That they blew a chunk in the moon to look for water!? Are there no better ways? Besides, we don't exactly have to money for colonizing the moon right now, so why bother?

Seems kind of odd that a Republican of all things would bash capitalism. Maybe he's a deep cover commie? :lol:

Maybe he can, maybe Romney can, maybe neither of them can, maybe both of them can. The BBC were uncertain.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Not the water just that they blew a chunk out of the moon. I think it's sometimes worthwhile to do something spectacular just to remind everyone out there that even though North Korea and even Russia are bungling missile tests we have the capability to do things that are absolutely terrifying.

Like putting rovers down on Mars. Those are amazing. And we could put a cruise missile in Kim Jong-un's still warm marriage bed, too.

He's going to win though, sadly.

The current polls appear neck and neck. Though, it's uncertain who will win imo. Spritalia is most likely making an assumption as it all depends on whose theory you listen to.

I'm expecting a win for Romney, it may just be the fact I'm in the asshole of the south but this sudden surge in conservativism and treating "liberal" like a slur doesn't bode well for Obamas chances.

At the end of the day, it's the states comprising the geographical area of the Union (Civil War Union) and the Pacific states that are largely important to Obama - if I was him, I wouldn't give a damn about public opinion in the Deep South.
