There are a few interesting things on television tonight including the series premier of Turn, the season premier of Game of Thrones and let's not forget Wrestle Mania. What's got your rating tonight? For me it's Turn, love the revolutionary war period.

From what i have witnessed with my own eyes, i have to say yes it is. I've been to London, Amsterdam, Lagos (my home) and Melbourne, as well as all over this country. No where else in the world have i seen so many different people in one country. Hell, in my University, there are over 150 different countries represented by students, and my school is just a local University that few outside the area probably ever heard of. When i go home, i get overwhelmed by just how similar everyone is. it's 99% black there. In those other cities, there are definite pockets of different ethnicities, but that only accounts for the major cities and surrounding urban areas. In the US, you meet people from all over the world just about every where you go, not just in NY, LA or other mega cities.

Hate to break it to you but beats are terrible overpriced fashion wear. I use AKG headphones. i have three of their headphones at varying prices and none have ever gone wrong. The only down side is they're expensive, the cheapest one i own were $140 so they may not be in your desired price range

@the_bi99man: I am truly sorry to hear that. Pick one up one of these days.

I'm writing my novel right now. does that count?

7/10 for CountBleck. Dont know what it is but i don't mind anime. Mine is Zodiark Keeper of the Precepts from Final Fantasy XII. If you played the game, you should know about this ridiculously powerful Esper. If you didnt, give me a ten just because Zodiark is a "fish" with wings and a serious badass

I listen to almost everything but my favorite genre is soundtracks. Music from movies, tv, and video games are what i listen to predominately. It's the reason i'm so interested in music and sound from an engineering stand point, and why i've spend a ridiculous amount of money on "sound"

Final Fantasy XII. it's one of my favorite games of all time. I did everything in that game and if/when they release a HD remake, i'm going to buy it and do everything in it again.

It wasn't that the US would not export oil to Japan, it was that Japan did not have enough oil to keep their war effort in China going. They were going to run out of oil within a few months and the US controlled much of the oil rich resources in the pacific. Instead of buying all that oil, they decided to cripple the US's pacific fleet, thus giving them free reign over the pacific. they would no longer have to worry about the US, they would control vital oil resources, they could also expand their empire into previously controlled US islands, and finally they would be able to continue their war effort past China. They attacked the US for several "good" reasons. it was a calculated risk that ended up costing them big.

Also it wasint that the US was not ready for war, it was that the people of the nation did not want it. The US people was had extreme insolationalist views during the late 30's and early 40's. most Americans at that time only cared about the US people and US problems, everyone else was basically on their own planet. The US government wanted to declare war on Germany, but could not do so without the people's support. Only after Pearl Harbor did they have that support. The US government however did not want to go to war with Japan, only Germany. They were in serious peace talks with Japan to stay out of their war with China, that's why Pearl Harbor hurt us so much, becasue we really thought Japan wanted peace. When we went to war with Japan, Germany inevitably followed

@V3rciS: I'm not sure that's correct. The US was secretly sending supplies to the Britain during the war. They knew that if Britain fell, Germany would control Europe, so the US government sent aid to Britain which kept them alive. Only after the US declared war did Germany start sending all their ships to the deep. Germany did not want to start a war with the US, plus they did not yet hold a full blockade on Britain. The US did not want war until Pearl Harbor. they declared war on Japan and Germany declared war on the US.
