Russia threatens U.S. and Poland with Nuclear Attack.
As a last resort, probably. Declaring war on a country like Georgia (Which they basically already did) or Poland would be more likely. But the US would most likely have to take action if it was on a major country. I'm pretty sure Russia would threaten to though.

Russia threatens U.S. and Poland with Nuclear Attack.
I love the people that say "Oh good I don't live in the US, I'm safe." To quote Tolkien/Peter Jackson, through Merry (Might have been Pippin), talking to Treebeard... "But you're part of this world, aren't you?...You must help...Please." Guess what the Ents ended up doing? Seeing all the bad that Saruman did, and then they destroyed Isengard. A country like Canada or Great Britain most likely won't remain neutral if a war does occur. Just like the Ents didn't stay neutral. Yeah, it might not be their/your war in the first place, but it will be. Because you're part of this world. And that's it for my Tolkien quote for the day.

A twist on obesity in Britain
Hah, same, I eat fast food basically once every week, lunch at school is not healthy at all, I spend nearly all my free time playing video games, and I don't exercise that much. You'd think I'd be fat from reading that. I'm not. I'm the skinniest kid in my school. Anyway, I think they should just force those kids to go to the doctor's more, for weight checks. To make sure obese people are losing weight, giving more chances to talk with parents, and give options and recommendations to help.

speed stacking has got nothing on this.
I thought it would've been Chinese yo-yo. That's amazing, this is incredible too. I never really liked regular yo-yos, I was too short so they would hit the ground before anything happened. I took Chinese yo-yo lessons for a few years though, that was pretty fun. And yay Asians.

Learning a Language
J'ai apprendu le français pour trois années? Honestly don't remember anything. Summer vacation has that effect. Anyway, I'd go with Rosetta if you have the money, otherwise there should be some online "classes" that might help.

Russia threatens U.S. and Poland with Nuclear Attack.
Are there too many emos in Poland or something? Reminds me of The End of the World. MOTHERLAND! Am I supposed to joke around, or be serious? I can't tell. I guess I'll be serious and say that I hope nothing extremely bad happens...I think that includes nuking.

Anime, It's Not That Good
Priceless thread much? I've never really watched anime. I could see myself liking Avatar or Naruto or something though. :lol: I watched Spirited Away at school in sixth grade and it was boring as hell. :| Weeaboos (Or whatever they're called, I just call them Asian girls...Because basically all the Asian girls at my school love anime) get on my nerves though, mainly because of my friends was one and he kept randomly blurting Japanese out at me. I would just respond with "HONDA CIVIC SUSHI NINJA TOYOTA MITSUBISHI SAKI DOKI DOKI GOMENSAI."

Olympics 2008
My sister, an Asian (Chinese/Taiwanese if you must know), is 17. Those girls look like what she looked like when she was 12, 13. She's never done gymnastics though, so if that has some effect then that could be it. I'm sure China isn't the only one doing it though. I remember hearing there was a girl on the Japanese team who is even smaller. Oh, and basically everyone knows China is "cheating" now. One of the things about being the host country, I guess.

It's official, my brother is a moron
Why what happened? It's something that just happens, I'm pretty sure. Because it's the exact same with me and my sister. Though it's partially because she's nearly always holed up in her room. When she's not, she's watching TV. On the TV connected to my Wii. Arguments ensue. On topic, that really sucks. Make sure he gets in trouble for it, big trouble. Threaten to call the cops even, if you aren't willing to.

Combat Arms - 100% Free FPS - Review, Pictures & Videos
Played a bit with my friend today, I'm much better than him. Though he hasn't played much. (And the fact that I've memorized Snow Valley and all the decent sniping spots...) Nearly all my games today ended with me having more kills than deaths, and usually a flag capture/save as well. One was as high as 37-11, I think. All I really do though is camp at the enemy flag. Not as easy as it sounds, sometimes I have to deal with 6 guys firing at me (And a few times, I somehow managed to dodge every bullet and kill them all :lol: ), and the hardest and most crucial is probably taking down enemy players who have our flag. I'm getting good at hitting moving targets, I once stopped our flag literally a centimeter from the enemy flag. Anyway, what exactly do clans do? I know there's a clan server...How does it work? Clan wars?

Computers - Have They Gotten Too Advanced?
I honestly still can't figure out how to open programs off the thing on the bottom. The icon bounces up and down, but nothing happens. Yeah, I fail. Though I've been using Windows since i was 2 or 3, I have pictures of me on a computer back in Taiwan. Still, schools here have always used Macs, so I've used a good share of them starting in first grade. I don't remember Windows 95, but I remember 98 and Me. Ah, good times. (For the record, I still have a computer on Me. :) ) Anyway, computers are becoming easier to learn to use, but not necessarily simpler. Just like Nintendo (And please save that debate for another thread), they're catering to people who are new to computers.

Flag Burning.
It doesn't bother me too much, but I wouldn't do it. Eh, I'm not even American. (Though [mainland] Chinese people who burn Taiwanese flags probably annoy me. Haven't heard of any yet though.) We had a small debate about this in history last year, I barely remember any of it...But basically, what constitutes a flag? Draw the American flag on a piece of paper, color it in, then burn it...Does that count as burning a flag? Even better, just throw it out...What's different between that and burning an American flag you can buy from a store? (The answer had something to do with symbols, I don't really remember) My teacher asked each of us if we would do it, if our country did something really terrible. Everyone said no, except for a friend of mine. I can see why people would do it, but if I were rebelling or showing hate, I would find a better way.

Combat Arms - 100% Free FPS - Review, Pictures & Videos
How about ninja wizards with lazers? But yes, we ought to start a clan. Or at least all join one or something. Though I do know plenty of people who play it, mainly people from my church. For the record, it's a Chinese church. :P (Don't know if they'd be up for a clan though, or if they're in one already) And Skate is probably the highest rank here...

What adverts annoy you most?
For anyone who lives near me (Eastern Massachusetts), is Ernie Boch Jr. still around? I haven't really watched much TV lately, and I haven't seen his commercials... Anyway, Ernie Boch Jr. owns like four car dealerships on Route 1 (In Norwood! On the Automile!) and the commercials for them would keep coming on one after the other. "Boch Toyota! Route 1 in Norwood, on the Automile! I'm Ernie Boch Jr., COME ON DOWN!?" Then pause for a second or two. "Boch Honda! Route 1 in Norwood, on the Automile! I'm Ernie Boch Jr., COME ON DOWN!!" ... "Boch Kia! Route 1 in Norwood, on the Automile! I'm Ernie Boch Jr., COME ON DOWN!!!!!!!!" Quite a pain. I find the herpes commercial hilarious...They say they have herpes with a perfectly straight face. :lol: For the record though, if you receive an erection lasting for more than six hours, see a doctor right away. Those are annoying.

Nintendo DS; To Buy or Not To Buy?
$180? Really? One of my friends wanted a DS + R4 and stuff for his birthday, so a bunch of my (other) friends and I all chipped in and came up with like $200 for the DS and R4. And both have worked properly, so it's not like we bought off some cheap shop that sells broken things. Though if Nadril is correct, they won't have any in stock right now. Anyway, I remember from trying to find him stuff that we couldn't find a regular DS. Yeah, sad. I would say Lite is better though, from what I've seen. (Don't have a DS myself, pity...)

Your favorite book/book series
Hm, I found a link on CNN that linked me to another page, which sent me to another link...And I found this. Now, I haven't read the series, but still...Interesting. Wonder how it'll turn out, as successful as LotR, or as unsuccessful as Eragon.

Your favorite book/book series
What I hated about the series was that Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler, whoever you want to call him, was so desperate to have exactly 13 books for the unluckiness that he left tons of questions unanswered. We had to resort to the speculations for some decent answers. That problem could of easily been solved with a bigger book. I'm pretty sure he also wanted 13 chapters each book though... :roll: (Longer chapters? 13 epilogues?) By the way, I'm into Stone of Tears now. Wizard's First Rule was good I guess, didn't have me keep reading like some other books did, but good nonetheless.

Age differences in relationships
When you're 30, I don't think five years means as much to you as to a 16 year old. It's relative to your age, I guess. I don't really know though, I'm only a teen. Though those 20-year difference marriages sound awkward.

Emo Music to be Outlawed
Okay then i'm not on his side. I'm not going to get into the whole social class argument because everyone has different opinions and this is always a touchy subject. What i'm saying is, I shouldn't be arrested on account of how I dress or act if I ever take a trip to Russia. Ah, I forgot to comment on the actual topic. Great for Russia? I personally haven't encountered many emos at my school yet, though I'm sure I will someday. Still, I don't mind the ones that I do know...They aren't my favorite people, but it's not like I want to kill them or anything. I just ignore them for the most part. (Though I do hate people who conform for the sake of seeming cool - As if being "emo" is the coolest thing ever - with a passion)

Let's talk jeans.
Same, though I haven't bothered trying for years. I may have changed by now, who knows. Shorts during the summer (Which is basically April-October for me, even in Massachusetts). Cargo pants, khakis, sweatpants, and whatever else I can find during the winter. If I ever do wear jeans though, they'd probably be some cheap ones. Never really cared for fashion, all jeans look the same to me to be honest.

Combat Arms - 100% Free FPS - Review, Pictures & Videos
Cough. Watch that thread, no one's figured it out yet, but someone is bound to soon. And I've been called a hacker a few times now, it's hilarious. Even better when I'm at like 5-10 that game. Today, it was because I was at 11-1 at one point (Finished at like 20-5), I have no idea how. The sniping spot I picked was good I guess, and the enemies were way too easy to hit. (Half of them were just standing there doing nothing...) Snow Valley is now my favorite for everything. Just took a while to get used to, I guess.
