Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-have-another-task-for-you dept.

Kallahar writes "New Scientist is running a story about a Canadian university who had students break an encrypted message in order to get into college. A good idea to grab a good student, but here in 'Free' America these kids would have been thrown in jail for violating the DMCA ..."

    Terrorists have attacked again. The White House, the Capitol Building, and the United Nations building are in ruins. Reports of further attacks in Chicago and Los Angeles are unconfirmed. President Bush and Vice President Cheney are believed dead in the White House destruction and Dennis Hastert has claimed the presidency. Nuclear strikes have been launched by the United States military against the Phillipines and Iraq. Martial law has been declared and mass media have agreed under force to continue normal programming. News web sites including Slashdot have agreed to use their moderation system to silence anyone discussing the attacks. Yahoo.com refused to abide by the decision and was shut down by the military. (Try to visit them if you need proof.) Know the truth! Do not be silenced in the crisis!

    You raise a salient point here, as you have before in this forum. I have noticed, though, that you neglect the greatest menace of them all:

    The Yellow Menace.

    That's right, asiatics are crawling over the earth like bacteria in a petri dish. Multiplying at astonishing rates, their progress into the whiter portions of the world is accelerating. This is something that must be stopped, lest their godless ways and tiny thin eyes cover the globe.

    I agree that there are other races who pose a threat, but the most of them are either poor or limited in number. Our yellow inferiors, however, have used their hive-minded conformity to dominate half of the world, like fireants in Texas.

    I ask for your help, Ralph JewHater Nader, in spreading the word.

    The statistics show that poor people don't go to college as much as rich people. It shows nothing about the reasons why, whether it's social enviroment, affordability, or university discrimination. All it shows is that if you're poor, odds are better that you won't have gone to college than if you're rich. The parent post is correct.
