Captain America vs. The Patriot Act?

Nerd_52637 writes "Yesterday, Marvel Comics released the first in its miniseries Civil War, which can only be described as a gutsy comic-book series focusing on the whole debate over homeland security and tighter government controls in the name of public safety. The seven-issue series once again puts superheroes right back in the thick of real-world news, just as DC Comics has Batman battling al-Qaeda in a soon-to-appear comic and Marvel's X-Men continue to explore themes of public intolerance and discrimination. In Civil War, hero is pitted against hero in the choice of whether or not to side with the government, as issues ranging from a Guantanamo-like prison camp for superheroes, embedded reporters and the power of media all play in the mix as Superheroes are ordered to register as human WMDs or be branded fugitives."

Mod parent down. Link contains referral. If he has a point to make, he needs to make it without including an advertisement.

I've a browser extension that automatically creates a referrer link when the cite tag is used. So, whenever I mention a media item in a post, a referral link is then applied. I am not spamming Slashdot, since my posts are first thought out before a referrer tag even comes into the picture. Check my posting history and you'll see that I've made plenty of posts without referral links. It is only when it is necessary to cite a publication that referral links even come into the picture.

Honestly, it's fucking pathetic that you're trying to make money by spamming Slashdot with referral links.

There's nothing pathetic about making a little money (more than a little actually, at Slashdot referral links fetch up to $100/day tax-free for some) for posting well-written and insightful commentary. My karma is "Excellent", obviously most people here find value in what I say.
