    North Korea attacks South Korea to show "whose boss?"

    As the Pacific War was coming to a close, the Russian army was taking land in East Asia- as you may know, there are islands north of Japan that are still Russian territory taken during that period that Japan contends are theirs. In the Korean Peninsula, the Riussians took North Korea to the 38th...

    What Would You Do As President?

    I am unaware as to the structure of the corn industry (though if you're talking about the ACGA, they're more of a lobbying group), however growers of other crops are getting into corn production because compared to other cereals/crops it makes more money per acre because of the subsidies. In...

    Belief in God would be so much easier if it weren't for religion

    Who says that you have to join an orgnised religion? I agree that it's not necessary to be a member of a particular religion to believe in God.

    What Would You Do As President?

    I like your idea about hemp. Perhaps combine that with slashing subsidies for ethanol, which distorts food prices across the board.

    Wow, the North Koreans are experts at pushing a *little* bit further.

    Well, it is the Herald Sun, they're not really known for quality journalism.

    What are your favorite games?

    I really enjoy playing Audiosurf. It's surprisingly addictive, and a game that's just a lot of fun to play.

    Pumpkin pie found to be second only to bacon for increasing male sex drive

    The vanilla and strawberry smells make sense. During puberty a lot of girls wear fruity smelling stuff and as such there's a smell association between sweet fruit smells and being absurdly horny. The vanilla is similar, a lot of women's ferfume use vanilla as a component of their overall...

    "Rudd Fell due to Inability to Communicate"

    I disagree that charisma is a big factor. The last PM with charisma I would argue was Hawke, because he has the 'common man' air (despite being a Rhodes scholar... but I digress). The biggest factor that caused Howard to be such a long term PM is that he was strong willed (and I've heard similar...

    Image of Jesus appears in Irish pub.

    Ahh, the Hun. If you want news about the Eastern states that focuses on the trivial, it's the place to be. I'm sorry but Gandalf the grey blessed the ales at the Green Dragon, making it the pub with the best ale in Middle Earth.

    Should Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' Banner Hang In His Presidential Library?

    That it's such a hugely remembered part of the Iraq war is enough to argue that the banner should be preserved in some way. However I'm somewhat indifferent as to where it's kept, as long as it's looked after properly so that it doesn't get damaged.

    True: Christian's have their own Moral Relativism

    That's really my point, though. If you believe that thruth is subjective, then why such a bold thread title? Additionally, from your first paragraph- I took it as merely a description of what moral relativism is. I also noted the beginning of your next paragraph- The beginning of your...

    "Rudd Fell due to Inability to Communicate"

    Op-ed from The Australian (this is part of the article, click to read it all): There's a certain amount of truth to this. Who could forget The Chaser's 'In Due Season' song, parodying the 'Yes We Can' song by writing its equivalent about Rudd? (song itself starts at around 1:40 if you want...

    Audience loses it over Oprah's final 'Favorite Things'

    What about the work her charity does? I haven't looked into it much personally so I'm of no strong opinion on it.
