democracy? voting?? we get the govt they give us. what if noone voted, how many votes would they count? this is no more a democracy than i am prince philip... its an oligarchy/police state with communistic ties (everything cost the same). if tehre was real compition, would a movie ticket differ in price, from state to state? how about a new cd? pair of jeans? loaf of bread? can of soup? its all the same price within a few cents. all the pizza on the frozen food isle is owned by 2 companies. this is freedom? it looks liek a duopoly giving the image of such things. makes me think of 1984....we were always at peace with iraq...

Comment bad programming? (Score 0) 197

my question, how does a webpage override a program that's actually on your computer? it doesn't seem like rocket science to me. i only know a tad about mirc scripting, and and-if-else pops into my head. the way it sounds, safari and internet exploder want to make the internet comply to them. whereas they should actually do what they advertize. the worlds worst browser doesn't have much of a leg to stand on, i'm not sure where safari falls into this. but if the browsers were truly secure, there shouldn't be a prob. i am not a fan of google. i do not agree with that blasted google anylitics (sp) everywhere. if you click secure, it should be somewhat secure, not spark a lawsuit because they don't want to do actual programming. it really seems like they want the image of being secure, but do not actually want it to be. like most things. laptop encryption is in court atm, what about smart phone encryption? also, wanting to be secure is on the list of the fbis 'you could be a terrorist if...' statement. they only want it to look like its secure, not actually be secure.

well, the US is to blame. for it not going to war with unwarranted reasoning, it would not have happened. but it wasn't a weapons of mass destruction, it was the whole mid easy. 1 at a time. we had to totally destroy their infrastructure, medical and educational framework, because it was better than ours. like Norton AV from the earlier 80's, a true American company. put your name on things that are not yours, sell things that you did not right, violate every copyright there is, buy the competition out because they are better than you, then throw everything away. a true american company mr norton died when he was about 35 from severe alcoholism, prolly brought on by the stress caused by stealing and underhandedness. tis the american way tho. we couldn't let a 'terrorist' nation have anything better than we do. then again, this stuff happens in war.

free tv! the way it should be. quickly...tv used to be free, commercials paid for the content, long as enough people watched the ads, they were satisfied. today, you have to pay a rather huge sum to get the tv stations, most of it is crap and wouldn't be watched. the commercials don't even make sense for the most part. anyway what did this guy do? he sold something that was shipped to him. it looked ligit....but, it wasn't. this looks like what sopa would look like. jsujt arrest the lot, seize everything. he will get nothing back, destroy his life, long as he didn't pirate (knowingly or not) a tv show and cost the corporation 3852752498567892347614891 trillion dollars. maybe their trying to run the world 100 years in the past...still grasping onto physical things. this is a new age, embrace it

where are the 'hikers' now? first, if they actually were hikers, why were they in a war torn country? thats kinda, moronic. secondly, where was their map? compass? did they know how to read a map? remember, they were hikers. lastly, who are we to question their justice system? we catch someone with a joint and toss em in jail for life. they cut off a hand. now what way is more cruel? ask anyone in prison for having a joint, they will give up their left hand to be free. i personally think, being a simple hiker, you would try your best to avoid WAR and countries we want to have wars with. the media portrays iran as a country that harbors terrorists. 10 years ago it was a great place to visit. the only difference that i cant find is money. it wont borrow money from the IMF. it wont get on board with every other in debt nation. it has its own currency. it has a supreme educational system. have you ever met a dumb Iranian? social security, noone is sick and homeless. its paid for, and everything cheap. (yes, i am sure there are homeless, but they are not hungry). the usa has a way of drivign other countries into debt, and destroying what they have thats better just so we can be number 1 again. sorta like norton antivirus. destroy all competition...then the complete piece of crap can be number 1. i am not pro iran. i am anti state run media. there are 2 sides to the story. i do not agree with any internet crime getting more than a year or 2 in prison. but what he failed to do is check to see if there were any warrants for his arrest. thats what one should do anyway. ot os their own sovereign nation, with their own laws. we, being the rest of the world, have no right to even question them. if i had my own country, and made tobacco and booze illegal, would other countries pressure me into making those 2 legal? what would give them the right?

soon i will only get the news the govt wants me to hear! i wont even have the ability to search out the anthrax mailer, or Americans being tortured, i wont be able to look for article about yellow cake in iraq or heroin in Afghanistan, only what the govt deems beneficial to me. searching takes too long and its too much effort. I'm glad someone can think for me, cause i have a hard time myself.

Comment product placement (Score 0) 464

product placement and advertizing (the main character drinks a coke). i dont need more advertizing. commercials within a movie, and yet prices soar even higher. on a large scale, people are not going to the movies as much, but prices are soaring ever higher. the less people that go, the higher the price. the guy behind the desk at the top will get his money. pure, simple greed/communism. cant say for sure it is either, but sure looks it.

mostly because none wants to pay for a rock. not because its worthless. thats like me saying an audio cd has no economic value. if i ever heard any good songs, i might buy a cd. but they wont buy a rock, tehy will arrest detain search houses and seize everything till they get what they want. no economic value
