China Invents Solid Water

For me it's not Communism that I dislike, it's the fact that free speech is suppressed in China. If the gubment was Commy and people could speak freely, then I say no problem. But when a man or woman cannot speak and write in criticism of anything they wish, then that's wrong, and that government is wrong.

"But, it's a title they claimed, and the Americanpublic has been subject to Anti Communism propaganda for so long... it's a sort of brain washing..."
which is funny.. because that is what we claim china does. (which they do.)
the funny part is that the american's are better at it. we have free speech. we have freedom of the press. but we are still pack animals.
individualism, in its true form, isn't popular here in america. we like to feign individualism a lot... but we are more content "going with the flow."
which is why it is more effective brainwashing. we actually believe what we do is of our own volition... but it isn't. it is exactly what the media, gov't, popular celebrities tell us to think. it's pathetic.
(disclaimer: there are the exceptions. but there are the exceptions in china too)
What comes first, finding a teacher or becoming a student?
AGREED!
It also makes it irritating to get straight back to the front page, no single click way of doing it that I can see.

You are as confused as you are deluded.

Huh? Slashdot always remembers my login cookie. What difference does the URL make? Sheesh. I'd say your browser/proxy configuration is messed up.
If you want a quick way of getting back to the main page, just click that huge "slashdot" logo at the top of every page (or just use the "back" function of your browser).
Yes, but the point is that this is something I shouldn't have to do because it's getting round a feature which isn't any use anyway and isn't something newbies will think of.
Just because I can get round a problem doesn't mean the problem ceases to be.

Your problem is non-existent for me. I just tried both IE 6 and Mozilla RC3 under Win2k and both remembered my login settings just fine under all sections (and all I did was log into the main Slashdot page once).
Once again, I think it's a configuration problem on your end. If most people were having this problem, I'm sure it'd show up in the comments with more frequency.
Apparantly, it is a problem. Read the FAQ. If you still want to complain, email Taco or something.
The western world is full of complaisant people like you who don't get it.
The umpire has to call the ball now. You're obviously an IDIOT.
Compliant like me? How compliant do you think I am? If people get locked up for speaking what do you think I'm going to do? Duck and cover?
No, fool. I'll be protecting YOUR ass and your right to speak.
I get it CLEARLY. The right to speak ultimately is secured by the people, and must be actively retained by the people. But that's not the situation right now. The original complainant was whining like a baby because nobody was listening to him. He wasn't locked up, he wasn't killed. He spoke, and everyone ignored him.
No problem with freedom of speech in his case.
