So, if I steal a dollar, and give it away, I should go to jail.

But if I steal billions, and then proceed to give that away, I should be held in awe?

The only reason he started doing this was because his wife convinced him that he needed to leave a legacy behind. That once he started doing it, he embraced it is not a problem, but his "doing good" is still laced with problems. For example, the Gates Foundation is now trying to monopolize donations. They want to channel all donations through them, and take a small % of the donations. And manage the donors. For some reason, all the major foundations hate that idea, especially the part where they give up the donors to the Gates Foundation. Gee, I wonder where that behavior came from.

You have a truly fucked up perspective.

Are people really that stupid? There are plenty of comparisons showing how much money you save by going prepaid vs subsidized phone.

That means the extra money is going into the carriers' pocket.

That extra money means they're losing money...?! [shakes head at state of math among reporters]

Uh... You *do* realize that pf is OpenBSD native code? That they are constantly hacking on? They wrote it from ground up, why would they be importing *anything*?

Are you perhaps thinking about Darren Reed's ipf which they cut out years ago, due to Darren's stupid licensing (free and net bsd can change and patch ipf code, but OpenBSD is banned from patching it, nyah nyah).

The Election Commission ordered the election watchers to leave the polling station "to give the staff time to rest". Do they think the people are that stupid...? There are also plenty of "phantom" voters - bangladeshi workers who were issued Malaysian IDs in order to vote. However, the government stupidly issued these bangladeshis with IDs bearing chinese names, making it easy to identify some of them.

Now, there allegations of widespread election fraud, tampering with votes, bringing in foreign nationals to vote, paying for votes, and outright fraudulent votes and ballot boxes being moved in during the counting period. Apparently there is wide spread electricity "outages", and after the power comes back on, new ballot boxes have magically appeared.

Does anyone, including the US government, have the power to intervene and force a clean election? Or will the ones in power continue to abuse and corrupt the process in order to stay in power/ Will the citizens of Malaysia be strong enough to stand up for themselves? Will Malaysia experience the Malaysian Spring and overthrow a corrupt government?"
