Wait, WHAT?! A Pokemon card costing $20,000?! What is this? First we have two presidents having a bounty placed on them, and now this! What's next, people will ban others from certain households for liking MLP?

Derision is a good way to admit you have no counter-argument. Interestingly, Benjamin Ferencz, an expert in international law who prosecuted Nazi war criminals, doesn't think my argument is asinine. http://www.alternet.org/world/38604/?page=1

At least you backed off your initial objection to the Iraq War being a war of aggression.

I wasn't aware that an asinine position suddenly became correct when people decided it wasn't worth their time to dismantle.

On the lighter side of the news. It's nothing earth shattering, but I found it to be slightly amusing:

Alabama’s championship trophy falls down, goes boom

one reader response about 4 down says itall says it all-

"That is why we can't have nice things"

The same thing happened to Florida's 2006 National Championship trophy several years ago.

I heard that they're not lauching rockets into space anymore. Anyone have a link to the article (if it exists)?

Are any of the students actually paying attention to them, or has it reached the "Oh, big deal," stage?

[Kiryu2012]

I'm really sick of all these bomb threats. What's next, they'll threaten us with alligators?

Well I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure in terms of sheer destructive power and danger to human life
Bombs > Alligators.

Just a small hunch of mine.

[UltramanGoji]

Exploding alligators.

Exploding Cajun Alligators.

So now my University got some anonymous email (supposedly from the twat whos making these threats) that he'd stop if we lifted the $50,000 bounty on his head.

Because we totally needed a monetary incentive to turn his ass in.

[Kiryu2012]

Who IS this guy threatning you?

[Crocodile]

Who IS this guy threatning you?

Dunno, but he's getting smacked with some charges when they find out who he is.
Terroristic Threats in Modern America? That's no good.

We fired our cannon til the barrel melted down, so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind, and when we set the powder of the 'gator lost his mind.
Yeah, why not. alligator threats work as well as bomb threats...

Talk =/= actions. NK's talked shit about SK for decades and nothing's happened.

That's not true. They've had a few failed long range missile tests.

[Spirit Ghidorah 2010]

Any major attack on South Korea would spell immediate and total destruction of themselves. They've been sabre-rattling for as long as I can remember, and I anticipate that trend will continue.

Im not 100% upto date on world affairs but I think any march on North Korea no matter if it was provoked or not might get the attention to China, which is basically the Y2K version of Russia.

Eh, China's not exactly buddy-buddy with NK at this point. Especially after North Korea started playing around with nukes.

China's more or less referred to NK as their "Spoiled child" at this point, I don't think China shows any interest in bailing their asses out again.

[Kiryu2012]

Sometimes I wish North Korea ended up accidently bombing themselves and ending it all. Hopefully Japan somehow manages to contain NK somehow.
