The first five proposed venues for the World Cup were unveiled at the beginning of March 2010. The stadiums will employ cooling technology capable of reducing temperatures within the stadium by up to 20 °C (68 °F), and the upper tiers of the stadiums will be disassembled after the World Cup and donated to countries with less developed sports infrastructure.[15] All of the five stadium projects launched have been designed by German architect Albert Speer & Partners.

(He's the son of Hitler's favorite architect.

Yep.  Time to send Charles Barkley.  Might as well get that war started now.

  Get Rick Mahorn out of retirement, and let's get it on, '76ers style.

Fuck, lets put the entire dream team back together. Even Christian Laetner, he could be used to clear mines or something.

Okay, that's surprisingly good.

Now, see this is a good idea.

Ah - here we go:

North Korea had many times said it was nullifying the Korean War Armistice that stopped, but did not officially end, the three-year war.

But did they ever officially end the armistice?  Everything I see indicates the armistice is still in place.

Is there a reason, other than a possible negative PRChina response--though at this point they seem really embarrassed by and unconcerned with the fate of their former ally--that the RoK doesn't just attack the DPRK?  Would they not win?  Are the armed forces of the DPRK not complete garbage by this point?  If I were a North Korean, I'd spit in the face of a RoKker on that day in the far future when peaceful reunification takes place, assuming I survived to see it, for letting millions of their countrymen languish in a prison country for FUCKING DECADES.

It's like if Canada turned into a totalitarian country and we did practically nothing about it for several generations.

seoul.

It's 50 mi from the border.  It's also targeted by all kinds of conventional rockets, and widely assumed that it would be utterly vaporized in the case of serious hostilities.

Plus, South Korea doesn't spend a ton on its armed forces, while North Korea has a two million man army.

It takes a lot to burn a city to the ground.  Besides, surely they have bunkers and evacuation plans?  Who puts their capital next to a DMZ without bunkers and evacuation plans?
