    Like the rest of the world doesn't have that attitude. Oh! They do, they just do not have the resources to pull it off.

    And the UN is a joke, their idea of Freedom of Speach does not include the right to critize THE UN.

    Article 29, Section 3 UN UNDoHR says: "(3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."

    If I may say this, you are an idiot.

    The senate has to agree to treaties and the house and the senate have to pass the enabling laws. Blaming this on clinton alone is stupid and wrong.

    Too many people is this country don't think before they vote and you are an example.

    10^120 is the number of possible chess moves. From a google link.

    " If you were to fully develop the entire tree for all possible chess moves, the total number of board positions is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
    000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,
    000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,00 0,000,
    000,000,000,000, or 10120, give or take a few. That's a very big number. For example, there have only been 1026 nanoseconds since the Big Bang. There are thought to be only 1075 atoms in the entire universe. When you consider that the Milky Way galaxy contains billions of suns, and there are billions of galaxies, you can see that that's a whole lot of atoms. That number is dwarfed by the number of possible chess moves. Chess is a pretty intricate game!"

    It's not a new thing the teenagers have sex. It has been going on for quite a long time and their is a lot more sex on TV than just this breast flash. This is like getting pissed at a broken windows on your car while you house burns to the ground.

    How did you come to that conclusion? Are you using the total number of cases overturned or are you using the % of cases overturned?
