When I first read the title I thought that search engines that all .com domain searches have been declared illegal and now the Kiwis cannot search on .com domains (I know that sounds weird, more like meaningless :)). Edit: Now the title has

Sad indeed, the news of a a cat being rescued from a tree or Lindsay Lohan on drugs again is more important, that another 4 or 14 Afghan kids were just killed by NATO is not worthy of prime time, not when we are the ones killing kids.

@datapimp, I know what you're saying, but I think that now the average American knows a lot more than she did 20 years ago, thanks to the internet. If it was up to the big media corporations the average Joe would never have found out about

No one says that whites were the victims of Mandela's ANC, why do you insist on justifying an occupying military that is enforcing an apartheid? Probably a few of the Egyptian military and police have been killed by protesters but I only me

Peaker, I brought up Egypt, Israel, Yemen and other dictatorships and I did not intend to start a flame war. I have no argument with "all Jews" or "all Israelis" and I admire that you oppose evicting people and you support at least some sol

Yeah, nukes were almost a survival necessity for apartheid South Africa, weapons were necessary for white supremacists in US to continue killing any black people that demanded equal rights. A country that continues to reject a peace treaty

I think that your message shows one side of the story and that's the official US side. Like Gore Vidal said that in United States of Amnesia people don't remember anything that happened before last Monday. Ever read about the 1980 Gwangju m

satu, I agree with you, if the American support for dictatorships had ended then it would have been futile to mention the past. The problem is that this is how the situation is today and it's the same as it was 10 or 20 or 50 years ago. The

There have been protests or at least a discussion about it in Europe; Western Europe as well as Eastern Europe. The US has already signed it without much problem. Surely the majority of Americans would not have wanted their President to sig

Simple one-liners often work well to brush aside the real issues, you don't need an argument, just a simplistic phrase that plays with emotions is enough. May I suggest that you read about who was at fault at what place and when? The curren

Why on earth would an article about struggle against dictatorship mention the main force that keeps the dictators in place (i.e. money, the weapons, diplomatic support) when talking about the "dictator's worst nightmare?" I never suggested

The article didn't mention the billions of Dollars that (for example) Egyptian dictators have been getting every year to keep the Egyptian people under the boot and to make sure they don't push Israel to end its military occupation or to al

What should the people of Iranian origin do to make it easy for Apple Nazis? Put a star of David or a crescent on their clothes before they enter the store?

Whatever the complexities of the system, the bottomline is that for-profit corporations should not be allowed to milk medical "consumers" the way they are allowed in the US. If the US can bail out the banksters with trillions of dollars (ye
