This was the last incident similar to the shooting in Oregon.
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012...cials-say?lite Just read another article about it. Aparently 2 were shot and killed, and the gunman was "neutralized/killed" by the police. Only one other person was injured. Why? Becuase the AR-15 jammed, cops found a full magazine discarded on the ground. Good thing this guy didn't have a shotgun. Clackamas Town Center shooting: At least 2 shot dead, more injured by man with rifle http://www.oregonlive.com/clackamasc..._shooting.html Since we're on the gruesome subject of the carnage in the US, here's another little nasty article.

I am interested to find an explanation as why they are capable to launch a satellite. Most of the nations other than the superpowers that are capable to do this are either large developing nations (China, India) or affluent developed nations who can afford to throw a lot of money at the projects (Japan, France). So where exact does the North Korean got their technology from?

CNN reports that the initial phases of Korean missile technology date back to the late 1970s. They started with Soviet Scuds and Chinese technical assistance. That piece links to this more extensive report from the International Institute for Security Studies. I found this paragraph especially interesting:

In the case of ROK, they already fired their first ballistic missile in 1978, resulting in the Hyunmoo in 1982. The only reason ROK never had as extensive a missile program as DPRK is because of an agreement with the US to cap the range in 1979.

Nukes are of value to the N. Koreans only when used as bargaining chips in negotiation rooms, using them in a hostile manner including the actual launch of a weapon like you said would be a scenario far worse than the Cuban crisis, and would almost certainly guarantee annihilation of the N.Korean regime. |

Now word is suggesting, less I'm wrong, that the second refit of Kwangmyŏngsŏng-3 did make orbit.

Stephen Colbert reveals the secret behind North Korea's sudden technological leap forward.
I hope our government has figured out how to defend eight-year-old girls from this horrific threat!

What happens right now involves the kids of all those bitter c**ts who are now adults and brainwashed by the old senile people bitter about losing 2 referendums. That's why I never shy away from saying that the day this debate is laid to rest is when all those old fools will all go into their graves (and that includes Pauline Marois). In normal time, PQ should be dead and buried if it wasn't for those idiots from rural counties and many among the old. On the topic of North Korea, can we EMP the crap out of them once and for all? I'm sick and tired of their attempts to put everyone on the edge. |

14-year-old Reproductive Health Bill passed in Congress. Those against the bill are now fuming mad.
