here where i point out the obvious which is always ignored: we ARE KILLING/MURDERING many thousands/hundreds of thousands/millions NOW under Empire, HOW MUCH WORSE COULD IT GET ? ? ? EXCEPT, instead of the 99% doing all the dying, it will be the 1% who get that privilege... i think i like *that* butcher's bill better...
exactly, bottom line is: you have no free speech...
(when you start down the road of banning 'offensive' speech, YOU HAVE NO FREE SPEECH LEFT...)
have ALWAYS disagreed with the idiotic anti 'hate speech' laws in europa; how ANYONE with two brain cells to rub together can't see the end game of that little bit of fascism is beyond me...

i'm going to googleize it in a second, but if you have a link to that, i would be interested... don't recall if techdirtia did any stories along those lines... seems like they would have if beck was abusing the situation... oh, NOT a beck fan in any way, just wondering...
*shhh* damn, are you going to blab all the sekrets of man klub ? ? ?
IF ONLY women knew that it is *one* thing for us piggies to admire, desire, or fantasize about a 'perfect body/woman' (which we NEVER expect to come to fruition, EVER); but they can't know that 90%+ of us are ABSOLUTELY THRILLED with her (supposed) less-than-perfect body... she is perfectly fine to us ! ! !
thank you, ninja, i have been beating this drum for a while: journalists don't have 'superior' rights to us regular schmoes, WE ALL have those same rights... reporters are merely PROXIES for us, representing what we *could* do if we had the time, inclination, and resources to maintain ourselves as an informed electorate... which is -of course- the fundamental conflict between Empire and us: The They (tm) do NOT want us to be an informed electorate, they want us to be ignorant, and at each other's throats, not stretching the necks of the 1%...
was that they tried to play it off as the 'wardrobe malfunction' and apologized for it... 1. a SEX-obsessed 'culture' hyperventilates about a fine looking woman showing a portion of a fine looking boobie during THE high-testosterone event of the year ? ? ? hypocrisy abounds... 2. could have done without the pastie thing, ruined a good boobie... 3. it is certain there were MANY commercials during the broadcast far more 'disgusting' and 'obscene' than a jj nip slip... 4. as a general rule, most any woman who wants to show me her boobies is welcome; i can confidently speak to this for 99.99% of the male population, and about 5-10% of the female population... (yes, even gay males will want to see her boobs, *that's* how fine she is...)
really, SERIOUSLY, given how 'normal' people can look VERY different in photos, i don't see how a photo lineup can be a trusted technique... that it might winnow OUT suspects seems reasonable, but to select a suspect based ONLY on a picture seems, um, suspect... of course, i guess the point is, the kops/persecutors don't really care, as long as they are 'solving' cases and generating numbers...
bwa ha ha ha haaaaa just went to the map, and it is a joke... it lists that i have like 6-7 'providers' i could choose from ! ! ! wowie zowie, what have i been bitching about all these years ! ! ! oh, wait a minute, all but one is a wireless provider (which they are listing as some 10-25 Mbs speed, ha ha, you're funny), and the one cable provider they list has had a map showing they covered BEYOND our area by 2-3 miles for the last 15-20 years, BUT THEY ARE LYING, THEY DO NOT OFFER SERVICE HERE... well, that's funny, our ACTUAL ISP is NOT listed, you know, the one with the fucking 'NON-COMPETE AGREEMENTS' with everyone else... when you call up ANY potential ISP competitor, the second you enter your zip code, it literally transfers you to the shit ISP we already have but can't escape from...
is it just me, or has the typeface changed here ? seems like it is a dark grey now, instead of black... just seems like a lot less contrasty to read clearly... meh, maybe just my 'puter...
w-e-l-l, i would *certainly* put this in the category of 'smart guy talks out his butt about shit he doesn't know about', but to say chomsky is some sort of 'fringe' nutball shows how little YOU know about him...
i have no doubt he has been hoodwinked by a charlatan with semi-plausible -and semi-real- claims, AND he has ZERO clue about any of the attendant technical issues; BUT it is actually kind of instructive in terms of the manner he typically analyzes contemporary media and shows how IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE CONTEXT, you don't know what you don't know... that is his problem in this situation...
again, i have problems with chomsky's approach on a lot of REAL conspiracies in our his story (he essentially either dismisses then outright as impossible, or dismisses them as having no significant impact on his story), BUT i would -as a matter of general principle- subscribe to his take on most anything he puts some thought to analyzing...

'right to work' is doublespeak, what it REALLY means is, right to fire your ass without any reason whatsoever...
technically, it means you can't be discriminated against for NOT joining a union, but with unions to the point of nothingness (in a number of ways), it has no meaning...
...it is that it -essentially- favors Big Agri over family farms such that they are disappeared... when we 'help' other countries with their agriculture, etc, almost always that means we are IMPOSING a huge, COSTLY system of farming which locks you into Big Agri's system from beginning to end: you are dependent upon them for EVERYTHING, and the banks, etc WILL FORCE you to adhere to their regimen, or you don't get shit... FURTHER, it is all to grow 'commercial' crops which WE fat westerners might 'need', but it doesn't grow ANYTHING for the locals to eat: they go from raising most of their own food, to raising NOTHING they can eat, but ONLY whatever Big Agri wants them to grow...
i thought it was all celebutard circle jerks and '10 reasons why you will die if you don't read this sensationalistic crap' headlines... really, i only go to huffpoo for nip slips and to laugh at the celebutards... otherwise, it is a national enquirer for pretentious, pretend pwogwessives...
