We're all going to burn.
How can our government continue to do this to us? And yet we give trillions of dollars in bailout to companies who are in the red--and not one cent of this fund goes to students! It's not like we fucked up anywhere, and it's not like we have any means to pay off the debt any time soon through profit margins! Goddamnit, it's outrageous, the best I can do lately is hang my head low and pretend it isn't happening, 'cause there sure as fuck isn't anything I can do about it.
students, unlike companies, don't have a chance of paying back their loans
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. ahem
I agree, I demand more money
Oh hurry up and just be more stupid already! The Govt wants you to be that way, now hurry up!
A US government agency has reversed its recent decision to refer to a small island claimed by both Japan and South Korea as no longer belonging to any country, and will continue calling it South Korean territory.
Last week, the US Board on Geographic Names changed its designation of the island from South Korean to non-designated sovereignty. South Korea strongly protested the decision.
On Wednesday, the Asian affairs chief of the National Security Council Dennis Wilder said President George W Bush ordered Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to look into the matter after being contacted by the South Korean government. Bush is visiting South Korea next week.
He said the decision was then made that the board's database will go back to referring to the island as South Korean.
Wilder said he regrets that last week's change in designation was perceived by South Koreans as some sort of change in the US policy.
He said the US remains neutral on the dispute, and that Japan and South Korea should work diplomatically to resolve the issue.

military access through japan is a major part of US force projection in east asia, you are very dumb.
Those Korean extremists went too far when they cut open and ate those pheasants alive, and pulled the limbs of that pig using ropes.
Make it Takeshima.
>>15
Actually, I think that particular protest was over the US military presence or something.
(But the Koreans really just wanted an excuse to torture animals.)
Nice to meet you. I am one Japanese who lives in Japan.
The response of honest Japanese Government was too bad for Takeshima.
The nature passes in Kunashirito and Etorofuto in the Hokkaido north and
Takeshima is a situation where the South Korea army has already resided.
It is a situation in which the person who agrees with South Korea exists also
in the government in Japan though doesn't go out publicly.
It completely has and South Korea is a troublesome country.
I am sorry for the thing that is strange English because the search engine is
used.
>>17
tell you what, you can have takeshima if you sincerely apologize for korean sex slaves and the rape of nanking
>>18
yes because he raped all them wimins.
Fuck, "hurr aporogize." It's so fucking useless. Them wimins are already dead anyway.
>>19
true, but it's something the jappos can never bring themselves to do so maybe it will curtail their whining for a bit
This site and the 2ch portal have taught me to stop loving anime and start hating asians.
Choppari will never apologise, then again, it shall soon be of no consequence because Japan will sink beneath the waves! Urinara manse.
sigh
Looks like the U.S. still has a long way to go.
> non-binding declaration
So...?
Even if this was actually international law... how the hell do you enforce it? Sanctions? Embargo? Invasion? Occupation?
Last I checked the USA is a Sovereign State.
Signing onto "International Legislation" would erode States Sovereignty.
Much like how the UN also passed "Legislation" to criminalize so called "offenses" against Islam. Is in reality anti-free Speech...
> Last I checked the USA is a Sovereign State.
So were Iraq, Afghanistan, et al. Until now I seriously believe not a single American had the word 'Sovereignty' in his vocabulary.
There are two types of states: Those that respect sovereignty and those that respect no state's sovereignty but their own.
I'm not being a jackass, but this is a jackass thread. Just look at the first paragraph of this poorly written story:
> The United States — along with Russia, China, and many Arab countries — has stirred up international tensions by refusing to sign a United Nations declaration that condemns anti-gay laws and demands international decriminalization of homosexuality.
wikinews... serious business... how about we just use this thread as an exercise in critical thinking to pick apart the 'article' and find every bit of bias, ignorance, misinformation, misdirection and overreaction.
At least 50 people have lost their sight after staring at the sun hoping to see an image of the Virgin Mary, according to reports.
Alarmed health authorities in India's Kottayam district have set up a sign dispelling rumours of a miraculous image in the sky and warning of the dangers of looking into direct sunlight.
Forty-eight cases of sight-loss, allegedly caused by photochemical burns on the retina, have been recorded at St Joseph's ENT and Eye hospital in the region since Friday.
Despite warnings, and the potentially harmful effects of their actions, believers are allegedly still flocking to a hotelier's house in Erumeli near where the divine image is said to have appeared.
"All our patients have similar history and symptoms… They have developed photochemical, not thermal, burns after continuously gazing at the sun," Dr Annamma James Isaac, the hospital's ophthalmologist said.
（ ・∀・） I want to see the virgin as well!
（ ・∀・）
（ ・∀・）
（ X∀X) Yay!
Fucking idiots! I lol'd!
sometimes it works, you know
LOL, he claimed his statues oozed stuff, so people looked into the sun, became blind, and then he moves away.
THAT KINDA SHIT is why Bodhidarma went to China.
any way irespect this people
I predict a lot more miracles like this happening with the tanking economy. If you can really sell a miracle to the public, then you can make some bank.
[b]Fritzl's daughter leaves clinic[/b]
An Austrian woman [b]allegedly[/b] held as a sex slave by her father for 24 years has left the clinic where she had been recovering since being freed in April.
Elisabeth Fritzl and the six children allegedly sired by her father had moved into their own house, her lawyer said.
Josef Fritzl faces trial in early 2009 on charges of kidnapping Elisabeth, now 42, when she was 18 and holding her captive in a bunker in his back garden.
He is also charged with slavery, rape and the murder of one child.
That child - his seventh with Elisabeth - was born in the underground chamber in Amstetten, west of Vienna, but died in infancy.
Mr Fritzl is alleged to have refused to call for medical help after the baby was born, despite knowing the child could die.
It's just a legal issue. They'll say that until he's proven guilty in trial.
Police have banned a woman driver's car from the road - for being too untidy.
The Vauxhall Astra was so full of junk, magazines, old clothes and even bits of furniture that they could barely see the driver at it roared down a motorway in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The driver - who has not been named by police - has been banned from taking the car on the road again until it has passed a tidiness test.

In defense of Dusseldorf police, that is one goddamn messy car. It's like a solid mess <i>wall</i>.
"Complex Shit", a sculpture by the American artist Paul McCarthy, cast loose its moorings and was lifted by a sudden gust of wind from the Paul Klee centre in Berne and carried 200 yards to eventually make landfall in the grounds of a children's home.
Museum authorities said the work had an automatic safety device that was supposed to make it deflate in the event of a storm - but it failed to operate.
The museum's director Juri Steiner said Mr McCarthy had not yet been informed of the fate of his artwork, and that he had not yet decided whether to reinstall it in the centre's garden.
The sculpture was featured in an exhibition called "East of Eden. A Garden Show".
The Paul Klee centre's website described the show as containing "interweaving, diverse, not to say conflictive emphases and a broad spectrum of items to form a dynamic exchange of parallel and self-eclipsing spatial and temporal zones."
W! that hillarious!
To all aspiring artists out there...
PROTIP: art is a means of communication. If people do not understand your work, it means your giant dog poo sculpture is made of fail and you should go back to working for McDonald's.
Thank you.

This is terrible. This is really getting to me.

If you really cared about nature, and animals, you would allow your flesh and organs to be eaten by carnivores.
A New Braunfels woman is outraged over what she considers a racist attempt to intimidate her grandchildren from using her subdivision's swimming pool.
Mary Alice Altorfer is hosting a visit from her two grandchildren, whose father is African American. The children swam at the River Tree subdivision pool every day for about a week before someone posted a flier on the pool gate bearing a picture of a black man with a large afro haircut, his arms folded across his chest and the words “POOL'S CLOSED” superimposed.
“I didn't even get the implication at first — then it hit me like a club,” Altorfer said. “I was furious. These are two little kids, and it just makes me angry. I was shocked and angry and hurt.”
Altorfer said only one black couple lives in the subdivision of 172 homes, which average about $200,000 in value, and they never use the pool. She added that the only African Americans who have used the pool in recent weeks are her 6-year-old granddaughter Isabel Martinez and 9-year-old grandson Nicholas Martinez.
“I guess whoever put that up probably didn't like our color,” Nicholas said. “It made me kind of upset.”
"A week ago, New Braunfels grandmother Mary Alice Altorfer had never heard of YouTube."

Well there you go. I hate old shits butting into our business, especially black old people (the most irritating kind aside from Chinese and Korean old people).
So, that is why 4chan went down.
So its safe to say that anonymous and 4chan are another product of white nazism.Serves right that 4 chan went down.
Damn. And I just got my confidence in humanity back up to the societal norm.
FUCKING NIGRAS
