GIA to use P2P to Avoid Litigaton

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the serious-uses-for-p2p dept.

DrMorpheus writes "With the recent demise of the Bush administration's controversial Terrorist Information Awareness (TIA) programme to monitor everyone in the US, citizens now have a chance to get their own back. A website to be launched later in 2003 will allow people to post information about the activities of government organisations, officials and the judiciary. The two MIT researchers behind the project face one serious problem: how to protect themselves against legal action should any of the postings prove false. The answer, they say, is to borrow a technique from the underground music-swapping community. Instead of storing the data in one place, they plan to distribute it around the internet in a similar way to the notorious Napster software that got music file-sharing under way."

    Defeat the GNAA! Join Landover Baptist Church's very own B.A.S.H. (Baptists Are Saving Homosexuals) Ministry!

    While we at BASH are yet unable to cure niggerism (or any other such God-inflicted curse of skin pigmentation), we have had record success turning limp-wristed, "Queer Eye" watching nancy-boys and bull-dyke lesbians back in to straight, God-fearing, Republican-voting human beings!

    All we need is your pious financial support, plenty of imprecatory prayer and a good-sized, Leviticus-charged stone or two, and soon the GNAA will be a thing of the past!

    To join, go here and read all about how you can start saving gay Negroes from Satan's clutches!

    This post was brought to you by a Landover Baptist Church Member.

    If you or anyone you know exhibits these signs they may be a homosexual and at risk of joining Satan's Army, or the GNAA.

    What should I do about it? My boss with the boobs (Bryanna) has called me into her office in less than five minutes. If I walk in there with this tent pole I don't know what's going to happen! It doesn't help that I'm hung like a hoarse. I've tried several approaches in the past but they've all failed. Whenever I beat off in my cubicle someone almost always finds out. One more time and I'm out the door. I've also tried beating it down with a hammer, but all that does is make it harder and even more blue than usual. But I can't help it. Just the presence of Bryanna in this office makes me horny and I haven't "gotten any" in about 7 yeras. And even that time was with my pet dog Rover. So I don't know what to do. I'm sure you've all been in the same predicament. What do you do to resolve it?
