I'm ashamed to be on the same list with you statists and fascists. Lot's I don't get here. First of all, stating one perhaps should have the right to wear whatever T-shirt you want in a mall isn't necessarily statist. There are, possibly, non-state-originating arguments in favor of such a

The kid was 22. When I was 22 I didn't know shit and I had a colege education. This kid probably had a 4th grade education if he was lucky. At 16 he probably joined the local army just to make sure he had a hunk of bread every now and then. Some time after that he hears that something bad

Using the software-DSP approach of GNUradio project and replacing the tuner part of the hardware with the photomultiplier, we can do all the image processing - filtering, integrating - in software, greatly reducing the cost of the equipment. I doubt it. Although I only scanned the article, in

Anarchy doesn't mean chaos, with people killing each other at will. No? But what about... I read what some of you folks here write and all I can say is that I hope you are inside the fireballs when the freedom fighters take out the Great Satan. Ah. It's all so clear when you put it like that.

Someone should go into that same mall with Support the War in Iraq T-shirts to see if they also get thrown out. What pisses me off is that its probably just some powerless little pion enforcing what they feel is the current accepted, noncontroversial stance. It could be that 90% of the people

This sure sounds like bullshit. How could a body be decapitated falling on a fence like that? The human body just ain't all that fragile. We're probably going to find out the guy's got a few dozen entries wounds in his back, in attempt to alter the man's course as he fell towards the fence.
