    there should be an option for socks, shorts, and then sandals. Best look ever especially with knee high socks so awesome.

    Lol sounds like you're a littlebit traumatized by the outward appearance of middle aged German men :lol:

  7. BAN THE FLAG?????

    in Politics?

    Posted

    Earlier this week, six undergraduate members of the UCI’s student-government Legislative Council passed a bill that bans hanging a flag from any nation in the common lobby area of the student government offices.

    This misguided decision was not endorsed or supported in any way by the campus leadership, the University of California, or the broader student body. The views of a handful of students passing a resolution do not represent the opinions of the nearly 30,000 students on this campus, and have no influence on the policies and practices of the university.

    The American flag is still proudly flying throughout our campus and will continue to do so.

    Student-body president Reza Zomorrodian has publicly opposed the legislation. The Executive Cabinet of the student government will meet today to discuss a veto. A motion to veto and a second are on the table. One more vote is needed for a veto. We encourage the student government to veto this legislation and abandon any further efforts to pursue it.

    We hold the value of intellectual inquiry and the free and rigorous exchange of ideas as bedrock values of institutions of higher education. And yet, we are constantly reminded that those values we cherish are in part, guaranteed by the sacrifices made and the struggles waged to secure the freedom and democracy that the flag symbolizes. UCI never takes that for granted.

    I would recommend doing more research before letting your emotions boil over after reading or watching the first thing.

  8. US Ambassader attack with knife in North Korea

    I spent 2 tours in Korea with the Army. The first one, the country was still under Martial Law. The older generation still remembers the Korean war. The younger generation are a bunch of idiots. The college students especially. They believe the garbage the North Koreans spout. They think everything will be fine and the North and South will re-unite. Only problem is, it will be under the thumb of the North. They will learn to late its not going to be like they were promised.

    copied and pasted an article on the NBC new website

    The U.S. ambassador to South Korea, Mark Lippert, was slashed in the face and arm by a knife-wielding man Thursday morning local time (late evening Wednesday ET) in Seoul, officials said.

    The envoy was on his way to attend a morning lecture in central Seoul when the attack took place, according to the Yonhap news agency, which published a picture of Lippert bleeding.

    Lippert suffered a four-inch-long, one-inch-deep gash down the right side of his face and another cut on his arm, a hospital official said. Lippert underwent a successful three-hour surgery Thursday morning and was in stable condition," Yonsei Severance Hospital chief Chung Nam-sik told reporters.

    "Some paralysis of his face and left arm senses are expected and the ambassador is needed to be hospitalized at least three to four days," Chung said.

    The attacker, identified as Kim Ki-jong, a 55-year-old man with anti-war views, allegedly came at Lippert from behind and slashed him before being tackled by others who were also on the way to the lecture, police said.

    I dont understand why our country is bothering to help other countrys when they obviously dont want nor deserve it. Also Americans are put to death in one country(i think Iraq) just for being Americans >:( What i think is we should just let the other countrys fend for themselves and if they ask for help send them a middle finger. Also citizens that want to leave the country despite whats been happening on the news should have there citizenship papers

    burned and be givin a hiking backpack with all the traveling supplies needed.

    My only response to this is the same response you get from people who are treated differently in the United states due to choice of religions, skin color, or who they love. The actions of one do not represent the opinions of many. To go to the point of where only one man dictates whether an entire countries opinion is the shared is a little extreme. I will say this if voted by the local government to no longer receive aid by all means we should not be in the country.

    As a seattle fan I just wanna say it was a great game to go from that amazing catch to that interception was gut wrenching. I will also say the pats rookie made an amazing defensive play, Irvin gave a very poor representation of the Hawks after the play. Good game to you pats fans. Seahawks will see u next year
