I agree. I was recently in Pusan, Gimpo and Incheon and South Korea is a economically stable nation. The chance of both Koreas uniting is highly unlikely. If war breaks out between you two neighbours (and god lets hope for the world economies sake it doesnt) that effectively denies the two being united. The war will create so much hatred between each other that for south korea to prop up north korea recovery if the south win and annex the north would be impossible. Asking SK citizens to help a nation that has just nuked a major city and killed thousands of civilians there is no chance. With the new leader about to take over when Kim dies, we could find out sooner than later.

With populations getting bigger and the world turning into living hell within the next decade or so, legalising suicide will probably be done. In europe and especially in the UK, Abortion is on the rise and its opposition is weakening as we progress into a more material century. It only make sense if the government allows people to make the choice if they are in pain or are terminal. Doctors would argue, that it breaks that promise about helping people but in the end it is the persons right to choose when he or she lives and dies. how it would be done is another question?

But russia under putin is growing stronger. They control all the gas to europe, and cut it off at a moments notice. europe is dependant on it. A few years back when Bush said hed build a missle defense system in poland, putin said hed build a missle offense system in turn. then youve got the invasion of south ossetia on the opening day of the olympics which the world did nothing about. and that crash with the polish president and his military leaders, too much of a coincidence. If the world goes into WW3 from a korean war or a nuclear exchange in the middle east, russia might just take the offensive but on whos side i do not know.

Currently, the xbox has a bigger range of games that are popular. paying for live is not a downer since you get decent servers and no glitches. PS3 doesnt have as many games that are big, but its future does look promising.
