It's blatantly about voting for the 'Insightfulness' of the comment. Mike was suggesting that quite a few people voting that the US has lost its way and superiority might be non-Americans - I know I voted for it, and he was replying to my own ironic comment about getting rid of 'useless' colonies. So please re-read and get off your conservative hobby-horse.
Did you just utter the phrase "Tea Party" and "constitutional expert" in the same breath? "Constitutional redefiners" seems more accurate!
You haven't proven any attack on the life of an embryo, its right to bear arms, or its right to own property yet. Now, if you could link this process to RomneyCare+ then you'd be onto a winner!
There's also a matter of scale. You are saying that linking to possibly infringing tv streams is equivalent to remotely hacking the US Federal Reserve? That's like saying someone throwing a stone at someone is equivalent to invading an entire country and killing hundreds of thousands of people!
There is a big difference between doing something clearly and massively illegal in most jurisdictions, and something that is legal in some but not others, is only a civil matter even then, and does no real 'harm'. So your freedom of speech lets you slag off the islamic prophet, and post pictures of swastikas - do you really want Iran and Germany extraditing you for breaking *their* laws?
Quite aside from the obvious comment: what is there worth hacking in the Federal Reserve?
I dunno, I think the UK/Europe could be the loser because if the US decides to dump interoperability, then it massively reduces the value of Galileo. On the other hand, part of the value of Galileo is that it is not under the control of the US (military).
Yes, having a 3-year-old who may watch it to death, I quite enjoyed Ice Age 4. I'm not so sure about how Madagascar 3 will be, but then my standards for kids shows (especially as a father) is a bit different from adult shows - which is why my dinosaur-mad kid hasn't seen Jurassic Park yet.
So jealous of you guys! When punk came out, I was just a little kid and it was just this weird thing my older cousin was into - but he was cool and definitely influenced my tastes...
Hey good job completely blowing this "response." ROFLMAO! If you actually did one minute of actual answering, you wouldn't look like such a fucking idiot all the time. I know, I know. You have no intention of ever doing any rebutting, yet you want the world to value your posts like they were written by a real person. LOL! You're a piece of work, Anonymous Coward.
Way to bring some quality to the discussion, as well as well thought-out points.
