Here's some food for thought for you because God knows you could use some brain food...
You seem to either hate or have the internets biggest crush on Masnick.
I'd be willing to venture that less than 1% of the people who read and post here can stand you.
You seem to have only the vaguest idea of what copyright trolls are despite the fact that you post in every. single. thread. about them.
Whay are you here again? If it's so we all can get a good laugh at the microcephalic idiot then kudos. Well done. If you really ARE that stupid, take a moment and think about the fact that you are so near-universally reviled that you get reported no matter WHAT you post and maybe stay away from this place for a week or two.
As much as I see OOTB as a total troll, what due process was being enforced that OOTB obviously hated?
I'm all for bagging on trolls but at least use a plausible reason.
Is it just me or does out_of_the_blue seem to have a gigantic kindergarten crush on Masnick?
I'm here in Michigan but I sure as hell didn't vote for him. I don't know anyone who did - which says something about the type of people I hang out with.
I normally wouldn't bother asking this but who the hell is Cathy? I'd dearly like to go back and read some of this stuff but I need more context!
Thanks.
Of course they are. They're all lawyers so what did you expect? Rationality?
Yes.
There. See how easy that was?
I don't see how they've lost any credibility considering that every nation spies on every other nation and they all know it. The big fuck up on the U.S. part was having all this shit get leaked out like this.
Also to lose credibility, you have to have it in the first place.
You say that like it's a bad thing...
As I see it, the main problem with Federal judges is the fact that they're all political appointees - i.e., they're appointed by whichever political party leader they suck up to the most. The fact that they're then put in a position of almost unlimited power with damn near no oversight makes things even worse. I'm glad all this bullshit is coming out but to be honest, i seriously doubt if anything substantial will change. Oh sure, they may say that they've stopped doing it but does anyone really believe it? If so then you're a complete fool. In fact, anyone who believes anything the government tells them regarding national security measures as being a truthful statement is a goddamned idiot.
Re:
Well of course the NSA wants a totalitarian state rather than the rumor of one. Once they can actually BE Big Brother instead of acting like his younger, stupider half-sibling, they can continue on in their quest to rule the Earth.
