  1. Re: Sorry, dude, he saw you coming. on eGenesis to Develop New MMO with Orson Scott Card · · Score: 1

    Says who?

    I keep hearing that marriage is 'sacred' (which invisible space god are we refering to?) that its 'designed' for hetrosexuality (by who). That the 'community' disaproves it (which one, and do the members of said community who aprove it only think they aprove it but actually disaprove it?)

    Theres so much bunkum here. Heres some facts:
    1) Its none of no one elses business what two people do in there bedroom.
    2) If they want to get married and you dont like it well fuck off and mind your own business. it doesnt affect you.
    3) You cant 'catch the gay'. Not by being around gay people. Not by having your children taught by them, and not by stopping pretending they dont exist.
    4) If gay people get married, it cant leak out and magically turn your straight marriage into a gay one.

    Folks seriously need to stop being biggoted fuckheads and realise that all this gay bashing just confirms that as advanced as we think we are, deep down many of us are still misanthropic barbarians to the core. Homophobes are no diferent to klansmen.

  8. It happens in the US too :( on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 4, Interesting

    About a year and a bit ago, Sherman Austin was arrested and ended up doing about a year for providing a link on a website to another website with info on making molotov cocktails.

    When Ashcrofts boys leant on him and threatened him with charges of terrorism, he made a plea bargain that would get him a coupla months jail. The judge ignored the bargain and gave him a year.

    Groups like the EFF have basically said if he didnt do the plea bargain , he probably would of been released on grounds of first amendment, but he plead thinking he'd only be in a short stay. Effectively the judge denied him the chance for a real defence against a long sentence.

    In australia ,years ago, a guy did a long sentence for providing information on how to legally avoid voting (compulsary voting in australia).

    And in britain, the servers of journalist group indymedia where siezed without explaination or warning , and now it seems without legal grounds.

    Journalists are arrested *daily* around the world for writing articles that offend governments.

    Turkey aint the only ones up to this sort of crap.

    Well it certainly gets interesting. At the moment the home office in the UK is denying its involvement , meaning the bloody fools might of done the raid themselves.

    Claiming that US law enforcement was indeed involved in this action in the absence of any proof to that effect is speculation and irresponsible reporting.


    Other than the fact that it has been pretty much confirmed it was the FBI who did the raid. It might be 'iresponsible', but that dont stop it being true. I dont think rackspace are lying about this.

    For all their whining, Indymedia has not even shown that they owned the property that was seized

    yes. its indymedias property. what a silly assertion to make. And if it was returned early, its only because of an international effort to get it back , including some assistance from an international team of lawyers and a UK MP.

    If it was just a nutty little website with two writers and ten readers, it'd probably be lost to oblivion. Thankfully IMC doesnt take shit from governments and has the muscle to back it up.

    I could never in good concience blame americans for 911. It was a horrid horrid tragedy.

    But militant movements dont evolve in a vacuum. We need to ask "What happened, by whom, how and when that caused these people to want us harm?". I mean, why the US/allies and not , say, china.

    And that is what has not been asked. And THAT is the danger.

    Unfortunately we do know the source of the frusturations.... foreign interference. If your neighbor came over and kept punching you everyime you had a fight with your partner or something , you might just feel compelled to go and smash his windows in with a brick after a while.

    What major stories has indymedia broken?

    Diebold election scamming is the main one that comes to mind. Theres been a heck of a lot of anti protestor violence reported (and in some cases acted on by authorities) ie in Genoa. Indy does tend to focus on local news alot, so its in the local area indy sites that you'll find most of the scoops.

    Indy does alot of work in countries with strong political repression. Iran, Iraq, Burma, etc.

  19. Re:Switzerland and Italy on Indymedia Servers Given Back · · Score: 3, Interesting


    Compromising the identity of undercover police officers is something that is frowned on by governments worldwide. Don't know if it's actually illegal in Italy or Switzerland though.


    The problem of course here is that protestors for years had been desparately pointing out that agent provocaters had been the ones stirring up strife at protests, and not them.

    Those cops where in classic black block garb, and provide some solid evidence of cops infiltrating to cause trouble.

    I think protestors have a right to get this information out, simply because it provides some evidence towards clearing the innocence of a lot of people who have been entrapped into acts of madness by people who have less than altruistic intentions towards 'the movement'.

    I assure you, if a spook was giving me grief, I'd expose his ass quicker than he can blink.
