Short and Simple

So are you Americans going to sit there and submit reddit article after reddit article, or are you going to do something and rebel, revolt?

I mean from pretty much everything that is posted, it seems like a lot of people are very unhappy with the way things are run, and if you see reddit as your sole news source (a bad idea), you may as well presume that the US is becoming a police state and the only hope is to run (hell even over here they want ISPs to censor things).

So Bush acts above the law, Cheney needs impeaching, your civil rights are crushed every day, your health service (or insurance) is unfair.

But what are you going to do? Is it just reddit that is infested with the disgust you guys show with things like this? Do a lot of people over there realise the problems we are dealing with?

Are you going to make submission after submission posting to the same angry blogs and videos?

Are you going to upmod submissions in the slight hope that it changes something?

Are you going to post comment after comment in the hope that somebody listens?

Are you going to do something? If the country is really going to slip into some police state, what is going to happen? You are in a way a testing ground - you're at the forefront of all the things the government is putting onto you, the rest of the world waits on the status of what is happening to you and whether it will happen to us. So what's it going to be, America? Are you going to just cry out to http servers hoping they will somehow change something?

Or is there even the slightest hope of change?

Social Breakdown

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/politics/story/0,,2121419,00.html

Stop trying to pinpoint the death of society and kids going nutso and ignoring teachers or whatever on specific things.

The breakdown of society is not due to immigrants, mary jane, or lack of religion. It is because of a whole mix of things. It is because people have outsmarted the rules to their own demise. Blocking bomb websites wont fix this. So Joe looks at his Bible which tells him to not have sex unless he wants to be pregnant and goes: Fuck that, why should I obey a book.
He fucks Tracy who has no idea how to parent because her mother was courted by their lord and never learned how to support a family, and thus, when parliament was created and the feudal system dissolved, there were a whole bunch of people who never realised how to raise a kid to not be a fucking prick.

These kids start on me on Saturday nights.

But it isn't these kids fault. Sure, they should become more self-aware and realise what they are doing, but who can blame them. They are approached by a kid who acts all superior, tries to do all this conversation shit they're not used to, he's had a shitty upbringing and a shitty live so far through no fault of his own, but it isn't completely the guy's fault, despite a small part of the blame lying with him (just as a small part of the blame lies with whoever made the alcohol he's drunk), it is the fault of...his parents, but its a similar situation with them. So who's fault is it?

Case in point, stop trying to pin blame on a single entity. It is neither that guy's fault nor the Liberals who broke/free'd society nor his parents, nor the Lord who failed to allow the ancestors a decent education (or is it).

But it is all of our responsibility to fix this.
Point in case, blame is dumb, chavs are people just as we are, it is nobodys fault but everybodies responsibility.

Funny how things work out.

Oh Shit Mohammed

This is an amazingly brief thought on the workings of terrorists and how to evade them.

Okay, so, as someone who thinks similarily (but in no way as amazingly as many hackers) I know that the idea revolves around:
1. Spot protocol.
2. Reverse Engineer protocol...what is it looking for? How do they find result x? What criteria do they use to classify something "suspicious" or "terrorist". Are you an Asian with a wire dangling, for instance? (much simplified and dumbed down).
3. Once you have reverse engineered the protocol, sussed out what needs to be done to evade the Joe Bob police officer doing his job, finding the suspicious asian man, do the opposite.
4. Board train.
5. ?????????
6. Destroy infidels!!!!

So, all the terrorists need to do is suss our current procedures and training manuals, outsmart our officers with a charming English accent and noteworthy destinations and reasons for travelling, then blow shit up.

Never use by-the-book standards. While there is a book there is a way to outsmart it.
What I'm saying is, if like hackers, dvd decrypters, and crackers, they will always break your box whilst you create a box to break. Terrorists will see somethings static like a guideline or a rule ("search asian males with dangling wires") and they have all the time in the world to figure out a way around it. Its like putting a gate to a city. If its there long enough, someone will get through it.

What do we do? Some sort of organic solution. Make guidelines which the terrorists cannot reverse engineer and predict, stop helping Israel, stop invading places, who knows. We're doing something wrong for this many people to hate us, anyway.
