  1. Re:Iraq on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: 1

    How has McCain changed his stance on the war? I believe Senator Obama has been trying to end the war with different conditions and means for along time now. When he was running against Senator Clinton he even gave a time table for withdrawal after he would be elected, now he says that we will withdraw in a responsible manner. Don't get me wrong I definitely agree with Obama's Iraq strategy now, but to say he is the only candidate to have a consistent stance on the issue is just wrong.

  2. Re:These aren't the big issues at all on Is Ubuntu a Serious Desktop Contender? · · Score: 1

    and ubuntu and on any other distro you MUST download all the "restricted", "no open source" "devil" "god forbid them" whatever codecs).

    Umm, ubuntu maybe, but in Gentoo you just add wincodecs flag to your USE flags in make.conf, emerge mplayer and it will play anything I have ever tried to watch.... not that complicated...

  3. Re:If this is true on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 1

    Won't work. Why? Because us Japanese don't want the U.S. to bring nukes into the country. There are a very few vocal people that have said otherwise, but the silent masses (and the not so silent government) has repeatedly demanded that the U.S. do not bring any ships carrying nuclear weapons into the country.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but if N.Korea nuked Japan, why would our nukes need to be in Japan, on a boat near Japan, or otherwise... We would probably use an Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) from like Arizona... Like I said I could be wrong about that but that would make sense to me.

    What we want the U.S. to do is stop playing "I pretend to care (but really could care less since there's no oil involved)" and actually do something. Something like persuade Russia and China so that we could actually get full, binding, international sanctions against North Korea through the U.N. Last time N.K. shot missiles in the general direction of Japan (7 in total, on July 4th) we got soooo close to getting this through. But then China demanded they would veto it if the a full, binding sanction was included in the language.

    Uh, you said yourself that we tried to get the other Eastern Asian countries to cooperate once, what else do you want other than our protection...(Oil has nothing to do with this, and does not dictate our foreign policy in countries that do not have it, perhaps in ones that do but thats a different story).

    And if you have not noticed this article is about N.Korea performing an unanounced nuclear test. Which means N.Korea has no problems breaking the rules and therefore would have no problem lying about abductions to the world. So for all purposes this article agrees with you that N.Korea's Government has some questions surrounding it.

    But isn't it "thefacebook.com", I mean if your going to post something make it right?
