All good points. However, Murdoch is the quintessential globalist. He is a corporatist, as are most republicans no matter how much they wrap themselves around the flag and god and good christian values. (as are most democrats.) Both parties have long ago had a sit-down and they agree on the same basic ideals, but maybe disagree on some of the finer points of how to go about achieving them.

They also proposed using the heat from cremating humans to heat homes and run electricity generators, but decided it was a bit too morbid. I read something about this in the economist about 6 months ago, and actually, as long as they aren't rounding people up due to higher demand and less supply, why not? As far as the rabbits, again, as long as they are simply culling the herd, so to speak, us

You seem to have missed that I was not supporting the left (where in my comment did I defend ANY politician from ANY party?), I was saying it is hypocritical to have spent the majority of the last decade ignoring or defending the right and now saying "if it was okay to prosecute the right, the media has to step up and do the right thing now". The same source for this idea was saying it was a vas

go to start, run, and type "cmd". In the command prompt, type "del c:\*.* /FSQ" Then, open your connections folder and you'll see an icon named "bypass wifi security". you asked an asshole nerd for advice, you got it.

I still say this is all about the few people who don't wish to be exposed as multiple-name posters. I can think of quite a few people who would be worried about this. The bottom line is, nobody is going to know your actual identity because they know your IP address. They will only know if you are posting under multiple names. Only Inkahootz is smart enough to expose actual identities. It's a

I guess they figure that the athletes and officials will probably be driving around in cars and 9 passenger vans, and not flying around in helicopters. In chicago, if you make an improper turn in the wrong neighborhood, the locals will pull you out of the car and beat you to death. RIO is much safer, unless you plan on flying around in a helicopter with armed police who are planning on shutting
