The Soapbox

I used to live in El Paso and in those years it snowed only once. It did not even last for a day, but the chaos was ... amusing :) Cowboys and snow don't get along very well. And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke: "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!" And I smiled and was happy And it came worse.

seriously though if SOPA passes CP will have to disable the clickty features to ensure that it doesnt get shutdown, this is ofcourse after checking ALL previous post for links to copyrighted material. I see a few high profile cases where the US is extraditing people and charging them all over the world from the UK teen to Kim DotCom here in NZ.

I say Muffin never went out of fashion. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

Not about what they say, but, that is eventually put into practice. Which is different how for the ones that say 'they are ok' up until the day the invade?

"Even" Ron Paul, with all of his wonderful plans, didn't seem to offer a single methodology for reaching his version of Nirvana (listening to him speak after New Hampshire primary). The follows willing drink the Kool-Aid. Propaganda, even the most over-used and shallow techniques, still works well: particularly, simile and repetition. So your take of the world is that someone that votes for a presidential candidate is voting for them solely and exclusively based on the entirity of their expressed platform? Then you are correct we do not see the same thing. W∴ Balboos wrote: The result of the continuous fanning of passions ultimate results in a need for a release of the pressure - such as war. First it doesn't ultimately lead to war. Second war itself doesn't change the hatred excluding possible wars of genocide (the successful ones.)

Can you care to share the contents or a screenshot here? Just curious. And if the police did nothing, it really surprises me.

the whole financial system is a ponzi scheme.... before 1934 soverign countries use to print their own money with no debt attached now they have to borrow from a central banking system and it is mathematically impossible to repay the interest. we are again enslaved by Usury which for 1000s of years has been illegal but in this dark age is a tool of our own destruction.

Irony detector broken? Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994.

From Orwell's 'Animal Farm': "All animals are equal - some are more equal than others." Look at the typical handling of criminal behavior by celebrities (movie, sports, politicians, rich folk, etc.). The recent Lindsey Lohan adventures, where she disregards her sentence, commits further criminal acts whilst out on parole, violates the terms of her parole, and general behaves in manor that would put anyone in the slammer. Correction: she did spend four hours in jail until her lawyer got her released. Perhaps we are approaching the time for Mdme Guillotine ?

If you are seek perfection in yourself, then you will find failure." - Balboos HaGadol Mar 2010
