    Talking about Global Warming is very unpatriotic in the US!

    Remember there are no such thing as
    - Global Warming
    - AIDS
    - Teen Pregnancy because of bad (bigotry) or non existent education
    - dead US soldiers in Iraq
    - millions of americans without health care

    But there are things such as:
    - WMD in Iraq
    - Bush talks to God
    - Al Quaida - Saddam H. connection
    - Need for automatic weapons to protect from evil arab TeRrORiSts on US soil
    - love for the US troops from the friendly and peaceful people from Iraq

    Looks like.

    Smart is manufactured and marketed in Europe by an unaffiliated party and made US/CA compliant by DMC.

    If not marketing and legal department of smart (or Mercedes Benz North America) would unleash hell for using the brandname "smart" (all lower case).

    I wonder why they are allowed to write "smart" with a capital "S"

    You can see at the adress that you are in an other "country".

    If the US are so eager to push their laws into other countries maybe they should join the International Crime Court [ICC] and not avoid it like some vampires the sunlight! I think the ROI at WIPO is better than at the ICC!

  12. [OT] USA = Laughing Stock of Democratic World on E-Voting Problems Are Mostly User Error, Says ITAA · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sorry to tell you this. But you (=read: citizen of the USA) are the laughing stock of the "democratic" world.

    Your administration threatens to bring democracy to so called rogue nations and can not guarantee a fair and equal vote in their own country.

    Now a group of people want's to blame the other group of election fraud in "the land of the free and home of the brave" because of technical reasons.

    1) Laws that forbid the recounting of votes,
    2) no papertrail,
    3) faulty technology
    4) internet connected PCs / Laptops

    ==> tampering with the election result made easy!


    You have to be registered to vote! Can someone tell my why? Why have you to tell you are a republican or a democratic voter?

    Your voting system is fucked up! With or without technical assistance!

    Rember your Supreme Court decision to stop the recounting of votes! In a democracy the people have only one chance to directly influence politics with their vote. Now the your Supreme Court denies you your right that every vote is counted and that all votes are equal! Think about it!

    The old paper ballots are proven to be the best why spend millions of tax payers money for some bad products.

    In the occupied regions the prisoners are/were tortured in the name of democracy by soldiers and intelligence personnel or contractors.
    Just ask the iraqi people what's the difference between the regime of Sadam und the new proclaimed democratic gouvernment (=read: puppet regime) under supervision of the "coalition of the willing".

    They will answer that the infrastructure is destroyed and their oil ressources are under an freign power (Halliburton).

    I've said enough.
    I'am sad to see the USA go down the drain.

    Some years ago I wanted to visit the USA as a tourist and maybe work for some time.
    Now you became a nation where free/other/liberal ideas are suppressed by fascistic groups like the Neocons, sects (=Church groups) or companies.
    These groups have to much influence.

    The pecking order is
    1) politican
    2) companies / lobby groups
    3) religious groups
    ...) $other group
    n-1) animals
    n) people

    Mod me down if you like -
    I don't care because I live in a world more free than the USA.
