scuds now! Quote: SEOUL, July 4 (Yonhap) -- North Korea test-launched two short-range missiles off its eastern coast Saturday after firing four similar missiles earlier this week, according to a South Korean government official. "North Korea fired two missiles, which appeared to be a Scud type, toward the East Sea from a base near Wonsan, Gangwon Province, at around 8 a.m. today," the official said, requesting anonymity....

Published (2009-07-06 04:35:28)
If Palin has resigned due to an ambition to become the Republican nominee in 2012, then I think that's sad. She's a creationist, she knows nothing about the environment, and she's a social conservative. I'm not a fan of Mr Obama and never have been. But he's tolerable. If, in 2012, we have merely tolerable v Sarah Palin, then I think that's sad. It's sad for Republicanism. It's sad if the GOP becomes the...

The people are racist, homophobic religious fanatics, die-hard Republican nutcases, and mega-flag-waving ultra-patriotic dingbats who look at vegetables with favor only if deep fat fried (actually, I think deep fat fried anything is standard Okie cuisine), but at the same time, in a...

Quote: Originally Posted by Woland Actually, the real idiocy here is the belief that a single test should be used to decide the promotions. Think about it.

To what extent do we know that the test construct was validated. The N in this case seems suspiciously...

So the guy who studied his ass off for the highest grade and led the lawsuit owes his promotion to luck because he just happens to be the type of person to do those kinds of things? I'm not really feeling it.

It really does take a certain class of person to want to have a pet snake. The kind of person who can't be content with a cat or dog, like normal people. The kind of person who will inevitably be negligent in his treatment of the animal - because he's real fuckin' thtoopid - giving rise to tragedy. The kind of person who will totally ignore the obvious fact that keeping pets such as snakes and ...

Yes, it's that time again... Time to try and present another viewpoint for those 'out there' in the 'real' world in order to try and shake the foundations of complacency...It seems like every day more and more people join the ranks of either the "I don't care, I'm all right, Jack..." brigade, or the brainwashed consumerist 'don't rock the boat' crowd...! I can't say everyone will experience...
