  1. Re:Shouldn't even be a question. on Citizens Demand To See Secret ACTA Treaty · · Score: 1

    I know it's popular to suggest that marijuana isn't that bad, and perhaps it is. But that's really not a judgment to make until the facts are in. It's been less than 20 years since the more potent varieties have shown up, and it would be surprising if there were any reasonable conclusion for at least a decade or two.

    So one candidate sees the value of computers as a tool, and the other admits to being computer illiterate. i can understand not wishing to use computers due to physical limits, but that doesn't change the fact that he chooses not to know about them.

  5. Re:Lieberman, God sees your lies. on YouTube Bans Terrorist Training Videos · · Score: 1

    You see i tend to find that the people at the extremes politically tend to be pretty anti-censorship, if only to protect their own fringe views. The center on the other hand seems to fall prey to many of the worst vices of either end by trying to please everyone.

    Lakewood was an amazing place to be during it. This city is really well set up for a lack of electricity.

    This is where I tend to disagree. I have found that most people at either end of the political spectrum. The people out at the far edges tend to agree that censorship is pretty much intolerable. It is usually in the cushy middle ground of compromise that I see a big push for such measures.

    Yes, and as you said it often mentions a court order. Many of these laws still have sanctions for giving police undue access.

    Some are, some aren't. Leiberman hardly qualifies as far left. My issue with this is not his personal objection to such videos, nor is it with youtube removing them. My objection comes from him using his position as a public servant to subvert a basic ideal of this country.

  13. Re:I dunno on YouTube Bans Terrorist Training Videos · · Score: 1

    It really is a sound paranoia when you stop to think about it. No one really has a problem with the person they like having a power, but when you give power to a government it isn't only the nice dude that you are giving it to it is the one later who may not be so cool. Really, I would love to see my fellow Americans show more distrust when it comes to their government.

    His stance on censorship issues tends to put off a large number of left wing people who would otherwise like him. it is a big issue to some of us.

    Yes, but at some point it tips over from fair use into a derivative work. Not having read the lexicon it is hard for me to say. Does this judge have any other rulings show a pattern either benefiting or harming fair use rights.

    This of course, presumes the innocent anarchists are telling the truth. I believe the very term anarchist implies heavily they wouldn't be above lying.

    Hardly, many anarchists are fond of the truth. The fact that they do not believe in the legitimacy of government does not make them any less honest than any other group.
