So, North Korea said they will send missiles to the USA if provoked. I wonder if this is the USA's subdued response but a pointed response

I know that almost every single military obsessed american gets a little hard-on at the thought of a new bad guy who's threatening freedom and the american way of life.

NK simply is not going to launch a missile at the US. Ever.

p.s. if i'm wrong, i'll apologise

I'm willing to bet the majority of Americans know nothing about NK or the missiles. However, they could tell you about Michael Jackson. The hard ons are simply not there.

Apology accepted Of course, it will not matter then will it

Kind of a backup to grundman there.

I don't see NK being stupid enough to launch a live rocket.

I do not see it either but NK persists with it. Do you think it is prudent to keep abreast of NK's moves? I would say so.

this is the pertinent bit of my post, boss. But i'll do a trousers check if you require it (starting with rockstar)

If my initial assumption is found to be wrong, i'll make the following declaration in my sig!

"Most military-obsessed Americans do not have hard-ons at the thought of a new bad guy threatening to blow you all up, after all"

Well, I'm relieved, what with insane dictators having such a good track record of doing what makes sense and in the best interest of their people.


What's truly sad is that millions of people are suffering daily under this idiot and the Western world cares little. A colossal crime against humanity is being carried out, as bad as slavery, and nothing is done.

I'm really beginning to believe there is a grudge from the Korean War here. It is almost on the edge of being nuts if not already nuts.

(or atlease i surspect... Krazy Kim would be in his shelter if he has one...

Does anyone know if Krazy Kim is still alive....
