that is not a liberty, but job description of "police officer". Liberty != job of person.

because of the "war on drugs, war on crime", they got a whole people scared into giving up their civil rights decades ago, and we now think this is normal. Anytime someone gets a group together to oppose this, they are harrassed by the cops using the same techniques, and made an example of. We are taught in schools, and re-enforced in the media, there is no line between dissent, and rebellion, rebellion and crime, and crime and oppression. The government is our friends, and all critics are criminals. We give a really wide benefit of the doubt to cops.

We create a whole list of fear words like junkie, terrorist, psycho, of which we see a whole underclass ready to swallow society, and the government's wrongs, slight and only exiting to protect us from imaginary enemies. We have TV news shows telling us how we are all the privledged class, and social justice is aimed as us, not the system, while simultaneously misdirecting citizens at eachother.

Our political movements create conspiracies against eachother, and exhonorate the guilty.

Truth is, you're more likely to be shot by a police officer than a crazy on a spree shooting. More likely to die from a hand gun than an infantry rifle, and more likely to be killed by obeiseity than recreational drug use.(3 times as likely)

congradulations, you figured it out. They are allowed to smoke a bowl with you, then arrest you for it. Is it technically legal? no. Can they do it and get away with it? yes. Will they? most likely not. When will they do it? Lets say they used you to get in bed with someone else who they actually wanted to arrest. They befriended you, and used you to build the trust of someone else. They supplied you with drugs and did them with you to build your confidence in them. Now, they just might arrest you and charge you with drugs to keep you fucking quiet, on whatever police misconduct you might witness that would tear apart their trial.

entrapment? Entrapment means the crime is "not in your nature", which is highly speculative. If you're considered a "looser", than any petty crime is within your nature, especially if you're a minority.

I am going to copy this, because its a good reason I am not a voluntaryist, and ditched being a libertarian capitalist a few years ago. Its not voluntary if they trick or coerce you.

what? You mean if everyone is not an expert in every knowledgable field of expertise, they deserve to be ripped off?

Thats the attitude everyone takes in law and business, but computers forgettaboutit

You tell people they are dumb enough to be hacked, and they deserved having their lives ruined, and their monies stolen, they go nuts. "Deserve to be a victim", only works if your fighting against the law, celebrities, bankers, or other capitalists or state authority.

the police. They don't have to work as hard, when if they can't catch the real perpetrator, just framing someone else without money to spent on lawyers.

last I checked, they keep finding and arresting "kingpins" of Anonymous like its some sort of hierarchal organization, and not just a common banner for many diffrent losely knit groups with no real relation to eachother, except mabey a shared culture. After a suposed "kingpin" was arrested, they'd hack something else, fucking hillarious. We, in America, like to think all our foes in

Thats all they ever were, ever. Except for a handful that figured how how to use sql-injection scripts. Anonymous where never skilled hackers, ever. Unlike other "hacker" groups, that kept to themselves, are very quiet, dangerous, and under-reported, the only thing ever "special" about Anonymous is that the news gave them lots of coverage as "hackers on steroids", and hyped them up, far beyond their skills. The more the news media created fear and panic, the more people joined Anonymous to create fear and panic. So what they lacked in skill, they made up in numbers. When they started doing moralfagging, they picked up more talented people intrested in moralfagging.

They were never an elite group of hackers. Never.

Why are you leaning on them? It sounds like you're mad that they are not your personal army. Why should they be? Who are you? I mean you could always join them, its not like they have membership requirements, or set membership. You could try posting your requests anonymously, as they do. Or mabey you think you should be taken seriously because you crafted a reputation for yourself, built on what exactly?

Then fucking pirate it, and even if you don't watch it, help seed it. Fuck Sony, and Fuck NK

Fucking do it.

Downloading it on torrent is a good way not to support either Sony or North Korea. In fact, torrenting this movie gives a big "fuck you", not only to sony, but NK.

Similar in scale to china's "great firewall", is the "PRiSM", the NSA's mass surviallence program, and counter-intellegence programs both public and private, to keep content favorable to the US government and member corporations, as well as harrass the fuck out of dissidents, as well as impose draconian copyright enforcement world wide.

The only diffrence between countries that censor the internet, and those who don't, is the ability or inability to do internet-wide intellegence/counter-intellegence operations.

I think its time to lay some fiber in cuba, and if the thaw is real, and has any perminance, run some undersea fiber between florida and cuba. If anything, that will help add perminance to the thaw.

Was he one of the 53 "political prisoners" released from jail right after the US opened their embassy? Do you even know his name?

No, its a change of policy. We screamed for years about trying to get the Cuban government to change its policy to a more social libertarian one, and they finally start making moves in the direction, and we call them crazy. No sir. This is a step in the right direction. No need for hostilities.

OK, a small minority was done by a bunch of by the brits.

changes nothing

It just so happened, that just as the "piracy" debate was gaining traction, so was the cartoonized image of a "pirate" depicted in media in the "pirates vs ninjas", a send up over two hilariously carcatured media stereotypes about brigands from the past of two seperate civilizations. Both were seen as virtuous, and the "pirate" gained a fun, safe positive conotation.
