Beijing's New Enforcer - Microsoft
QuatermassX writes "The New York Times editorial page comments on the responsibilities of American technology companies doing business in China. From the article: 'Such obvious disregard for users' privacy and ethical standards may make it easier to do business in China, but it also aids a repressive regime. Some in the American Congress are talking about holding hearings. Microsoft has responded to criticism by saying, 'We think it's better to be there with our services than not be there.' This is a false choice. China needs Internet companies as much as they need China.'"

Hoist Number One and Number Six.
Care to back that statement up, neocon? As far as I know, they've claimed to develop a peaceful, civil nuclear program to generate power.
The idea of your post was good. He clearly is wrong in asserting Iran has claimed to be developing nuclear weapons. However, your compeltely over the top hostile attitude and inane labeling in order to prove your point is just poor form. However, I will grant that it is fun to use ridiculously generalized ad hominem attacks on people you disagree with, you pot-smoking hippy.
I only called him by his nick name (read his entire post). I thought it was funny. Now you spoiled the joke, because I had to explain it.
Free Manning, jail Obama.
Yea, I definitely did not notice it was his name... haha... you win.
