If anyone can develop an application who can automatically move your friends between these freaking web apps, that will be super...

Or, as the article say, if Facebook became THE GOOGLE of social networking apps, then we can stop searching and moving again every 6 months. Which is a good thing.

Reason why you will never get Asia to support your radical ideas

I like having multiple wives. Hell, its a man's dream/nightmare. But killing these people just for that?

They were not on a missionary mission. They were coming to volunteering for providing only medical and other volunteer aid to distressed people in your war-ravaged country.

I can tell you that, if you kill these people, S.Korea will sent their best marines to come hunt you down and cut your heads and limbs off.

They are not Japanese, nor they are Chinese. The are hot-blooded Koreans. If they can commit Hara-Kiri, cover themselves with bees, cut their own fingers off to protest against their government policies towards Japan, imagine what they will DO TO YOU if you kill their young sons and daughters who came to help you with good intentions.

They will make you say "Allāhu Akbar" with your tongue cut off ... and your OWN head on your laps!

There are six rules you need to consider before you blow yourself up.

Rule No. 1: You can kill bystanders without feeling a lot of guilt.
Rule No. 2: You can kill children, too, without needing to feel distress.
Rule No. 3: Sometimes, you can single out civilians for killing; bankers are an example.
Rule No. 4: You cannot kill in the country where you reside unless you were born there.
Rule No. 5: You can lie or hide your religion if you do this for jihad.
Rule No. 6. You may need to ask your parents for their consent.

If you abide by these rules(or find exceptions from some old scripts ), you will be in heaven.

No! In mother Russia, where cars drive you, you don't get murdered by polonium210.

In mother Russia, Polonium eats you. Whether you die or not, its up to god...but there is no god.

Anyway, after all these years, the cold war is over and the West is no longer an enemy but, as far as you can tell, it is no friend.

I like this paragraph,

"Many years ago, when I first came to work in Moscow, a political pundit close to the Kremlin told me that the problem between Russia and the West is that Russians are white.

“We look like you. We look like Europeans and so the West expects us to think and act like you. As a result, when we don’t you get all upset. Why can’t they be like us, you fret. But you don’t say that about the Chinese, for instance. You don’t expect them to think and act like you. Well, we are white but we are different.”

It is interesting that Japan is the subject of comparison when trying to look back in history for similar instance where American supremacy is being challenged by another foreign country.

A democratic capitalism vs a one party state "capitalism" - 19th century style one where workers be damed, environment be damned, morals be damned and get rich is glorious.

I hope the history don't repeat itself 'cause 100million of angry stock holders may cause a very big harmonic noise of "TMD", and that won't be a harmonic society anymore.
