Honor is relative. Manning made an oath, and then found that it was predicated on un-truth perpetrated by the military. In that case I think it's a judgement call, not some simplistic "He gave his word, he broke it, he bad" kind of thing.

An oath sworn to a dishonest man or organization can often be discarded. Manning got in, saw that things in the military weren't as they were described when he signed the contract...

Another arbitrary tool used by a majority to define what the majority likes as good. It's useful for getting suckers to die for the government, however.

So...I was born in this society, born a citizen who has fewer rights than other citizens. I'm supposed to just accept it, try to change the system using means acceptable by the society (!), or leave?

Ha! The people who have the upper hand in a society always try pulling that one over on you.

I used it. Also, nationalism is for tools. Citizenship is a business relationship.

Laws are legal, after all.

Then why call it Tron again, why not come up with a new name? Reboot? Recycle? It's re-something.

We had art and music classes through to High School in my town. My experience with the education system must have been very different than yours. Did you go to school in a poorer locality? The schools with less money tend to focus (to a fault) on metrics in order to secure enough funding from state/federal in order to keep the place running. Even then they have art and music...

Tron was a simple movie. This thing looks like they're throwing in the kitchen sink WRT plot devices. Can't say I really care to see a re-make of Tron. The original was silly enough. I'd bet money the characters will have smartphones inside the computer world...

I'd say, start a war on open source and send America's also-rans to die in it.

No cameras in the execution booth!

Ask an Iraqi or an Afghani!

And thats why our freedoms and privacy continue to erode. Government and law enforcement make it so this kind of vandalism is one of the few remaining potent mechanisms to actually affect powerful corporations and government

You've been well played :)

The control is going to come regardless of the actions of these DOSers. I say, let them have their speech.

9/11 killed a few thousand people...far less than die every year on our roads. The property damage was signifigant...but less than we've been spending on the TSA and our nation building. Osama knew the American people had an absurd expectation that their government's foreign policy could never come home to roost in that way. Who knew that training killers to stir up civil strife and kill other people backed by our enemy in a third nation would come back to bite us in the ass! Everyone over-reacted after 9/11 and we've been punked like nobody has been punked before...by ourselves.
