  1. Re:We had it coming... on World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked · · Score: 1

    Did you see the footage from palestinian streets, cheering in the streets (including women and children). Personally, I would have no problem with people with this reaction becoming collateral damage in the retaliation. Frankly, I think the elimination of all people who follow the religion of the perpetrator would be the best thing for the world. Only religion has the power to cause people to act like this.

    The US should immediately halt all funding of Israel. Period. Forever.

  2. Re:Bullshit. on Brazil Breaks Patent to Make AIDS Drug · · Score: 1

    the dominant religion in Brasil is led by some sort of old guy who never had sex and who thinks rubbers are evil...

    So, this is the problem of drug companies? They should have to deal with their own problems don't you think?? You don't have to be highly educated to know unprotected sex and sharing of needles is deadly, a billboard in every down will be sufficient to educate people. Now, this doesn't mean that people will change their behavior even if they know it will eventually kill them.

    Ya, actually its a social problem. Here we have yet another one of those strange coincidence of life, that the societies that can't control aids through education behavior modification also are the same ones that don't have the money to pay for medicine to treat the results of their behavior.

    Well, you'll find that if we continue stealing intellectual property from the drug companies, then they won't be too interested in developing these drugs in the first place, so then not only poor people won't be able to get a life saving drug, no one will be able to. A lot of slashdotters would consider this a good thing. Oh, just wait, the open source crew will step in and develop all the drugs we need for free, just like linux!.....Right.....

    How stupid can you be?

    Wish I knew how it worked
    It doesn't, the "military idustrial complex" is a conspiracy theory. Over-exaggerating actual threats to secure military funding though, yes, that does exist. Better safe than sorry though.
