Diebold Chases Links To Leaked Memos
bllfrnch writes "Mary Hodder, over at The Berkeley School of Journalism's bIPlog, reports that electronic voting bigwig Diebold has begun sending cease-and-desist letters to universities whose students are linking to hijacked internal company memos that elucidate the company's level of respect for citizens' right to vote. Particularly shocking is the line: "If voting could really change things, it would be illegal.""
News flash. Everyone screws everyone. It could also be argued that Russia, France, etc, are to blame, after all they sold weapons which were used during the Iran/Iraq conflict too. Also, no one was holding a gun to Saddam's head saying that he had to invade Kuwait; Saddam could have just not invaded Kuwait and the nation never would have been bombed. How would you have handled the Iraq invasion? Would you have handled it like other UN "successes", like Rwanda or like Srebrenica? I swear, the UN General Assembly seems to have less balls than a eunuch convention.
Marxism is the opiate of dumbasses
Also the "threatened his neighbours on a regular basis" part is incorrect. Iran's case is not open and shut and there is great enmity between Arabs and Iranians. Kuwait is a special case and it is very well documented that Saddam Hussein was, in fact, set up by Bush I to attack Kuweit so that there could be a pretext for the economic (and actual) annihilation of Iraq.
Sleep safe, Zachary Kessin, for you now sleep in a world ruled by an unelected idiot who does not even care for a pretext when attacking a sovereign country, no matter who rules it. Be a sheep, give up your brain so you don't have to fight for whatever "justice" passes for nowadays.
Mother is the best bet and don't let Satan draw you too fast.
People in Iraq actually voted for Hussein. Contrary to Bush, he actually got the majority of the votes.
Well, it wouldn't have changed a lot. He owned justice in Iraq just as well as Bush ownz it in the USA...
Good journalism is in part good history and anthropology.

It's incredibly relevent

No, its not relevant. After a while it becomes a defacto peace - a country can't just use it for ever after as an excuse to invade another country. If it does it will receive the condemnation of the world society for being a rouge nation.
The way many people make it out to be is that the US decided to attack some peace-loving nation of people that 'Love' their leadership.
I find it hard to believe anyone would say that. Of course i don't know what kind of company you keep
If you want to ignore facts,
No thanks, we'll leave that to you people.
We should ignore how the facts that countries that have invoked gun ban laws experiencing a marked increase in the violent crime, burglaries and other such villanious acts.
I'm glad you started by saying you were going to ignore the facts.
Tell me, what else should we ignore?
You?
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
Hey, moron -- we don't live in a democracy. We live in a democratic republic. Do you even know the difference?
Hey are you going to get upset if Diebold fires the guy, because they didn't let him exercise his First Amendment rights?
Like I said, you people only care because Diebold made you angry. If Diebold was making you happy, you'd be laughing. Hypocrisy at its finest!
Scoff.
