Yeah, my bad. Sorry about that. I hadn't had time to really process exactly how stupid that site was before I hit submit, and would remove it from the submission if that was at all possible. I apologize for that supreme fuckup, and offer you this much more compelling piece (which I should have linked to instead.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Many of the people dropping bombs and firing hellfire missiles TODAY are Christians of one stripe or another. In a large part, they are the root cause of this jihad.
You may be correct that the summary is a little misleading, but I think C-13 is only addressed in one of the 3 main stories linked. Preventative detention & making certain forms of speech illegal are new ideas, as far as I understand, and are separate responses. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - I'm just a guy stuck in Costa Rica trying to make sense of this all from afar.
It's not even the weasel words (though there are many.) It's the fact the constitution doesn't really exist and so the government/courts can declare it to be basically whatever they want whenever they want.

You don't have to be cynical - they are totally upfront about the fact that they had these already written and were just waiting for the right time. Hell, they boast about it, as though it makes the legislation better.
Thanks for the kind words.
I realize now that I forgot to mention it in the submission, but as a Canadian I was surprised to find that the very best analysis of this current situation came from Russel Brand, who I'd honestly never watched before, but was overwhelmingly prescient in his analysis (even if he does bounce about like a caffeinated meth head)

Not really sure why I should go to the trouble of properly formatting with paragraph tags, italics and footnotes (using Slashdot's own markup conventions) just to have the editors strip it all out again before pushing to the front page. If you want to optimize for mobile, just remove the option to use markup tags in the first place.
Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager
Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"...
Damn kids. They're all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain,
ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what
made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?
I am a hacker, enter my world...
Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of
the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...
Damn underachiever. They're all alike.
I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain
for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms.
Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."
Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is
cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I
screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me...
Or feels threatened by me...
Or thinks I'm a smart ass...
Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...
Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.
And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through
the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is
sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is
found.
"This is it... this is where I belong..."
I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to
them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...
Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...
You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at
school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip
through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or
ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us will-
ing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.
This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying
for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and
you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek
after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color,
without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals.
You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us
and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is
that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
for.
I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual,
but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

Can we get a Transmet movie (ideally with Larry David as Spider) already?
Good catch. You must be very concerned about ethics in games journalism.
Used to be you could get a plow attachment for your jeep.
Negro hair-straightener recipes too. Plus a million other toxic "remedies" made with reagents you need a federal license to secure these days.
I wonder if they'll be as strict as the FBI about not hiring people who've "pirated" music or TV shows.
Mineral oil was the first thing I thought of as well.
The shooter had a known history of drug abuse.
If nothing else, maybe we can at least slashdot 'em.

You got a source on that? I want to check it! (not calling you out - genuinely interested)

Are you saying that all Irish-Americans are drag queens?
Thank you. Would mod this up if I could.
Actually, the cheapest legal way is to use a torrent site. Not everyone is in America, you insensitive clod.

We all want things we can't have.
Best first post in a long while. Well done.

Almost like this story has a half-life of some insane number of years...
