  1. Has anyone tried to mirror the content yet? by leereyno · · Score: 2, Troll

    To me the best way to respond to this kind of bullshit is to mirror the content as far and wide as possible, and advertise the existance of the mirrors. Let the pope put that in his corn cob pipe and smoke it!

    The reason people say this a lot is because, of all the nationalities in the world, it's the Americans who tend to think that the world should be doing things their way, and that everyone else is just backwards.

    This is crap. People EVERYWHERE think their way is the best way, ESPECIALLY Europeans! At least America tends to save it's sharpest condemnations for the most outrageous offenders--China, North Korea, Iraq--while accepting that Europe is for the most part a decent place, human rights wise. Sure, we'd like to see more free speech, but we don't make anywhere near as much noise as Europeans do over, say, American capital punishment.

    It's also worth mentioning that the countries we scream loudest at tend to be non-democratic --therefore they cannot claim it is the will of the people they rule that human rights violations continue.
