if anything, it would serve to show that diplomats arent the untouchable holy men they are portraid to be (if anyone still actually believes that, my guess is lots of ppl don't really, but my guess is lots of people really never even thought about it). Abandoning amazon is easy, lots of alternatives. Abandoning paypal? what's the alternative if you dont want to give in to the credit card mafia ?
true, i know that logic, if you don't want people to be killed in a war, just take away the press and cameras and no one will die anymore. Out of sight out of mind, big problem with this sensitive stuff is that a lot of people don't want to know, they're happy in ignorance, it feels safer not thinking about the realities of war and terrorism than to look it in the eye and know that somewhere that stuff is real, everyday life. I still side with what wikileaks does even if assange might have become a bit of a pr-dick
why not just skip and read only the parts you find interesting, it's an open forum after all and last time i checked, free speech was still in place, even if it gets a bit old;-)
tho it is their right to do so and more or less sound from a shitpants kind of perspective i feel they have shown their true colours indeed. If this turns into the first information war they have chosen sides.
ofcourse, you will trust half your planets energy production to the areas you ripped off and waged war in for the last 100 years, sounds like a plan (and ofcourse, more jobs for the north-american military)
i agree that most of them are hippiecrites with incredible vegan powers but i dont see why humans should get more rights than animals and the excess population can't be eaten, who really IS the destructive force on this planet?
yes, a system that lets me skip all ads by default so i can only browse those i need when i'm looking for something specific is just what i would prefer as well, anything else feels forced down my throat and will keep me more and more away from the website since being forced to watch something is terribly annoying
ethics were invented, since ethics is not physics, they must be an illusion, in the end there's only one law (how about that for a bit of crummy ole' greek-style logic?)
the sad bit, if i look around here in europe, the mouth breathing half-wits do get elected sometimes just because they bark the loudest, they don't need anything to back up their words really
i'm missing something here, will i be able to get my favourite shows from hbo and sho and not pay for the ones i'm not interested in, or can i just get the same hbo sub for less through xbox live, while paying extra to get xbox live gold so in the end i end up paying more, i'd like to see a bit of facts and numbers here it's very vague so other than this little commentary i have no comment.
What's in it for me?
the whole universe was born from violent conflict, it seems quite impossible any new world would become in any other way, everyone's just afraid of losing control, i like this so very much, i hope some panicsquad doesnt get orders to pull the plug on this whole evil internet that lets information go so freely where it wants to be
i just quit facebook and myspace weeks ago, my orb told me to, only problem is i can't find the cancel or disable account button on twitter. I know find myself reading articles and forums that contain actual information, it's a whole new world
i kinda disagree, most people i know would run their computer back to the store for a simple single virus infection since they don't know how to handle that. That might seem weird to most of you, but it is very true (at least in my surroundings) so you can't really say they have control if they know they are infected
i don't think le julien really 'directs' his soldiers where to go and what info to snoop so he can get a new headliner. The unknown soldiers does the bleeding in the field, the team selects what info should be published first. le julien has become some kind of icon, a symbol you can hurt and lash out at. Have you noticed that islam has no symbols you can lash out at? No icons or depictions? not that i would relate islam to oppressive regimes ofcourse, i'm just saying... the man is the scapegoat,the organisation was there before the site, the site just gave it an outlet to the greater public that never cared to look for the information in the first place. It is my opinion as well, that wikileaks wont die just because they slander the icon, only in the eyes of the masses who dont go beyond what their brestfed anyway
i'm not really into gay sex but i think this discussion's been had so many times, it's unnessecary or pobaby impossible to add something new so i'm gonna second this last one cos it comes pretty damn close to how i feel about it. Public disobedience (as we call it here) is necessary to uphold true democracy, as is absolute free speech. Absolute power makes absolutely corrupt unless you're superhuman.(from what i can see the piratebay looks still pretty up and running, is this so they can sue more people for more money or was this the only intent they had from the start?)
justice is defined by the rulers, that's one of the reasons why revolutions happen

now that, sir, was definitely really interesting, thank you

you did forget tideland, gilliam owns the fantastic movie, maybe he invented it, maybe he's the wicked ghost of movies past, that's another fan, here

am i the only one who gets immediate attention disorder when it says british lately, unless it's about movies or music ?
how very biblical

is that from the greek poly and ethos, meaning morals of convenience then?
i hope treated subjects turn out to be sterile or we're in for a heap of trouble
progress without conflict is impossible . when all conflict is resolved there is no need for evolution. Conflict does not always require violence.

no , you're not alone, i'm sure there's one of us on every continent at least
