AT&T Blocks Part of 4chan
holdenkarau writes "Several news sources (Mashable, The Inquistr, etc.) are reporting that AT&T is blocking img.4chan.org in the southern United States. That server is used for the infamous /b/ board (the home of anonymous). TechCrunch calls the decision to block 4chan 'stupid,' noting that they may have 'opened perhaps the most vindictive, messy can of worms.' The Inquisitr suggests that 'The global internet censorship debate landed in the home of the free.' moot (who runs 4chan) asks users to call AT&T, while some others suggest more drastic action (like cutting AT&T fiber)." Update: 07/27 09:23 GMT by T : Readers' comments below suggest that a) the purpose of the block was to curtail the effects of a serious DDoS attack and b) that the block has now been lifted, at least for some regions.
You do if the girl had a history of claiming she was "raped" for several years despite the fact that hundreds of security cameras caught her on camera getting drunk, attacking guys in the alleyway and raping them every single time.
And the legal system simply never did anything about it because the courts are too scared to deal with rape cases.
You don't haul a girl off to jail if she was raped do you?
Are we talking about the world in general? Or about the shithole known as the Middle East?
If you're talking about the shithole, then yes, you haul the filthy little whore off to jail because she was asking for it.
C'mon, don't you love finding somthing behind another's back and selling it at full value despite having paid nothing for it? Or how about how foreigners aren't allowed to die for a landing here, yet a US'ian is allowed to die for America and not branded as a foreigner to the nations among Turtle Island?
Indians already here didn't boast an interest other than mere tenancy under the "great Spirit." When the political refugees arrived from euro-trashland, then it got dicy with the land patents. When that failed, they took their land patents and vested it to the tenancy of a sucessor (1775) called the united States of America which then rolled into another (A. Lincoln 1861) called the United States.
Somehow, the United States has been nothing but a Real Estate fraud, constantly pumping and dumping title deeds and then preventing the heirs from attain the land patent in common law.
Land of the free is right. The United States makes everyone pay for the tenancy many times over, compels and induces the fraud of tenancy and property taxes, then lets the next generation pay again and prevents the heir from inheriting under the guise of subsistency in services coercively rendered despite noncompetitive and obsolete.
Land of the free is right. The United States gets everything for free. For once, I would like to be worth a value that the United States can't afford to buy or rent from me, yet the United States determines on its own in all of its swarms of officers the default value for which it might progress my property from my hands.
Land of the free is right. The United States doesn't need to assure that its paper currency is redeemable, holds any value, or has anybody working for its collection.
Land of the free is right. The United States isolated the brave into debtor prisons, and forced the Brave onto Indian Reservations of the worst quality of land and continue to harass even them in their own isolation and jurisdiction despite the United States unable to maintain said jurisprudence for anything other than tax purposes.
Land of the free is right...
If her victim is aroused, is it rape? If a man rapes a woman and she has an orgasm in the process, is it rape?
Gimme a funnel, some handcuffs, 5 liters of hard liquor and a few hours and by your logic I can have sex with anyone I want and it won't count as rape.
I can't help feeling that the people who keep propangandising for the right to anonymity in everything they do, have reasons to be ashamed of themselves.
Maybe we are ashamed of our government's laws. If we can't legalize marijuana (since the drug war is a wasteful failure) we can campaign for the right to privacy instead. Anonymity helps criminals but not all criminals are "bad guys." Anne Frank was a criminal once, for being a jew. Think of what the right to privacy could have done for her.
