Yeah. I don't even understand most of what I was reading about the subjects he taught and wrote books on.

Here's another article I found on him...

many topics on this....a well known lifestyle that most asains do live up to.

few random pages.. saying it's the parents rules of grades that helped/forced them to do well in school.

I've never been a huge fan of Tim Kaine, but I will say he gave one of the better speeches I've heard in a while, even with all the religious references...

from ABC.com
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3048108
Sources tell ABC News Cho bought his first gun, a Glock 9 millimeter handgun, on March 13; they say he bought his second weapon, a Walther .22 caliber pistol, within the last week. The serial numbers on both guns had been filed off, they said.

Authorities found the receipt for the 9 millimeter handgun in Cho's backpack. They say the bag also contained two knives and additional ammunition for the two guns.

Legal permanent resident aliens may purchase firearms in the state of Virginia. A resident alien must, however, provide additional identification to prove he or she is a resident of the state.

Why would he file off the serial numbers but hang on to the receipts? I'm sure he couldn't have planned to get away alive.

well, if you want to believe Jack Thompson or Dr. Phil, then video games are responsible for the shootings. http://www.gamestooge.com/2007/04/16...ech-shootings/

...because nobody has ever been killed before the advent of games *ahem*

I can't stand it when people use tragedy to try and further their own [political] agenda.
