  1. Re:Also on Preventing Networked Gizmo Use During Exams? · · Score: 1

    No.

    The North American continent has Canada stuck in the middle of the USA, and they are technically (North) Americans. Just like Asians come from Asia, or Europeans come from Europe etc...

    I sincerely apoligise to all Canadians for reminding them that this is technically correct.

    Your just an American hater, wanting to be a douche.

    No, you're just an American who cant understand geography.

    The Nazi's dont care about the spelling, it's the "SS" hunts you down if you spell things wrong.

    No body realizes that Hitlers "SS" actually stood for "Super Spellers"!

    Just like it's part of the USA's culture to go around shooting each other in the streets.......

    Wait did I just stereotype "USA'nians" (yes there are more Americans than just the USA)....Sorry, it must have been the theme of this thread that made me do it.....

    Hell, even Australia is doing censorship and filtering , so really the US if not the best possible nation to control the internet is in the top 10 in terms of keeping it free.

    1: No, Australia is considering it, not actually doing it.

    2: Team America: World Police....

  6. Re:Innocence not guilt on How Statistics Can Foul the Meaning of DNA Evidence · · Score: 1

    Lack of match of DNA found at a crime scene, like a fingerprint, provides reasonable doubt, so that suspect tends to go free. Note that it does not certainty of innocence, merely reasonable doubt. Since, in the US, we are required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, it is often sufficient to kill a case.

    Except for the West Memphis Three.

  8. Re:WikiLeaks and speficicaly Julian Assange... on Human Rights Groups Join Criticism of WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Let me see if I get this straight:

    You Illegally invade their country, blaming them for something they didn't do.
    Kill innocent civilians.
    Arrest members of their Army as terrorists, not POW's and then Hold them without charge.
    And them complain when someone calls shenanigans on you...

    IF the shoe was on the other foot (Afghanistan invaded US), you would be fighting back as well.

    Now as for killing women for wanting to learn, and what ever crazy other reasons, that not why the US invaded.

    The US helped arm and train the Afghans to fight against the Russians during the cold war. They did not help the Afghan people when the Taliban took control and started doing all this shit. They were in power for 5 years before the US invaded.

    Why did they invade Afghanistan? Oh that right because the us was attacked. But wait, Afghanistan did not attack the US. The Taliban did not attack the US. They just refused to give up someone who did. And as the individuals responsible were really country independent (actually "are" not "were", as you still haven't caught them), the US needed to attack someone, right?

    Basically what I'm trying to say is, stop trying to pretend that the US is there for some humanitarian mission. The US did not go there to save the women. They went there to kill! And they cant leave until they clean up the mess they created (which they never will). It will probably end up being another Vietnam, and will have to withdraw in at some point.

    As for someone releasing classified information, that was something he morally thought was right. We all know that the military doesn't have any morals (as a whole, not the individuals), they obey orders.

    Please do not think that I am not a supporter for the armed force personnel, I just don't think the decisions by government have been good ones

    But what about the American military who sit in their helicopters firing missiles into urban streets blowing up residents and journalists? I think more people are dying by the hands of US forces.

    Somebody who is not afraid of the US stands up for what he believes and outs the US for crimes that they commit, and the US cries about it...

    Labour want to implement a 100mb/s (apparently 1gb/s now) fiber broadband network, and have started rolling it out.

    The Piratbyran have associated themselves with an organization that every government hates.

    Actually I don't think the government hates the Pirate Bay. It is more the RIAA and comparable bodies around the world that hate the Pirate Bay.

    See sense 3:

    1 : an American Indian of North America or South America

    Sense 4 is a particularly scary development, however.

    Number 2 is more interesting. 2 being higher on the list and must be more important.
