@Stephen Chu: If you're suggesting China simply wants to take a crack at fighting the US for the fun of it then NO, I absolutely don't think "China wants to take on the US if it can." What would be the point of arbitrarily attacking the largest importer of Chinese goods?

@Blue-Raja: The US would be out of its mind to try anything with China. Not just because they buy $162.9 billion dollars (2005) worth of goods from them every year but because China could cripple the US economy by selling the astronomical amount of debt that they have purchased from them. This would remove money…

I don't want to tell you American's how to spend your taxes but if you have a look at Death and Taxes info graphic there is a unwieldy amount of money being spent on programs that seem frivolous.

@MrFuzzyPants: But an intellectual read at the end of the day, not a story?

@MrFuzzyPants: I'll check it out this weekend, I'm not much of a reader but a good non-fiction always turns my crank.

@Totalitarianists: Seems like an interesting read, I'll look it up this weekend.

I see a lot of people saying how this is a movie that should have no attention given to it, and I agree but I also welcome its existence.

@DocSeuss: Did you reach the level cap? When I was grinding out to level 61 in and around Knoxx's base I found a ton of crazy weapons, sniper rifles that shot multiple bullets at once (like a shotgun), automatic sniper rifles (one pull of the trigger empties the 20+ round magazine), automatic rocket launchers,…

A very interesting article but I feel that a stronger correlation could be made between people with money and having more partners. I say this because money is attractive, and people with money have a larger pool of potential mates to choose from. Due to the larger pool and animal instincts they will choose a more…

@MrFuzzyPants: Granted I haven't read Ishmael, but I feel like humans are doing pretty well on the evolutionary scale.

@wjbean: No think quality AND quantity!

@brijazz: games? seems like it could be handy in some applications.

@Bluecold: Yeah seriously for less money you can get a pair of AKG K518DJ's that have much better sound quality and higher and lower frequencies for all of those high hats and deep basses.

So if it has a jet would you also need your jet certification? Or would a glider license still suffice?

@ManiacalShen: I'm waiting for the day that cavity searches become standard to get on a plane haha...ha?

@spec24: Sorry if I offended you, I should have prefaced my comment with in comparison to Canada the US political system is far more intertwined with religion. For example "In god we trust" is written on all of your currency, "god bless America" is the standard sign off to many political speeches, the fact that the…

@OMG! British Dinosaur!:I entirely agree, religious marriage (and religion entirely) should not be involved in politics. However church and state in the US seem to go hand in hand which is highly confusing to this simple Canadian.

This is why I always opt for the pat down, it may take a few extra minutes, and some fat TSA employee touching my leg, but my nudies stay in my private collection, and I don't get a healthy dose of radiation every time I fly.

Really America, it's 2010, get out of 1980's Philadelphia and get with the times. Just because you are gay doesn't mean you aren't a human being that doesn't deserve the same rights as any other person.

Heading to Japan at the end of September, this is defiantly on the list of must see's. If anyone else has anything "nerdy"/awesome to do while in Japan (all of Japan, going from Tokyo to north then traveling by foot south) let me know!
