Hrm. The statement I was talking about can be phrased as "In terms of leftness, pro-genocide < anti-labor union", or "pro-genocide > pro-labor union", so yeah, you're right. Would have to propose that genocide is left of unions for the statement to be technically correct. Too tired, I am.

EDIT: ...I'm going to be visiting the out of context thread soon, aren't I?

The political spectrum is not a circle. It's a delliberate misrepresentation which has survived to our day and lost it's original meaning

Interesting part of the article.

"We will allow people to demonstrate, to march and to express their opinions," Jordan said. But he and Quan stressed that camping will not be permitted and free speech activities should occur only between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Oh good, we've made free speech conditional. And here I was worrying.

See! I knew there was nothing to worry about!

What the hell? I thought 'free speech activities' were protected in the Federal constitution? Does California get an exemption or something?

The liberals(radicals) sat on the left end of the table in the French revolution, though I forget the group name of the conservative group on the right. Moderates were in the middle, though.

French revolution?  I thought left wing dated to the french general assembly before the revolution.  The people's representatives sat on the left, the clergy in the middle and the nobles on the right.

Huh. So those 'centrists' are obviously opposed to separation of church and state! I KNEW IT!

An article on the political backlash of the confrontations in Oakland.  I do kinda feel like too much blame and anger is being piled on the mayor, who apparently has an impressive history of activism.  The whole thing was definitely a botch, but I think a lot of bad decisions by a lot of people, perhaps a bad law enforcement culture, and some major irresponsibility by some protesters are all to blame.

I'll be visiting the States in about a week, been thinking about swinging up to NYC just to check out OWS.

A spambot with an avatar.

... My god.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm not entirely sure that this one is a spambot. If it is, it's definitely human, not a program.

[Siquo]

Not spam I think: there's no link. Also, it has made relevant statements. So it's either really good, or not spambot, but if I can't tell the difference, it doesn't really matter anymore, does it?

[Dsarker]

Unless it's making posts everywhere, getting us used to it, then putting the links in.

[Gunner-Chan]

Well currently, the website link is obviously not a private website. Unless whoever this is owns the presumably small company and named his account after it. Still weird though.

[Heliman]

Funny anomaly detected! Can't wait to see how that progresses.

Oakland protesters regroup - Iraq vet hurt

Go Oakland! Respect for not bowing down.

Well currently, the website link is obviously not a private website. Unless whoever this is owns the presumably small company and named his account after it. Still weird though.

Well, my company name == my nickname. I'm just not doing anything with it, but otherwise I'd probably link it from my profile.
We're watching you, kukouri... one misstep, and you're off to the magmapits!
