    Nagasaki

    Hardly, Japan was already in an incredibly weakened state by the time of Hiroshima. Even people in the military at that time agreed it should never have happened. Quotes have already been posted. Force, first off, more was embargoed than just oil, I thought you would've atleast known that...

    Nagasaki

    Sorry, but I don't care for Ben Affleck nor getting my facts from Hollywood movies. A little bit real researching goes a long way. Those facts were around long before the movie. :) I can however see with comments like that no real discussion can take place, just petty insults. So sad :(

    Google Alert - IMPORTANT!

    I have to agree, this nothing new imo. You can find quite a lot of information out about anyone if you just know where to look. Take Texas for example, I can probably tell you more details about your home and taxes than you know thanks to all the free info you can find online from public...

    Nagasaki

    I did. You can find the quotes I listed along with plenty others at the following address. This particular page of quotes is especially nice because they all contain their sources of information, not just something the site creator dreamed up. They are fascinating to read. :)...

    Up to 200,000 kept in North Korea's 'slave' camps: report

    The US supports such "slave camps" in Uzbekistan as well, and their atrocities include boiling people. We sent the country a couple hundred million dollars. The US doesn't care. :(

    Mattell makes Wiccan Barbie - Is this right?

    MrsMom, I don't see you responding to my post though. Don't you think it's hypocritical to buy Barbie for your children, but stop because they come out with a spells Barbie? I mean after all, the original ones promoted some very bad values as well (beauty, materialism, etc) that I believe are...

    Mattell makes Wiccan Barbie - Is this right?

    I still don't see this as some Wiccan doll, more likely a Harry Potter spin off for girls and Mattel just wanting to make a few bucks. The potion is no different than kool-aid, just a sugary powder you mix with water. As for the "secret spells" she is hiding, that's just a sales gimmick...

    Mattell makes Wiccan Barbie - Is this right?

    Ah, thank you, I overlooked it there. I just couldn't find any well known stores carrying it (online atleast), so that's why I wasn't so sure. Thanks though, and I agree, I don't think it's much of anything to be concerned about.

    Mattell makes Wiccan Barbie - Is this right?

    MrsMom, so far I have been unable to find anything regarding "Secret Spells" Barbie on the Mattel site or any other official information regarding it. None of the listed retailers that Mattel refers to to buy their products has it either. However, I saw a few copies on ebay. Not exactly...

    A Dark Side to Homeschooling

    Wow, got to love how people generalize and say liberals are anti-homeschool. Most of my family (including my parents) are more on that side of things and they homeschooled me after 9th grade (our school just really sucked), and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Thing is though, it really...

    WMDs found!

    Well in that case, look back to the 1980's when the US gave Iraq plenty of technology to fight Iran, including a variety of biological weapons technology. Plenty of sources can be found in google for it.

    Bad News for the 47 Democratic Hopefuls

    The poll wasn't about Iraqi, it was about Americans voting for Bush. I have to admit, like the others, quite funny how that poll meant nothing yet this one which has a different result does :D

    Bush approval ratings moving up

    Again, polls mean nothing imo. It only represents that group that is polled. Poll another group of equal size and the results will vary.

    Successful Launch for China

    Most likely. A while back that had an incident with an unmanned rocket that was going to launch a satellite into space and it was broadcast live, but it blew up. I don't think they wanted a repeat of that, despite how much the rockets had been successfully tested earlier. Glad he made it...

    Successful Launch for China

    China launched it's first successful manned flight today putting the first Yunhangyuan (Taikonaut) by the name of Yang Liwei into space. This makes China the third country in history to successfully launch a man into space. Before lift off China decided not to broadcast the launch live (for...

    WMDs found!

    Personally I don't care if both sides agree, that still doesn't make it right. Everyone is just grasping at straws, there is no solid proof so far to support Bush's claims...

    Letters from Iraq

    It's a letter they didn't right, for all you know the soldier doesn't even agree. Things aren't going well however, ask the soldiers who had to recently leave from one town due to the anti-american violence getting out of hand. Seems it's so bad we are retreating...
