I'm surprised Israel just doesn't steal Office. They stole nuke secrets from American, and illegally sold radar technology to China. Israel illegally stole Palestinian land. Israel began a war in 1967 to steal Egyptian, Syria, Jordanian and Lebanese land. They illegally tried to sink a known US ship to steal land in the Golan Heights.
This is the same state that banned pet ferrets, an animal domesticated for well over two thousand years, on the fears that it might to feral. That this has never happened is something which no one seems to care about.*
The odd thing is that cats, which do go feral, all the time, are perfectly legal. Additionally, they have caused the deaths of several native species, and a cat parasite is erradicating otters.
This is just another example of government justifying its existance by passing worthless laws.
*Wild stouts were purposefully released into New Zealand. They bred with domesticated ferrets and due to a completely lack of predators (not a problem in California) have entered the environment quite successfully.
Slightly incorrect. Orrin Hatch's son, Brent
Orrin Hatch, is a lawyer retained by the SCO. Funny that Senator Orrin Hatch is trying to pass laws to make his son rich.
Hey. Call your Senators. Let them know that this bill is wrong. If you live in Illinois, call
Dick Durban (D) - 312/353-4952
Peter Fitzgerald (R) - 312/886-3506
And what's up with Orrin Hatch? Why is this jackass always involved with things like this? First he wants to destroy computers. Now he wants everyone who might be involved in copying songs to go to jail.
Heh. I knew someone was going to bring that up. (I love that line.)
The problem isn't that the bastards are dying for their country. The problem is that the US isn't willing to let the bastards die for their country and stay in the fight in the mean time.
Here are the numbers: Lebanon, 241 dead marines, Somalia, 18 soldiers, Iran, 54 US embassy workers kidnapped for 400 days.
Fear of Iranian intervention and Arab disapproval kept George Bush from entering Iraq the first time. If you doubt this, then I'm not going to bother finding links. Wait two hours, and look at my journal.
We don't congratulate them, because we know their history. In the past 70 years, China has been involved in a shooting war with 6 of their neighbors. Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea, India, Vietnam, and Tibet. They've sent troops into Cambodia, Vietnam, and Nepal as advisors. They had an arms build up with the Soviet Union. And they dictate governance to Mongolia and North Korea.
China has also slaughtered millions of their own people through starvation, revolution, and ill reasoned war. They have fought against the United Nations, and threaten routinely to nuke peaceful neighbors. They helped North Korea and Pakistan aquire nuclear weapons. They routinely flaunt UN weapon sanctions.
There is a very good reason to worry about China is space. China is going to space for nationalist, political and militarist reasons.
You'll love my journal then. http://slashdot.org/~Stargoat/journal.
Check it out. I write about the PRC, the ROC, and a good deal of other things most folks don't pay attention to.
Suicide attackers got the US out of Iran. Suicide attackers got the US out of Lebanon. Suicide attackers got the US out of Somalia. Suicide attackers kept the US out of Iraq the first time around, and they're well on their way kicking the US out again. That's a successful record.
The problem is not US ideology, or that the US is morally correct. The US is. The problem is that the US is unwilling to stand up and fight for freedom. And when it does, it just backs down after a couple of months.
Not all terrorists are drooling fanatics in funny clothes. Most have a sense of self preservation.
Interestingly enough, the drooling fanatics are the most successful. Regardless of how you say it, the "drooling fanatics" are brave. They do believe in something, and it is very difficult to stop someone who is willing to die for his cause.
Especially when his foes are stupid Americans (or Israelis) who are unwilling to think about what they themselves have, what they themselves do not have, and what they themselves are fighting for.
If it was even packed tightly, not wet or damp, and properly fused. Sounds like these scientists really overestimated the destructive power of black powder.
Explosive technology wasn't as precise back then. There was a lot more that could go wrong.
You dumbass prick ignorant anoyomous coward. Look at my journal. I know more about China than your parents who came from there. I'm white, but I might as well be Chinese. I speak the language, I'm married to a Chinese, my inlaws are Chinese. I lost family in the revolution and during the Great Leap Forward.
As for you, you asshole PRC (or KMT) fuck, the Taiwanese can declare independence whenever they want. They are defacto independent. They don't need to answer to the PRC or the KMT. When they declare true independence, that will be a mighty fine day for Wilsonian democracy.
So look, read and listen before you decide to talk to me about this.
As for your submarine, perhaps you wondered what 70+ men were doing on a sub designed for 50 men? Or maybe you can guess what actually happened.
As for your coal mines, it's estimated that over 5000 men die in them every year in China. The one's we hear about are just the one's we're told about.
As for me, I read Sina.com and Taipei Times every day. I read more pages about China a day than you do in a month.
They don't care, as long as you keep your mouth shut. For example though, remember Bo Yang? (I take it you're from Taiwan)
Chiang Kai-Shek tossed him away for 8 years for writing The Ugly Chinaman. The PRC would have shot him. Now, Bo Yang is a national treasure in Taiwan, and the PRC would still shoot him.
Nah. Didn't miss the point, and I know what Ashcroft is up to. That's why I donate to the ACLU. That's also why I support Clark for President (the Democrat who can beat Bush)
I don't really want to be a Democracy, and I suspect you don't either. A Democracy is like high school, but instead of the popular kids beating you up, they beat your family up, and take everything you have. Then, it slowly becomes a not-democracy.
What we need is respect for the Constitution in America. Enough of this BS of Congress passing laws that are unconstitutional and the President signing off on them. Congressmen should be fined or punished or something similar every time a law is found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. That would get them back to passing good laws quickly.
You fool. You sorry sorry fool. You have no idea how good you have it.
Until you've seen the face of a person terrified at the idea of meeting any police, or a person shaking after getting a ticket, or a person afraid to talk to anyone in government, then you should talk.
We are free. We are very free. You can walk up to the White House and picket it. You can drive your truck with a rifle in the back. You can say what you want on the Internet. You can read the books you want.
Even if another terrorist attack occurs, do you think they're going to take these liberties away? No. The government won't. In fact, they can't. Because people like myself speak up and let people like you know what is going on. Because people like myself are armed and watching.
Our founding fathers knew what they were doing a hell of a lot better than you give them credit for.

Not much of a mistake though, considering. Remember the crude instruments he was working with. And the intellectual confines.
It's a wonder that he did so much.

Maybe having her website slashdotted will make her cry.
Odd how China releases these 'cyber dissidents' less than a week before Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visits the US.
This ought place him square on your enemies' list. He's also been in support of the SCO as his son whores, excuse me, works for them.
He also has been in support of the RIAA, the MPAA, and pretty much everyone else we'd call evil around here.
Orrin Hatch (R UTAH) is a very bad man. Plus, he's a jackass.

I believe that the proper reaction is: "About Fucking Time."

PS - My wife says to learn some real history.

Fair enough. No hard feelings.
You can say it on the Internet, and not have your computer impounded.
You can declare for all to see that you hate George Bush and not be shot for it.

Communism is a philosophy that has made men dictators because it was designed to be a philosophy to make men dictators.
China is just better practiced at it. They've had thousands of years of Emperors terrorizing the countrysides to get good at being a fascist state.
If you want to talk about China, check out my journal. And look at this article about Hu, in particular.
