The USA faces a new threat of their own chosing: Terrorism Yeah, some might argue that the "War against Terrorism" is simply an excuse to invade any country harboring terrorists (and strategic resources) or a ploy of the military industrial complex to keep the USA in an eternal war, but that's not the point. Let's assume that the USA wants to WIN for the purpose of this threat. How can the USA win this war? How can Terror bring the USA down to it's knees? &nbs...
... aren't the torrents. It's the correspondence! http://thepiratebay.org/legal The best ones are those where the non-pirates are really insistent, like the websheriff lawers: Subject: Re: Re : WHITE STRIPES / Pirate Bay - Torrents From: anakata To: Jgela1@aol.com Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 14:01:41 +0200 On Thu, 2005-05-26 at 06:11 -0400, Jgela1@aol.com wrote: > > Web Sheriff > Protecting Your Rights on the Internet &g...
Just saw this: Awesome! No more proof needed that he is Grand Cyclops of the Tinfoil Brigade. Epic Seduction Fail. Try to read her thoughts of him on her face. Glenn Beck screaming like a girl getting dumped by the Jonas Brothers. Starts at 3:38 for the preliminary screams but the epic yell comes at 3:52. It's really worth watching from the beginning. Beck finally meets his master ... or rather mistress. Hard to believe but it'...
Was just checking the Huffington Post for news and just saw this on the frontpage: I didn't manipulate this screeny - pure accident. And I don't think the articles were put like this deliberatly either.
US prisons are a business. Private coorporations build and manage prisons and get paid by the state to handle prisoners. This creates an immediate conflict of interest: The prison industry wants as many felons ar possible while the state prefers free taxpaying americans. To further increase revenue, prisoners are put to work. Now, that isn't a bad thing per se, but ask yourself this: Do you really want to tell a convicted murderer your name, address and credit card number? Becaus...
Jon Stewart the most trusted person in american news. Which is interesting because he isn't a news anchor and his show, The Daily Show , is hosted on Comedy Central. Anyway, some of my favorite moments. On October 15, 2004 Jon Stewart was a guest at political talk show Crossfire, an opportunity he used to tell the hosts that he mentioned among friends, in private and occasionally on TV, that he considers their show bad. Hilarity ensues. The show was canceled shortly ...
I wonder if Jesus can do a Kamehameha ... http://www.onemanga.com/Billy_Bat/14/01/
I got the impression that US-americans are generally opposed to the idea of a mandatory personal ID. Out of interest I want to ask: Why? What are the advantages of not having an ID? Is this aversion a republican/democratic or conservative/liberal thing?
This comparison grows more popular the longer it's repeated. To quote a fictional german Nazi: "You really think we'd make a nigger our Führer!?" The Obama/Hitler comparison is major bollocks. And regarding town hall "protesters" comparing the health care reform to "something that could have origined in early 30's germany": We evil germans got nationalized health care since 1883 courtesy of Fürst Otto von Bismarck.

While some conservatives claim that Obama wants to kill your granny I hesitate to accept that as Obamas sole reason for pushing the health care reform. From the private insurers point of view it makes perfect sense to oppose the reform ... if they didn't, they'd face an immense decline in profits if either the government option provides better care or if regulations bar insurers from avoiding costs by their current methods. But it's a bit too simplicistic to merely claim that one party act...
Shot at a "grassroots" rally against public health care in New Hampshire, USA. I suppose the guerilla protester had to run fast soon after the picture was taken. Check out the yellow sign in the back (thanks Neilo). A classic. He shalleth burn in hell along with his pron. That's mighty generous. No, I can't read that either. But seeing the protagonist from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya on a palestinian protest sign is just ...
Some may have seen the news that an evil pirate named Joel Tenenbaum took 30 songs hostage and was convicted due to this heinous crime. He was sentenced to pay 675,000$ for downloading and sharing 30 songs. This means, that the worth of each song amounts to 22,500$! Or in other words: If you get your hands on those songs, you are FILTHY RICH!!! Someone on the infamous PirateBay website recognized this and decided to help get other people rich. Thus strong is the generosity of those t...
Several users like to put their clans or other stuff bracketed in front of their names: [TAI]Elixir Quoting them with the quote-button simply puts their name plaintext in the who-attribute of the quote tag instead of escaping the brackets. Code: html [quote who="[TAI]Elixir" reply="24" id="2309357"] It's like comparing Superman to Batman - both are great in their environment but if you'd match them up against each other Superman would ...
