Sadly, we Brits aren't any better off. We don't even pretend to have a constitution or anything like it.

Given American levels of obesity, Im not sure you are correct.

Strikes me (no pun intended) as being a very good way to get the general public to think about the consequences of the creeping use of drones. "Think its just terrorists targeted? Well, it could now be you". OK, terrorists get a m

Screw the karma on this one....... Oh the children? Whats next, terrorists and pedophiles? Go get an education. OK, how many kiddies in the fabulous USA live under the international levels of poverty? Around 9,000,000 ,right? 9M kids "

You make some pretty shitty and arrogant assumptions. Don't judge other cultures by your own horrible standards. And thank you for illustrating my point better than me.

by alan_cx 13y ago
A. Yeah, except we never tell them the down side. We arrogantly assume our oh so clever technical ways are better. Sadly we are still not mature enough to decently make contact with such people.

We cant get our own cultures right, why screw up more?

While Im not sure my Karma would withstand a defense of this, if one must have adverts, isn't sliding them in to the email list a better use of screen real estate, compared to big blocks of in your face adverts? Assuming these advmai

Oh no its not. I wish it were, but its not. The BBC is desperately, which much justification and reason, avoiding controversy. If they cant effectively moderate then they should stop all comments.

Yup. Very true. You realize of course that such companies have many other options, right?

I agreed with you until I has this thought: If one man can stand up to the US Gov. risking liberty and life, big businesses certainly can. Google stood by and let it happen. Too often does the world hinges on the actions of one man, in spit

Sounds uncomfortable.

I could well be 100% wrong, but I dont think the US gov do recognize the international court of human rights as having any jurisdiction over Americans.

Your comment has made me realize something. It is said that the enemies of the USA hate the USA for its freedom. Well, what you describe is American freedom, freedom for Americans to abuse non Americans on non American soil, with the back

Yeah, when you have nothing, attack the messenger with standard insult, tell people they are mad conspiracy theorists. Trouble is, too many of these conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Just cast your mind back to the reactions of polit

Even as a "fundamentalist" BBC supporter, I have to say I find the BBC's decisions about what stories have and don't have comments allowed very strange. Although, I do think the BBC still feels under pressure from gover

Didn't take too long after the fall of the Berlin Wall to get to that state did it? To me it is fairly simple. The Soviet threat went away, and the big intelligence agencies were left with not a lot to do. So a new enemy was born: Arab

Yeah, I wonder that too. Im not being clever here, I think that the US is getting like that, but really deep down it doesn't feel like a Nazi Germany (or the like), but it sure is displaying signs of it. So, I'm not even sure what

Bias? Go on then, I would dearly love to know; which government is known for not lying to the public?

I fail to see why you find this so "interesting". If Snowden lied or exaggerated, the USG would ensure that every media outlet shouted about if from the mountain tops until no one couldn't know. Snowden would be destroyed as

Well, I'd prefer to assume they can. Back at you... do you think the NSA's entire capabilities to date have been publicised?

We also know people behave better if guarded by people with guns and dogs.... "Better"? What you really mean is they conform. They do as told. And lose individuality and creativity. Well, Heil yourself, 'cos Im not interested

Dunno what your criticisms are about. I've used yahoo, specifically the email for something like 15 years. In all that time, I have had less trouble than any other site. For example, using gmail as an evaluation has caused me more grie

Er, no. I don't want to be spied on, no matter how "open" the process is. My problem isn't the openness, its the spying in the first place. I don't care if its a select few, or the whole worlds population, I don&#x2
