Everyone I knows just has a dedicated VPN from a different country to their own. With a firewall setup to only allow bittorrent traffic through when the VPN is connected you're pretty much anonymous without faffing about with TOR.
You can get a dedicated VPN for about £5 a month.
But they don't have any say in making laws so what's your point?
I'm no fan of the monarchy but then they do tend to reduce the pretensions of the governing part leader.
What I was meaning is, why do Americans have so little faith in themselves that instead of arguing an issue on its merits, they argue about what some other guys 200 years said.
England is a free tolerant country and we have no constitution. Arguably America which has never faced invasion, a tiny side war in 1812 aside, has never had its constitution properly tested. The American Civil War was actually fought over the constitution.
Think for yourselves.
Why are Americans so obsessed with the Constitution. Make your own laws for your own time rather than basing everything on what some guys wrote down a couple of hundred years ago.
The reason your laws are ok is because they're based on English law and you're a democracy. The constitution is just a piece of paper that stops you from banning handguns.
If people really thought that aid worked I'm convinced that they'd happily vote for lots more of it.
The truth is though that these countries need political reform not money. Giving money before true political reform often causes more problems than it solves.
Even sending people to teach has drawbacks. You're likely to be reducing the local demand for teachers, they'll probably want 'reasonable' living standards which will alter the local economy as people try to cater to their needs etc..
What we need is a good propaganda campaign to shout about our values. Make films and tv shows that they'll enjoy in their own language, but which espouse our values.
The BBC World Service is a good example of what we should be doing more of.
Particle accelerators are the Cathedrals of the modern era. One of the few things from my generation I'm proud of.
5.5 Billion to show that the brightest people from a variety of countries can work together for the good of mankind is a bargain.
And I really want to know if Higgs was right.
Discriminating based on mental abilities would be just as illegal as discrimination based on ethnicity, religion or sex in many European countries.
This is nonsense, there is no legislation about discriminating on mental abilities.
Thankfully we don't live in Europe and a private business is still free to choose who they want to do business with. If you think it's "discrimination" then you are equally free not to do business with them or even to try and get people to boycott them.
This is nonsense too. You saying you can open a bar in New York and stick a 'No Blacks' sign in the window?
As an English English speaker I'm curious about when Americans started using normalcy (" today's ho-hum mormalcy"). What's wrong with normality? Is there a difference? Never seen it used this side of the Atlantic but it crops up a fair bit on Slashdot. Sounds ugly and wrong to my ears.
