    How is the right to conduct silly exercises in pajamas a politcal movement? How is that plotting to take over China?

    They don't specifically say they're NOT trying to take over the UN too, so I guess that's one of their goals.

    And they don't specifically say theyre NOT trying to steal my supply of 1997 Australian Shiraz, so I guess I better put some booby traps on my basement.

    The movements ONLY political agenda is the right to exist in peace. If you practice FG at home and your neighbors find out about then you'll end up in jail. You see the right to keep quite and make it a personal spiritual movement was taken away from them.

    love the quote from that one,

    Ferry's defense layer told reporters his client "thought he was being a good citizen" by building a case against Higazy.

    The really frightening part is that the FBI and CIA were heavily lobbying for the use of torture to get information from suspected terrorists. (who knows if they actually are?)

    How many months before they just round up all the middle-eastern people and put them in camps?

    The US is fucked.

    Try a bow-tie antenna. It works quite well. A double-bow tie indoor antenna ($40 from radio shack) works even better when multipath is a problem.

  24. Wow, and cheaper in Canada too! on Dension DMP3 MP3 Player Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since they don't ship this thing with any storage media (i.e the harddrive), they get away without paying the stupid tarrif/taxes on MP3 players that we have up here in Canada.

    That's a savings of 21$ per GB.

  25. Re:the piracy tax on Canada to Raise Tariffs on Recordable Media · · Score: 2


    This is rediculous. The only reason that these companies get away with this is that there's some kickback somewhere. I gaurentee that if someone were to dig deep enough, they'd find a lot of this "tax" in the pockets of some officials.

    The "kickback" here is probably some MP's and Ministry of Heritage's chance to smooze and party with the music industry.
