Imagine how I feel - I voted for him. The Peace Prize was ludicrous, since the only thing he remotely did to deserve it was not to be named George Bush. I would dearly love for it to be recalled. In terms of fascism, by the way, there was

Well, it's stupid anyway. I know there are problems with the Union and I know there are design flaws with the monetary union, but jeez - the Union itself is the smartest thing ever done in Europe and that is a high bar indeed. Talking

I agree with you on padmapper.

But you said "citizens".

It was kind of hard to be sure - the top post on this thread is literally calling for the expulsion of all Americans from Europe.

I'm an American citizen and I'd like to continue to live with my European wife, thanks. Are you going to kick out Austria, too? They seemed awfully lickspittle today. I don't think it's the Brits that are your problem.

On the other hand when Reddit does something, the talking heads notice that something happens (however badly it all comes out), while when HNN carps about things nobody cares.

As I understand it, Krrb is not using Craigslist infrastructure - it is simply taking the post already in the user's browser because they navigated there in the process of entering the post, and copying the text out for reuse. Craigs

Sometimes you just have to take a little country and smash it against the wall to show the world who's boss - is that the game you're playing? Americans loved international law as long as it was to our advantage; now it's pas

Colin Powell going to the UN with certain knowledge that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and it was imperative to attack them before they were used. Donald Rumsfeld saying, "We know where the weapons of mass destruction are."

Sure. I'll buy that - and in that case, when the cops saw that she was not part of the bigger something, then the professional thing to do would have been to apologize for the inconvenience, explain what had happened, and send her o

It doesn't stand for anything - it's the company that Wile E. Coyote orders wacky equipment from in the cartoons in order to defeat the Road Runner. It's the namespace in CPAN for joke modules.

I thought Brussels found against at least one of them - but I don't know for sure.

Well, speak for yourself. I'm a part of the community, too, and I certainly haven't noticed myself alone in expressing my outrage.

Yeah, I saw a demonstration in Stuttgart once against the census - and now they're fine with Bestandsdatenauskunft?

You're German, right? (Judging by other comments you've made.) You can sweat us a lot longer than we can sweat you. You haven't shipped your productive industries to China, you see. There will be free trade. But don't

I have to agree!

Some have called for a suspension of talks on the trans-Atlantic free trade agreement. And now we start talking about costs to the United States.

I wasn't actually talking about Germany. He does have to avoid countries that have declared him (accurately, in my opinion) a war criminal.

Hahaha. Ask Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, and a whole host of other American bad actors who hesitate to leave the safe confines of the United States nowadays.

The politicians themselves aren't listening - and by being a surveillance target, you've already been othered to the point that your viewpoint will simply be taken as a sign you're untrustworthy and a dangerous element. It wo

It does sound harmless, which is why it's the Orwell-approved nomenclature. In fifty years it won't sound at all harmless, and there will be a new euphemism. "Attack destination" made me smile. The English word destinat

Some of them were living in New York as well. The 9/11 attackers trained in the United States, but as Saudi nationals they were protected by the Bush Administration. While the Germans used regular police work to find their own terror

Ziel is literally a target, but in truth it translates as "destination". "Angriffsziel" could be translated as "target" in this sense, so Stephan is not wrong - but perhaps soft-pedaling a little. Where you
