Are none of you familiar with the inverse-square law? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_propagation

The US itself created those "economic waves" when it chose - yes, chose - to hugely overreact to the insanely-hyped threat of terrorism. You played right into the hands of whomever is responsible for the 11/09/01 events in NYC and elsewhere.

It's just not worth the hassle. There are places in America I'd still quite like to visit, but I'm not going to bother. Being made to endure the insanity of US airport "security" processes is not acceptable to me, and I'm not alone: Aside from all the other people who have decided a US vacation isn't worth the effort, go ask American tourism operators how they feel about it all.

prolly a eurotrash socialist.

Don't tell me -- I bet you tried to change an article to the way you wanted it but every one kept changing it back?

You didn't like how the truth about you and those gay whores kept coming out to haunt you?

I had to ask.

I'm sick of all these stories about (and links to) dirty foreigners and their sites on Slashdot, instead of good God-fearin' red-blooded Australians and Aussie stories and sites.

"Network Engineer". (Technician.) "Software Engineer". (Programmer.) If they don't have an bona fide engineering degree from a legitimate university, or if they don't drive trains or maintain a ship's engines, then they already are in sales...every day they try to sell themselves as something they're not.

are you worried because Oz is pushing you off the stage? maybe if you were'nt all a pack of morbidly obese bible bashers you would still be relivent. how do you expect to rule the world when you cant even see your fucking feet becuase of the huge rolls of blubber in the way? its good that you still worship fairies and goblins on sundays coz you'll have someone to talk to when the rest of the world stops giving a rats arse about the United Fat God Botherers of America and has turned to the United States of Australia for leadership and culture instead. oooo no it's happening allready!!!! poor seppo wankers! lol.

...at least they aren't wasting time and money on String "theory".

...It's good enough for the rest of us.

Adhering to atheism simply because one dislikes religion is no more rational or enlightened than adhering to any one religion.

I am not religious and dislike religion because religion and religious tenets has absolutely zero basis in fact and reality, yet a huge chunk of humanity chooses to devotes a lot of time to religion, while education and science struggle against it. Religious people desperately cling to the false hope that non-religious people "Hate us because they envy our God!", when in fact non-religious people despise the unwillingness of the religious to grow up and face reality.

Probably even more than a cabal of record companies. Record companies only target those they perceive as being incapable of defending themselves agsinst a concerted attack by the record companies' lawyers and money.

"Mossad". There's a difference. It's why so many non-Israeli Jews detest both Mossad and Israel. (Well, not necessarily Israel, but certainly the rabid Zionists that infest the place and give the rest of us a bad name.)

"So, you've just apprehended a bunch of Mossad agents in NYC while they were cheering and high-fiving as they watched those airliners hitting the Twin Towers? Quietly deport them and pretend the whole thing never happened.
