Of course they want to produce plutonium for the nuclear buildup. Yet we shouldn't act offended or surprised - it is nukes that ensure that a country's leader cannot be bombed and easily sodomized to death.


Colonization of the Brazilian federal state of Rondônia was accompanied by extermination of indigenous tribes by settlers and widespread deforestation.


...which is a step back from the usual Japanese practice of choosing a kaishakunin to render some assistance


'blessed hell' - Are you talking about Chronicles or Clarity or both? Ain't familiar with either, am I at risk of contracting MUMPS?
