Submission + - Spanish Web Censorship Voted Down (zeropaid.com)

Dangerous_Minds writes: ZeroPaid is reporting that a part of the Sinde Act (named after Spanish filmmaker and Culture Minister Ángeles González-Sinde) which would allow the Culture Ministry to force ISPs to block websites suspected of facilitating copyright infringement, was voted down recently in Spain. This comes on the heals of Wikileaks exposing the amount of pressure US industry was putting on Spain to implement laws like the three strikes law seen in HADOPI in France. The Asociación de Internautas (Assocation of Internet Users), an organization who called the legislation an assault on Spanish democracy, is currently celebrating the news as a victory for Spanish democracy (Spanish).

the relationship government and citizen is not the same as employer and employee. a company cannot oppress me, i would leave. for most people it's not an option to leave their country.
also i wouldn't want my country run with the moral compass of your avarage company.

That is exactly the problem of religion. They all promote morals and standards. But it's not the church who make them, it's a group of people. which can be different kinds of people, think of familiy,friends, work, etc. Although their morals and standards will overlap they can change between those groups. Furthermore those morals change over time, the reason why things like slavery is no longer accepted and gay rights are. This is the same reason why over there have been religions before christianity and islam and will be after them.

The church records those standards at a certain time but since they are dynamic as explained before, the church can not hold them as static things thye control.

I think you spoke money and not english, japanese speak with a terrible accent if they want to speak to you at all.
Furthermore Japan is not a very free country and the way there culture works you would have a hard time integrating into society. Not to mention that cost of living is 3x what it is in a normal western country.

Comment Playing a game in a way you are not supposed too (Score 1) 261

Currently I am addicted to a game called 'reset generation' which you can play on your nokia or online http://resetgeneration-site.arena.n-gage.com/

You play against 3 players who all have the goal to steal each others princess, they mix the game play up by you having to lay a path using tetris bricks to the other castle. Also there are 10 classes so each character plays differently.

So if you get the last princess then you win.

However since I play not so much online but against AI players I try to survive as long as possible. I do this by eliminating all but 1 player, then I make sure the playfield is only covered with my tiles which limits the movement of my adversary. At his time the ai player mostly gives up, however sometimes wierd stuff happens like chickens turning into zombies or just giant monsters appearing destroying everybody.
