U.S. Goverment Responds to EFF's Indymedia Motion
bergwitz writes "In a response to EFF's motion to unseal, the U.S. government claims that Indymedia hard drives were seized as part of an international "criminal terrorism investigation," and thus the U.S. District Court's gag order should be upheld." This will help refresh your memory.
At least they didn't cite god's will as the reason. ;)
Linux banned as terrorist OS
You're viewing this all wrong. Those leftie news people are terrorists. They are questioning the One True Government. Attempting to report anything negative about the current government and/or administration undermines the authority of the government, and makes it harder to protect you from terrorists. If the government didn't clamp down on these people many True Americans might die, and the terrorists would have won.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Laziness is the father.
...you should have said earlier.
Everyone back to their business.
I object to the term 'tinfoil elitist'. When I wear my hat, it is made of only the most generic proletariat foil.
They might as well have responded with a "cuz".
Appear to be confused about this statement, claiming that it had to do with terrorism. No, it had to do with criminal terrorism. Other sorts of terrorism (as demonstrated by John Ashcroft's singing) are entirely legal. Please, please keep the distinction in your minds. Criminal terrorists are Bad. Legal terrorists are Good.

We don't need to become less free to be safe. We're already much safer from terrorism than we are from getting eaten by sharks, so "safe" is not an issue.
Which is exactly why I am declaring the War on Sharks. This world cannot tolerate one more senseless death to shark attack. We cannot sit back and wait for the sharks to attack us. We must go on the offensive and attack the sharks. Every shark that we kill in the Altantic Ocean is a shark that cannot attack us in New York City. Let me mako this very clear: Either you are with us, or you are with the sharks.
"If we supported Saddam killing the kurds, we would have NOT started the first gulf war."
Really? That's funny. I thought we launched Desert Shield/Storm because Saddam invaded Kuwait. Up until that point we really didn't give a rat's ass what Saddam did as long as he was Iran's enemy. Rummy sure was chummy with him.
But what do I know, I only fought in that war.
"God damn it! I'm surrounded by F-ing morrons on slashdot"
Yep, that must be it. Everyone else is a moron. Reality-based morons. Must be rough being you. Hey, did you know that there were no WMD in Iraq when we started this latest war?
What colour alert level is the US on this week?p ?application=firefox&id=352&vid=1084, you wouldn't need to ask that question.

Before you start your aquatic invasion, you might want to consider that you are more likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark. If you do start the War on Vending, can I be your Haliburton and take all the caffienated drinks that spill from your fallen prey?
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
we want free speech beacuse free speech is good and free speach enables us to write messages to forums sucha as slashdot without free speech we would not be able to. If you dont like that. that is your problem. but some people might not need free speach beacaause theyve learned how to write without proper puctations or grammar. then the feds cant find them anyways cause without prper punctatons and grammar noone is able to read the message and it is hard to prosecute for messages that are incomprehensible. without first decoding them. it further helps having a broken shift key. without a functioning shift key the message is even harder to read and in this case. it is good. if people only learned to whrite in this fashion no one would find them selves deserving of arrest anyway. yay. im starting to like riting this way no capitals no grammar and disfunctional punctation sure makes it easy writing large blocks of text ill tell yall. over and out.

so then hypothetically , if I actively believe you to be a foolish, easily-taken-advantage-of ass, does that mean it's only true if I keep it a secret?
I forget, are we at war with Eurasia or Eastasia?
Does it matter ? You can trust Americans not to find either on a map.
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
Not only do you have to worry about sharks, but you have to worry about sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads...
Will someone please think of the children???
Eurasia. Eastasia has too many "nucular" weapons already.
