    Perhaps none have you have notices but personally there is only "Aluminium Foil" available pubilicy, I think the governemnt/aliens are in koohts with the tin-foil manufacterers so that you have the illusion of protection.

    And we had to climb uphill both ways for 20 miles to go to scholl, we didn't have no Rolly-coasters, we had to climb up the side of a mountain and jump off! Shooting our spines right through our skulls and gosh darnit we liked it.

  6. Re:Simpleton on China Releases Cyber Dissident · · Score: 1

    Perhaps all of you should look at the reforms happing currently. Yes china has the cheapest labour, yes they also have 1 billion people however. They have one of the lowest crime rates, and with the economic and democratic reforms in the works they will far outshine the US (or so the WTO perdicts). Yes they have cheap labour but they also have a verticly integrated macro economy (Somthing all western countries lack). The Chinese realize that Hong Kongs success is a result of british rule and operating under diffrent rules isin't always a bad thing. I'm not condoneing the actions of thier Government, freedom of religon is still a pretty big issue there. (See Falun Dafa) Then again if your anything but christian in the US then you may be a terrorist! (Re: Patriot Act) Besides Terrorisam is a sign of bad forign policy, and if the US haden't tried to remove all the "Communist" factions around the world by providing military aid to bodies like the Jihad perhaps they wouldn't have a problem with terrorists now would they? There's also one other BIG diffrence between communist and "Democratic" governments, at least in the communist countries the public is generally aware that they are bieng fed propoganda, in the US they call it the news, or elections or whatever.

    Here is the Litigation on Tarrif-22 Well they are trying to levy Bell, AT&T and Sprint (Internet Access Providers).

Also Bell, AT&T, Rogers, Sprint have very good teams of layers, once they recive wind of this the CRTC's involvement will be quite messy and amuseing :)

    Well, First T'was IBM's fault for producing bad unix. Secondly companies failed at markeing Unix. Now We live under the microsoft flag, should the winds fail we'll replace it whith somthing we think is lighter and then watch it grow until it's own weight becomes too much for the wind. Doesn't matter which flag you fly, they all eventually become too big, too incompatable and utterlly deploreable in thier attemts to gain market share. This could happen to linux if Red-hat get's a large enough market share. The only diffrence is the OpenSource community.

  23. Re:This is great... on Satellite TV From a Moving Car · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's bad enough American parents can't raise children without using the TV as a babysitter now they ensure the successful brainwashing during road trips. (Your right I'm not a parent and I think there should be a number of tests involved like can you afford to send them to university? Will you have the time required to teach and train them a good moral fabric? Will you read to them every night?..yes I think testing should be involved prior to having children, but than again where would the lower classes come from overseas?)
    I don't watch TV (of any kind) and neither should you, if your children cannot read then fine install a DVD and at least CONTROL the content that makes it into those precious impressionable cerebellums. Instead of having them surf the satellite waves for more capitalist indoctrination via network syndication and marketing plans?
    Then again, it's a car, what ever happened to 100 bottles of beer? The horse game? and other fun road trip pastimes that foster communication and no wait this is the information age, why not just get an uplink and jack-in?

    In the US;
    Kids having kids, the restriction and perdomanant conservative base ruleing what's good for children, when thier own parents let the television raise matarialistic un-ethical, self obbsessed and often obese consumers. This will simply stimulate an even greater young parent population by restricting access. Parent's don't talk to their kids about sex, sex eductaion lacks funding, sexual awareness programs are slim to none, teen pregnacy is higher in the US than any other G8 member. Yet, as a country they consume more pornography than any other industiralized power in the wold. Hugh Hephener said it best "Americans are schizophrenic when it comes to sex". On one side every body is using it as a marketing tool, on the other no one wants to admit to it. You really want to stop pedophelia, well start by getting rid of the church, then any child related organizaiton, then go after the jhon's and see that they get psyciatric help. But that would be a libreal, leftist approach of which the bi-partizan polotics in the U.S. are compeletely incapable of. They should ship pedophiles to chinese prisons. You think levenworth is bad...they will get brainwashed.
