An "event" I would welcome.

I know it's a silly thought, but I think a major event like an asteroid or a comet would in moderation and at the right time do some good for this world. On the whole.

I would probably pick:

- alien invasion (not so much invasion as a mass-arrival)
- asteroid (aimed of course at a particular angle and um.. place).. not mine lol

What are your favourite major (not quite extinction-level) events that you are looking forward to, and why?

Look-alikes

OK. Simply find someone who looks like someone else. Easy. Here is my first one:

Beavis from Beavis and butthead:




The man is Jerry Yang, an American entrepreneur and the Co-founder, CEO and Chief Yahoo! of Yahoo! Inc.

Strangely, Beavis is chinese. lol

Dictatorships calling themselves Democratic

Politics is probably one of my weakest topics, so I would like for someone to explain to me why tyrannical dictatorships like the Socialist/ Communist North Korea often call themselves Something Rather Democratic Party etc.? Is it a cruel joke on the people? What is the purpose, and how does it help them keep control of the populace?

CUte little thing

What is this cute little thing? (I know the answer, but just want you to guess).

Peace

Shakespeare wrote "Peace. I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee."

I know this is a vague topic, but I have been thinking on it, and have reached the conclusion that there will never be peace among humanity. I further conclude that no peace is possible in any species, be it extraterrestrials or other animals here on Earth.

There is hatred stemming from little reason. That is because we do not need to reason out something that comes naturally.

I hate the Jehova's Witnesses that knock at my door and ask 'Do you think there will ever be peace?', expecting me to at least say 'I hope so'. For I do not hope so. There will never be peace until those that are a nuisance to me lie rotting on the ground (or I am dead). Terrorists that call themselves 'freedom fighters' will never see myself as embracing their so-called ideology. But an ideology is only a matter of perspective. It is because of this perspective that there is no middle ground, and never will be.

It saddens me to see this as a progress of logical thought, for I hate war, and I hate death. I know there is no afterlife (please don't disagree with this, for it is not the topic of this post. I know what some people think and try to respect it).

Logic points to me that this thought process can be called a 'warmonger'. But a warmonger ignores reasons why they want war. I do not want war. I think the army is a bunch of hired killers, for that is what they are. I do not mean this as an insult.

OK, I am losing the line of logic, so I'll stop here. Please note that this is not a topic about terrorism.
