Chatroulette To Log IP Addresses, Take Screenshots

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the price-of-fame dept.

littlekorea writes "Chatroulette, the strangely addictive online game in which users are connected via webcam and microphone to random strangers at the click of a button, has had enough of users exposing themselves to the unsuspecting public, among other disgraces. The founder of Chatroulette has announced the company has hired developers to collect IP addresses and take screenshots of those users breaking the rules."

    Of course you are correct. The president can not be expected to ever stand up and do what is right. He must always bow to opinion polls and get re-elected because that is what we send a president to do.

    Or. You can count your anonymous self as one of those democrat fanboys and STFU.

    So...

    1) You tell me EXACTLY what George W. Bush did in response to the USS Cole which occurred (October 2000) at the tail-end of Clinton's term. The final report fingering the perpetrators was released in JANUARY 2001

    2) "Do-nothing stance with regards to the 1993 WTC incident?" I would be happy to take:
    [a] Captured those responsible
    [b] kept foreign terrorism out for the remainder of term

    3) Google this phrase: "...FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings"

    [But don't worry, you're an apologist so you don't have to think just hear what you want to hear.]

    Number of my countrymen to be killed or wounded while Clinton nailed a fat secretary: 0. Number of my countrymen to be killed or wounded from the two wars started and unfinished during Bush's administration: 5,589 [washingtonpost.com] and rising.

    Don't forget the Afghani and Iraqi civilians that were killed, either. For Iraq, Iraq Body Count currently gives a figure of around 100,000, and that's only those that are directly attributable.

    There's the Lancet studies, too, which estimated the number of civilians killed in Iraq as a result of the invasion as ~650,000 in 2006 already. Extrapolate from there, and I'd bet it's more than a million now.

    And that's just Iraq: we haven't said a single word about Afghanistan yet.

    All this only serves to further strengthen your point, of course, but I felt it was important to point it out. ~5000 American soldiers having died is bad, yes. Millions of foreign civilians having died is even worse.

    That's the kind of president we had for 8 years.
