    If the U.S can't stand North Korean's nuclear weapons, then the U.S. can abandon their's first. Nuclear weapons can destroy earth. No country should have it at all. U.S needs to negotiate a PEACE treaty with North Korea! An alliance can help that much, if not, Why is worth it?

    I wish the soundtrack were more interesting. I loved the book and the movie was well done, too.

    i don't know about you guys, but i feel U.S Olympic figure skaters are the most articulate well mannered athletes

    That’s coz they speak English lol. Other skaters are articulate in their own language

    I wouldn't generalize them all in that way, but Nathan certainly is. He's a very polite, professional, well-mannered, intelligent, kind, and humble human being. It is a very individualized thing, IMO.

    Just a question...What exactly did he do wrong in the jump series at 2:43 ? I noticed that he got a red in the bars at 2:50 following the sequence, but I couldn't see what was wrong/worthy of a deduction. Does anyone happen to know?
