Sick, yes, but there is no reason he should not be allowed to proselytise (sp?) fucking boys. Fucking boys-wrong. Saying how amazing/unamazing fucking boys is-freedom of speech.
Again, freedom of speech is for everyone, not just for those who conform to the cultural norm.
In any event, a united Europe would be just that: a unity of lots of different cultures under one banner. Nothing would be destroyed, just strengthened, and much more diverse.
Damn smart guy is Manson, when off the mic he gets far less credit than he deserves (and "you're all slaves to a god that doesn't exist" is probably one of the most truthful things I've heard:)
The EU will, in the near future, probably be something of a United States of Europe; something that can finally kick some ass in getting America's dominance as a hyperpower felled. They're doing some amazing shit, including bitchslapping Microsoft and increasing individual nation's economic strength. They also do a lot to aid health issues and diversity.
I can understand their motives: racism is a horrible thing, be it whites discriminating against blacks or (more rarely) vice versa, but sadly I have to side with the US on this one: freedom of speech for everyone. I hope the EU does a U-turn on this idea, as I really would like to see the USA given a kick up the goatse.
For instance, in the UK the predominant far-right party is the BNP (good site with background info and just how insane they are here). I, along with many others, believe them to mostly be racist wankers led by people with convictions for nailbombing and inciting racial hatred-and the government agrees with me. However, the government also does not want to crack down on the BNP and ban it outright, as to do so would be an infringement on freedom of speech.
This is the way it should be done: freedom of speech is a human right, which should not be denied to anyone willy-nilly, be they racist Nazi shits or far left Communist hippies.
Free speech applies to everybody, and that includes neo-Nazis and racists. I am in no way supporting neo-Nazis and racists, but they still have the right to disseminate things and the right to free speech no matter how stupid their thinking is.
Censorship of any kind is just the start of a slippery slope.
Well, that sounds legitimate. And they only sell to military people and the police, who I'm sure are DYING to get a hold of this jok^H^H^Hevil deadly weapon of terror.
Any bets this site is by a 10 year old with far too much time on their hands?
A lot of the pages seem to be filled with snide jokes about Microsoft (like on the KDE & GNOME page: "You can only have one DE on Windows, as exemplified by their address: One Microsoft Way") and there's lots of flamebait as well.
Obviously it will improve over time, but hopefully sharpish.
Aside from the fact that MSN Messenger is a POS right now compared to AIM (they only just got buddy icons, fer christs sake), and that nobody outside us uses or has heard of Jabber, I'd say you've got a solid point.
Now that's irony: a dictator in a system diametrically opposed to democracy offering a truly insightful comment on how we've fucked up, and being correct about it.
If Communists commenting on democracy are making sense, you know something's screwed up.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but this sort of thing gets under my skin. I've heard the same retarded crap all my life from people like that, and it's one of many things that really pisses me off./no more rants:)
You think typing text characters into an e-mail or on IRC is the same as actually speaking to somebody in person right in front of you, staring them in the face?
Yes, you insensitive friggin' clod.
I see no fucking difference. They are the same words, being sent to the same fucking people, just over a different medium. What you are saying is "you can't have a social life unless you meet face to face".
I CALL BULLSHIT. I have more online friends than offline, and am quite happy that way.
Socializing on a computer isn't the same as socializing in person. Comparing it to an afternoon at the pub with your workmates his hilaroius. You may as well say you're actually "speaking" to me right now, and it's the same as if we actually ran into each other in person and started debating. Completely different.
It practically is speaking. Same words, different medium.
IM, IRC, and e-mail allow you to communicate with others without actually confronting them face to face.
Exactly. You just summed it right the fuck up.
I have Asperger's syndrome. I find it hard to talk to people face to face. Over the Internet, it's much easier, and as I said above I have more online friends than offline. Don't give me the same retarded bullshit about it "not being the same thing"-it is.
In the 70s, we had one muthafuckin' huge regulator: the IBA (Independent Broadcasting Authority). Rather than accepting complaints about a programme after the broadcast, the IBA pre-vetted its programmes. All was good, and the IBA regulated commercial TV (in the UK, ITV and Channel 4-NOT the BBC), commercial radio (again, not the BBC) and radio waves. This system worked well, and under it, everything worked brilliantly-some truly excellent programming was made under the IBA by ITV and the array of independent contractors that made up Channel 4's output. This went on until the early 90s when...
Thames TV showed a programme heavily critical of the Thatcher government called Death on the Rock, which referred to the army shooting two IRA men-Thatcher petitioned the IBA to not let Thames broadcast it, but they still did so in the interests of free speech. Thatcher was not best pleased, and in 1991 she kicked the living shit out of the IBA and aplit it up into several shitty little mini-regulators, like the ITC (Independent Television Commission), Radio Authority. These did not pre vet programmes, and instead accepted complaints after the event, after the damage was done, so to speak. This, coupled with Thatcher's deregulation, led to ITV becoming a veritable piece of shit. Think NBC is bad? Come over and watch ITV. It SUCKS PENIS. You need regulation and to go with it a good regulator, else things degenerate. All that the FCC needs is its rules updated and a good kick up the ass. They need to pre-vet programmes, but not to the AmeriPuritan standards-how about OUR standards? Standards which fucking WORK? Tell the jackasses who scream "ITS FOR TEH CHLDIFREN!!!!1" to fuck off and die, and not to get so cranky or pissed off when their kid sees a tit, and feel better when their kid sees blood, gore and aching death in The Passion Of Christ. Dammit, call for change!
Half of me says "get these perverts off the internet", because kiddie porn is wrong (in my mind anyway, anything not consensual is wrong, and kiddie porn == end result of child abuse == not consensual), half of me says "be cautious".
I don't use BT, I use NTL (who suck large, distended penis btw) and if they started censoring places which have criticisms of them (e.g now slashdot:) then they'd have one less customer. But on the whole, aside from the slippery slope aspects, I can't see the problem.
Slashdot Mirror
Note, also, that the pint is still in use across Britain.
Not completely destroyed then...
But in any event, metric is superior to imperial in almost every way, and basically the only people still tagging along with it are Americans. Hmm.

*sigh*
Because pounds and ounces are shite.
They are measurements which have no basis in ease of use or normalcy.
The day the world goes metric forever will be a good one.

Sounds like something he'd say.

No, don't fuck the EU.

I know it's unpopular, but it's true.

I have a stealth firewall.
There's something of the night about it.

Linux isn't really that much easier to download than Windows, if you Look in the right places :)
I just got a new cash card through, and just in time it seems!
:-\ )
(Although there's no money in the account, making the point moot

Now it can die with super SMP efficiency and at double the speed!

Just kidding, mods don't hurt me

Idiot.

At least our head of state doesn't make it his mission to kick the shit out of foreign relations and the environment.
Anyway, America really is likely to turn into a 3rd world country soon, as the US economy has been slowly deflating...see ya (or your job) in India

Uh, fool. What about MS's closed source Word viewer, which is free? Or even Wordpad?
Hey, that's offensive.
Crack smokers make sense. SCO doesn't.
