| | Iran Cuts Off Internet Access | | An individual inside the country confirmed this morning that Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo email are no longer available. Ditto for Facebook. So far, the government has not made any announcement about the service interruption.
But cyber-sophisticated Iranians are still able to circumvent the government by using proxy servers over VPN connections.
"The interesting thing is that when asked, they deny the fact that all these services are all blocked," an Iranian contacted by CNET said. This individual asked to remain unidentified.
However, the Iranian noted that the regime has cut off the Internet during protests and that the buzz on the streets is that anti-government protests are planned for Saturday. February 11 marks the anniversary of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. Source: CNET News | | 24 Comments | | | But Iran is a peaceful and freedom loving country, they fully support human rights, and allow their citizens freedom of speech and movement. Why would they do anything like this?
It's evil Zionist America's fault! Down with Israel!
/Sarcasm | | | | ^^^^ butthurt Yank is just butthurt. The fact how shitty Iran is as a country speaks nothing about how shitty the US as a country is. These two facts are NOT mutually exclusive.
Anyway, this is partly good news. I wish my country would block facebook, it'd be a blast lol | | | | Internet censorship in any capacity is bad. I hate Facebook as well but I don't want it blocked. If we all had our way and were able to block sites we don't like we'd be no better than Iran, China and AMERICA! | | | | Quote:

Especially after Europe jumped in with ACTA.
And before someone says it, some retard signing a piece of paper (Obama). Doesn't put the bill into effect in America. It needs to first be ratified by Congress, which shelved SOPA/PIPA indefinitely. | | | | You aint got shit on Canada. | | | | | | Per capita I would be willing to be there is far more child porn in the US, atleast we're doing something about it. | | | | The FBI had a massive international bust a year or two ago that reached across over 30 countries. In coordination with Interpol hundreds were arrested and multiple victims rescued. | | | | Good for them, kinda leave your original point a tad bit hypocritical. | | | | Quote:

Couldn't find the original full article. Just this one where they were looking for a Mexican man who apparently went back to Mexico after running from the police here. |

Your point? Im sure a fair percentage of it was in the US, and based on population alone, not to mention some messed up demographics in certain parts of the US, I would wager there is far more child porn there then there is here. | | | | Lets all salute the US of A citizens as our superior. They are just better and it would be silly to try and argument against it.
- There is almost no crime in the US of A. Murder, rape and theft are practically unheard of.
- People there are very free to live their lives the way they want
- Their health-care system takes care of everyone at low cost
- There aren't about 50 million poor citizens in US of A
- US of A liberates many countries of domestic oppressors, especially those that have their lands stuffed with oil or countries which reside on strategically important oil transport lines. Their actions have a very stabilizing effect
- The political system is very fair and corruption free, especially the congress. They would never take away people right to vote based on the skin color, for example.
HAIL! | | | | It's great you finally understand mkey. I'm glad. | | | | Oh wait, it seems I was off at couple of points.
- there seems to be loads of crime in the US. As far as reported crime rates go, there is more reported crime in US then Germany, France and Russia put together. Per capita the numbers are less bleak and I did find the numbers for Germany rather high, but I'm very positive German numbers are a lot closer to the real thing then it is with some other countries.
- yes, especially with introduction of the patriotic act, civil rights for the US citizens have gone through the roof. Who in their right mind wouldn't like fascist acts breaking the constitution allowing for law breaking law enforcement. I don't know who started the ACTA and SOPA crap, but it certainly wasn't the US government... no wait, wrong again, it was the bush administration
- apparently, there seem to be cases where sick and injured people are being tossed out of the hospitals for not being able to pay for uber high medical treatment bills in the US. This seems to be a bit in conflict with my previous statement, but at least most people are covered by medical insurance... no wait, lol wrong again, not only that about 40 million people in US are not insured, but insurance companies do their best to prevent people from getting the insurance in the first place
- in fact, there aren't 50 million poor people in US, there were about 40 in 2008, I'd wager there are more now after the economic turbulence
- I won't even comment on this one, it's just plain silly and I have a terrible hangover
- again, apparently it was the congress who allowed for obviously rigged Bush election to pass, they are pushing through with various laws which would probably make people who wrote the constitution in the first place turn in their graves if that was at all possible. Also, they allowed for deregulation of US financial institutions which provoked the history largest economical breakdown, with key players sitting on the top, their pockets stuffed bribing their way to sainthood
Apparently, I also failed to mention examples of media and government misconduct during the past years which left us with even richer top 1% of population. The above post of mine was probably the most uninformed piece of garble I managed to spout over the web, have never been that much wrong in my entire life, so sorry for that. | | | | Quote:

#2 If you are sick, insured or not, you get coverage, and will get the medical care you need. We don't need to wait in line like certain government run healthcare programs where a panel of "medical professionals" determine if a medical procedure is worth the money or not. In America you get the care you need when you need it, worry about the cost at another time.
As for # of poor people. Each country has a different definition of poor, thus its hard to judge that.
Crime reporting is different in other cultures too. Soo
As for the USA liberating other countries, that's still spot on! |

| Quote | | | | | Rather have quality care now, then free handout in a few months. | | | | Ah another american who believed all the bullshit their HMO's fed them about "socialist health care", Ill take my health care system here in Mother Canada over being at the mercy of some hmo. Im a firm believer that no one should have to die because they cant afford health care and no one should have to go broke because they get sick. | | | | No one dies in America if you can't pay for it at the time of your sickness. Heck, our government even allows illegal immigrants to get healthcare.
As for how much you pay for a procedure, it varies from state to state. Think the most expensive state is California, the socialist hub of America. Cheapest one is actually Texas. | | | | Considering a friend of mine got ill in the US, spent 3 days in hospitabl and left with a 20k bill Im gonna have to call bs, theres many americans that marry canadians just to take advantage of our healthcare system and drugs, and we're not at the mercy of some HMO and insurance company that dicates what procedure they will let you have, if any. | | | | Call bs on what? That's exactly what I said happens.
You get the care you want/need when you need it, and worry about paying the bill at another time. | | | | most people cant afford that sort of bill, it will ruin them and they will never get out of debt, something serious will run them in the 100's of thousands, here you dont get financially ruined when you get sick. | | | | Quote:

There are still various private medical institutions in my non US country which are ready to service you immediately for a handsome fee. They usually offer a better/nicer service and sometimes it's just better to go with them (if you can afford it), but most of the time the healthcare system has you covered so you don't get to pay insane prices on cheap meds, simple procedures etc. |
