It's funny how you say I need to contemplate more, all the while acting as if I was the one who said these things that were said to me. Maybe you should practice your reading comprehension. I started a discussion that you joined in but didn't really contribute to.
It's funny that you think *I* said that. And yes, since Australians are in the war, he could very well be a traitor by releasing information about their operations. I have no clue how different countries define traitor. However, it's interesting to me that you think that me using the word automatically means "traitor to America", when that wasn't what was typed. You have an interesting sense of reading comprehension. I do, however, agree with you.
Some of it definitely served a function, though. Knowing our presidents have been lying to us about not knowing if Bin Laden is alive and actively directing the war? Priceless.
Yet, if such information affected things in such a way as to end the war even a day earlier, more life would be won than lost. I mean, people justify the Hiroshima bombing by saying it saved lives compared to the firebombing that would have happened had the war continued. (I'm really just playing it neutral in this discussion to see if people say anything interesting and informative.)
If I ran into Assange right now, I'd kill him with my own bare hands. He's a traitor.
This is what was told to me. There's some truth to this too. I tend to think of Wikileaks as a hero, but maybe they aren't. Maybe they are just a tool, like a gun or a hammer. A tool is neutral. It accomplishes a goal. It is neither good nor evil.
I'm wondering if I should consider this leak "good", or simply an "effective use of a tool".
I don't think it's evil as a whole, but if people are dying due to the individual parts, then perhaps the issue is not so simple as "good || bad".
Scandanavia isn't even a country. And they all have guns. Citizen owned (esp Norway). Unless I've gravely misunderstood you to the point of my own embarassment, or lost some context that you have, it seems to me that you've made no point whatsoever, and in fact have stated the oppositte of truth. How embarassing.
You get to see your loved one when they are dying in the hospital. You don't get taxed when your spouse dies and the money has to transfer to you. It's not equal. And you're an asshole.
He's probably confusing the 1960s with the 1860s. Back then, Democrats voted against civil rights for Blacks, and Republicans were for it. NAACP recently asked the Democratic party to apologize for that shit.
How about the right to do what you want with your own privately owned business? Liberals are the ones pushing smoking bans, not conservatives. (Note: I think Obama is too far to the right, and test about as far to the left as possible. But this doesn't stop me from getting pissed off at liberal authoritarianism.)
Freedom: You let people do what they want. Don't like what's on my TV show? Change the channel. Don't like my parties? Don't come to them. Don't like my books? Don't buy them. Don't like my bar? Don't work or patronize it. But oh wait! Smoking is bad, umm'kay? Let's petition the government to stop consenting adults from doing what they want! Insert financial and health justification here.
what part of "WORLD" don't you understand? Someone talks about something in general, and you respond with something only about the US? By your logic, English is the most spoken language in the world, and Christianity is the largest religion. Haha!
Or at the very least, be an unrepentant asshole. Be an honest asshole. Be an honest non-asshole. Don't be a cheater. Then you can fully enhance your social life by using the tools the internet provides, without having to worry about who may see your life, because you have no shame. Live free.
They claim "unlimited", then they kick you out if you actually dare to download more than 100G in a month. And they lie about it in pre-sales: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/76331293/ -- And oh, they threatened me with a $300 early termination fee for THEM terminating ME, they told me they'd waive it only if I didn't talk about it online. Hah.
It's not that they can't design -- The page could barely be any clearer than it is. It's that they have to compensate for the stupidest human beings on planet earth. And, in that sense, it's a really good feature.
Except he didn't disobey orders -- he was on a bicycle down the street and couldn't have heard orders from a foot officer up the block -- nor was he doing anything different than all the other cyclists -- and Officer Patrick Hogan was convicted of assault for what he did. He also lied about it until the video came out. Nice of you to leave out the facts, apologist bootlicking shill.
And oh, he was a jock in high school. Figures.

So where do I buy one of these hunting rifles that can't hurt government people?

I do not believe government support is a technical necessity.
That's kind of what I thought. This guy just caused me to cast some doubt on it.

I don't know.
So basically, the law abiding are not deprived of them, as your initial comment falsely suggests.
In fact, you seem so wrong I'm just going to assume I read your comment incorrectly.

Some of us don't want to hide like cowards because we're scared of others' judgment.

I'm not sure why you're sharing irrelevant information, but thanks. (Cable co? huh? DSL isn't run on cable.)

Now you're just splitting hairs. Have some dignity.

I just read your comments on http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/04/03/1322240/The-Short-Arm-of-the-Law?from=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Slashdot%2Fslashdot+(Slashdot)&utm_content=Google+Reader , where comments are closed - And my god you are a fucking idiot. You have no reading comprehension whatsoever. That guy was right, you were wrong. YOu provided links, and you failed to comprehend your own links you've provided. I haven't seen such idiocy in months.
