Actually, I trust those men and women to kill innocent civilians. For that, US and Israeli soldiers need to get their asses nuked. I see the Iranians coming...
Hehe, but those things you mention are peripheral issues, they have nothing to do with what I was responding to. You have not shown that these countries are worse (i.e. farther from perfect) than the US. Which is understandable...
But for some reason, you decide to not use the power you have at your disposal---your nominal democracy. I would say you're about as indoctrinated as the average Chinese Joe, perhaps more so.
Pardon me, but what is "Americanism" in the first place??
"But we're slightly less far from perfect than almost any other country in the world."
Sweden, Norway, France, Canada, Finland, Germany, Australia, Japan, Italy, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, The Netherlands and perhaps quite a few other countries are closer to perfect than you. Are you comparing yourself to countries like Iraq and Saudi Arabia, two of your allies?
I didn't have statistics of other mishaps in mind, but you do bring up some perspective. My point was just to show this jingoist that America doesn't have a monopoly on the use of violence in the world, There exists other powers that can bring the US to its knees.
That's good stuff, the Iranians should use that to bomb the shit out of the americans in the middle east. Turn them into foam toast. The americans as foam toast!
Yes, you can do that but you should consider one thing: your relations with the rest of the world, particularly with middle-eastern countries, is a two-way street. Do you recall what happened on September 11, 2001?
I work in the sciences, and I expect my work to be cited just as I cite the work of others. But as a free, open, and anonymous service, why does wikipedia need to be cited? The information provided by this source is free and open, just like its accuracy.
However, I'm not saying that the Argentinian legislator is in the right, he should have put the relevant passage under quotation marks.
i object to the "+5 insightful" tag of my post. I have read comments here on slashdot that were leaps and bounds more insightful than the one I posted. I suppose it's because I posted it in "the root"
who are admins? and who are users? or wait a minute, maybe both are one and the same? what shall we do then? what shall we do when the law applies to everyone except the {empty set}?
If Google hadn't initially complied with Chinese authorities, then his words would have substance. As it is, he is just a hypocrite. In actual fact, he, like the vast majority of corporates, only cares about the mighty $$$. He sounds like he is just whining about his company's inability to operate offshore.
laws are meant to be broken, and crimes are a means to do so. luckily there exists something called encryption, which makes it practically impossible to execute the kinds of actions you speak of

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party of the United States?
When they shelter a person responsible for a major attack on the United States and then refuse to hand him over it becomes our business.
Wrong: It becomes the UN's business.
Instead of getting tired of it, perhaps you should get used to it.

If they decide that, it will have exactly the same effect as those who decided to shut down bitTorrent.
geeky fucking signatures like that do not make you look cool
geek humour is fucking retarded

Lesson to bear: there are more mosquitos than there are of you. If you want your species to survive, don't be stupid.
yes, I'm very disappointed, you should be shocked.
I didn't have statistics of other mishaps in mind, but you do bring up some perspective. My point was just to show this jingoist that America doesn't have a monopoly on the use of violence in the world, There exists other powers that can bring the US to its knees.
how about Einstein, Heisenberg or Bohr?

doesn't matter, the Iranians will eventually bomb the shit out of US soldiers over there in the middle east
that's cool, I hope the Iranians bomb the shit out of US soldiers over there in the middle east

Pirate sites will go, and others will replace them, but there is a constant: like death and taxes, piracy will go on.
