I agree. It's a very different thing to criticize the people compared to criticizing the country. For example, I've lived in China, I have very good Chinese friends but because of the political situation and the past history, I fu

I have a good connection, so usually downloading a torrent of an HD movie takes 5 minutes (20-30 megabyte/s). On the other hand for some reason netflix often seems to think that I can't watch movies in HD or has small issues with

I really dislike entrapment based sting operations. The way they trapped him with those two undercover agents and use that to show that he would have aided a criminal stinks... It's not the actions of a just judicial system.

My solution for that is to read on my Kobo... Whenever an article seems like interesting enough to warrant reading, I add it to pocket and then read it on my ereader... It's more comfortable and less distracting
