if only there was some global protest movement working against this shit

[starku]

you drink at starbucks thus invalidating your movement and preventing me from examining my own life


brandon i hope to see you on talkshows in the new year

Will that actually affect folks up here?

Stuff like ".net" and ".com" are controlled by US bound companies. And payment gateway processing, including paypal, visa & mastercard!, have demonstrated they are perfectly willing to cut someone off for daring to publish leaked US documents. It really isn't much of a jump to having any credit cards in your name being refused to be honored by payment gateways (meaning you can't use it online or offline, except possibly via ATM), and any domain name redirected elsewhere based on copyright infringement claims.

that ethics thread made me answer the kobayashi maru....

i don't believe in the no win scenario

[Straha]

I fucking laughed at everyone of your Star Trek references, adr.

Also, this is fucking hilarious:

I find that painfully obvious really-since all of you think you're right, and all of you think everybody else is wrong, the probability of all of you being wrong is a lot higher than the probability of one of you who everybody else considers wrong being right.

Why does that follow?

It's called statistics?

i have an editing problem

[adr-admin]

you should have seen this one iran thread where i made like five posts that were just excerpts from star trek scripts

but framed as tho it was scripture


people were going off about how iran is evil and they all want to die but take us with them or some such horseshit

and i at one point quoted picard's dialog from teh climax of "The Enemy" like so

From THE BOOK OF PICARD 307:5 (note: season 3, episode 7, act 5)

We have good reason to mistrust
one another, Commander, but we
have better reasons to set our
differences aside. The question,
of course, is who will show
vulnerability first.
(a beat)
The answer is -- I will. I must
lower my shields to transport
these men off the planet surface.

and for a while i left it to the own posters to figure out the allegory

but had to explain myself eventually. poo.



still i had a fucking ball doing that shit

[Flagg]

Use guns, get results, ask Libya.

ICE has seized Spanish domains over that bullshit, even though under Spanish law it was perfectly legal. (I mean who cares about international law?)

Arguably it's legal in the USA too! (linking to copyrighted materials isn't a crime yet)

The case with the Spanish site involved rebroadcasting sports programs, not just linking.

they want to restrict the incoming football matches

don't want americans to realize the true beauty of what they call soccer

it would destroy their way of life

Also, this is fucking hilarious:

i just found this post and i was like

ugh seriously

although after looking it up i could almost get behind jainism as a religion

if nothing else they sound like one of the least offensive religions i've read about (don't think i could get into the whole 'don't eat meat' deal tho)

They have tried shoving soccer down our throats for 30 years like Sandusky's dick with a 3 year old and we still don't like it, so fuck off.

americans fuckin' love the fuckin' world cup, motherfucker

so much so that more people watched it than watch 60 minutes or watch any given NFL regular season game, on average

we also loved the last women's world cup

[Bakustra]
