2012/11/9-12/18 [Politics/Foreign/Asia/Korea] UID:54529 Activity:nil | 11/9 I just noticed that the English Wikipedia page for Gangnam Style is
four times as long as the Korean page.
\_ It probably needs more explanation here. But maybe Korean is 4x
as dense as English anyway?

2012/12/5-18 [Politics/Domestic/Election] UID:54548 Activity:nil | 12/5 Romney is right after all -- our military does need more horses and
bayonets! http://www.csua.org/u/y3j Romney for 2012!
\_ I'd never considered Romney's campaign as an ad for Revolution,
but I guess that makes as much sense anything else.
\_ The tax cut removal is ill timed.
\_ holy crap. This is scary. US troops are most vulnerable as it is

2010/7/23-8/9 [Politics/Foreign/Asia/Korea] UID:53895 Activity:nil | 7/22 What's the quick rule to determine if a Korean name is male or
female? I'd hate to address Mr/Ms incorrectly. For example, is
Ji Hoon a male or female name? What about He Joon? Does "joon"
have any gender connotation?
\_ That's like asking a non-English speaker about difference
between John and Jane. There's no quick rule that can be

2010/1/4-19 [Politics/Domestic/911] UID:53611 Activity:moderate | 1/4 Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

2009/4/21-23 [Politics/Foreign/MiddleEast/Israel] UID:52884 Activity:kinda low | 4/20 Ok, I am not a Jew hater. In fact, most of my so-called "white"
friends turned out to be Jews. And I am fortunate to have
opportunity to work with whole bunch Israelis and working with them
has been an absolute pleasure. HOWEVER, I just failed to understand
why people got offended by the speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In my
relatively neutral point of view (I am an Asian), most of what he

2009/1/28-2/6 [Politics/Domestic/911] UID:52481 Activity:low | 1/28 One of the criticisms of the Patriot Act was that it was rammed
through without any time for legislators to properly review
it. Isn't that the same problem with this $800B bill?
\_ Is this $800B bill hundreds upon hundreds of pages long? It's not
coming off the heels of a crisis in national defense; rather, it's
attempting to fix a spiraling economy. Plus it seems that the

2013/4/10-5/18 [Politics/Domestic/Crime] UID:54651 Activity:nil | 4/10 Is it just me, or it seems really ironic that a bunch of iconic
monopolists in the Guilded Age funded a bunch of academic institutions
through their philanthropies and those institutions later on produced
famous academics that are highly critical of their benefactors
and attack the ideals on which those monopolists based their
philosophy on?

is an American hero because of his contribution to
Saturn V. What is wrong with America?

Nixon for FuckYouAmericaGate?
