This is a honeypot for hackers. Money on the internet has always being a nightmare, credit cards were never designed for the internet. It is going to cost a lots of fees for people to be reimbursed when their accounts are wiped out and their personal detals are stolen.
This is the party leader of the VB bringing the Hitler salute!
The VB wants to destroy democracy and deport everyone who isn't "of pure blood". It says that in the official party program, the so-called "70 points list".
Certainly the way to deal with books that have racism, gender stereotypes, religious differences in them is to ban them under an anti-discrimination act that bans criminal thoughts and speech which are harmful to members of vulnerable population groups.
That's what most European countries do but the US still allows hateful books to be printed citing the so-called "free speech" amendment.
Here in the Netherlands they just brought out the first of the series 5 DVD. I'm surprised that they are still at series 1 in the states.
So I guess those DVD rips are from the European DVD's.
PS: Don't bother with series 5 as it's pretty awful. I downloaded the whole bunch of series 5 rips with edonkey2000 and now I regret burning them on CD-Rs as I won't watch them again because they are so bad.
You won't miss a thing about season 5 because the whole series has gone downhill after 4. The series has become a cheap ripoff of the X-Files.
It became so bad that Michael Shanks called it quits because he thought his role had become a joke and they now have some alien from a planet of boring people replace him.
Well with The Hague Convention going to be passed it will soon be illegal to do anything that is illegal (or refrain from doing something which is mandatory) on the internet in ALL countries in the world.
So you can e.g. be arrested by the Dutch police for critisizing the Taliban online because that is a crime in Afghanistan.
Well I bought an e-book from mightywords.com (now sold to fatbrain) and I could not read it anywhere else but on the PC where I downloaded (which I wanted to reinstall)
Since the company was moved over to their new owners I could not download the e-book again because the link was broken.
So I finally had to resort to printing it out on my laser.
The southern states were racist. After Nazi Germany and South Africa the southern states were the most racist government the world has seen since.
I would think that the/. audience would be far to left-leaning and enlightened to support old General Lee and his greyclad bunch of KKK card carrying black-hating redneck goons.
Most revolutions don't arise spontaneously but have a leadership which coordinates the outrage of the masses.
The Russian revolution of October 1917 is a good example of it. Sure people were fed up with the Czar and he had been forced to abjocate in March 1917.
But without the guiding light of Lenin, Trotsky and the other leaders they would not moved for a completely different society, they would have settled for some of their demands being met by the existing order.
The American revolution differs in the fact that it was instigated by members of the ruling elite (wealthy landowners with political power) who wanted to get rid of influence of other parts of the elite (ie: the British crown). With that respect it was not started by the "havenots".
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

And yes, corporate Americanism is the closest thing we have to Nazism in this day and age so you are quite right.
After all Hitler advocated corporations rights to make profits at the expense of millions of humans (what is called "predatory capitalism") and was supported by all capitalists in Germany, including the bigwig tycoons of Krups, Thyssen, AG Farben, etc.
And it was a brave band of international socialists and communists who defeated him primarily.
Well I wouldn't use Noriega as an example as that trial was basically a show trial reminiscant from the Stalin era.
First he was not arrested in the proper way he was kidnapped by soldiers from a foreign power (he was in Panama at the time so for an arrest to be legal he should have been extradited by Panama, not illegaly taken in by US Marines who even went so far to plant drugs in his car).
Second IIRC he was not allowed to testify in court or have his defense team bring up anything before the court that would have stirred up a scandal about his ties with the CIA. So basically he could not respond to the charges brought against him and had to take the legal assault without defense.
Lets hope this Russian guy doesn't get a similar treatment or he would pine for the "good old days" of the Soviet Union because he would have been treated better by them than by the USA.
PS: I know Noriega is an asshole but the USA used this asshole for many years as a stooge and then cried foul when they didn't have a use for him anymore and they wanted to put some other asshole in charge of Panama who'd break the Panama canal treaty (which was the reason for this whole exercize anyways and it doesn't matter that the later US Clinton administration did honour the Panama canal treaty) because Bush hated what Carter had done in the '70s and could not find a legal way of getting out from under its terms.
But then the USA has a long history of breaking treaties by violence when they dont suit them anymore. Just ask the Sioux and many other indian tribes.
Why has a country like Germany (the main culprit of WW2) learned the lessons of World War II whilst the USA (which shares some complicity for what happened in the Holocaust and also has some hateful events of its own in its name, such as the genocide of indians and the racist wars against Japan, Korea and Vietnam) seemingly hasn't learned a thing and still alows racist groups to operate without impunity?
In Holland, where I live it is impossible for a hater to open his mouth without being in violation of the law. The judge will interpret his sayings and send him to prison or fine him severely
We don't have any fascist groups whith more than a insubstatial followers.
Soon the record companies will govern what you listen to, when you listen to it, how you listen to it and where you listen to.
You will have to click an EULA when you get your music online, you will have to pay extra to play it on your music player, you will have to pay to put the music on pause when the phone rings. You are not allowed to listen to the music in company and you are not allowed to discuss it with other people unless your opinions are 100% positive and even then you have to allow the record companies to prescreen them.
Welcome to the United Totalitarian Police State of RIAA!
Agreed, any country in which guns and hate speech are legal, but innocent drugs like marijuana and pornography (which hurts no-one) are illegal has a depraved sense of morality which once was found in the unspeakable crimes of Nazi Germany.

I thought Apple was the evil one this day and age and Microsoft was the good boy. ^^
Well he's also running Windows XP so he might develop for that. And of course he could develop Linux games.
Fascist isn't the right word.

Neonazi is.
Fascist isn't strong enough for these monsters!
Take a look at this picture from the independent pro-democracy anti-nazi pro-humanrights organisation Blockwatch:

Didn't you know that Mein Kampf is banned because it turns everyone who reads it into a Nazi? So beware!
Well as long as you have honkies you'll have racism.
It's as simple as that!

Hip hop is an expression of black self awareness and black power. So isn't saying that you dislike these concepts?
In my experience generally only bigots dislike hip hop. Everyone else likes it, that's why it's the most popular music form since the Beatles.

Slashdot, my fave geeks news site is discussing SPORTS (barf).
Next time you'll be saying that Microsoft is good!!
Will you please refrain from mentioning sports in future or be honest about it at least and rename the caption "News for Jocks. Stuff that sweats".
Who is doing the calculations using the Universe?
And has Golgafrincham gone in the Universe constructing business?
The mind boggles. One wonders what the question is to this all (we know the answer is 42).
Have you already forgotten about what happened in Columbine where 2 neo-nazi boneheads shot dead 20 schoolchildren, mostly blacks and jews IIRC?
I hope he is sent to prison for a stiff jail term!
So you can e.g. be arrested by the Dutch police for critisizing the Taliban online because that is a crime in Afghanistan.

Hate speech is not an opinion it is a CRIME!
Why has a country like Germany (the main culprit of WW2) learned the lessons of World War II whilst the USA (which shares some complicity for what happened in the Holocaust and also has some hateful events of its own in its name, such as the genocide of indians and the racist wars against Japan, Korea and Vietnam) seemingly hasn't learned a thing and still alows racist groups to operate without impunity?

Napster must go dead and everyone involved must go to jail and lose ever penny they own.
That is the only thing that will fully satisfy the RIAA.
