European Here.

This is the standard Anglo approach to the problem. Present a false black and white argument instead of the actual argument, and then present an ultimatum.

Most European cultures including Spain do not have such a culture. Instead, they would likely prefer to negotiate with google on the issue. Google instead chooses to openly extort the country by offering them only two choices which you suggest.

What you are saying is that Spain would like to negotiate something that it actually can't and shouldn't be able to negotiate ...

I suspect they get to pull this once, maybe twice, after which EU will offer them a choice. Work with EU regulators and withing EU law or leave world's single biggest market.

At which point any google exec that would push for leaving will have an unfortunate fatal car accident arranged by major stake holders and Google will negotiate.

pffff .... which market ... if you thought Europe is one market you were sold snake oil ... Europe is a collection of National economies one more bigoted that the other. And frankly i can't wait for the EU regulators ... which in this case and in most cases aren't EU but national regulators .... to try and enforce Internet filtering ... Google is in a very strong position against many European governments and shouldn't negotiate . Europe needs more competition not nationalistic crap.

IT'S bad too be drunk .. but if someone shows you being drunk ... they are guilty of how bad you feel.

Everyone (including me) that EDUCATED you to feel bad ain't guilty.

Ain't the world a beautiful lovely place.

I would like this school of thought applied to criminal cases.
It's illegal to _____ but whoever (prosecutor , judge , witness , surveillance camera owner, everyone ) makes you feel bad or kill yourself is a criminal.

Please define INTELLIGENT LIFE. That might be the answer i was looking for. But do it so that the first humans fit the bill. What we did first so that we fit the bill as intelligent. I don't want machines rights . I don't even want animal rights. What i would like intelligent being rights (everything else is resources). Now please help me get a definition for intelligent beings so that it protects us (humans as a specie) an everything else that can be inteligent (aliens , inteligent robots maybe , mutants , etc. , etc.).

Sure by current definitions and understanding a rock ain't life. But would a computer capable of autonomous behaviour be life? If you would replace many of your organs with inorganic components and you weren't capable of reproduction through SEX , would you still consider yourself life? A virus doesn't reproduce through sex or through division , it needs a host cell (it is like a software that programs a machine to create some more software) I don't really care what the definition of life is because it surely is WRONG. No definition could ever cover all the forms . I have a question: If we took all the culture/religion and all the technology away , what makes US humans different from animals? (This is what I believe we need , although I'm sceptical we could ever find the real difference .)

I totally agree with you. They don't listen and don't care about the community because they are trying to go over the chasm or something ... i think it's a stupid strategy for a open source project witch needs all the contributors it need. I can't code but i can translate things , many can design , and even more have ideas about Ubuntu. Those ideas should be spread to the community and discussed and then the best one implemented. I don't see this happening . Anyway i hope they pass the damned chasm whatever the hell is that.
