I thought this was going to be the Asian Century.
Excuse me?
Are you talking about pyramids or The Louvre?
A pyramid is functional, The Louvre is architectural.
More like picking up the slack for failures.
Yes, but they try SO hard to pretend they don't and have their careers trashed whenever anyone finds out. See: Every political career ever.
Don't believe me? Obama's presidency has a debt to Jack Ryan and his weird sexual kinks.
America is infected with religious hypocritical prudes who obsessively hate sexuality while at the same time want more and more of it all the time. Remember how the ENTIRE COUNTRY went into a panic because Janet Jackson's boob popped out?
The harder they try and suppress sex, the harder it bursts out.
I don't know how I'm STILL DOING THIS a decade into the 21st century. SMH.
Wat.
You may be blowing this out of proportion just a little.

Excuse me?
Well, you hardly see anyone building that style of architecture anymore do you?
You said Excuse me? and then posted a picture of The Louvre. You should maybe explain yourself first.
Should've been the first post.
The religous right you are talking about is not even close to every American. More they are like the racist, foul mouthed relitives that embarass you and you wish they could be moved out like prisoners to some island like Australia.

The internet was never created by one individual or one country.

jaxword, though usually quite sensible, has a strange idea that if people just had more sex, then all of the world's problems would disappear.

That is because they have Hollywood.

The pyramid as an architectural design is very functional in that it is incredibly structurally sound.

America is best.
Taking the scientists responsible for Nazi Vergeltungswaffe didn't hurt.
That was a Canadian.
We had the courage to take them, you know, after defeating the Nazi's.
Don't worry, Bro. You guys are still the best.
err wat? the internet at it is known today was invented in the US.

Sure seems like a hell of an impact from a simple boob. There shouldn't have been ANY controversy at all.
I wasn't referring to the religious right alone. Have you not read the news every other month with another politician's career nosediving because he was caught having some secret illicit sex (usually shame-filled GAY sex)?
Not quite, I say that a lot of people's problems are caused by a lack of sex (and thus by extension societal problems --> world problems). If you don't think that a ridiculous amount of problems are caused by people's pursuit of sex, you're not paying attention to politics and societal pressures.
If you don't believe me, ask yourself: Think anyone would want to rush to enlist and wage a war after just having mindblowing sex? "Hmm, yeah, I COULD go risk getting my face shredded in a desert...or I could stay here with my hot girlfriend. Boy, this is a hard decision."

I'll consider that during one of my 28 days annual leave
Fuck. I need to get my citizenship and just move there already. Four years at my current position, two weeks vacation. (Canada)
The controversy should have been about how ridiculous a publicity stunt it was.
Uh, when you advocate against gay rights and then get caught having a gay affair your career should be over.

Random question: Do non-Americans find American accents attractive, similar to how Americans often find British and Australian accents attractive?
Obviously, we have a wide variety of accents in the U.S., but I've always been curious about this.

I love the stereotypical 'Southern' accent on women.
I only just got 3 weeks after 8 years in America. But hey Apple Pie and Bald Eagles and whatnot, go 'Murica.
No, Paul Baran.

I'll never understand this. The language is called English, as in England, and not American for a reason. It was spoken many centuries before the first settlers even set foot on American soil.
And most European schools teach British English before the American variety, at my university British English is the standard.
Music is mostly in English because it's the Lingua Franca and that way artists makes sure that as many people as possible will understand it, not because English is spoken in the US.
It SHOULD have been.
But a lot of things SHOULD be.
It SHOULDN'T have been over a boob. And thousands upon thousands of people screaming complaints over seeing a boob? That SHOULDN'T be, either.
But it is.
I agree that lying politicians get what they deserve.
However, think about the deeper question of why they should even HAVE to resort to the shame-filled secret gay sex at all. That's very sad that we've created a culture where anyone, even the eeeeeeeeevil conservatives, should have to live like that.
Honestly? No. There's nothing wrong with them, but I don't particularly find them attractive. To be fair though, I have an active dislike for the accents of many Britons, harder to understand many Brits than just about any other people speaking English.

The protocols and technologies that were used to build the internet were mostly (but not exclusively) developed in the United States, however the World Wide Web (e.g. the internet as we know it today) was far more international, being owed in large part to CERN rather than ARPA (as Arpanet, the precursor to the internet was).
Can't stand it personally.

Also, don't kid yourselves people. The best music comes from England.
And if you're sick, your employer has to pay you your full salary for up to six weeks. After that, you get money from your insurance (which everyone has). That's at least how it is where I live.
