  1. Bayern Munich (finally) won the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League!

    The final score of that epic Bundesliga match was 2:1. Both teams played an awesome game. Lots of chances, both keepers (Manuel Neuer and Roman Weidenfeller) showed once more that they are one of the best in the world. Both teams deserved to win imo.

    Great match!

  2. The Red arrows came to my city! Such a fantastic show! :D Too bad it wasn't properly advertised; not many people were aware. I thought we were being bombarded at first :P Was lovely though! So coordinated, bless.

  3. ^ :P

    Well I'm getting excited about Saturday. I personally don't care who wins, even though I'd prefer Bayern over Dortmund this time. Just because Dortmund won enough titles in recent years, and my friends need to calm down.

  4. I haven't read the previous comments because of spoilers.

    But I started watching yesterday and finished season 1 today. And I must say I love the show. :P

    Dina, you're the best/youngest looking 30 year old I've ever seen. :tongue0020: well... next to Widu I mean of course. :mellow:

     

    Oh Jon.  :blush:

  7. Somewhat dark, I knowww, but I grew my brows and I feel accomplished :P

     

     

    Do I actually look like I'm in my 30s? A person on fb just said this and it strikes me as odd because in real life people always tell me I look younger than my age, so maybe it's the camera? I don't know.

     

    Cute husky! :o

  8. china better keep it's n. korean pet dog on a tighter leash. if those n. korean nutcases try to nuke japan as they are now threatening, the fallout will easily spread across the 200 mile-wide Sea of Japan, and hit those tons of chinese navy and army bases on the coast. china is shooting itself in the feet, if it doesn't reign in that fatboy waving around his insane daddy's nuclear fire-crackers. i am so sick of the chinese and their half commie/half capitalist country. pick one, morons. you can't have your cake and it eat it too. grrrrr

     

    Exactly why no one will use them. But North Korea can only get attention if they threaten. I mean the USA does it as well. They constantly threaten Iran. And they constantly threaten North Korea. Military maneuvers on the coast etc. It's a natural reaction. So why can't North Korea or any other country do the same? Or own nuclear weapons? Who are we to decide who can have them and who can't if the US, and everyone else owns them as well.

    It's pretty pathetic how our media makes Kim Jong-un look. This isn't serious journalism.

     

    Why should they "pick one"? It works quite well for them. 

     

    Yeah, there is some truth in it.

     

    But because China had always helped Korea they are trying again to get something more out of the west, some more privileges they want.

    And self if they Shoot the weapons, they will probably still existing, because America and co can´t attack without chinas permission so maybe just the leader of the state will be another, the state will be the same or as good as.

     

    it is said how complicated and frustrating war is today. If truth be told, i hate it. To much politic in it, to much rules and codes you have to obey who makes things so difficult that in the end for the war is after the war. Nothing changed. Ok a bit, but so few that you have to get a close look to realize it.

     

    In the end. i think Nuclear weapons and other stuff like chemical weapons etc. should be totally forbidden and states who doesn´t obey should be punished by getting attacked by special forces who destroy the Weapons or steal them. So that every dictator and every state is thinking twice if he should stay against the law.

     

    Since when wasn't war "complicated and frustrating" or sad? There were always politics behind it. And I don't really remember anyone ever obeying to rules in war. Nobody actually listens to the UN if they say "no". Look at the last Iraq War, or the Kosovo War. They were both wars of aggression that are not allowed. Both times they were unjustified.

  9. Thanks Dax.  The U.S. media was one of the things I was really wondering about.  I watch less media than I have ever watched before because I become more and more skeptical of the t.v. media.  I suppose the best or most reliable sources might come from print media, but one of the toughest decisions I make especially when it comes to world affairs is knowing where to get my news/current events from.  I know that virtually everyone has some agenda and to ask for an entirely unbiased news source is not realistic.  I believe it's good to have an opinion any way, I just don't feel comfortable shaping my opinions from sources more concerned with sensationalizing a story than reporting it accurately.  It's hard to not feel a little concern when each time I go to my MSN home page or each time I turn on even the local news I'm seeing another story about Kim Jong-Un and a threat against South Korea or the United States.

     

    That said, to me this entire story is becoming as much about my skepticism over what I hear/read as it is about North Korea and Kim Jong-Un. Who do people trust most as legitimate news sources here?  I know most of what I see is from what I call the "popular media" now - that which is on the national news networks and thier websites. I'm not someone who desires being a news or current events junky, but I do desire knowing where news current events junkies turn to when something does peak my interest, so I don't just fall victim to the hype.

     

    Well if you don't want to fall for the hype, don't watch CNN or Fox News etc. They are one of the worst imo. That being said I wouldn't trust any media tbh. But if you want to see other opinions, I recommend Russia Today. 

    The Guardian has sometimes good articles too.

    As Dax pointed out though, the media is over exaggerating things. Creating panic.

  10. A few years ago I would have seen it the same way, but now it seems less and less likely.

    First thing is, do the US and China really want to risk all out war with its ruinous cost and destabilizing potential because of some weird and embarrassing regime in the north?

    Second, I heard that by now the fighting power of the south is three or four times that of the north. Destructive power, not manpower. The shift to high-tech weapons and efficient combined arms tactics hasn't been kind to the ponderous, old fashioned mass conscript army of the north. We all know what happens to a huge mechanized army when caught in the open concentrated on a handful of roads without air superiority....and that is the one thing the north just can't achieve.

    Attacking the south is countdown to suicide for Kim-jong-ill.....

     

    If there was open fighting, I think the US and China know its best to let the two Koreas slug it out, keep it contained, then go on doing business as usual. The chinese probably have more to gain from a "South Korea" directly on their doorstep than that maoist-style detention camp they have now!

     

    In the 1950's-1980's, the chinese had little to loose....but now????;)Do chinese generals want to risk their pretty new military to help that sorry excuse for a ruler? I know what I would say if he called for help.....

    I have to agree.

     

    The other question is would the USA really dare to challenge China. I'm not convinced that this will happen anytime soon. Besides as you said Jeremy, the war has been going since the 1950's. I don't think there will be a full scaled war, not a-bomb wise at least.
