Many of the kids have parents who are Doctors. Obviously smart people breed smart children. And children's mental development is heavily influenced by their parents.
How you can make an association to divorce is incredibly way off base! Perhaps, according to your theory, you are a child of a divorcee?
Just a couple of weeks ago, I crossed into the US, and got "randomly selected" for a car search. In the holding area, all I see are other "randomly selected" people, all of whom were of visible minority (or majority depending on where you're from). That had me thinking that it wasn't so random as it appeared, until the guy that pulled out of the garage space I was assigned to. He was a single white male in his 50s or 60s. Sort of blows my theory away that day. At least the custom agents made it as quick as possible.
Coming back to Canada, the custom agent looked at me and my passenger and waved us through without checking our passports.
Two extremes, we need to meet in the middle ground somewhere.
Who cares if he misses the proper sentence structure? Hell, ever read a medical journal? It's not a literary masterpiece I tell you. All scientists/engineers write in point form notes as they are doing work. At the end, they add extra words to those point form notes to construct a decent sentence, so occasionally they miss a couple. Big deal! Look at the big picture!
If all you got to pick on is his grammar structure, you've obviously missed out.
Sorry, I should have said the "Second Sino-Japanese War". In any case, at the beginning of that war, the US was generally in favour of the Japanese. It wasn't until the Japanese army made attacks on the US assets that Americans were swayed to the Chinese and it was only solidified AFTER Pearl Harbour.
So really, the Americans were rooting for the Japanese at first, and made amends afterwards.
The US, along with many other nations were busy carving up China amongst themselves at the expense of the Chinese. You might want to look up "The Boxer Rebellion" to learn more.
I remember an old Japanese game show where they gave contestants a couple of pints of beer, and the last person to take a piss was the winner. Of course it was only a couple of beers, and they were sitting in a shallow pool of ice which made the urge to pee even greater. I don't think it was dangerous, but it was sure funny to watch they try to hold their pee.
You can't use that arguement "Because in the wrong hands...", only because it could apply to just about everything! In the wrong hands, a kitchen knife... In the wrong hands, a baseball bat... The list goes on...
Look, take the grenade for instance. It's invented, it's out there, and yet, we have no grenade crimes. If they can control the distribution of grenades, they can do the same for this body armour.
Kind of off topic, but what's the reasoning behind leaving the HUMVEE Turret all open like that? Could they just install a covered turret with the material they use for the Pope mobile? Some protection is better than nothing.
Then perhaps you should read this link in the Toronto Star (time limited) and see that the iPhone is nothing really innovative and is in fact still behind the offerings in Asia. Also, it states that the iPhone is only able to utilize the 2G network, rather unimpressive when you realize that Telus in Canada has 3G available. Lastly, with that price tag, only fools with too much money will buy it.

Japan far ahead of iPhone
Cellphones there used for everything from buying milk to booking a train January 12, 2007 Bruce Wallace SPECIAL TO THE STAR
TOKYO-Tomoaki Kurita presides over racks of cellphones lined up outside his shop on a busy sidewalk in Harajuku, Tokyo's catwalk of youth street culture where people attracted by the riot of phone options can stop to flip open and fondle the latest models of what the Japanese call a "keitai."
From behind his busy counter, Kurita giggles when asked about the excitement in the United States over the arrival of Apple's iPhone cellphone that also could be used to download music and surf the Internet.
"Sounds like business as usual," he says.
As stock markets swooned and techies buzzed over Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs' long-awaited entry into the cellphone market, Japanese consumers could be excused for wondering: Why the fuss?
Many Japanese had a hard time buying Jobs' hype about "reinventing" the phone. The revolution is well underway in Japan, where cellphones are used for everything from navigating your way home by GPS to buying movie tickets and updating your blog from wherever you are.
Oh yeah. Japanese cellphones also download music, surf the Net and make phone calls.
They've been a natural extension of daily life the past few years, spurred by the Japanese decision to be the first country to upgrade to third-generation cellphone networks, or 3G, which increased broadband capabilities and allowed for greater, faster transmission of voice and data. Apple's iPhone, by comparison, will operate on a 2G network.
It was 3G that sparked the boom in music downloads that makes it common for phones to be used as portable digital music players here.
And it is 3G that has led the Japanese into a world where they can watch live TV on their phones, use the phone as a charge card to ride trains or buy milk at the corner store or take a taxi, and conduct conference calls between as many as five people. Ticket Pia, Japan's major entertainment ticketing agency, has been selling email tickets to cellphones since 2003.
Most observers contend the U.S. has begun to close the gap on cellphone use in Japan, South Korea and Europe. Music downloads by cellphone are rising in the U.S. - and the long-term threat to iPod's lead in downloads was a major force behind Apple's entry into cellphones. Other functions are following.
"We plan to introduce one-way video conferencing in the U.S. this year," says Melissa Elkins of LG Electronics MobileCOMM, referring to a function that would allow one person to be visible to the other during a phone call. Two-way telephony has been available in South Korea for about 18 months, Elkins says.
But the biggest difference between the U.S. and countries like Japan is the culture the keitai has created. To wait for a light on a Tokyo street corner or ride a train these days is to see crowds of people with their heads down, thumbs pumping as they send photos, text message or play online games on their phone. Increasingly, they are reading books and manga comics on their phones, too.
The keitai has become an extension of personality.
There is software to create a personalized home page on the cellphone. Young men and women customize their phones, hang posses of tiny dolls off them, cover them with stickers and paints.
"I like it because it's cute," says Mami Nawa, 23, as she shows off the dial pad she has painted in purple and pink to
So basically, you're advocating form over function? Granted, it is a slick design, but if it doesn't work the way you want it to work, why bother, it'll only be eye candy anyway.

That's SO SIMPLE! Obviously it was an undercover operative posing as a Tim Horton's employee. The contractor bought a medium double-double and a apple fritter, and got the bugged coin as change.
The coin is to track the coffee and donut chain's competitor's in the US, such as Dunkin Donuts or whatever.
You're going to patent platforms? Well, I'm going to patent the heel cushion for shoes. It's going to be something like this.
The heel portion of a shoe is to be made of a material dissimilar to the material used throughout the rest of the sole. The heel area is meant to cushion the impact of a shoe through innovative use of flexible material and/or use of void space. The cushion is meant to absorb impact through compression of the material and/or flexing into the void space. The cushion material will then rebound to its former shape to return compression energy to the user of the shoe.
I think that patent ought to cover just about every shoe company for my giant patent infringement lawsuit.

You can test this fact sitting right where you are. Just relax... and let it go... that's it. See! Warm, isn't it?
