I didn't realize that a lot of emails that were from friends/traders went into my "bulk mail" folder and it's a good thing that I checked recently because I saw a few that were stuck in that folder. I usually delete the bulk folder without looking, so I must've missed a bunch of important emails. _________________
And i have a feeling it has something to do with the di(khead minister blocking youtube from this country just because they're doing this porn-site blocking thing. you can't even flash your boobs and upload it on youtube for god's sake how is it considered a porn site?

Blocking YouTube from the entire country?! Yikes. What's the next step, I wonder? _________________

Indonesia blocks YouTube, file-sharing sites to stop viewing of anti-Islam film
9 April 2008
Source: Southeast Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA)
Major Internet service providers in Indonesia have reportedly blocked several file-sharing websites in adherence to a government order prohibiting people from viewing online a controversial short film that paints a demonic image of Islam.
On 31 March 2008, the Information Ministry gave YouTube a one-week deadline to remove "Fitna" ("strife" or "disturbance" in Arabic) - a short film which features shots of terrorist acts juxtaposed over Quranic verses - failing which it would be blocked. On 7 April, a few ISPs started to deny access not only to YouTube but also MySpace and Google Video.
Around 150 other Internet service providers in the country have yet to implement the order, which stays until the websites remove the film, reports said.
Home to the biggest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia nevertheless maintains a secular government, which justified its disproportionate action in denying access to millions of videos on account of one film by claiming that the said film "could disturb relations between the faiths".
The 15-minute film found its way to the Internet on 27 March after its creator, the anti-immigration Dutch politician Geert Wilders, rejected conditions for local television broadcast, chiefly on the right to edit.
Wilders said the film was intended as a warning of a "tsunami of Islamisation" in the Netherlands, where there are nearly one million Muslims. Nonetheless, the controversial film has generated mostly condemnation from Muslims around the world, and the threats have spilled over onto online media providers who posted it, driving some to remove the film out of fear of harm befalling them.

O yea, I heard about this from a colleague. Apparently Wilders tried to get euro stations to play his movie and was of course denied. He's disgusting. _________________

Yeah his tactics are quite unseemly...but it's also disgusting when some fundamentalist hacks some guy's head off and puts it on the web for all the world to see. I don't agree with Wilders provactive tack, but I do understand the angst.
When they killed the Archbishop of an already beseiged Christian community in Iraq, I didn't hear any Muslims crying a river.....it's a two way street.

Religion is merely a tool for group preservation and propagation. There's no reason for a one way street when your way is the only way.

That's what I told this guy when I was driving down Fourth Street in L.A....."it's a one way street" He then attempted to kill me. Thankfully I acted quickly by puncturing his tire with an empty yakitori skewer that I took from Shinsengumi. I made a clean get away.
