Lets get the facts straight: American soldiers opened fire at the car carrying the journalist and the agents, not the other way round. Saying that she's lying won't change that.
I'm sorry to hear that that's how you feel about your government - maybe you should vote differently next time?
Here in Scandinavia we tend to trust governmental institutions more than private ones, simply because any sort of scandal (bribery, abuse, etc.) not only has economical, but also political consequences. Hence, if an employee in the public system (which is rather large, compared the yours) is found guilty of some sort of abuse of his position, his whole department will be thoroughly investigated and there will probably be made some new rules (maybe even laws) in order to prevent it from happening again.
If a corporation misuses its position it can be fined, and some people might get thrown to jail. That doesn't prevent the next corporation in the line to do the same thing though.
Conclusion: Democratic (public) institutions/companies has a hgher incentive towards fighting corruption that private (non-democratic) have. Unless you of course think that the US public institutions aren't democratic...
I have several friends that have been a year in the US, studying at a high school (yes, the foreign exchange students that always seem senile in the hollywood movies,) and even the ones that I would hardly classify as "smart", "clever" or "hard-working" got very good grades. They also said that nearly all tests were multiple choice, opposed to the tests here in Denmark, where we usually have to write long explanations.
Now, don't flame me if I'm wrong. After all, I've never studied at a US high school myself. But is any of this actually true?

MFSA 2005-10 javascript: links launch Internet Explorer
We've had free certificates (OCES, SSL, whatever) here in Denmark for years. It's a project initiated by the government and the largest telecom here, TDC.
I happen to live in Denmark, and trust me, it's not the size that's the problem. The problem is that our minister of state from the once-liberal, right-wing party "Venstre" ("Left" in English, kinda confusing actually) has allowed the Danish People's Party, a bunch of rascists with close ties to the extreme right, to dictate the immigration laws in order to get their support in other areas.
And it's working. The government suddenly seems to be in favour of the patent law after Billyboy threatened to move the largest IT business in Denmark to the US.
And what's with Poland changing their mind?! I bet they've received an offer they couldn't resist, too.
Ahh, thank God for the freedom of western democracy!
They've got enough cash in the bank to run the business for decades if they never made another cent... They may not be the 800lb gorilla, but I don't know how you could possible predict a collapse.
I bet they said the exact same thing about Enron...
Dude, even if you go from 0 miles/hour to the speed of light you're still accelerating. The theory of relativity doesn't allow any matter to move with or above the speed of light.
I'm not saying that the theory of relativity is actually true, I bet it's a whole new story 50 years from now.
If you're travelling at a very high speed (close to the speed of light) your time would, from an outsider's point of view, be slower (i.e. a second would last longer in your spaceship/whatever than on the outsider's watch,) given that the outsider moves slower than you. This means that if you flew off into space at a very high speed and turned around and flew back to earth after, let's say, 5 minutes (on a watch in your ship,) earth would have aged several thousand years (i.e. you would have travelled forth in time.)
If you wanted to go back in time you would have to move faster than the speed of light, which is impossible unless you use some sort of wormhole (which is completely theoretical.)
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, it seems so.
What scares me is that the second post is a reply to the first one...
1. Clone dinosaur
2. Make theme park on deserted island
3. ?
4. Profit!
Stephen Spielberg would never lie to us!
Now I'm just waiting for the aliens to arrive...

So because she's communist she's automatically a liar?
Seriously...

I think there's already been made some progress - remember, the parliament didn't accept the first commision.
*cough* Berlusconi!
In France only old people read books...

We can even use it to pay our taxes! Yay!
I for one welcome our new martian sea monkey overlords.
Christmas light control systems
Do you mean an on/off switch?!
*cough* crazy Americans!
Have you *ever* been outside the US?! Only in America can a liberal be on the left wing...
... Which would make so much sense, since agriculture and fishing has so much to do with software...

Anti-immigration is nothing but rascism. Phew!

Nah, we have our own miniature version of the RIAA here in Denmark, raiding LAN parties and confiscating 13-year-old kids' PCs...

Don't you have a system that helps people unable to pay for their legal defense in the US? Boy, your legal system really *does* suck...
(i can't believe you trust that system enough to allow capital punishment)
