Complete rubbish. We left the gold standard because countries hoarded it, and it lead to a stagnation in the economy called The Great Depression. Countries that left the gold standard later than others took longer to fix their economies. Instead of judging the worth of a country on one metal. It is now based on a whole host of factors like stock market, value of all currencies, farming production, etc etc. This is the fiat system.

75% of people on welfare are too old and too young to work. Stop with this silly myth that welfare makes people lazy.

VPN sales just shot up.

Iranians should roll a new president.

Slashdot got it wrong. The easiest LAMP server to setup is not Ubuntu, its not SuSe and its not Debian. Its ClearOS. Its very easy for a noob to configure. Has a nice web browser based configuration panel and is piss easy to setup.

I come from a continent of child soldiers here in Africa. Your words have less meaning here.

Im surprised anyone is taking this site (that looks like it was developed by a 5 year old).... seriously. I certainly cant.

Exactly. Not to

Having gone to an elitest college I not enjoying it at all, I can say the best thing about it is the "old boys" business club.

Its really depressing how far right some of the posts here are. I always thought nerds were smart :(

Sorry typo I cant edit.. "its not really about Apartheid"

As a South African I can say the film is not really about South Africa, but more in touch with our xenophobic (another word for racism) attacks that swept South Africa.

The money lost is calculated using Republican maths. (whats it with Americans and thick people?) They lost how much? Using the same logic everyone who didnt buy a lotto ticket lost millions of dollars.

"Every admin in the world" ???

No offense mate but you dont know what you are talking about. Believe it or not most other countries dont care about your laws.

In fact, most other country admins sit back and laugh at the poor Americans and their endless litigation.

Seriously though.. get a grip of your judicial system its out of control. While this kind thing might hamstring American admins, those of us with a more reasonable law system will just feel sorry for you guys.

I love getting emails form American lawyers... I always respond to them TBP (thepiratebay.org) style.

Seriously.. I have seen a lot of attempted comparisons between the US/EU and Russia/China.

Some people seem to think that the US and EU are on the same level of deceit as Russia/China. To think that would seriously just show the thinking world your ignorance.

Sure... no country is perfect and every single one of them gets up to mischief, but when you compare what Russia and China get up to compared to the EU and US... there is very little comparison.

You would have to be a liar to try compare them. I have not noticed even the very retarded Bush administration killing of journalists like China.. and I have not noticed the EU censoring its citizens like China.

When a real comparison is done of the important stuff.. like political freedom, access to basic human rights, access to education, access to health services and important basic freedoms.. the EU and US beat anything in Asia hands down.

Also, Russia and China are not democracies on any level. Again, you would be lying if you thought so. Russia and China are playing on the bull media and anti Americanism to fool the retards of our world into believing "theyre the same". Well. theyre not.. and not on any level, and if you cant see this then you are part of the problem.
