    It's not cheap when compared to some parts of the world! There, it is free, which is infinitely cheaper than any price.

    Depriving someone of physical property is nothing like copyright infringement. Even lawyers know that. Or are you more stupid than a lawyer?

  6. Re:Why should Iraqis hunt Saudis? on Wikileaks Founder Advised To Avoid American Gov't · · Score: 1

    You should read some history, too, as Iraq asked the US if it'd mind if it invaded Kuwait to secure the oil fields that were engaging in slant-drilling into Iraqi oilfields, to which the US responded that it doesn't have any opinion on Arab-Arab actions. If they'd said no, there's a very good chance that Iraq never would have invaded. I wonder if the US would sit by if a neighboring country would steal their resources?

    You fucking retard. Seriously. I had no idea your level of critical thought doesn't extend to the Pentagon. The "enemies" you say were fucking journalists, and some guys with AK-47s (perfectly legal in Iraq). So I guess when US medics help injured Iraqis, those medics should be shot? You are seriously asking for the bombing of US medical facilities that treat wounded Iraqis? How fucked-up is your head? It's logically-bankrupt attitudes like yours that started this whole fiasco, and apparently want it to continue indefinitely. Pathetic.

    Wow. There's a load of bullshit in that post. Firstly you are confusing Wahhabism with Islam, a common mistake for Americans. Also "collective punishment", the policy you are proposing, is so awful that it's outlawed by the Geneva Convention in military actions. The people being killed in the videos that have been (and will be) released show innocent people trying to survive, being killed for doing nothing more than living where they were born. You're a nice guy.

    Get a grip, old timer. Yes, similar concepts are still in play, but the capability of the new technology compared to 80s technology is worlds apart. So no, you don't know everything about Xen just because you know about 30-year-old IBM software. Wow. Your arrogance... it's astounding.

    You pay hundreds of times more for your healthcare which is only marginally better, at best, than that which is available to anyone in Cuba. I think that's the point. Are you really happy having this discussion? Doesn't the fact that you are having to defend US healthcare against Cuba's indicate that maybe not everything is OK in the US healthcare system? Oh, and if you lose your job or your insurer stops covering you, you'd beg to be treated in Cuba.

  14. Re:Slashdot Posters Want Pakistani Lawyer Executed on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are confusing "Islam" with "hardline Islam forged from unreasonable external pressures fucking with it for over a century, causing the people to latch on to anything they can to try to regain some sense of independence and power". Don't think for a second that Islam has had the same luxuries as Christianity or even Judaism. Sure, both other religions have had tough times, and when they did, things got ugly. Also, you might want to look up what Wahhabism is, and how it differs from moderate Islam. Your ignorance is showing.

    What are you smoking? Roads in Western Europe are fucking outstanding - they have the highest construction specifications of any countries in the world. Ever heard of the Autobahn?

    Idiot. If the US was a paradise of freedom with milk and honey for everyone, you'd have a point. As it is, in the US there are people dying from poverty, people losing their houses because they had the temerity to get ill, murder rates similar to developing nations, high infant mortality, and the highest jail population in the world. But please - keep on thinking socialism doesn't work. It's not as if the average American doesn't pay much taxes - they do! And what do they get for it? Fuck all. They still have to pay for healthcare (if they can), their police forces are full of under-trained idiots, and their armed forces are making more enemies than they can kill. The rest of the western world knows balanced socialism is the way forward, and will keep getting a better and better place to live. USA #1 - in delusion, it seems.
