements are welcome, the best evidence or arguement will get the 10 points

This guy's unbelievable. If he didn't murder Jon Benet Ramsey, then how do you explain the ramson note signed,"S.B.T.C." and the way HE signed a fellow classmates yearbook "Shall Be The Conquerer"???
Pretty coincidental!!

even if where the building were hit by the planes the fires were hot enough to melt and change the integrity of the buildings what about all those levels below how did the core of the building all that metal structure just crumble did you see how fat those columns were and there were jost over 40 of them all connected in the structure how does that crumble down plumb in 10 seconds when it wasnt attacked by any heat even the weight of it couldnt do that ,i would of thought it was more likely the building would keel over have more resistence seriously who ever did it terrorists or what ever,it makes alot more sence there was exsposives in that building really does not add up for me,im not really into conspiracy theorys myself just looking at the video footage gives me alot of doubts.what ever your thoughts on who you think did it im not worryed at the minute im more worryed about what i see with my own two eyes any thougts people.

North Korea announced that the recently imposed sanctions against them are a declaration of war. They also said they would it would "deliver merciless blows" to anyone that breached their right to survive under the excuse of carrying out United Nations resoluitons.

They are thought to be in the process of testing a second bomb. Is it time to start worrying?
