And the U.S. owes billions of dollars to China, thus is subservient to China, and thus is evil. China has been a buddy of the U.S. since Nixon's time (when he appointed Bush Sr. as the ambassador), and has always gone along with the Chinese government, while giving lip service to human rights (which are growing to be just as abused here in the U.S.). So, once again, the U.S. is plumbing the depths of evil all for monetary gain, is the most evil, and should never have been born. And every major provider and search engine in the U.S., along with the U.S. Military, Government run major media, schools, local governments, etc., etc., censors the web in the U.S., so best they were never born. Until something realistic is done in the U.S., or any other country, to raise their own human rights standards so they have the ability to take a real stand on such an issue without becoming the fool, then there's no way in hell you're gonna convince a corporation to follow suit. And whining about it in Slashdot won't get this done.
This is pretty much completely off topic, I lied.
However, if you search google for "naruto dattebayo" (no quotes in actual query), http://yhbt.mine.nu/t/ has been removed as a top result.
I love google just as much as anyone else, but it looks like they caved here, and I can only wonder how often it happens and I just don't notice.
I use google so often, I actually had to open yahoo and search with "naruto dattebayo" to find the link I was looking for...
At any rate, mod me off topic if you want... Yahoo's banning of googles payment system and my moments ago experience seemed strange enough to post about.
