• Commented on Beck's Gamma Ray
  I agree with the Scientology comments. Hard to respect someone who buys into that bs. #8 posted by Clif Marsiglio Why do people even bring up others religions when they haven't shown any sign of oppressing others with it. Scientology...
• Commented on Of Two Minds: An Interview with Charles Hugh Smith
  BC2: May I humbly ask BoingBoing not to disemvowel. Antinous: Read the Moderation Policy. Also, that comment was dv'ed for dickery, not the brilliance of its ideas. I guess I'm too much of a fan of free-speech. I think even...
• Commented on Of Two Minds: An Interview with Charles Hugh Smith
  May I humbly ask BoingBoing not to disemvowel. In the meanwhile, I (and anyone else wanting to read disemvowled comments) will find this tool useful: http://www.disemvowelment.com/reemvowel.html Re: #10 bademailname I sort of agree. I've actually found that I disagree with...
• Commented on XKCD strip explains how DRM creates piracy
  Zuzu: Maybe not a "right", but certainly a market demand. It's the job of business to provide customers with what customers want; not to dictate to them what business thinks customers should be allowed to have. Uh, yeah right. If...
• Commented on Book on the current Secession movement (and Sarah Palin)
  http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/sliming_palin.html #7 posted by Tommy: Yeesh! That factcheck link is as weaselly as anything else I've read.

• Commented on Human rights worker: JFK's secondary screening procedures are "human rights abuses"
  That's an unfortunate story. But, I couldn't help but be somewhat amused/irritated at the overreactions in the comments. The guy in the story "went from feeling exuberant about his trip to New York to despising the entire country." Despising the...
• Commented on DMCA does not apply to US government, which can crack DRM with impunity
  Don't agree with the ruling that the US is immune from the DCMA, but Davenport/Blueport would've failed in their anyway since: Given that Davenport used his position as part of the relevant Air Force office to get his peers to...
• Commented on NYT on trolls
  Personally, I don't care much for "disemvowelling", and would prefer that the internet would stop using it. Occasionally, I'll try to read some "trolls" comment just to see what they say, but disemvowelling makes it a headache to read. In...
• Commented on Radley Balko: A Few Questions for Barack Obama
  #3 posted by BC2: I'm a little confused why those questions are aimed at Obama, rather than politicians and Washington in general. #15 posted by trr: #3: Err, because Obama is running for POTUS? "Politicians in general" aren't running for...
• Commented on Radley Balko: A Few Questions for Barack Obama
  I'm a little confused why those questions are aimed at Obama, rather than politicians and Washington in general. For example, didn't Bush have drug problems? Didn't the FOX News ignore exactly these types of questions when Bush was running? Oh,...
• Commented on Cylons explain DRM
  Bits is bits, Brit. Everything else is a social fiction. Yeah, right. The idea that there should be a free-for-all on Petabytes of digital content is the fiction. Care to upload your diary to the internet, Church? Your social security...
