This is especially popular with mental health disabilities since the symptoms of the disability often cannot be seen. A lot of homeless people are that way because their brains simply cannot conform to the constraints of a given cultural reality tunnel.

There's nothing 'popular' about thinking for yourself and deciding what it all means to you through a continual process of constant re-evaluation of never-ending and willful learning as opposed to internalization and regurgitation of some commonly accepted societal values and meanings that only have some vague temporal relevance within your local time-space.
Actually - scrap that - seems to me there's nothing 'popular' about thinking. Full stop.
Wikileaks doesn't 'steal' anything. At worst you might accuse them of 'receiving' stolen property but they don't have to go around actually doing any of the stealing themselves.
Damn you're one inaccurate SOB ain't ya? Wonder why that is...
This post needs to be modded WAY up because it's the truth of the situation we have here on this planet that is un-fucking believably insane to anyone who has done even a beginner's amount of research and self-education into.
"So you are saying that every other country on the plant is just stupid and the US is just oppressed?"
No - It's because the first U.S. drug czar, Harry Anslinger held office for two years as US Representative to the United Nations Narcotics Commission and in that role managed to get the other UN members to sign on to the insanity.
"Just because a document is leaked into the public domain does not automatically declassify it."
Well there's the error right there. Once its' public domain the only reasonable and logical thing to happen, in terms of classification, is that it is rendered automatically de-classified.
That'd end the asinine 'catch-22' loop right there; problem solved.
Biofuels got a bad rap because the wrong crops are being used. Instead of food crops that leech from the soil hemp crops should have been used since hemp regenerates the soil and hey - it's a weed - so the yield is much higher.
How and why corn got used instead boggles the mind.
"FARMERS MUST BE ALLOWED TO GROW an energy crop capable of producing 10 tons per acre in 90-120 days. This crop must be woody in nature and high in lignocellulose. It must be able to grow in all climactic zones in America. And it should not compete with food crops for the most productive land, but be grown in rotation with food crops or on marginal land where food crop production isn't profitable." - and that would be hemp.....
It's not that bio-fuels are necessarily a bad idea it's the implementation (thus far) of the idea that sucked.
Yeah well I can measure the force of the wind and observe the gravitational effects of black holes with instruments made within the same physical reality I inhabit.
"individual file sizes... have no physical relationship to the number 2. "
I don't know what kind of computer you use but every computer *I've* ever used stores files in byte size portions and reports the storage usage as such.
Wow - a well-thought out & creative business model that appreciates and values the consumer rather than thinking they still have the right to make us pay or put up with spamvertising. What a concept!
Ok so I'm getting ahead of myself but look - the point is this: I'm sitting here (in my life) with more free high-quality content than I have the time to consume. So, thinking in strictly economic terms suddenly my time is more valuable than the content I'm consuming. That makes me wonder which providers will offer me something above and beyond what the other providers offer. What makes me choose one over the other when they're all just so good and all so free? What distinguishes one over the other?
Well paying me in cash to claim me as a set of eyeballs in whatever business model it is that you use must surely be worth something at some point in all this, wouldn't you think?
Yes we should always force people to live no matter what. Because even if death & dying are natural parts of life we just can't bear it & so must fanatically impose life at all costs.

speak for yourself, you insensitive clod!

And that's why it will never be pop culture.

So now you can stfu, troll.
Well in that case the term 'terrorist' really gets fuzzy doesn't it?
A terrorist uses VIOLENCE to further a political agenda.
I'm sure you'd be more than happy to argue that wikileaks has a political agenda but where, pray tell, is the violence?
Because if this were to happen it would set precedence for pretty much any journalistic entity that doesn't tow the party line as 'terrorist'.
I'd be very careful about that one.
disregard that last post I need to learn to read first before posting :(

Bully? That's a laugh. No wikileaks is more like the snitch who blurts it out to everyone what the bullies are doing.
There. Fixed that for ya.

Rules and regulations are for the weak.
:I'm not limited to how many videos I watch on Youtube by the speed I download them at:
Then why bother increasing speeds at all?
Oh I see so we're not supposed to look at all the aspects of the story - only the good bits.
Why don't we just ban journalism all together, get straight to the point, and call advertising 'news' then?
I'm sure that Verizon's press release does a beautiful job according to your standards. So why have journalists?

Here here! MOD this up as SANE.
Every time someone comes to me with a computer that was infected via web pages in IE I manage to convince them to convert to FF with Ad-block.
Keep it up M$ and I'll have the world converted eventually.
Ahh... so stealing is wrong but violence is ok. Good to know.
Let me guess - you still believe in things like 'justice' and 'fairness', right?
That's cute.
You were dumb enough to leave your laptop in the car and now you want to harass the person who took advantage of your stupidity?
I sure hope you're only tracking them down in order to thank them for finally teaching you something you should already know..... or did s/he?
Yeah well I can measure the force of the wind and observe the gravitational effects of black holes with instruments made within the same physical reality I inhabit.

Bytes are a power of 2.
