observe iran. how they are increasingly radicalizing and suppressing any kind of modern thought or movement and also arming themselves.
turkey is a much more established and technological country. in case of a radicalization, its harmful effect to entire world would be much more greater, multitudes of iran.
no you dont need strict islamic countries. but, they just wont stay where they are. islamic radicalism is not something self contained. its contagious AND aggressive.
why are we waiting for a lackey of the copyright industry to make a shitty comment or release a dubious 'research' in order to take any action ? Why arent eff and similar organizations taking the initiative and producing research, education and publicity in regard to new ways of the digital age ?
its just stupid. we are just waiting. some idiot lays an egg, and we all go after to cleanse the resulting shit. instead we should be moving forward.
such kind of people harm society in multitudes of ways than they support it with their charities. imagine - this guy practically wants everyone to be tracked. totally oblivious to the danger that any and all governments or private interests can use tracking technology to suppress online dissent, any kind of dissent, even himself, expressing opinion that would conflict with the government in future. put this risk on the other side of the counter opposite of his charity... a huge imbalance.
no sir. we are better off without such 'charitable' people. go fucking die in a corner, bono. you are little different than a charitable frenchmen advocating absolute monarchy in 1789.
this thing doesnt just stay the place you leave it. fundamentalism is something restless. once they take over, they increasingly radicalize everyone, eliminate anyone they cant, and then look outside their borders. just like what happened, and what is happening in iran.
even before they reached their goal in turkey, they have been saying that their real target was europe, and then the world.
despite not being kept poor, at least 30 to 40% of people in turkey are striving for a strict islamic society. another 20 to 30% of them are looking for a stricter, conservative society. dont need to tell you that all these come with considerably less freedoms. these people are making heaps of money via 'islamic' corporations engaging in manufacturing and trade. yet, they are still striving for such a hardliner life.
the most ironic part is that what fuels and enables their enrichment and radicalism has been the unregulated free market conditions pressured onto turkey by the united states republican governments through supporting right wing political parties here.
People don't want to be oppressed. Look at what happened to countries in the iron curtain. Their economy fell apart, people wanted civil rights, they protested and an oppressive government fell.
that was europe. it has a different culture. it is not happening in other parts of the world. see china. indonesia. see india. see turkey. people are going for more extreme.
she says india 'values free speech', but they are 'weighing' the 'harm of free speech' against..... well the rest is not important.
hey, google spokeswoman. next time you say something like 'harm of free speech', dont continue the sentence. shut the fuck up. because when you say 'harm of free speech', it means you totally screwed up.
your shitty polished words made your company lose more pr than if anything wasnt said. next time, either shut the fuck up, or tell your company to make someone else but you speak about it.
The only way I could really respond to this would be to call you a Little Hitlerian Maoist who has drilled a little hole in his little red book to enjoy every night. But you've exhausted your quota of attention.
whooaaaaaa hahahaha. now now.
To be frank, it makes me happy to see Sweden being steadily on the path to being fucked, because so many Swedes are assholes, and it's the only way (although I guess even that won't be sufficient and they will blame sabotage and external enemies - which you do, congrats) for them to realise how idiotic their policies have been.
apparently you are taking me as a swede. which further signifies how skewed your understanding and viewpoint are. for, im not a swede. im not near sweden either. im not even in europe in practice either. im in turkey, and hence looking from an unbiased, remote viewpoint.
but, i will just leave you to drivel in your right wing kookery. audieu.
I bow to your credibility and respectability. Oh wait, I am actually European and have never lived in the US. This does not mark you as an idiot AT ALL, because as a liberal, progressive and educated European you could never be a judgemental and ignorant stereotyper who jump quickly to conclusions about people based on their country of origin. Certainly not if they were African anyway, but maybe American?
if you dont want to be taken as a right wing nutjob american, DONT talk like one.
I thought it was how the Sweden Democrats, a self-described nationalist (in the National-Socialist Hitlerian sense) party who believes that cultures should belong to a single country, got 7.4% of the poll votes, up from 4.9% 3 months ago and 0 some time before that.Or how the racist Salem march got delayed by the police because they had to root out the storage crate of metal batons that progressive liberals had stored in the forest, together with a stack of gas masks to supplement their black scarf face covers. Of course, as Swedes the leader of your biggest party is Mona Sahlin, who has said some great things about your country: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mona_Sahlin
yea, this small outstanding example here, this small outstanding example there. if you take that route, it will take days for me to list the infrigements on freedoms and liberties that has happened in america in that sense, and in many other senses as well. its the end result, and the average that matters.
Funny, I remember a case where four 15-year old girls beat up a 14-year old girl they had bullied from some time and locked her in a shed, then approached an immigrant with finger language to make him an offer, after which he followed them to the shed and raped the girl and paid the four 200 NOK for their helpful service as agreed. And where a young Norwegian girl in an immigrant neighbourhood told about how she wished she was still a virgin, so that she wouldn't be bullied as much and seen as a worthless and dirty whore by those she lived amongst. Of course, since there are no problems in Scandinavia, these must be stories I have made up just to be silly. Please, tell me how they are all lies about the great and safe Scandinavian countries.
funny. i thought exceptions did not make a rule, but apparently, in your skewed reality, they do. i also thought psychopaths and sociopaths existed in every single fucking country regardless of its level, but, apparently, scandinavian countries are exempt from this reality of our world.
please make up such 500 stories that happened in the last year, and you will have your point.
Was it America that screwed over the Swedish governments boosting government salaries to the level that could only be sustained in a credit bubble? Was it America that forced you to give crazy credits to the Baltics? And of course, states that do not believe in America at all, like Venezuela, have done much better out of this, or? The problem with having a lot of rage but locating the sources of problems in the wrong places is that after you destroy those sources you still have the problems.
yea, it was america. if you are under the delusion that it wasnt, take up some reading and learn some reelpolitik and economics. every single fucking individual trusted america and its laws and its corporate world, because there was NO REASON to not trust that a first world country would allow blatant, global scale scam to happen. everyone jumped on the bandwagon, not excluding china, britain, switzerland, for, then the deal looked LEGIT. every single fucking financial institution who could jump on the bandwagon did, BECAUSE IF YOU DIDNT DO IT YOU WOULD BE LEFT FAR BEHIND. that is the nature of business and economics. if you dont jump on a proper, legitimate trend that is occurring, you just vanish from the market. and because everyone thought a whole cou
it is undeniable that internet sprung up from arpanet, however its progress has been global. if you are not aware, the entire www thing was from switzerland. which kinda basically forms the majority of interactions on the net.
he keeps on using internet for everything. he doesnt object to being linked in forums/content sites using open source scripts for their engine, he doesnt object to using google, which not only uses numerous open source elements to power its operation but also provides open source back to the community, he probably is thrilled when someone gets to buy his books by finding him the through the searches google provides, and many many more.
well, see, mr novelist, apparently you either dont know zit on what you are writing about, or just one of those who want everything self-centric.
if you want to prove otherwise, drop your usage of ANYthing that includes open source. including google, any and all links it provides to your novels/ebooks, any potential traffic/sales you get from forums/sites using phpbb and the similar open source engines. and then lets talk. else, youre just another bastard to us.
are you americans arent able to realize that internet has become a global place still to the extent that you think staggering majority of people here are americans ?
get over yourselves. you are living in a global world and its name is internet.
america, the country of freedoms, boo boo left, left is no freedom etc etc in the china porn crackdown thread by the right wing nutjobs.
i see, america is a right wing country, where you are 'free' and you are 'private'. yet, apparently those privacy and freedom are all in the hands of private corporations, instead of state it seems.
if i would have to make a choice, i would rather have my freedoms in the hand of the state, instead of some fucking private party. at least, i have a legal claim to the state, whereas, i dont have shit of a claim against a private party.
whereas its parent, which is a comment that stands exactly on the same distance to the right of the spectrum, is modded insightful.
since both comments employ the same approaches but from the other side, this only implies that the moron who used the mod point on the parent has modded it down with political bias. appalling to see such low quality brains exist among us.
'socialist crackpots'. this is the first phrase in your post. it renders your post SO credible and respectable that it goes beyond calculation.
and in addition, there is the ignorance that renders much respectability to your post. without knowing any other country other than your own america, which you believe that the best country on earth because YOU WERE TOLD IT TO BE SO, you are totally devoid of any knowledge about how europe has been living under left governments in the majority of the last 60 years, and what kind of freedom and standard of living they attained.
let me tell you what hit the constitutional court in sweden just a few months ago, and resolved as a nationwide issue ; it was decided that it was inalienable right of swedish women to be topless on beaches and pools, and noone could force them to cover their breasts. not insurance. not healthcare. not freedom of speech. not any wrongdoing by government people. this was one of the biggest recent issues in sweden. the freedom of speech and choice you think you have in your country is like bread and butter there.
and in the place you put out as a bad example, norway, which went far out to say that state does better raising children than their parents, is another show of ignorance. children have no worries there. it doesnt matter whether they are raised or not even. work, standard of living, freedoms are guaranteed. yet, in your america, where parents raise their children oh so properly, you have millions of radicals raising millions of kids estranged from the society, in a spectrum ranging from mild racist to mormon.
excuse me, but mr. mccarthy, your time has passed. success of european countries and the recent unimaginable SCAM that your corporate world has pulled off globally, shred all credibility to the 'america is best place to be' bullshit we have been feeding by arrogant americans all around the world. now the wise ones do not even open their mouths to utter any similar shit, only you right wing nutjobs remain blabbering the same 50 year old tune.
it fills a very important need slot : fast, small, web capable device that you can carry around and with capabilities of a normal low end office pc.
as long as people are on the move and need to connect to web from a capable device (of the capabilities of a pc), that need will never cease. its not about 'social networks' or anything, its about a very common need.
i dont know from where the shitty need to link everything with social networks and whatnot comes. probably they are just playing along with the fad.
the nintendo party i mean ? by creating a stampede which the net community wouldnt like, they had advertised the thing in a way they couldnt even if they have spent tens of millions of bucks
thats why it is there. and, fuck nintendos strong arming legal team. if anything, they made the company lose much more in value in PR than they made save in zelda's image.
i mean, let go of some principles. like, respecting copyright ownership, patent rights and so on and pirate their products like there is no tomorrow. i bet they would go berserk if we did that wouldnt they. and maybe they deserve such a hypocrisy for their own hypocrisy.
So what? Have you switched to complaining about work being performed on desktop PCs?
unreliable. a normal user pc that is prone to crash and mixups, handles my sensitive data. yea, im against this, and this was exactly why i was condemning the use of office documents to handle sensitive data.
evidence ? we dont have any evidence to the contrary of that too. only 1 skeleton. yet, academicia is way fast in deducting extinction and even stupor of a species from it. we dont even know what were their genetics affecting brain structure. all is being deduced based on homo sapiens sapiens.
species which have destroyed themselves through a possible disaster ? i mean, look at us, we have been at the brink of totally annihilating our own species since 1945. its a miracle it didnt happen, intentionally or by accident.
who says progress has always been forward ? who says the civilization wasnt blasted back to bits, and then again risen ? who says that what we have been able to find, arent the last remainders of a civilization/society which destroyed itself ? if wwiii happened, im sure there would be surviving small communities of humans around the world, only to die off eventually.
arent we rather arrogant and self indulged in expecting that any form of 'civilization' should exist by our standards ?
how do we know exactly whether they used decomposable material in their technological tools and all the equipment went back to nature after they disappeared ?
how do we know that whatever remains we find from their bodies are not from people who were buried in their 'burial grounds', or deposed of according to whatever tradition they have ?
how do we know that what population we were able to find were not the victims of some kind of disaster, natural or unnatural that caused their demise apart from their brethren around the world, whose remains we are not able to find yet ?
you are talking about average iq of 150 here. AVERAGE iq. not maximum iq. einstein's iq was estimated in between 160 and 180. this is basically saying that every single individual in this society was an practically an einstein. this aint no joke - since iq is a measure of the cognitive ability of recognizing relations and interactions in between the concepts and elements present in our nature, it would be utterly stupid to say that these people were not able to cope up with their natural environments. even early humans, which were unimaginably stupider compared to these, were able to cope up with nature by residing in caves and using clubs and simple spears to hunt and gather. if a comparably stupid early human was able to conceive a spear and hunt with it, leave aside realizing to collect food from the bushes, its a given that these species should have been more than able to do much more better in using tools to cope up with their environment.
there are underground cities which consist of more than 7 levels deep down, which has upper levels that can accommodate more than 50.000 people in western anatolia. its not know what lies even below, because beyond a certain level is rather dangerous to venture forth, due to various gases accummulated over millenium. tourists are only allowed to visit upper levels, lower levels are sealed. it is guessed that there is space for 250.000 people or so, and all the scattered complexes around a huge zone is interlinked at some level. it was said that these underground complexes were constructed by early christians escaping roman persecution, however recently it became evident that their numbers and technological means would not be able to create such a huge underground complex in the period they have been forced to escape persecution of society. (basically like from 50-100 AD to 250 AD or so).
then there are rumors and legends of even bigger complexes in various parts of the world, one being around tibed.
so then, how do we know exactly that those species died out ?
or rather, isnt it beyond stupid to assume that what we found merely by scratching the surface of our planet can paint us a surefire picture of what happened back in distant past ? the world is such a huge place, and there is much more stuff buried underground that we couldnt find yet, than we did.
