  1. Re:Ugh on Rackspace: SOPA "Is a Deeply Flawed Piece of Legislation" · · Score: 1

    Religious people want censorship? What kind of fucking crack are you smoking? And how did your bigoted filled post get to +5 insightful. If you said special interest groups want censorship I'd cut you some slack, and say carry on. But by and large, in the west, even the US, the majority of religious people don't want any more censorship than anyone else. If what you said was true, you'd hear the masses of Christians screaming over the desecration of various holy idols and the like. You don't.

    Because if you did, you'd see what Christians doing what Muslims do. Rioting, burning down the buildings of other denominations, and cutting off the heads of unbelievers. Free flow of information is anathema...right. Ignorance of the real world can not be substituted by wikipedia.

    And before some nutbar atheist(I really don't mind atheists, it's the nutbars that bug me) gets it in their head that I'm Christian, I'll head you off at the pass. I'm a Reformist-Jew.

    Yes. As much mistranslated as the people who were out shouting death to the Jews, and death to Israel in Cairo today I'll bet too. Actually, no, lets just skip this and go right to the go to Iran well if you can, and when you get back. Let me know what the state media thinks and what the government tells you what the people should be doing.

    I'll wait. Though if you're american, you'll probably spend a stint there and might end up with broken hands, or feet or something.

    Really? I guess that it's all just a careful misrepresentation of a careful misunderstanding, that the words aren't said, but the words are said, but not in the way they're said, in the way they're said. Don't be naive, if you've been to Iran you already know exactly what the government would like to do.

    Hitler was a 'far-left' socialist in terms of his social policy, he nationalized everything. In terms of his over all government policy and control of people he was indeed a fascist though. But he was by far more a socialist than anything, he just didn't like the ideas of communism as much and started his own religion(nazism).

    It's pretty easy to say "death to..." and when called out on it to say "well we really meant..." which is what Ahmadinejad the leaders before him, and the Ayatollah's have done too. I'm sure you already know what this is called, and I don't have to spell it out for you.

    Hell the chinese and soviets murdered theirs for being free thinkers and scientists until they figured out they might need them, not much of a difference. Well actually there is, in WWI it was a pure manpower vs technological gap issue. There wasn't much of an option to be picky. In WWII there was less of a manpower vs technological gap issue. The people who experienced WWI from the trenches actually saw the effects around them. There's a reason why WWII is called the million round war.

    Capitalism isn't broken when it's dealing with people who only work 10-20 hours a week. It sees that as a weak link in a chain, or an individual/group/section that's inefficient at the task. Even the "top 5%" don't get your cushy 10 or 20 hours of work a week, and most don't ever see until they're very close to retiring away from their work. Capitalism works best when an individual is paid for value for their work, it works worst when artificial values are placed on work.

    Your idea is nice, but doesn't work well in reality. If you want an example of where you end up. You just need to look at France, that's the end example which has taken your ideal to heart.

    Oddly you're talking about post-WWII, it still took Japan nearly 35 years to do it, with a serious investment from the west to get off the ground no less. And with several other things. The difference between Japan, Russia and China are pretty easy to point out. Especially in the periods. It wasn't until the late 70's and early 80's that they were considered any type of threat at all, that's pushing nearly 45 years in total post-redevelopment.

    Do you live in the US or Canada? Then driving more than 300mi on average is pretty common. Actually I drive 300mi to go see my neurologist very 1-3mo, I live in Canada, in the most densely populated part of the country(Southern Ontario). I have no "range survivalist syndrome" or "what if I run out of juice and the zombi-apocolypse strikes." My sister, works in Northern Alberta, she works for the federal government. She drive 300mi every month to get her groceries, she drives 300mi 3-5 times a week for prisoner transfers sometimes she needs to leave her vehicle in one location and drive something else. Two of my friends from college also work for the federal government, and also do the same thing. They live in this area called the "northern exclusion zone" where normal life stops being normal. And it gets cold, very cold. Where diesel vehicles stop working normally, and if you don't keep them idling at night, you won't start them in the morning.

    Now I realize this is hard to believe, but outside of a bunch of small packed together countries that you can drive across in a short span, where cities are packed ass and cheek together, this isn't an issue. Pretty much everywhere else, or where the infrastructure doesn't exist? Gas and diesel is still king, and for good reason.
