Isn't that a weekly thing for them? I was always under the impression that N.K is always launching new missiles.

Boy you're out of touch with reality. This is only their third orbital attempt since 1998.

Also, it broke apart before leaving the atmosphere. lol.

I think this feels appropriate.

George Zimmerman is being charged with second degree murder, heard he cried in jail.

If Trevon attacked Zimmerman then were was the blood and the wounds on Zimmerman?

And following is provoking how many people want someone following them.

[miguelnuva]

What I'm trying to say is if your walking down the street and someone is following you, your not going to feel your life is in danger?

A bounty of $16 million has been placed on the heads of Bush and Obama.

*sigh*

[Julia Bristow]

really a 16 million dollar bounty on Bush & Obama's heads heads?

[Crocodile]

A bounty of $16 million has been placed on the heads of Bush and Obama.

Wow, Parliament must be so embaressed.

[Kiryu2012]

...Who the hell would hunt for Obama and Bush?!? Granted it might be Mr. Black, but any human would have to be -------- beyond belief to place a bounty on Obama and Bush's heads.

[omgitsgodzilla]

From the sound of it, it was basically done as an act of protest.

[HayesAJones]

Get the idea, but pretty terribly way to express it. He's gonna have overenthusiastic patriots at his throat for the rest of time.

Anyway, Bush really should be brought in for trial on war crimes. His war crimes far exceed those of Bin Laden, who was already assassinated for what he did. To quote an American prosecutor from the Nuremburg trials for Nazi war criminals, "To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

Of course, a bounty is the wrong way to bring justice. But you have to consider the double-standard at play here.

Hold the phone here...I'm uncertain of what "war of aggression" Bush started.

That said, almost every war crime a Nazi was charged with in the 1950s could also have been charged against American, British, French, Russian, and Chinese military leaders. That's the fun part about international laws: they only apply to the losers.

You mean the military action taken to remove a tyrannical dictator from power? That's not a war of aggression. Maybe if Iraq was annexed, sure.

[Legionmaster]

I don't know why I'm even taking you serious, man.

Stating "His war crimes far exceed those of Bin Laden" and actually thinking that the Nuremburg Trials are a good example of fair, competent, judicial acts to use as precedent is really, really funny.

Also, waging an illegal war isn't the same as committing a war crime. If you can even shoulder a charge like that on a single individual anyway.

It's also useless claim, by de facto standards. It would take a class A lunatic to even fathom trying to bring such charges up against the United States. Even then, they wouldn't have the clout. Nor is there any gain from such an action other than personal smugness. It's a ridiculous claim to make because it wouldn't ever happen.

[Legionmaster]

Parliament is pretty stupid. They're like rednecks but with Posh accents.

The House of Lords resents that.

And Jomei, I'm not even going to bother responding to your argument, because it's one of the most asinine things I have ever read.

[Kiryu2012]

I STILL don't see why anybody aside from a Predator would try and place a bounty on Bush's and Obama's heads and announce this unspeakable crime.

I swear, quoting the TF2 Soldier, 'If I have to crack some skulls I will.'

[Darth Calypso]

God the Parliament is stupid.

I'm kinda tempted to look throughout my old Yuigioh deck to see if there's anything worth something.
