Bragador writes "A U.S. comic book collector is being sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to importing and possessing Japanese manga books depicting illustrations of child sex and bestiality.

Though child porn drawings leave me uneasy, should Americans accept or oppose a law like this?"

China attacks US-Taiwan arms deal -> 0

Submitted by Bragador on Tuesday February 02 2010, @04:28PM

Bragador writes "China has threatened to impose sanctions on the United-States in retaliation to their $6.4 billion arms deal with the Republic of China (Not to be confused with the People's Republic of China).
Beijing said Washington faced "serious repercussions" if it does not withdraw from the deal to provide the Republic of China with missiles, helicopters and military equipment.

Since it appears that the USA are empowering the Republic of China as the People's Republic of China is trying to peacefully assimilate what is allegedly part of its territory, might this lead to another cold war?

The worst song ever created by science-> 4

Submitted by Bragador on Sunday May 04 2008, @12:36PM

Bragador writes "The unthinkable has been done. Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier, with the help of an online poll conducted in the '90s regarding the musical tastes of listeners, used their evil brains to bring into existence the allegedly most annoying song ever created in the universe. This piece of art was specifically engineered to displease a maximum of listeners without simply using dissonance and random noises. By also using the same statistical analysis, they allegedly created the most appreciated song that could ever be brought forth from the human psyche."
