Don't forget Kinder eggs. Maybe we can get Colorado and Washington to legalize these too.

They pre-fab even the foundation. Seriously. You can see it in this video this video of them (BSB) erecting a 30-story hotel in 15 days.

To prove grandparents wrong the finer point is this one article seems a direct conflict with another mass media article, specifically http://www.cnngo.com/explorations/life/united-nations-announces-world%E2%80%99s-happiest-country-247768 [cnngo.com]. So according to CNN America is the fourth happiest country, this survey kind of stunk after seeing the way politics is going in the country, just didn't ring true at all.

"The Happiest Country" is like "the Wettest Desert." Have you considered the depressing possibility that even though Americans might not trust their institutions, most other places actually suck more?

Unless Americans really enjoy living in a country where they can't trust anything, not the government, not the banks, not corporations and especially not mass media.

When you go to http://hdr.undp.org/en/data/build/ and add in inequality you get a more accurate picture. Yeah, some are doing well in the US, it seems they are just climbing over the bodies of those who are failing and are happy to do so.

Funny, I remember this around the time,

Gene's son was doing some comic, and ripped images that were almost identical to Bleach and a few other manga's ( http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo/none/manga-gene-simmons-son-accused-bleach-plagiarism-750585 and http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-02-25/nick-simmons-incarnate-halted-over-alleged-bleach-plagiarism ) . Then his dad comes out that all these kids that steal should be sued, face prision, hang on I think there was an quote saying he hoped they get @ss rapped in prison: yep found it http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/gene_simmons_fires_back_at_hackers.html and another http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/10/gene-simmons-vs-anonymous-whos-the-bigger-asshole.ars . By his own mouth, his son should be in prison being @ss raped.

Personally it is the double standards everyone has that annoys me

Bit like all the hacking stuff lately, Companies are allowed to sell programs to hijack Itunes, install keyloggers, do what they like and sell it to governments, but the day a normal person does it, 10 years in prison. Hacking a website is like tagging someones building/home, if it is that much of a problem get better protection. 10 years for defacing a website? You can kill someone for less time. You think if you killed gene that the charge of website defacing would still be present? might be a nice option out that has only good points

Bored now, MERRY XMAS ALL

Meanwhile, starting next week workers at Fukushima Daiichi will stop the use of face masks except in the work areas around the crippled units:
Change to the Rules of Wearing Full Face Masks at the Site of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
Still it didn't stop people to post stupid things in this CNNgo article: Journeys to the edge: Tourism in Fukushima makes more sense now
Being worried about radioactive iodine from Fukushima Daiichi makes the same sense of being worried about wild siberian tigers in New York City.

If there is any truth to this story then they are headed down the same hill as the US, just a few years behind.
