    This is a good talking point for women who demand 'equal' rights...

    (not saying they shouldn't, just that they seem to be very selective)

    I think you've been victimized by a female mod.

    Either you made the story up or you let 20 other people vote for you. Which one makes you look better?

    Censoring is filtering. I'm suggesting full blocks around countries. You're talking a Brita filter, I'm talking a cork. This is an important distinction.

    But we're not talking about the trustworthiness of the media, only you are. We're talking about streaming lots and lots of media sources.

    Stop making an ass out of yourself.

    For every Mattel, VW, and Sony there are a thousand companies that saved millions by outsourcing.

    To the down modders,
    WoW is successful due to it's amazing engine and smooth game mechanics. The biggest criticism is about it's mindless content and playerbase.

    Oh I forgot we're supposed to have an irrational hatred for anyone that says anything possibly construed as positive about the media. Need my "nerd badge"?

    Whether he grabs a thousand news feeds, or some "news" network does it, he's going to end up with an identical set of information. So they can do it *for* him.

    While I agree, I would hope other nations uphold lawful behavior as a virtue, these men are still breaking Russian laws.

    But it's the essence of corruption. We cannot expect Russia to help us. We cannot expect China to help us. So, why do we let them peddle their packets in our networks? That might motivate them, but it will definitely reduce the security risks we face.

    I agree with your argument, but everyone is ignoring , what I feel, is the greatest purpose to civilian gun ownership.

    It is ultimately our guns that secures our voice.

    When the Patriot act is expanded on, and more and more of our rights transfer to the government, I'm not going to be without a voice. I just hope I'm not the only one.

    The problem isn't our ability to detect and identify the criminals.

    Our problem is convincing Russia and China to help us. Why would either be motivated to?

    Quite frankly, maybe I'm being an ignoramus, but the international community should create internet blockades around nations that don't play nice.

    Well it would be nice for some legal precedent to be set. There is a lot of unknowns about who owns what. Many MMO creators even claim ownership over the software you bought. So you may walk out of a store with cd's, a box, manuals, and some flashy pin-up art, but you really only bought a license?

    You may be told you won an in game prize for a contest, but actually the developer owns your prize? What are they claiming you won, exactly?

    You may be given in game cash as an incentive to return to a game, but it's not really yours? Who are they giving it to?

    Again, I eagerly await legal precedent on this.

    What makes these games fun isn't the amazing engines or terrific game mechanics - its the players.

    So much for WoW being successful?

    Considering the media just pillages each other for information, I don't think it's going to be an information overload; rather an information echo echo echo echo.

    Serving in the military is not a requirement to be able to serve competently as Command in Chief. Understanding the military should be and you can understand the military without having served.
