    T-mobile is off the list of products I will buy. I have no other way of disaproving of the fans that support that team. I don't respect the fans, so I can't respect the product. I will not support their team no matter how good the riders are.

    Actually it was "Germans" not French persons. That is quoting Lance, and the Race Director who saw it up close. It was lougies not spit. They were tossing stuff as well. Pretty sad. I will never purchase and T_Mobile product after hearing this as these were T-Mobile supporters. "Drunk Germans" is one quote I heard made. The French love the underdog as many of us do and of course will root for them. This is their race, in their country. They can be proud to host the biggest and best cycle race in the world. In every little town the people were out appaluding all the riders. Actually the French have a class act when it comes to le Tour de France. They were not spitting on riders. It was the damm tourists.

    Hmmm -1 to zero? Now how is this 0 material. It refers to articles that cover the subject. And points out the reality of actual non-comercial SMS use. It makes a statement about the chinnese communist oligarcy.

    It's moderated "overrated"

    How is a normal post overrated. Overated moderation is for a post that has been modded up but doesn't deserve it in the Moderators opinion. The Moderator has (a) never read the guidelines (b) Is dishonest (c) drug addled. (d) am member of the Communist Chinnese Oligarchy. I am going for (b). I meta moderate everyday. I often leave posts unmoderated as I don't agree or dissageree with the moderation or just don't know. I know who ever moderated this needs to re read the moderation guidelines. If you don't know how to Mod don't

    If my example of actual SMS text is true, and I think it is, it is mostly trivial stuff. How many actual "dissidents" are using them to organize and spread political rumors? I bet zero. These people know they are being monitired and use less dectable methods. "Aunt Woo fell down. Come to the hospital soon." That message could mean something totally different if you wanted it to.

    * The government, with the most powerful army in the world

    Whats that got to do with a civil revolution in the United States? This always comes up and I debate it's correctness.

    First it isn't really the most powerful army in the world but, it would like you to think so. If it was why would it be calling up a huge number of "ready reserve"/people who have left service? It's more that no one wants to chalenge it currently. Despite all the noise from world governments about a "rouge US". Not one has put their military where their mouth is against the Unites States and the "war on terror." The US military has technology but that isn't stopping tribesmen in Iraq or Afganistan from shooting at them or blowing stuff up.

    Despite propaganda the people who serve in the military have good bullshit detectors when it comes to domestic US politics. You might find a few that would go up against a real and popular armed civil uprising but the majority would be fighting along side the civilians. The same goes for most cops. If you don't know very many you really don't know how true this is. At worst they might stay in their bases and tell the "government" to suck eggs.

    Lastly your remarks about "some hillbilly and his musket" shows your lack of information as to actually owns most firearms and a biased preconception about the politics and lifestyle of said persons. I am giving you the benifit of the doubt and not suspecting real prejudice here. I think you really need to get more facts and depend less on assumptions, politics and, your "comfort level" when you say things like this. I think you might find that others have missled you for thier own political reason as to what is really what in this respect.

  13. Don't make her MAD you'll be sad. on China Will Monitor, Censor SMS Messages · · Score: 1, Interesting

    this gal looks like she would be pissed if she lost one SMS text.

    The whole Ap article here.

    My typical text message is "Hi Sweetheart I miss you. I watered the plants. The cats are being weird." Cost about 10 cents, a phone call to do the same thing costs 25 or more cents. We use pre-paid Virgin Mobile. If I have to leave a phone number to have her call someone she doesn't have to dig for a pen and paper. This is mostly about 98% of all non business texting.

    If China thinks it needs to monitor and censor this kind of crap it really shows how fearful the oligarchy is of loosing it's grip. It's going to spend a lot of time and effort staring at white noise.

    No, Leni Riefenstahl's 1930's work has a visual impact that made her famous. It wasn't just the propaganda that made her notable. Her work is considered art even though the NAZI system it served was totally depraved and wrong. Moore isn't even in the same class in any respect.

    Shouting down. The extremes are dominating political discourse in the US. They shout each other down and talk over each other. They talk at each other (watch the Sunday news shows). The populace is turned off by this along with the political prevarications of both major US political parties most persons simply will not participate any more. They have tuned out, turned off and, dropped out. So you just get the extreme views and no discourse. That is what you see here. There is zero good will so there is no discourse.

    The lies of Michael Moore. By Christopher Hitchens at MSNBC/Slate pretty much sums up my opinion of this "film." Hitchens is hardly a lightweight, a conservative or Bush lover.

    A fat ass millionare with an agenda, that pretty much describes Mr Moore. Why should I trust any millionare.

    I find him personally revolting and gross. It's like he never passes up a Burger King, since he just has to have it his way. Very few people make me feel creepy, Moore makes me feel creepy.
