    since when is a MAC per-person either?
    might be a NAT, might be a server, might be spoofed.

    Look at the sibling comment to yours. quiksand has been making this argument all over this story.

    Easter is a celebration of zombie-Jesus coming back to life. At worst, it's a celebration of undeath.

    So why did we invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan?

    Diversionary tactic.

    Of course, that's how boss battles work, isn't it?

    World War 2 ended when a prisoner escaping from some castle gunned down Cyborg-Hitler, after all.

    That's only VE day. You forget about VJ day when a giant monkey the Americans stole from some jungle island killed a giant lizard/dinosaur thing.

    But of course, it was a really sad day for the world when that lone Italian Plumber later shot the monkey. Of course, there are also some nutjobs that claim that another plumber helped from the mushroom knoll...

    Touche.

    You obviously didn't read the entire post... There is no 'US' and 'EU'.

    You use oblivious. Why do you assume it is being oblivious vs. apathetic? Maybe the US doesn't care.

    And at what point do EU laws become the problem of the EU? Why point the finger at the US?

    Finally, the 'US' you speak of is generally a bunch of transnational corporations. I'm quite certain that they laugh at petty tribal squabbles like the US vs. EU vs. BRIC.
