    Social security?

    You mean like welfare, that students can claim in the form of "student discounts". no one who works for a living gets discounts.

    The thing that pisses me off is that students think they are entitled to my tax dollars.

    Here in Australia most students are just lazy money grabbers who believe they are entitled to everything, when I was at Uni people used to complain about lectures starting a 8am I was tempted to yell "TRY GETTING A JOB YOU FUCKING LAZY CUNTS!".

    Honestly all university consists of is sitting in cafe's, showing each other stupid videos on youtube and going to parties every night of the week. (I never got invited to parties because im not a "people" person)

    University life is the best life their is and the government pays for you to be there. It's like a permanent vacation. I plan to return, but this time I'll try this thing called "Social Interaction".

    That one of the biggest problems in politics, all all old farts talking about how "bad" they used to have it. Give me a break.

    These day you NEED a mobile phone in order to be employable and email is a requirement of most Universities.

    Al-Qaeda have every right to place a website on the Internet, if you don't like it's content that DONT visit it.
    Free-speech is just that if you want to support it you have to also support other peoples rights to it regardless of ownership or content.

    Myself, and I would think most other civilized people in the world would disagree with you there.

    That's because most people do not support free-speech, I host a blog for a friend that gets routinely DoSed. That leads to to believe that humans in general will attack anything they disagree with.

    I agree,
    There are limits.

    Is it ok to yell "fire" in your own home? last I checked it was.

    Who has the right to decide that Scientology should be censored on their own site?

    Do you have a website? and if so is it ok for me to DoS it if I disagree with your opinion?

    Your examples don't really fit all that well because a website is different from a theatre or airline.

    Google "Scientology fair game"

    This cult is VERY dangerous, and that is why many of us oppose it.

    Are you a victim of this cult? your post suggests that you are!

    Who is Anonymous? No Scientologist has EVER answered that question I have asked it hundreds of times by now and no one has EVER been able to provide an answer. Yet you all act as if you know.

  15. Re:Your Rights Online? on Hacker Admits To Scientology DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    You either support free-speech of you don't, supporting only what you happen to agree with is not free-speech. If someone says something I don't like (and plent of people do) that is their right to say it, just as I have the right to say things they don't like.

    The line is drawn when you post to a website that you do not own because the owner of that site has the right to delete your content if they wish, but is somebody dishonestly forges a DMCA notice like Scientology has been, then it becomes an attack simply because it is done dishonestly.

    The real irony is when that same person talks about protecting freedoms such as free-speech, which they obviously cannot be a supporter of in order to carry out a DDoS.

    Some members of Anonymous are just assholes this guy is one example. allot of asshats are jumping on the Anonymous bandwagon just to do things like this.

    As an enemy of this vicious cult im glad this asshole got caught, You can't say you oppose something due to it's opposition of free-speech, morals, illegal activity ect by committing the exact same offences against it.

    Your misusing your brakes by straining them, if you didn't strain them you would not need to replace the pad, disc and fluid.

    I have never had to rebuild a transmission as a result of engine braking and I do it all the time, even in my car.

    226k miles is almost the age that a transmission should last. I expect mine to last approx 250k miles. Then it and the engine will be rebuilt and the car sold, if it has the resale value otherwise it will probably get scrapped.
