The New York Times on Hypocrisy of US IP Policies

jwinterboy writes " The New York Times has an article (free blah di blah) criticizing the intellectual property framework that the U.S. places on developing countries, given that it was a large pirate of intellectual property during it's own industrialization. "

Hi, you are a fucking idiot.

Arguing on Slashdot is like winning the special olympics. Even when you win, you're still a retard.

From what I've read and seen in the world press most of the world wants the US to mind their own business.

From what I've read in the press there are bat people in California, Elvis is alive and living well in Idaho, and the pyramids were built be aliens. What's your point?

Well here's some news live from the UK - we do want you to mind your own business - and if your media weren't all being "steered" by your govt, you'd know that, since evey other country has been screaming it at the US for several years now. You think the "axis of evil" just decided to attack the US for no reason? Could it be more obvious?

Now no-one is condoning what happened on 9/11 (at least not the non-arab nations, and maybe China, Japan and some parts of Russia, and Palestine) but retaliation, such as that was not completely unexpected given the US' behaviour across the World.
