    Saddam was apparently lead to believe he could attack Kuwait without consequence, it could have been stopped before it started.

    There was no good reason for US to enter Afghanistan, the whole exercise was completely futile, US is mostly leaving now with more Afgans hating America more than ever.

    US goes to war to keep the corporate military machine going, if America stopped going to war it's economy would take a dive.

    "Voting works perfectly well"

    US and UK have 1st past the post systems which do a rubbish job of *representing* the people, any vote for a third party is completely wasted in most voting areas.

    So, no - current voting systems do not work petfectly well.

    First, though it's contrary to the /. groupthink, because Google actually cares quite a lot about user privacy.

    Lol, are you joking. YouTube, trying very hard to force users to use their real name, then trying to ram Google-Plus down everyone's throat. These services give out masses of information and you have to turn off the annoyances of things like gmails 'available' for chat. I can't even comment on my own videos because of where I told them to shove google-pus.

    To be clear, the ISP has committed a criminal act (fraud), it is obtaining financial gain by deception - the concealment of the fact that no person willingly used an affiliate link.

    I think that if they weren't prosecuted then they committed a crime and got away with it. The victims being the retailers and any legitimate affiliates who lost out (if that is the case).

    'They became violent.'

    According to the story 1 person became violent and attacked property, and with 'they became violent' you unfairly called them all violent, a word which is most often used to describe actions which physically harm people.

    Gov't agents have a history of infiltrating organisations and promoting or committing violence in their name in order to discredit them, you should remember that before blaming the action of 1 person on the whole group that they claim to represent. /they're still all idiots though, the supply and demand of housing is down to the gov't and property developers, not a few of Google's minions.

    That is worthy of a counter-lawsuit, if you were to crowd-fund one, I'd gladly chip in. Counter lawsuits need to happen more often because it seems that these cases of extortion are happening more often, probably because of the insane statutory damages payouts awarded in the USA.

    Are you aware that some trackers give out fake IP addresses to foil those who try to attack the working of the torrent. If all the company has against you is a time and an IP address then they don't have enough - insufficient evidence. The company has to prove that two-way communications happened between your computer and another sharing the files, not the 1-way communication which is ip-address only aka fake.

    The cause is known but for some reason some countries refuse to take the necessary action - ban the harmful pesticides, fungicides and stop over-working the bees.

    Here in Britain we have a history of allowing poisons - MDF, air pollution, pesticides, Asbestos, trans-fats, BPA, a whole slew of nasty shit that are called food additives, if banning anything causes some company to lose money then it isn't banned.

    Maybe the psychopathic fuckers should not push lifestyles at all, they push you to achieve happiness through consumerism, something that doesn't work.

    Perhaps they are blocking with DNS which I set up manually, if so then I hope they keep it that way. What worries me is that the cost of other blocking methods will fall to near zero and the likelihood that they will block VPN services increases. I can't see them blocking all VPN's though, as others mentioned they are a business necessity.

    As for 'trading identity', my understanding is that when BT bought Plusnet, they left them running as a separate entity rather than amalgamate them. Plusnet
