Internet Blackout in Myanmar Stalls Citizen Report
StonyandCher writes "The government in Myanmar has reportedly cut off Internet access in the troubled country.
The loss of Internet access in Myanmar has slowed the tide of photos and videos shared with the rest of the world but people outside of the troubled country continue to use new media sites and other technologies to protest military activity in the Southeast Asia country."
"And african money is like toilet paper with shit on it."
Where's the US Army now? Come on! There's a troubled country that needs to be freed! Come on, there's repression, censorship, people are getting killed! You HAVE to free them, you need to restore peace! Just like you did with Iraq. What's that? Myanmar doesn't have oil like Iraq? What does it have to do with it? You didn't go to Iraq because of the oil, did you? You didn't attack Iraq for revenge for the 9/11, did you?
Those bastards and their managed economies. Don't they know that innocent people are suffering? They should just do as the Monks are asking, abandon their responsibilities to their society, give up, and let the market manage itself.
Sure, lots of people will die in the short term, but that's just the free market correcting itself. Once that short term correction is over, I'm sure those that are left will all be rich and free and life will be wonderful.
Yeah, those monks come from the most caste driven culture in the world, where someone born in the lowest castes are forced to remain there forever, and it's true, they don't have the slightest clue how to manage a population that has grown beyond what a primitive, tribal level of technology can sustain, but come on, they're pacifists opposing communism! They must be good guys! Fox News told me so!
-1 Uncomfortable Truth
According to one article i read, owning a gps device is a pretty much a shoot on sight offense. How the hell do you think peopel in this kind of government are going to "lobby" it for ham radio rights? Heck, its shoot on sight for technology that they cant control. I am sick of people like you who see something horrible in the news and then recast it to fit your your own pathetic acitivism. If youre biggest concern is "selling off RF rights" then you've lead an incredibly pampered life and have nothing in common with the people of Burma and what is going on. Youre like a rich guy saying 'this ethnic cleansing is as bad as that caviar from last night.'
off course.... for USA, there are bad evil and good evil....what a joke!!! why are the countries policy so hypocrit? usa, EU my country Portugal, but USA is the most hypocrit of all, they don't care about they're own citizens they just care about money, wars oil, all for the richest of a small few.
