  1. Re:Hate Speech? on Author Faces Canadian Tribunal For Hate Speech · · Score: -1, Troll

    And weren't many of those 100% conviction complaints pushed through by complaints from Jewish Groups such as this one from the B'Nai Brith?

    http://www.uruknet.de/?p=33030

    When Mark Steyn writes for the Jewish World Review (http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0802/steyn1.asp) the B'Nai Brith doesn't seem to complain though.

    Well, of course not. You see, jews are the "Chosen People(TM)". They were given the whole Earth, and fuck those who are not jewish. So, yes, the jews can (and do) get away with murder, like in Palestine and/or Lebanon.

    The political party promises to be tough on crime. After all, everyone likes the idea of less crime, don't they? They promise all sorts of new and innovative techniques to reduce crime, which almost invariably wind up being implemented in the form of "Let's put up more CCTV cameras".
    Well, since it has been quite well demonstrated that "more CCTV" does not equal "less crime", it's only a matter of logic before the cameras are removed, right?

    My "e-book reader" is an old Macintosh Powerbook 3400c I found in the garbage. It's battery is mostly shot (sometimes it can run on the battery alone for about 15 minutes) but otherwise it works okay.

    So I set it on it's side by my bedside so I can read e-books before falling asleep. What's neat about it is that it shuts the screen down after 5 minutes so when I fall asleep, I don't need to worry about it...

    Go for a walk through any third-world ghetto, dressed as you are now, and you'll find exactly how much a human life is worth. The best damn teacher I ever knew got killed in Mexico over his shoes and his wife's purse.
    This happens in societies where the law allows a small handful of people to suck all the wealth of a country, leaving nothing to the majority of people. This is the norm for turd-world countries such as Mexico, where people are forced in such abject poverty that all too often, their only way out is through crime.

    Copyright laws help bring about all the things in life which you take for granted. Take a look around your room - I guarantee that every item you see at least partly owes it's existence to intellectual property laws. Those laws helped encourage people to invent and create, which in turn enriched out culture and our society. Without them, chances are that you wouldn't give a damn about the "value" of human life. You'd be too worried about where your next meal would come from.
    Copyright laws have nothing to do with insuring that purses are not stolen and shoes unkilled. Copyright laws also have nothing to do in insuring investment either. All copyright laws do is divert precious public ressources into protecting intangible "property" that is still used to suck more wealth from the people.

    Copyright laws have nothing to do with the clothes I am wearing.

    Copyright laws have nothing to do with the chair I'm sitting on.

    Using common sense, it's hard to see how a person with a hard drive full of ripped material subject to copyright, who is offering to share it over a P2P network where large amounts of copyright infringement take place, is innocent of all wrong-doing.
    Actually, the federal court of Canada just did that: it stated that downloading is legal, but since the downloading application **FORCES** you to share (for uploading) whatever you are downloading, uploading becomes legal.

    The fact of the matter is, they weren't charged because that's what the prosecutor decided to do. That's how the Anglo-Saxon system of laws works and, although it is far from ideal (and I don't think anyone defending it claims it is), I'm quite certain that you don't want to live in a society where the prosecutor must bring every allegation to trial.
    The thing is, how much the fact that it was police officers helped not having them charged?
