Saddam and sons were basically that of drug lords. They don't have loyality to anyone but themselves. But if there is something to gain from dancing with the devil (Al Qaeda in this instance), they will and have done it.
I may of missed the memo from Ashcroft, but when does speculation = evidence?
Of course, everyone in Iraq feels much safer now, as at least the US goverment looks after explosives there were already under lock and key... no, wait a sec....
Hell, just look how corrupt the UN is with the Oil-For-Food scam that went on.
I thought that the UN had a bet on with the US/Halliburton to see which could be more corrupt. The jury is still out on the winner.
The mods are sealing up your post as it pertains to a ongoing troll invesigation. Your karma will be upped once the investigation is complete, I assure you.
Well then, since there are mountains of evidence the he's ignored that challenge his claims, where are they?
Its one thing to say something. Its another to produce evidence and logical reasonings, to back up said comments. Palast, apparently, does both.
Also, because someone is a "hater", does this mean that he's immediately barred from saying anything? Are the only people that are legitimate to expose scandals and cover-ups the ones that love the people their exposing?
If someone finds out all the bad stuff about the republicans, and someone finds out all the bad stuff about the democrats, isn't that GOOD?
Sure its a silly joke, but he's not a karma whore. It's not his fault that the majority of moderators act like they have the IQ of a retarted hippopotamus, and mod silly things up.

Your point? He didn't say he could stop you, he just said you weren't morally justified. And you aren't.
You would be nothing but a bottom leech on society; worthless to society.
"Advertizers" only care about eyeballs to their ads, and little else. If this "true" debate show was shown and really succeeded, then advertisers would be clamouring everywhere for shows just like it, and the market (and TV stations)would correct itself for this "intelligent" debate market almost overnight.
The reasons shows like Crossfire succeed, is because people like to watch it. Thus, talking points vs talking points in a shouting match are obviously what people want to watch.
I think you need to loosen your tin-foil hat a little.
Look back into reality TV programs, when they first came out. The first few were very much a success, and then we had a whole slew of "reality" programs. If a true debate is what people wanted, you would see a market pop up just like it did for reality TV. Obviously, not too many people, sadly, care about informed debate.
Fair enough. Personally I have little interest in things that are of no concern to me, so I just found it curious he was complaining about a service he will not use.
I don't know. Believing in the words of a book written 1500-2000 years ago seems to me to be an impairment of normal cognitive thinking, and certainly leads to large bouts of irrationality.

If you don't like what they are saying, DON'T FUCKING READ IT!
How fucking simple is that?
I remember having loads of fun for months after Diablo II's release, on the realms.
I had no lag issues or any major bugs, bar the obvious character balancing.
But then again, the Asia realm wasn't inherited with as many idiots as the American servers.
The timing is extremely interesting. From what I can recall, all of Blizzard's previous releases were released in June/July.
Hell, I pre-ordered Diablo 1,and if I remember correctly, it came out somewhere near the middle of the year over here.
Indeed. My first MMORPG experience will be WOW, because I liked Diablo and Warcraft heaps.

What I am saying is that you are a pedantic asshole. And I'm not even the AC above.
For the record, your post (the grandparent) smacked of salary envy.

Yes, but most Slashdotters idea of totalitarianism is their Mum telling them to take out the Trash.

Yes, but depriving people of money that they have earned is immoral, which was my point.
It's fine if you don't want to support an artist/programmer/etc, but simply don't use the product at all.
Having it available for "copying" is no less immoral than stealing something, only the legalities differ.

Way to troll....
Look, I work in TV, and it is BS that they're in business to give people what they want.
They're in business to MAKE MONEY.
So they make money by giving people what they don't want? Are you reading what you wrote, Mr Tv Man?
Perhaps, but the crux of my argument is still valid.
So you steal alcohol and cigarettes as well?
No, but the order of how the the ones and zeroes are arranged is a "thing". People spent money organizing these ones and zeroes in a certain way.
I'm pretty sure the Europeans are glad you don't live there either.
No, you're wrong
Stories in the holy books are myths. By definition, religions are based in mythology.
Please, try and contradict my point. I'd like a laugh.
Except drudge report was specifically referred to in the write-up, whereas Moore is irrelevant (both in this story, and every other one.)
Nice try with the strawman though. I bet it made you feel good.
Fair enough. Personally I have little interest in things that are of no concern to me, so I just found it curious he was complaining about a service he will not use.
I would appreciate one.
