The New York Times on Hypocrisy of US IP Policies

    I would expect nothing less from such an uber-leftist organization that likes to sell my information to third parties.

  2. Pedants again by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    A pedant's nagging is a nice example of classical neurotic behavior. Neurotic people have internal conflict that causes them to be upset all the time. Being in a state of conflict they look for causes of this conflict in the world around them. But since the conflict is from an internal malfunction they do not find it in the outside world. So, they just keep looking for things in the world they can blame for their unhappiness. The pedant is special because his internal conflict is so great that he is reduced to finding fault with the most trivial aspects of the people around him. You might call pedants the bottom feeders of neurotic behavior.

    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.
