But it's not true to say that the internet is uncontrollable. The difficulty is that, until now, nothing has been done about the problem.
the nothing done about it yet might refer to internet providers being required to police content.
guess the honest box model ain't going to catch on.

what a bunch of cocks.
someone should take em to court. its a simple mater of consumer law. you bought something, it should work as advertised, you have certain rights, simple as that. -
another nail out of the cofffin of piracy and into the coffin privacy
UK: tougher piracy laws, blacklists of pirates
Six of the UK's biggest net providers have agreed a plan with the music industry to tackle piracy online.
The deal, negotiated by the government, will see hundreds of thousands of letters sent to net users suspected of illegally sharing music.
Hard core file-sharers could see their broadband connections slowed, under measures proposed by the UK government.
BT, Virgin, Orange, Tiscali, BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse have all signed up.
Geoff Taylor, chief executive of the BPI, which represents the music industry, said: "All of the major ISPs in the UK now recognise they have a responsibility to deal with illegal file-sharers on their networks."
Mr Taylor said it had taken years to persuade ISPs to adopt this view.

I thought sasha was a russian guy? but you're all a rugby team,
I get it, you should have said, I would have saved my breath ages ago. burly bunch, known for their social etiquette and enlighten views or am I thinking of someone else?.
the field is yours, knock yourself out. -
I just don't have the patience to go through every word time and time again in the hope that it has sunk in this time.
patience or clarity. either or. what makes you think your words are gold and that others must let them sink in?
I've noted a degree of bullying in your comments to me, to WH, and a few others, I'm not up for that. I've been pretty polite in addressing it, and I don't take lightly any inference your comments may make on me hence asking for clarification on what exactly you meant by his mornings comment. you weren't clear, are you forwarding the response 'if you don't know what I meant then I'm not going to tell you'?i'm not going to tell you to go elsewhere, you can do your bullying anywhere you like. don't expect me to like it, or respond to it in the usual fashion
What's with the aggression anyway. taking aside your hatin' on me why attack WH for a small comment?
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge.

Rob, could you possibly look for a middle ground between needling other participants and having a persecution complex?
sure, if you can try and read an element of good natured humor into at least some of my posts. I've been pretty forgiving about some fairly dubious comments in my direction don't you think. I haven't seen you jumping in then (nor do I expect you to, not your job).
nobody can be as highly strung as you're reading me, therefore it is reasonable to assume i'm not.

and stop wasting my time.
but you've obviously got time on your hands, I thought I was doing you a favour, helping you pass the time.
and reading your one sentence in its whole it could easily be read to mean exactly what I said in 2 parts.
but denial is common for perpetrators of family violence, so please don't go acting all surprised when people react to hearing the same arguments out of your mouth.
ie what comes out of my mouth sounds like what comes out of the mouths of perpetrators of family violence.
I also asked you to clarify what you meant because it was ambiguous and I certainly wouldn't want to misrepresent your meaning, which is why I started my sentence with "so what are you saying here"?

you have split a complete sentence into two parts
which bit?

Veitch is the "least interesting part of the incident"? WTF? I'm sorry, I just don't get that at all.
in that the individual that is tony veitch alone is a small part of the bigger picture.
that would be celebrity, media, the wider context of violence in new zealand that doesn't have a celebrity at its focus,That an incident of domestic violence happened in new zealand isn't unusual, we have a lot of it most of which sadly isn't considered news worth or worth the general public's time to contemplate.
what is unusual is it was a celebrity,
the public reaction to that,
the media's response to it,
what is printed as news,
etc etc.what we as a society do after the veitch incident dies down will be more telling. I'm betting not much, as whatever veitch "bought to justice" will be it will most likely be seen as job well done, we've solved domestic violence, carry on.
I'm saying this slightly desentisied by watching the harrowing taxi to the dark side doco re the institutionalised violence that lead to torture and murder in Iraq and Afghanistan.

and so on and so on ad freaking nauseam.
:) what'd I say?
come on D, can't we all just get along, lets be friends.to be honest I wasn't even thinking of you. I was chatting with sasha, in my mind you're the wedding dress thread
