Red rep is this thing next to your posts, implying people have giving you negative reputations. http://forums.digitalpoint.com//images/reputation/reputation_neg.gif People with green ones have been giving good reps.
Oh I see -- it's a community consensus thing. So when I asked why you mentioned the tin foil hat thing, your answer was my little red gif image. Hmm, shouldn't there be a little tin foil hat image instead? However, when I moused over it just now, the alt text said "a little shameless behavior in the past." Actually that's incorrect. How can I get some more red votes, as there ain't no shame in my game (so to speak). Undoubtedly this is voting a system that indicates people don't agree with your opinions/statements, etc. I probably picked up the red votes from some of those racists hate mongers on DP when I refused to condone and advocate the torture and wholesale murder of innocent men, women and children of Arab, Persian and Middle Eastern decent. Character, morals & laws don't seem to mean much anymore. But that shouldn't deter you and I from having a convo -- should it? Hey, how bout those Longhorns?
So you mean if I endorse torture, murder, rape, theft and lies I'll get some green votes and I'll be considered "good" by other members here? Why can't I just be a person who wants the best for my fellow man? Does it always have to come down to what color you are? Who makes up these rules? They don't sound very just or fair. Do you approve of criminal behavior and genocide?
I don't understand your resentment. You are the one who said my red color speaks for itself. I told you why it's there -- yet now you seem to have changed your mind and threaten me with an insult because I asked a question. Are you emotionally damaged, or do you just not like the question? p.s. I liked your Francis S. Bacon quote better.
Back to Henry Rollins... He briefly mentioned the net neutrality issues in Freedom Under Attack. For more information, you should read Bill Moyers' The Net @ Risk page. Scary.
Yes -- very good article (and links) thanks -- I'll bookmark 'em. I've been following this issue (among others of import) for quite a while now. With the elimination of Habeas Corpus by Bush on the 17th of this month, it's pretty much anything goes now. The entire rulebook (the Constitution) is out the window. Beginning of the end to America http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15321167/ Habeas Corpus gone -- our rights evaporated http://msnbc.msn.com/id/15318240/ .
Here is some sage advice Believe none of what you hear and half of what you read.. The CIA cannot find Osama ...there is no chance they could run a tech company like Google.. As a matter of fact some of Googles CS Degreed people might make the CIA effective.
I agree; they probably don't run Google -- at the same time though, I think it's probable they've infiltrated it for whatever the same reasons they're involved with every other major media outlet.
